Chapter 673 Do Not Want To Pressure You

Secing Lysander in that state, Carol grew fearful. She stopped her, saying, “Please wait here, Mrs. Guerra. I’ll go instead.”

Lysander looked at her with immense confusion and said, “It’s fine. I’ll go.”

“No, you can’t,” Carol insisted as she grew increasingly worried. “You’re already exhausted and can’t handle any more stress. Besides, if it really is… I can identify him.”

She then turned to the police officer and said, “I’m Mr. Guerra’s secretary and have worked with him for many years. It serves the same function if I go.”

The police officer had no objections to her offer. “Sure, come with me.”

However, Lysander abruptly reached out to hold onto Carol. “Ms. Collins, let’s go together. If I don’t g today. I might regret it for the rest of my life. I’ve already… lost too many people.”

For no reason, she recalled the words Josiah said in the mountains near the spa resort.

One by one. My child and my father have left me. Indeed, no one in this world can accompany me forever. If Josiah

also….

Her words made Carol hesitate, a rare occurrence. As their standoff continued, the forensic doctor returned from the other end. Upon seeing his colleague, he promptly gestured with his hand.

“There’s no need to call anyone for identification. This body couldn’t possibly belong to the person who went missing last night. It’s decomposed to the point that only a skeleton is left, suggesting it must’ve been submerged for at least a month or two to reach this state. However, we’ll need to return to the station to verify the actual time of death.”

The forensic doctor’s words brought Lysander out of her depressing thoughts, saving her from the brink of a mental breakdown.

Carol was instantly thrilled. “It’s not him! Mrs. Guerra, did you hear that? It isn’t him!”

Lysander felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body her heart suspended in fear finally settled back in place.

If the body in the lake isn’t Josiah, then where is he?

Lysander’s heart filled with apprehension again.

Carol breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ll go and ask around, see if there are any other leads.”

“Okay. Thank you for the hard work.”
