Chapter 12
The police officers were extremely frustrated, so they called each of them again, sent messages and photos, and then could only leave the rest to fate.
If no one came to claim her, Hannah might have been cremated directly.
“Alas, it’s really pitiful. She had parents and a husband, but no one was willing to claim her body. I wonder what her family is thinking. Why don’t they believe it no matter how many times it’s explained?”
The police officer sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing the text message and photos, Shawn’s face turned as dark as ink, and he almost crushed the phone in his hand. Hannah lay there silently, just one glance was enough to be somewhat alarming.
Even if he didn’t believe it, the fact was already glaringly obvious.
Shawn gritted his teeth fiercely, with a mixture of bitterness and panic swirling in his heart.
“Hannah, is playing dead your new trick? Do you think that by playing dead once, I will forget our grievances and forgive you? Just wait! I will expose your true colors! You better keep playing dead like this!”
He was filled with anger and told the driver to drive to the Northside police station.
At the same time, Noah and Jasmin also saw those messages and photos.
Their hearts were also filled with indescribable panic, feeling only waves of darkness in front of their eyes.
“No, it’s impossible! Hannah couldn’t have been hurt, she must be faking it! She must be!”
Noah and Jasmin repeatedly convinced themselves, but still, they drove to the police station at the fastest speed.
Shawn, Noah, and Jasmin arrived almost simultaneously.
After the police confirmed their identities, they led them to the morgue.
Under the white cloth, Hannah’s face was gray and lifeless, with no sound, no movement in her body, never to have a heartbeat or breath again.
My whole body felt icy cold, so stiff that it was like I had been coated with a layer of ice.
The moment they saw the whole picture clearly, Noah and Jasmin’s legs went weak instantly. They collapsed on the ground, their eyes rolling back, on the verge of passing out from the overwhelming shock.
The police quickly assisted in first aid, barely managing to make them regain consciousness, and then helped them to sit aside and rest.

Chapter 12
“Uncle and aunt, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life.”
Noah and Jasmin were devastated, crying out in despair. “Why is God so cruel, taking away one of our children isn’t enough? Why take another one now?”
“You give us back our child! Give us back Hannah!”
They could no longer be comforted, collapsing and hitting the police officers, almost passing out.
The police officers had extremely unpleasant expressions on their faces, busy consoling, but couldn’t help muttering in their hearts: just now when they called, they didn’t seem to care much about the child, so why are they now so up- set and distressed?
However, Shawn stood beside Hannah, his eyes downcast, silent and not saying a word.
He never imagined that one day Hannah, who had always been at odds with him, would die.
In the past, he always thought that they would continue to torment each other forever, never giving up, no one would feel good, and no one would be able to find happiness.
But now, Hannah is really dead. The words she said half a month ago, about resolving all grievances, have come true.
It wasn’t until now that Shawn realized how clumsy her lies had been over the past half month.
Countless times he almost discovered her illness, but she stubbornly kept silent, forcing herself to hide everything and endure all the pain alone.
Although Hannah had already died, and the grievances should have been resolved, there was not a hint of relief in his heart. Instead, pain and sadness almost engulfed him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
She died, it was a done deal, leaving behind only those who endured countless pain.
