After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 123

A few days later, Nolan set out alone for Tibet.

His assistant, worried about him, followed.

Throughout the journey, Nolan remained unnaturally calm. He sat by the airplane window, gazing at the endless clouds below, his eyes hollow and empty.

Upon reaching Tibet, Nolan headed straight for the site of Aurelia's sky burial. The burial platform stood on a desolate hillside, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the air heavy with solemnity. Nolan stood before the platform, his eyes fixed on the remaining traces, his voice low"What was it like... when it happened?" The assistant stood behind him, hesitation in his voice "Sir, are you sure you want to hear this?"

Nolan's gaze remained on the platform, his voice steady "Tell me."

The assistant took a deep breath and began slowly "That day, following the ritual, the burial master cut along Miss Thorne's spine, dismembered her body, and crushed her bones with stones... The vultures came quickly. They consumed her organs first, then the bones, finally the flesh. The whole process was... swift and complete. The burial master said Miss Thorne's soul was pure and would surely ascend to heaven."

A flicker of something like a smile crossed Nolan's eyes, his voice barely audible "So she truly left me nothing"
