Chapter 62 Claiming a Body

Caroline spun around and found the phone.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, a frown involuntarily creased her

forehead.

Who was it calling her in the middle of the night?

Compelled by curiosity, she shrugged off the blanket and quietly slipped out of the room to

answer the call. With bated breath, she awaited the caller’s introduction.

Caroline’s mind went blank, a wave of disbelief crashing over her.

“Bradley… he’s dead?” she murmured in disbelief.

Slowly, Caroline lowered the phone, her eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of shock.

Despite harboring resentment toward Bradley, she couldn’t deny the hardships he endured while

After a while, Caroline emerged from the room, her expression devoid of emotion. She approached Evan and spoke with a detached tone, Thank you for driving me here.”

Narrowing his eyes, Evan stared at her intently. The extreme calmness in her eyes cast a somber

shadow over his own.

“Caroline…” Evan called out to heri

“Thank you. You can leave now,” Caroline interrupted, her lips pursed. “I can handle it.”

Evan fell silent, his gaze fixed on her for a moment before he turned around and departed.

A funeral home car arrived promptly Caroline joined them, and together they headed to the

crematorium. 1

With no friends or relatives to bid him farewell, Bradley’s funeral was simple and understated.

While waiting for the cremation to conclude, Caroline reached out to the cemetery.

Once the cremation was over, Caroline received Bradley’s ashes and proceeded to the cemetery for

his burial.
