The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1353

"This is what's going on now. We found a male corpse near the scene of the accident, but you said that they took your husband away. Hence, that corpse can't possibly be your husband. Please remain calm."

"What did you say?" I shot up from my seat.

My body started shaking uncontrollably, and my eyes widened. I desperately hoped that he was joking.

"Calm down, Miss. We still aren't sure if that's your husband."

I clasped my hands together tightly, feeling my nails dig into my flesh as fear took over me.

'But we need you to help us identify if that man is your husband."

"Okay."

"Follow me.”

It felt like my heart was lodged in my throat. My legs were trembling, but I forced myself to keep walking. It was only a short distance, but it felt like the longest walk of my life.

I followed the officer into a room, and he said, "I'm letting her see if the corpse is her husband.”

"Alright."

I kept telling myself that there was no way it could be Theo, but a part of me feared the worst. What if it was him? This internal back-and-forth was driving me insane.

They would never show me the corpse itself, so I could only look at photos. I walked over, my palms bleeding from where my nails had pierced into my flesh. I tried my best to suppress my fear as I approached the photos on the wall.

When I looked at them, I was stunned.
