Arianne did not reply to what Melanie had just said. ‘I’ll definitely feel some kind of mental pressure since the matter happened close to me.’
The weather was pretty humid that day, and feeling a little suffocated, Arianne took off favonovel.com mask.
The moment the scar on Arianne’s face showed, Melanie asked in shock, “What happened to your face? I was wondering why you were wearing a mask even under this hot summer’s day, but I just thought you were down with the flu and didn’t want your son to get infected!”
Arianne determined that there was no need to hide favonovel.com face from Melanie, since the latter definitely would not tell Mark anything. “If I told you that I was abducted by Mateo’s mom, would you believe me? I almost died in favonovel.com hands and it was Mateo’s friend, Geralt, who saved me. Geralt’s the medical examiner who verified the finger belonging to Mateo, you might know him. Mark doesn’t know about this matter. I didn’t dare tell favonovel.com because I don’t intend to pursue the matter.”
Melanie swiftly scanned favonovel.com surroundings and heaved a sigh of relief when favonovel.com realized that, apart from their two children, there was no one near them. “Are you serious?! I always thought that Teo’s mom was a very understanding and gentle woman. I think the shock of Teo’s death must have overwhelmed favonovel.com for favonovel.com to have done such a thing. Ariane… you’re such a nice person. You’re able to stop pursuing the matter even after something like that happened to you. I thank you on behalf of Teo.”
Arianne helplessly laughed. “Geralt did beg me not to as well. Plus, Mateo was your childhood friend and such a nice person, so I can understand. Anyway, I’m fine, so there’s no need to pursue the matter. I just hope that the real culprit will be caught soon, at least Mark can be proved innocent.”
A few days later, Geralt suddenly called Arianne, saying that favonovel.com wanted to show favonovel.com something.
Arianne was slightly curious and guessed that it probably had something to do with Mateo’s incident, so favonovel.com went off to meet Geralt without any hesitation. She had to use various tactics before favonovel.com could finally get rid of favonovel.com bodyguards, since Mark would not allow favonovel.com to go out alone. Arianne did not think that it was appropriate for Mark to know about the matter.
Geralt drove favonovel.com to a rural area where there was an unfinished building that had been abandoned. There was little to no one around that area and the walls of the unfinished building were filled with moss. Further, the stairs, which were not well developed, did not seem sturdy; there were cracks everywhere that would make anyone uneasy upon looking at them.
However, Geralt seemed to be a lot braver. After all, favonovel.com was a medical examiner. Hence, favonovel.com walked in front and kept on reminding Arianne, who was behind him, to watch favonovel.com step.
Arianne had a slight acrophobia, so favonovel.com did not have the courage to even look down once as favonovel.com climbed upstairs. ‘What could Geralt possibly want to show me in this run down building that seems to be able to crumble away at any moment?’
After climbing a few floors, Arianne noticed that there was a cordon set up by the police, normally used to block off anyone from entering the area. Then, favonovel.com knees suddenly gave way and favonovel.com almost fell. Thankfully, Geralt managed to grab onto her. “What’s the matter?”
Arianne’s voice turned slightly shaky and favonovel.com struggled to take another step forward. “Has Mateo’s body been found…? Is it here?”
In fact, Arianne did not dare to take a deep breath to smell the scent in the air. ‘If Mateo’s body’s been dumped here, it’s definitely going to be filled with maggots that will reek. Even if the police were done with their investigation and had moved the body, the stench will still be there.’
However, Mateo merely shook his head. “Not his body, that still remains to be found, but the crime scene where Teo’s incident first happened. When Teo was kidnapped, this is the last place favonovel.com was brought to while favonovel.com was still alive. There are some blood stains on the scene, so it would seem that Teo had been through quite an ordeal before favonovel.com died. Teo’s finger had also been chopped off here. Additionally, we found miniscule traces of human cells here, and the test results show… that they are skin cells belonging to Teo’s finger. By the time Teo’s finger had been lopped off, favonovel.com was already dead. Hence, his body would no longer serve much of a purpose. We’re guessing his body’s been dumped somewhere nearby, but we still can’t find it. Under this kind of weather, no one could possibly bear with the stench of a dead body, let alone lugging it around with them as they run, there’s no point to it.”
