Female Novel
Chapter 242
Finding it a little odd, she got closer to the room slowly. Even though there was really nobody there,she could smell something.novelbin
It was the smell of people!
More specifically, it was the smell of dead people.
Whisking out her torchlight, she began looking for the source of the smell, and she finally saw thetiny figure on the floor.
Rooted to the spot, Selena felt the hairs on her body standing upright. That’s definitely not Jamie. Itcan’t be him!
She didn’t have the courage to walk over. No, she really couldn’t bring herself to. So there shestood, on the same spot for a very long time, as though her feet were nailed to the ground andunable to move.
Even though she tried her best to remain calm and control herself, she still felt her blood flowingbackward and a shiver down her spine when she looked at that tiny figure.
No, that’s definitely not Jamie, even if he’s wearing the exact same clothes and still wearing the bluecap he swapped with Jojo.
Still, she couldn’t see his face as the head was turned away from her.
Honestly, she really wanted to turn around and leave, but she knew that she shouldn’t deceiveherself and pretend that she didn’t see anything; she had to make sure if that figure was reallyJameson.
Earlier, the infrared monitor had shown that there was no one in here, so this had to be a bodywhich had already lost its body temperature, breathing, and heartbeat. That was why she was soterrified that the person lying there would be Jameson.
Finally, Selena mustered enough courage to walk toward the tiny body, trembling with every stepshe took.
Please don’t let it be him. This is only a decoy used by the kidnapper. Yes, that must be it. Jamie isstill alive, she told herself repeatedly.
When she finally reached the body, she reached out her hands, and saw that both her arms weretrembling. Gritting her teeth, she flipped the body over. The moment she saw the face, she fell onher butt, terrified!
Just then, the room suddenly lit up, and many people rushed in—with John leading the pack!
Startled at his sudden appearance, Selena stumbled to the floor at a loss.
Almost immediately, John had also seen the small body, whose face was disfigured; nobody couldtell who it was.
“No, that’s not him. That’s definitely not him!” Selena muttered, unsure if she was saying it to Johnor herself as consolation.
“Bring this body back for a DNA test, and also her!” John ordered and left briskly, praying in silencethat this wasn’t Jameson.
Selena was brought to the basement of the Fowler Residence because her actions were toosuspicious and John had no other options but to do it this way. However, she had yet to recoverfrom the shock of discovering the body, and she kept thinking the whole time that that body wasdefinitely not Jameson.
Meanwhile, John was waiting for the results of the test restlessly and couldn’t sleep a wink thewhole night. As he paced around the room, Helen didn’t dare to go to bed by herself and could onlystay by his side the whole time. Every now and then, she would check on him if he needed a drinkor some food.
“You can’t go on like this. Drink some water and take care of your body,” she said as she handedhim a glass of water.
But John merely took a sip because he only wanted to calm himself down.
“It’s exhausting for you to keep waiting like this. Why don’t you question Selena first about herpurpose for going to that place in the middle of the night?” Helen suggested. Suddenly, a thoughtcame into her mind, and she blurted, “Was she planning to dispose of the body before anyonediscovers it?”
