Chapter 245 Open the Coffin!
When Pierre returned home, he saw that the house was covered in white linen and his heart skipped a beat. A servant rushed up to him and exclaimed, “You’re finally back, Young Master Pierre!”
“What happened?” he asked as he scanned around the house. “Young Master Jamie… H-He…” The servant sighed and simply said, “Just go in now, Young Master Pierre.”
After stepping into the living room, he noticed something that caught his eyes. He didn’t dare to take a step nearer to the tiny crystal coffin he saw in the room.
Right at that moment, John paced over to him and gave him a slap immediately! “Where have you been? You don’t even know that your son is dead! This is all because of you! If you didn’t hook up with that woman, then your son wouldn’t have died!” he yelled, venting all his pent up frustrations on Pierre.
Peering past John’s shoulder, Pierre then reckoned that the person in the coffin was Jameson. But this is impossible! he thought. How could he be dead when I’ve only been gone for a few days? This is definitely not possible!
“Are you sure that the person in there is Jamie?” Marching up to the tiny transparent coffin, he saw that the body in it had his face covered.
Initially, John intended to let the child have a dignified funeral, so he looked for experts to try to restore his appearance. However, even the best mortuary makeup artist was helpless as the child’s face had been cut with a knife before it was burned with fire; it would be impossible to restore the appearance now.
Thus, John decided to spare himself the pain and used a cloth to cover the child’s face.
“Open the coffin!” Pierre yelled as he tried to find a way to open up the crystal coffin.
