Chapter 190 Unseen Courage
Chapter 190 Unseen Courage
Avery had seen the body of an elderly family member who passed away, which waspletely
different from the tragically deceased body in front of her.
Even though she didn''t get a clear look at Jane''s face at that nce, Avery was still scared to the point
of retching.
Frank patted her back to help her catch her breath. "Are you okay?"
"Sorry," Avery apologized.
"It''s normal for people who haven''t seen a body before, let alone one that has undergone cadaveric
spasm. I understand."
"Why aren''t you afraid?"
"You stop being afraid once you''ve seen enough," Frank said indifferently, his deep-set eyes harboring
an elusive expression. "Besides, the living are more terrifying than the dead in this world."
Avery didn''t know what this man had been through. He was only a few years older than her but was
shrouded in mystery.
Such eyes could only belong to someone who had been tempered by hardship.
Perhaps she wasn''t the only one who had suffered in this world. Avery overcame her fear inside and
turned on the shlight.
"I''ll hold the light for you. You check quickly."
"Okay." Frank instructed softly, "Close your eyes and leave the rest to me."
To not dy the process, Avery quickly closed her eyes.
A hand was ced on her wrist, and Frank''s voice came from beside her ear. "Excuse me."
He held her wrist and walked over to the corpse. In the cold room, the warmth of his hand was
particrly intense.
Avery then heard the rustling sound, probably Frank taking off the corpse''s trousers.
Fortunately, the trousers in the psychiatric hospital were loose, and he didn''t need to use much force to
pull them down.
Despite not seeing it, Avery could tell what he was doing.
She held the shlight high.
"It''s done," Frank reminded, "Don''t open your eyes, and wait until I put the body back."
Avery couldn''t wait to ask, "How is it?"
"Her cervix wasterally torn."
"Normally, the cervix of a woman who has never given birth is round, so it seems she really did give
birth to a child."
"Yes."
Frank took Avery away, paid for Jane''s funeral expenses, and had her properly buried.
"It''s been dyed for so long, and she can finally rest in peace. After all, I caused her death. If it
weren''t for me, perhaps she wouldn''t have died so early."
Frank shook his head. "Not necessarily. I found out that she had been injected with forbidden drugs
before her death, causing her to be mentally confused. Even without you, she wouldn''t have lived much
longer."

"She said someone took her child. Who could that be? Could it be that her parents took the child
abroad?"
"We can''t conclude just yet, but today, we''ve obtained quite a few clues. Leave the rest to me. I''ll take
you back first. By the way."
Frank took out a mobile phone from his pocket. "From now on, contact me with this phone."
If she frequently contacted Frank, it would eventually be discovered, considering how easy it was for
Jacob to track hermunication records.
"Thank you."
"If you can help the people on the ind, that''s the best reward for me."
Avery returned to the secret room and left with the two children.
Carl''s face was deathly pale, obviously frightened.
On the contrary, the frail Randy was calm and even supported Carl when they came out. "It''s all fake.
You were so scared that you jumped into an NPC''s arms."
Avery thought of this scene and found it amusing. "I didn''t see thating. Carl is such a scaredy-
cat?"
"Avy, you didn''t see it. Carl just got scared into making whimpers. It was hrious."
"Shut up!"
The two of them scuffled, their cheerful atmosphere dissipating the sadness of Jane''s death.
A car stopped by the roadside, and the window rolled down to reveal Jacob''s cold face. "Get in."
