Chapter 1160 Unfair
Nothing! There really isn’t anything! Samuel went down on a knee and continued searching the edge of the corpse’s face hoping to find a flaw.
However, the face of the body was impeccable, and no flaw could be found. Just like that, a graceful man like Samuel knelt in front of the mortuary fridge with reddened eyes while tears rolled down his cheeks.
“That’s impossible! This can’t possibly be her!” The officer couldn’t bring himself to watch the scene.
He thought Samuel was rational since the latter stopped Yandel from causing a scene. Seeing Samuel’s distraught look now, he finally understood the situation.
It wasn’t that Samuel didn’t love his wife but that he didn’t believe she was dead before seeing her corpse himself. “Mr. Bowers, I know you feel upset, but the dead can’t be resurrected.” The young officer sighed. “I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m sure Natalie wouldn’t want you to be in pain because of her,” he consoled.
However, his words fell on deaf ears. Samuel continued to stare at that familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Why isn’t your heart beating? Why are you ignoring me when I’m right in front of you? I was wrong! Terribly wrong! I shouldn’t have let you take the risk. Nat, you can do whatever you want to me as long as you’re alive. I’ll take any punishments you give me willingly. Please wake up. Stop joking around!
“Nat—”
The young officer tried to console Samuel but was ignored. Thus, he couldn’t help but feel dejected.
Alas, men are bound to fall for a woman’s beauty. This man exudes an imposing aura, so he must have a high status. Seeing how he loses his demeanor and charisma for a dead lady, he is no different from any other ordinary man.
It was his duty to let Natalie’s family claim her body.
With no choice, the officer stood by Samuel’s side while the latter mourned.
After a long while, Samuel slowly stood up from the ground. Facing Natalie’s body, he said faintly, “Nat, I’ll take you home.”
He sounded gentle and affectionate, as though he was speaking to a living person.
Witnessing the scene, the officer didn’t think it was a frightening sight. Instead, it warmed his heart, yet he felt helpless.
