Chapter 213 Cremation
As soon as Emily came out, she received a call from Zoe.
"Emily, where are you?"
Emily replied, "Zoe, I'm out shopping. What's up?"
"Hurry to the hospital! Seb went to the morgue again!"
Emily frowned."Okay, Zoe. Don't worry. I'll be there right away."
After hanging up, Emily headed straight to the hospital morgue.
As she reached the entrance, she saw several cars driving past.
The cars in front were all from the Jose family.
The last car, however, was Seb's.
The window was half-open, and Emily saw that Jack was driving.
Without thinking much, she quickly turned around and followed them.
The convoy drove all the way to the funeral home.
The Jose family members got out one by one, and Jack helped Seb out, following the others inside.
Emily quickly parked her car and walked in the same direction.
Inside, she saw the Jose family members circling a flower bed in mourning.
In the center, surrounded by flowers, was the charred body that had been in the hospital morgue for over half a month.
Emily was stunned. Was this a memorial service?
Were they going to cremate the body?
But Nina hadn't wanted to cremate it, right?
Why the sudden change?
Before Emily could finish her thought, she saw Jack helping Seb walk over.
At that moment, a funeral home staff member came over and moved the charred body onto a stretcher, seemingly to take it to the crematorium.
"Bella, Bella!" Seb's voice echoed in the empty hall, each cry filled with immense sorrow.
Jack helped him over, and Seb staggered and fell onto the charred body.
Seb hugged the body tightly, his body slightly bent, trembling uncontrollably.
Nina stood watching silently, her eyes vacant, as though her spirit had reached the pinnacle of desolation, without shedding a single tear.
The men from the Jose family remained relatively calm.
Margaret and Kelsey were crying bitterly. But they only wiped their tears silently without making a sound, perhaps to avoid making Seb more upset.
Next to Zaire stood a woman in black.
Emily had seen her once before, her name seemed to be Miley, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
Zaire raised a hand, putting it around Miley's shoulder, silently comforting her.
The entire hall was silent, filled with an overwhelming atmosphere of sorrow.
It wasn't until Seb said his final goodbye to the charred body that Jack and Zaire came over to pull him away.
The staff pushed the stretcher toward the crematorium.
"Bella!" Seb's hoarse voice erupted as he suddenly broke free from Zaire and Jack's grip, aimlessly rushing forward.
Unfortunately, he stumbled and hit his forehead directly on the corner of the stretcher with a loud bang.
The sound made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
"Mr. Landon!" Jack's voice trembled.
Everyone watched the scene, frozen in shock.
"Bella." Seb, with blood streaming from his head, propped himself up and climbed onto the stretcher.
In front of everyone, he hugged the charred body as if it were the most precious thing in the world, handling it with extreme care.
"Mr. Landon."
His back was to Emily, so she couldn't see Seb's expression, but she heard him say slowly, "I want to go with Bella. Please burn me with her."
"Mr. Landon!" Jack's eyes widened in disbelief.
Seb slowly closed his eyes.
His figure was resolute, as if he truly intended to turn to ashes with "Isabella."
"Seb!" said an elderly voice, and Zoe, leaning on a cane, walked in shakily.
When she saw the scene in the middle of the hall, she almost lost her breath.
Emily quickly went over to support her. "Zoe."
Zoe walked to the stretcher, tears streaming down her face. "Seb, you can't leave me. "
No matter how much she cried and pleaded, Seb showed no reaction.
Jack said, "Mr. Landon seems to have fainted."
Zoe was startled and quickly said, "Hurry, take Seb back!"
"Yes, Mrs. Landon." Jack didn't dare delay and quickly carried Seb out.
Zoe bowed three times to "Isabella" and said to the charred body, "Bella, I'll apologize to you in person when I join you. Rest in peace."
Emily also bowed slightly, but her mind was preoccupied with another matter.
She supported Zoe as they walked out. At the door, Emily suddenly looked back.
The room was still filled with sorrow, with no sign of anything unusual.
In the car, Zoe asked Jack to drive home.
Zoe was overcome with emotion when she thought about the charred body, and she couldn't control herself and cried all the way home.
"Emily, if it weren't for your timely intervention, Seb would have been lost to us."Zoe said.
Emily shook her head. "Zoe, I just didn't want Seb to act impulsively and do something he'd regret."
Emily had seen it clearly. If Zoe hadn't come, no one in the Jose family would have stopped Seb from following through with his plan.
Fortunately, Emily had sensed something was wrong and notified Zoe in time. Otherwise, Luke might not have listened to her in that situation.
Zoe had arrived just in time, and the whole incident ended without any major mishaps.
But for some reason, Emily still felt something was off.
She thought about it carefully but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Inside the funeral home.
Nina looked away as the charred body was pushed into the crematorium.
Even though she knew it wasn't Isabella, it was still two lives.
Who knew how heartless the Landon family had become to find someone else to take the fall!
Those had been two living lives!
Nina couldn't bear it.
She turned to Zaire and asked, "Why was Seb here?"
This wasn't part of their plan.
Richard had said that they could only make Charles lower his guard by cremating the body .
Otherwise, Isabella might remain hidden.
Nina also thought it was time to let the person rest in peace.
So, after the police collected evidence from the body, she agreed to cremate it.
Nina didn't inform Seb.
Whether the body was Isabella's or not, she wouldn't inform Seb.
It wasn't necessary.
But Seb still came.
This puzzled Nina. After she thought it over, she realized that the only person who could have informed Seb was Zaire.
Zaire didn't hide it and said, "I told him."
Nina frowned. "Did you tell him about the car accident too?"
Remembering Seb's instructions, Zaire shook his head. "No."
Nina nodded. "This is about my family. He doesn't need to know!"
Zaire hesitated but still wanted to speak for Seb, "Nina, about that night..."
Before he could finish, Nina suddenly walked toward the door.
