Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Corpse Mutation

Peyton followed Phillip and sneaked out through the back door, she deliberately changed her outfit.

What amazed her was that Phillip’s disguise technique was very impressive. He simply applied some things to her face and easily transformed her features.

After applying a layer of dark powder on her face, Peyton instantly aged more than ten years.

Phillip, like her, became a middle–aged man. Outsiders could not -recognize his original appearance at all.

They went to Fellony Psychiatric Hospital again. Peyton pretended to be Caitlyn’s distant relative and found the director, while Phillip did not show up and directly climbed over the iron–like mesh fence.

Peyton was dumbfounded. Even if the barbed wire was not electrified, it was covered with spikes. How did Phillip manage to do it?

They split into two groups. Peyton explained the purpose and the dean who received her showed a hint of regret on his face.

“Caitlyn was so pitiful. She had been brought in here for so long, but her parents never came to visit her even once. Her body remained unclaimed until now.”

Peyton thought that Caitlyn’s body had already been cremated, but she was surprised to find out that it was still being kept at the funeral home.

The young face of Caitlyn appeared in her mind. Some people are

pitiful when they are alive, but it is even more tragic when they are dead.

“Dean, don’t worry. I will bring her back and give her a proper burial. Her parents are abroad, so it would be troublesome for them to come back. I will take care of her affairs. Are her belongings still here?”

“Okay. I have collected all her old belongings. Come with me.”

Peyton stopped by the same ward as last time. “Can I go in and take a look?”

“Go ahead. After Caitlyn died, the other patients were all sent away, and this room became empty.”

Peyton pushed open the door, and the furnishings in the ward appeared even more desolate than before. Apart from the bed and the cabinet, there was nothing else in the room, and the walls were painted a dismal white.

The sunlight streamed in through the window, and dust danced in the air.

The cold and empty room mirrored Caitlyn’s desolate life.

“Caitlyn was really pitiful. She excelled in school, and we were counting on her to bring honor to our family. Who would have known she would have such an ending.”

The dean agreed and said, “Who says she isn’t? She was such a beautiful little girl.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dean, has no one else visited her besides us?”

“Even her family has never visited, let alone anyone else. Oh, I remember seeing a boy around her age come over once before. However, his presence immediately triggered Caitlyn’s emotions and

she went crazy. After that, I never saw him come again.”

Peyton’s face immediately changed when he heard this. “A boy?”

“He was quite tall, with slightly dark skin, looking like a college student.”

“Dean, can the visitor records be checked?”

“Sure. But why are you looking at this?” The dean scrutinized Peyton suspiciously.

Peyton sighed again. “At this point, I don’t even care if you laugh at me, Dean. The reason why my unfortunate niece went insane is because she was deceived and forced to drop out of school after getting prégnant. I want to find out who exactly made her like this. Ier parents didn’t love her, but I always did since she was little. If it

weren’t for me being abroad recently and unable to come back, I would have buried her long ago.”

“Alright then. I will check it for you.”

The dean quickly found the name of the boy, Emanuel Crowe, from the visitor’s log.

He handed Caitlyn’s old belongings to Peyton. Peyton expressed his gratitude.

“It’s just a small favor, no need to thank me. Caitlyn has had a complete life.” The dean waved his hand.

Peyton continued to ask, “I heard that Caitlyn’s attending physician was taking care of her while she was alive. I would like to thank that doctor in person.‘

“No need. Dr. Yoder has already resigned.”

Peyton pretended to be surprised. “Really? That’s a shame. I heard she was a very good doctor.”

“Dr. Yoder was indeed a good doctor, and she took care of Caitlyn quite well over the past two years. It seems that she resigned probably because she couldn’t accept Caitlyn’s sudden death. However, it

was her choice, and we can only respect it.”

Peyton asked many, many questions again before saying goodbye to the dean and leaving directly for the funeral home to collect Caitlyn’s body.

As soon as they heard that she was here to collect the body, the staff reminded, “She died by jumping off a building. Since her relatives did not pay for the funeral expenses, she was brought here and placed in the freezer without even the basic corpse beautification. Two months have passed, so you should be mentally prepared for decomposition.”

The staff led Peyton to the room where the bodies were stored and casually explained, “Most of these are unclaimed bodies. After a while, if no one claims them, we dispose of them ourselves. You’re in luck, Caitlyn’s body is still here.”

He stopped and pointed to the morgue behind him. “She is here. Do you want to say your final goodbyes? If not, I will have her cremated directly.”
