Buried Love Series Ashes of Regret (Sophia and Ryan)

BOOK6 Chapter3

Michael chuckled. "Don't worry, love. When I get home, I'll give that little troublemaker a good talking to for making my baby uncomfortable." Rachel giggled, "Mmhmm!"

They flirted, right in front of my corpse, as if they were the perfect family.

I couldn't believe it. Rachel Green had actually married Michael after killing me!

And now they even had a child together...

After hanging up, Michael's face was still softened with tenderness, so much so that even the intern couldn't resist teasing him. "Dr. Hayes, I didn't expect you and your wife to be so in love after all these years!"

Michael paused, a shadow crossing his face before he explained.

"She's my second wife, not my first."

"We've only recently gotten married. She loves me deeply, and I'm

"Dr. Hayes! You... you need to see this!"

"The victim's n's child... it was stuffed inside her own stomach!"

"Preliminary analysis suggests it was forced in through that incision in the lower right abdomen."

Michael

"This is beyond cruel!"

"It

really i is! !Absolutely barbaric!"

"No doubt about it."

Michael donned his gloves once more, examining my body with a steady hand.

"Initial assessment: the perpetrator was swift and ruthless, delivering

each

strike with deadly precision and without hesitation."

The intern immediately understood what Michael Hayes was implying.

"Dr. Hayes, do you mean...?"

"The perpetrator likely had a strong knowledge of human anatomy."

"Exactly."

"The killer is probably a professional, either a medical examiner or a healthcare worker. This is crucial-make sure to note it down and pass to the police."
