A Cue for Love novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 

 

Natalie had just stepped out of the autopsy room.

 

Next to her, Effie put a palm over her mouth and nose even though she was wearing a mask. Still, she looked like she was about to throw up anytime soon.

 

“I can’t stand this…” Effie muttered, waving her hand. “Heaven knows how long this body had been soaking in the sewer before they dug it up.”

 

“Well, that’s the reality of being a coroner. It’s no easy job,” said Natalie, patting Effie’s shoulder gently. “Besides conducting autopsies, we also need to provide evidence for criminal investigation.”

 

“I understand.”

 

When Effie could not stand the stench any longer, she dragged Natalie along and headed to the restroom to freshen up.

 

Just then, Natalie’s phone rang.

 

When she realized it was Sophia calling, her mood lightened in an instant, and she picked it up with a smile.

 

Immediately, the sound of Sophia crying came from the other side of the phone.

 

“Save Franklin…”

 

Upon hearing Sophia’s words, Natalie froze.

 

“What happened to Franklin?” Natalie felt a pang of heartache as her throat tightened. “Take your time and tell me what happened. I’m here. Everything’s going to be fine.”

 

For some reason, Sophia felt soothed and relieved by Natalie’s voice.

 

“Great-grandpa… H-He is punishing Franklin… Franklin didn’t do anything wrong…” Sophia mumbled hurriedly between sobs.

 

At that moment, she hated the way she stuttered when she spoke.

 

Nevertheless, Natalie understood what she wanted to tell her because she could vaguely hear the sound of Franklin being punished.

 

Although there were some noises in the background, she could somehow hear the sound of the cane clearly

 

The sound of one stroke after another was enough to infuriate Natalie to the point where her body trembled with anger.

 

At that moment, all she could think about was that no one could ever touch Franklin without her permission.

 

“I’m coming right now, Sophia.”
