Chapter 519 Disfigurement!
Bernard's pupils contracted in surprise as he turned his head to look at Alex, who had been silent for a long time, as if he were 'dead.' Alex finally spoke.
But what did he mean?
Sophie doesn't need to turn herself in? Bernard furrowed his brow, confused by Alex's statement.
Alex slightly raised his head, looking at the 'culprit' Sophie with empty, murderous eyes that could tear someone to pieces.
He took step after step towards Sophie, who was still collapsed on the ground, bent down, grabbed her collar, and lifted her up entirely, saying, "I want her to pay with her life!" he growled, dragging Sophie down the hospital corridor like a dead dog.
Seeing this terrifying side of Alex, Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt a sense of relief. No matter what, she had finally extricated herself!
It was better for Alex to deal with Sophie. That way, there was no evidence left!
Bernard gazed intently as he watched Alex take Sophie away in his irrational state. He understood Alex's hatred for Sophie at this moment, but he couldn't just stand by idly and watch him commit a crime...
Katherine wouldn't have wanted to see Alex dirty his hands, either.
So, Bernard strode after them, intending to persuade Alex not to act impulsively. Matters that the law could handle should not be dealt with by their own hand!
Seeing Bernard and Alex leave, Scarlett finally showed a relaxed smile. Getting rid of Katherine had already made her feel elated, and dealing with that fool Sophie was even better, giving her a sense of relief. Otherwise, she would have been a nuisance!
Alright, now that they were all gone, she could go in and see how miserable Katherine's death was!
Katherine, that bitch, was prettier than her, even without makeup. She couldn't possibly look better than her in death.
Just as she was about to push open the emergency room door, it opened from the inside. A nurse opened the door wider, preparing to move the deceased's body to the morgue with her colleagues.
Seeing Scarlett blocking the door, the nurse was a bit surprised and advised with a frown, "Ma'am, please step aside. We need to move a deceased's body to the morgue so as not to scare you!"
Hearing the word "deceased," Scarlett naturally associated it with Katherine's body. Curious and expectant, she glanced inside and saw a person lying on a movable bed, covered with a white sheet, making it impossible to tell who it was.
Scarlett asked the nurse, "Excuse me, nurse, is the deceased named Katherine?"
The nurse nodded in affirmation and replied, "Yes! Are you a family member of the deceased?"
Scarlett shook her head in denial, "I'm not a family member, but I know the deceased. Can I go with you to pay my respects?"
The nurse said, "Of course, you can if you are a friend of the deceased. But we need to move her to the morgue now; she can't occupy the emergency room and affect the other patients in need of treatment. Do you want to come with us to the morgue? But as a young woman, you might be scared of that place. Why not wait until the family holds a funeral to pay your respects?"
Scarlett insisted, shaking her head, "It's okay, I'm not afraid! The deceased was really important to me, and I want to spend this last moment with her, if that's alright?"
Seeing Scarlett's sincere and brave expression, the nurse felt moved. Thinking she was a good friend of the deceased, the nurse couldn't bear to refuse, "Alright, if you're not afraid, come with us!"
Then, the emergency room door opened wide, and several nurses pushed Katherine's body out. Scarlett followed them to the morgue.
The morgue.
It was very cold, with the air conditioning set low to prevent the bodies from decaying.
After placing Katherine in her spot, the nurses had to leave to attend to other work.
Before leaving, the nurse who had spoken to Scarlett said, "Miss, I understand your feelings, but as a young woman, it's best not to stay here too long. Say a few words to the deceased and then leave, okay?"
Scarlett nodded in understanding, then reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
The nurse added, "And don't lift the sheet covering the deceased. Since she died in a car accident, her appearance is quite gruesome, and most people can't handle it. Just stay by her side and wait until the mortician has cleaned her up to see her."
Scarlett secretly laughed deep down inside but put on a sorrowful expression and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Then, the nurses left the morgue together, leaving Scarlett alone.
As soon as they left, Scarlett lifted the sheet covering Katherine's face, revealing a bloody, mangled face that indeed made one feel nauseous.
However, Scarlett suddenly burst into laughter,
She said mockingly, "Hahaha... Katherine, who would have thought you'd end up like this? You finally can't breathe in front of me anymore! Was your face hit by the car? I almost wish you weren't dead! If you were still alive, with such a disfigured face, I'm curious to see if Alex would still like you!"
Scarlett continued, "I bet he wouldn't like you anymore. He might even throw up at the sight of you! Men are visual creatures after all! He only liked you before just because you were pretty! What a pity. Why did you have to die so easily? I feel a bit unsatisfied with your death!"
She added, "Dying like this, at the peak of Alex's love for you, you must feel very happy, right? But what if you had survived, just ended up disfigured and miscarried, you probably would have experienced Alex's disgust, neglect, and abandonment gradually! Just thinking about it makes me feel so good! Katherine, what a pity!."
Scarlett, alone in the morgue full of dead bodies, showed no discomfort or fear, completely unlike the frightened little deer she appeared to be.
Her laughter grew louder and more sinister, and she suddenly stopped to spit on Katherine's mangled face, "Pah! Katherine, do you think you deserve Alex's love? A country bumpkin like you, besides your face, what do you have over me?
"The worst part is, you dared to steal the title of Alex's savior from me, you bitch! Do you think that by stealing that title from me, you could be with Alex forever? Dream on! Alex is mine! In the future, I'll be the one living with Alex, having his children and we will be growing old together! Now, let's see how you can compete with me! Bitch!"
