Jared stood beside her and said, “Once I hung up the call with you, the hospital staff took him to the morgue.”

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.

“Did he say anything before he passed?” Shane asked as he leaned against the wall and cocked his head toward Jared.

Jared nodded. “Yeah. He said he hopes that we can bury him next to Mom.”

“What?” Natalie frowned. “Next to Mom? Is he out of his mind? He didn't want her when he was alive. Why bother trying to get her back now that he's dead?”

Shane agreed that it was a very brazen request for Harrison to make.
