Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 640

When Samuel got to the seaside, firefighters had stopped searching the sea.

Ella had been found but she had no pulse and was not breathing.

Eric informed Samuel the bad news, causing Samuel to punch him on the face. Though angry at him, Eric did not show it. He sent Samuel to see Ella's corpse.

At that moment, few people knew about what had happened to Ella. It was better to keep it secret.

Samuel mindlessly walked to the seaside. He pushed his way through the firefighters and looked at the body lying on the ground.

She still wore the ancient costume from the play. Her body was pale and swollen because of the seawater.

For a moment, he felt like his soul had been sucked away. He crouched before Ella and reached down to touch her face.

Her face was cold, which made his eyes bloodshot. His heart hurt as if someone had plucked and torn it from him.

Tears began to well up in his eyes. He murmured, "Ella, Ella..."

The crowd stared at him, slack-jawed.

Samuel was Ella's ex-husband, was it necessary for him to shed tears like this?

Their relationship seemed to be complicated.

The crowd whispered. However, after Samuel fought back tears, he pulled her hand before his eyes and took a close look at her wrist.

Then he turned over her body. The crowd was confused by his actions.

Then he uncovered her body and found there was nothing on her pale waist.

"This is not Ella!" he shouted.

He said it confidently making the crowd more confused.

He looked at Eric who was more puzzled. Samuel said firmly, "This is not Ella."

Ella had a tiny mole on her wrist. The mole could not be corroded by seawater in a day.

That was impossible!

Even if someone contradicted that it was possible

How would one explain the lack of a round birthmark that was usually on Ella's waist?

There were other questions. 'Who was this lady pretending to be Ella?

Where did Ella go?'

Questions run through one of the crowd.

The corpse was carried away by the legal examiner. Samuel went back to his car, lost in thought.

It was obvious that Ella was in danger, even though the corpse was not her.

It was uncertain how long Ella had been missing. According to one of her workmates, she was with the crew the previous night when they were filming the play.

So Ella was captured last night and someone else was thrown into the sea.

'Who had taken Ella away?'

Samuel made a few calls to check whether Ella had been seen or to get some clues about where Ella may have gone.

After making several calls, Samuel focused on who could have wished Ella dead.

Was it Catherine?

Emma?

Or someone in the crew?

He recalled an accident that had happened four years ago. Maybe both of the accidents were engineered by the same person.

The person involved in that accident was never found. Samuel felt frustrated that Ella was in such a circumstance again.

Thinking of this, he brutally hit the steering wheel. The horn sound gave the crowd quite a scare.

The sound also pulled him together. He took out his phone and dialed Catherine's number. "Sam, what's up?"

Her voice was indifferent as usual.

"Where are you?"

His cold voice scared her. She replied apprehensively, "I am at the company. What happened?"

Samuel could not detect any abnormality from her voice. He hung up. However, he sent a man to get surveillance video of Catherine's residential area, from the previous night until today in the morning.

Then, he drove off to look for Ella.

Suddenly, his phone rang, displaying an unknown number.
