Natalie murmured in response. She was not surprised to hear that.

Actually, she already guessed it would be so.

Patients who died in the hospital were not allowed to stay in the wards for too long. They had to be transferred to the morgue.

Hence, when she saw the already cleaned-out room, she knew where Harrison had been moved there.
