Chapter 156 More Terrifying

Peyton had seen the bodies of deceased relatives before, but they were completely different from the gruesome corpse in front of them.

Even though Peyton had just barely caught a glimpse of Caitlyn’s appearance, she was still so frightened that she kept retching.

Phillip patted Peyton’s back to comfort her. “Are you okay?”

“Sorry,” Peyton said.

“Most people have never seen a dead body, let alone something as terrifying. I can understand,” Phillip said.

“Why aren’t you afraid?” Peyton asked. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have seen a lot, so I am not afraid anymore,” said Phillip calmly, his gaze deep. “Besides, living people are scarier than dead ones in this world.”

Peyton didn’t know what Phillip had experienced. Even though he was only a few years older than her, he seemed to be full of mysteries.

If he had not gone through the hardships, he would never have had such a look in his eyes.

Peyton understood that she was never the only person suffering in this world. She overcame her inner fears and then turned on the flashlight.

“Thelped you with the lighting. You should check it quickly.”

“Um,” Phillip instructed calmly. “Close your eyes. I will take care of the rest of the work.”

Peyton quickly closed his eyes, so as not to delay the progress.

Phillip grabbed Peyton’s wrist and his voice rang in Peyton’s ear, “Offended.”

Phillip led Peyton to the front of the corpse. In the cold room, Peyton felt that his hand was unusually hot.

Peyton heard the rustling sound again, which was probably Phillip taking off the corpse’s pants.

Fortunately, the body was wearing loose pants from the mental hospital. Phillip easily took off the pants from the body.

Although Peyton couldn’t see, her brain could still determine what Phillip was doing through sound.

Peyton held the flashlight high.

“I’m done,” Phillip reminded, “Don’t open your eyes. I’ll put the body back first.”

Peyton couldn’t wait and asked, “What did you find?”

“Caitlyn’s cervix was torn,” Phillip said.

“In general, women who have never given birth have a round–shaped cervix. So, Caitlyn must have indeed given birth to a child,” Peyton said.

“Yes,” Phillip agreed.

Phillip left the room with Peyton. He paid the funeral expenses for Caitlyn and instructed the staff to bury her properly.

“Caitlyn was delayed for so long, and she finally found peace. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, maybe she wouldn’t have died so early,”

Peyton said.

Phillip shook his head. “Not necessarily, I found out that she was constantly injected with banned drugs before her death, which caused her mental state to become chaotic. Even if you hadn’t shown up, she wouldn’t have lived much longer.”

“She said her child was taken away. Who did it? Could it be that her parents took them abroad?” Peyton expressed confusion.

“We cannot draw a conclusion at the moment. However, we have obtained a lot of clues today. I will complete the remaining work. I will take you back first. By the way.”

Phillip took out a cellphone from his pocket. “From now on, use this cellphone to contact me.”

Phillip knew that Nolan could easily access Peyton’s communication records. If Peyton continued to frequently contact Phillip, it was only a matter of time before Nolan discovered it.

“Thank you,” Peyton said.

“You helping the people on the island is the best reward for me,” Phillip said.

Peyton returned to the secret room and left with Eric and Rene.

Eric’s face turned pale, and he was clearly frightened.

Rene was usually very weak, but at this moment he had a calm expression on his face as he came out, supporting Eric. “Those are all fake. Do you really have to be so scared?”

Peyton found the scene amusing when he thought about it. “I didn’t know Eric was so timid.”

“Peyton, you didn’t see just now, Eric got scared and cried, it was so funny,” Rene said.

“Shut up!” Eric said.

Eric and Rene playfully teased each other. The cheerful atmosphere between them helped alleviate Peyton’s sadness caused by Caitlyn’s death.

A car was parked by the roadside. The car window was opened, revealing Nolan’s cold face. “Get in the car.”
