Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 664 664





Vernon's car entered the parking lot. He was driving around the mostly empty parking lot for a while until he noticed one black car with four guys in suits standing outside. They didn't seem to be bothered by the cold. 

He parked his car right next to them and slid the window down. One of the men in black approached Vernon and reported, "Sir, everything is clear. The hospital is quiet and mostly empty right now because it's snowing and it's early in the morning."

"Good," Vernon nodded. "I will be waiting here, escorting my wife and daughter, surrounding them and making sure that nobody is able to touch them."

"Understood, Sir."

Vernon turned his head towards Chloe and Mackie and said, "These four men will escort you to meet Judith. They are highly trained professionals, so you don't need to worry about your safety, alright?"

Mackie was still clueless about this whole thing, and she asked, "How about you, Uncle? Are you coming with us?"

"I will be waiting here, don't worry, I'll keep myself updated," Vernon said. "I am always ready to save you two."

"Okay then, we won't take long," Chloe said. She left the car first and then opened the door on the backseat. "Come on, Dear. We're going to visit Gran now."

Mackie was still confused about the whole setup. Why did they need to be surrounded by four big men when they were just visiting Gran?

But she swallowed that question and obediently hopped out of the car. She held Mommy's hand. As soon as they walked through the snowy parking lot, those four burly men quickly surrounded them, forming a barrier so nobody could touch Chloe and Mackie. 

As they entered the hospital entrance, Chloe tightened her grip on her daughter's hand. Chloe registered herself at the front desk and said, "My name is Chloe, I'm here to see my mother's body."

The front desk naturally understood the identity of this woman. She was the hidden wife of Vernon Phoenix Gray, the popular young CEO, as it had been confirmed by Mr. Phoenix Gray's secretary yesterday. She nodded and said, "You can turn right, exit the corridor, and continue straight, the morgue is at the end, Ma'am."

"Thank you," Chloe and Mackie walked through the corridor surrounded by four bodyguards. The hospital was especially empty right now. No nurse other than the one in the front office walked around the corridor, it could be because of the heavy snow outside, and it was still very early in the morning. 

The little girl sensed her Mommy's tenseness based on how strongly she gripped Mackie's hand. She looked up and asked, "Mommy, are you okay?"

"Ah—mhm, Mommy is okay, dear," Chloe forced a smile. "I'm just a bit… scared."

"Don't be scared, Mommy. I'm here to protect you," Mackie said. "You are safe with me."

Chloe couldn't force a smile anymore. She couldn't imagine the sadness that would hit Mackie when she knew the truth.

But they were already here, and there was no turning back.

As they walked through the open corridor, Chloe noticed a sign on top of a door at the end of the corridor. 

'Morgue.'

Chloe's feet began to get heavy as she approached the morgue. Her body began to tremble when one of the bodyguards opened the morgue door, giving an entrance to Chloe and Mackie.

Mackie peeked at the inside of the room. She thought she'd be greeted by the sight of her Gran on a hospital bed.

But all she saw were metal boxes stacked on top of one another.

The bodyguard talked to the old lady inside for a while and then returned to Chloe, "All clear, Ma'am, we can go in."

Chloe and Mackie stepped inside the morgue. The four bodyguards were lining behind her as she talked to an old lady inside.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "My name is Meredith, Ma'am," an old lady with a very hoarse voice introduced herself. She was wearing all white, a sterile bouffant cap covering her hair, and a mask covering half of her face, so Chloe couldn't identify the woman. "I'm in charge of cleaning the morgue everyday. My supervisor told me that you will be visiting early in the morning."

Chloe was a bit disturbed by this old lady. Somehow, she had a bad feeling about her, but Chloe simply wanted to make things fast right now, so she asked, "Where is my late mother?"

The old woman glanced at a corpse inside a black body bag on top of a long body tray, "I've cleaned her, but it's best not to check more than half of her body, especially now that you brought your little girl here. It might traumatize her,' Meredith said.

Chloe stared at the body tray. She had no intention of showing Mackie the corpse of her Gran. She just wanted to tell Mackie that they were in a morgue, and that meant her Gran already passed away. 

Chloe also noticed six body bags lined on the floor near her mother's body tray. She asked Meredith about it first, "What happened to them?" 

"Oh, don't mind them, Ma'am. Those are deceased men, they're unrelated to yours," Meredith replied. "You can check your mother's body first, Ma'am. I will be waiting at the corner."

Chloe saw Meredith slowly walking to the corner of the morgue, giving Chloe a way to approach Judith's corpse.

She took a deep breath and clenched Mackie's hand tighter than before. 

She walked towards the body tray and slowly unzipped the body bag. 

She gasped when she unzipped until neck length. Just the sight of her mother's cold and pale face was enough to make her weak. Her face paled instantly, her knees gave up on her, and she almost fainted on the spot.

"Ma'am!" 

One of the bodyguards helped to prop Chloe before she fainted. Chloe's consciousness was floating away. She thought she was ready to see her mother's cold corpse.

However, her consciousness returned to her body when she could feel a pair of small hands holding her arm and asked worriedly, "Mommy, are you okay? What's wrong with Gran?"
