Kevin frowned instantly. “Arresting Daniel should be our priority for now. After all, the truth will be revealed once we get our
hands on him.”
At that moment, a police officer rushed toward them. “An elderly couple has lodged a report! They claimed the victim’s characteristics matched their daughter’s! Should I bring them into the forensic laboratory and let them look at the body?”
William nodded. “Bring them in.”
Five minutes later, a female police officer showed up with my parents.
Kevin was startled to see them at first. A look of dissatisfaction soon appeared on his face.

“What are you doing here? Can you please not disrupt the investigation? Once I’ve wrapped up this case, I’ll tell your daughter to
return to you.”
My mom cried while shaking her head. “Kevin, do you know that mothers always share an innate bond with their children? My heart is aching so much! That means something must have happened to my daughter!”
I wailed in anguish from behind, yet there was nothing I could do. At that moment, I hoped that the truth would never come to light. I’d prefer it if my parents could live out their lives hoping that I’d return to them someday.
Kevin couldn’t convince my parents to leave, so he was forced to take them to the forensic laboratory.
Of course, he refused to believe that I was the dead body in the forensic laboratory. After all, he had personally conducted an autopsy on that body. He merely thought that I had chosen to go into hiding because I was throwing a tantrum.
The moment my mom saw the body on the surgical table, she fainted on the spot.
My dad could only approach my body while trembling visibly. He took my hand while wailing, “This is my daughter! I’d always recognize her no matter what happened to her!”
Kevin dropped his cigarette when he heard my dad’s exclaims. There were a few police officers crowding at the forensic laboratory’s doorway, so he shoved them away immediately.
“Who did you say this is?” Kevin’s hands began trembling slightly as he stared at my body in disbelief.
My dad just ignored him. All he did was stare at me. “Michelle, how did you become like this?”
The police officers couldn’t bear to see my parents looking like this. They were quick to escort them out of the forensic laboratory.
I wanted to follow them, but I was forced to stay with Kevin.
Kevin’s hands kept trembling the whole time. He stared at my body with bloodshot eyes.
“Michelle? You’re… Michelle? That’s impossible! They must’ve gotten the wrong body! How could this be Michelle? “Michelle wouldn’t have died so early! That can’t be it! Yeah!” Kevin kept murmuring to himself while shaking his head. In the past, I was curious about whether or not Kevin would regret being so mean to me after realizing that I was dead. Watching this scene, however, just made me feel immensely disgusted.
