A Crazy Night Novel

“Camila, Lucas, be good. I promise I’ll bring your mommy home.” Nathaniel urged his children to stay with their grandparents a little longer.

Reluctantly, Camila and Lucas followed Julia’s lead and left.

Just then, Francis entered with a somber expression.

As if he could read minds, one look was enough for Nathaniel to tell the heartbreaking news that Francis carried.

Without wasting a moment. Nathaniel rushed toward the beach. The rescue team had covered the lifeless female body they had just recovered with a white cloth.

As Nathaniel approached, the team made way for him.

Though each breath felt heavy, he pressed forward until he stood before the shrouded figure.

Just as he reached out to lift the white cloth, the team leader intervened, “Mr. Hadley…”

The team leader couldn’t bear to let Nathaniel see the disfigured state of the body as the wildlife had gotten to it first.

However, Nathaniel disregarded the team leader’s intervention and proceeded to lift the white cloth.

The scent of decay filled the air as the corpse, soaked in water for an extended period, emitted a pungent odor. Its disfigured state made everyone feel uneasy, and even the seasoned members of the rescue team couldn’t help but retch.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel remained resolute, furrowing his brows as he carefully examined the body.

The height and weight matched. Even the dress’ color and design appeared identical.

“It’s not her…” After a prolonged silence, Nathaniel gently lowered the cloth and made his announcement.

Everyone fell into stunned silence.

“Mr. Hadley, we understand your grief, but advanced technology will be needed to determine her identity.” The truth was that DNA testing was necessary due to the extent of disfigurement, rendering. traditional identification methods impossible.

Besides, everyone could understand Nathaniel’s state of desperation and denial.
