"Let's go there," Jared said.
Amber's lips parted. She hesitated to step forward.
After all, a body was lying there.
Except on TV, she had never seen a dead person in her life or been to a suicide scene personally before.
Hence, she was frightened now.
Jared could see her fear. Pinching her hands gently, he said, "It's OK. I'm with you."
Amber turned to look at him.
Seeing his calmness and solemness, she could feel the fear in her heart fade away.
"Let's go." Jared could tell she felt better. Hence, he took her hand and walked forward.
Amber let him take her over. She stared at his tall, sturdy figure, her eyes twinkling. She was lost in thought.
"Here you came." Officer Everett was writing notes. Seeing Amber, Jared, and Ben, he immediately closed the notebook and came over.
Jared slightly nodded at him. "How's it going, Officer Everett?"
He looked in front.
The doctors and policemen were surrounding the scene, so he hadn't seen the exact spot for the time being.
That was why he asked Officer Everett.
Officer Everett pressed his hat brim and answered, "The dead body is still there. The legal examiner hadn't arrived yet, so I asked the doctor of this hospital to help examine the corpse. They are not professional legal s, so they are quite slow. So far, there's no progress yet."
"Why didn't you let Elias Lansdale do it?" Jared frowned.
Elias was pretty interested in the human body's research.
Hence, he worked as a part-time legal examiner when he was abroad.
Only a legal examiner could do experiments on human bodies.
"Yes, I did." Officer Everett heaved a sigh and continued, "A doctor suggested letting Dr. Lansdale do it, but he's on surgery now. He'll come here later."
"No. He has arrived," Amber said, pointing at a figure in front.
Jared and Officer Everett over in unison, only to find that Elias was rushing over, still wearing the green operation gown and an operation hat.
Officer Everett looked delighted. "Great. Here comes Dr. Lansdale. If he completes the autopsy, we'll reason out why Makenna has committed suicide. Mr. Farrell, Ms. Reed, I must talk to Dr. Lansdale. Please excuse me."
"Okay." Jared nodded.
Officer Everett walked to Elias.
Elias also had seen him together with Jared and Amber behind.
He ignored Jared, nodding at Amber in greetings.
Amber nodded at him in response. Then Elias talked with Officer Everett.
They exchanged a few words. Officer Everett asked others who surrounded Makenna's corpse to dismiss.
On the other side, Elias also noticed what had happened to Amber. He was about to examine Makenna’'s corpse and put on
gloves. He directly took off the gloves and walked to Jared and Amber instead.
However, he had never expected Amber to react so fast. Before he covered her eyes, she had seen that bloody scene.
Jared blamed himself.
Elias didn't speak. He lifted Amber's eyelids and checked up on her. Then he pressed the point between her nose and mouth
and other acupuncture points.
Jared lifted her head and looked into her eyes. He said tenderly, "I know. Stop thinking about it. As long as you don't think or
recall, you will not fear."
Amber panted. "Impossible. How can 1 stop thinking about it? It's such a horrible scene. It keeps appearing in my mind. I...
"Hmm..."
He couldn't believe they were kissing on the suicide scene, which was supposed to be bloody and severe. How could they
suddenly play public display of affection?
