The icy grip of the morgue sent a shudder coursing through Quinn's body, her breath hitching as the reality of
Valerie's demise in a fire set in.
The haunting imagery of what the once vibrant Valerie must now resemble pervaded her thoughts, refusing to
recede.
Upon reaching the entrance, Quinn's gaze swept over the room, identifying several familiar faces. Among them
was the grieving husband, Valerie's spouse.
A woman's wails echoed the loudest, her tear-streaked face buried in the husband's shoulder. This was Valerie's
biological mother, who had hastened back from another state upon receiving the dreadful news.
The remaining faces belonged to Valerie's in-laws, their distress palpable. Their sorrow was not solely due to
their daughter-in-law's untimely passing, but also the loss of their two grandchildren.
Adjacent to Valerie's body, two smaller figures lay shrouded in white sheets, the outlines of their tiny forms
discernible beneath the stark fabric.No sooner had Wayne stepped inside than the grief-stricken woman lunged
at him, her hands flailing in a frenzy of despair.
"You bastard, Wayne! Return my daughter to me! How could you what kind of father fails to protect his own
child?!"Taken aback by his ex-wife's outburst, Wayne pushed her away, his voice laced with annoyance,
"Enough!"
The woman stumbled, saved from a fall only by her daughter's husband's timely intervention. Her eyes, wide
with disbelief, filled with fresh tears.
"Wayne! Your daughter is dead, and you still shove me? Are you involved in her death?""You murderer, worse
than an animal, not even sparing your own child..."With veins pulsating on his forehead, Wayne glared at her.

here will bring her back to life?"
The husband, in an attempt to diffuse the escalating tension, interjected, "Mom, please, maintain your
composure. The true nature of this tragedy is still unknown, and the real culprit is likely reveling in our misery
from shidden corner.""We shouldn't grant the enemy the satisfaction of witnessing our suffering."
His words brought a fleeting moment of tranquility to the distraught mother, but the image of her daughter's
gruesdeath soon reignited her sobs.Too agitated to further engage with his ex-wife, Wayne approached the
covered bodies, his courage wavering at the prospect of unveiling them.
The woman's voice dripped with icy sarcasm, "What's the matter, Wayne? Can't bear to look at your own
daughter? Your cowardice makes it laughable to think you can apprehend the murderer!"
Stung by her taunt, Wayne gritted his teeth and yanked back the white sheet.
The sight of the lifeless bodies sent a wave of nausea through Quinn, causing her to spin around and seek solace
in Alexander's embrace, unable to stomach the sight. Alexander's arms enveloped her, his gentle pats on her
back offering comfort, his gaze fixed on the charred remains.
The body was a horrific sight, burnt beyond recognition, resembling the blackened crust of a disastrously cooked
pork roast.
