The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter283

Dad's brows knotted even more. He snapped at the doctor, "Show us the way!"

Lying there all by myself in the morgue, I'd been left alone for a week. To keep my body from rotting, I had to be put in a cold room.

The doctor wheeled me out, and there was a thin layer of frost on the white sheet covering me.

"Are you telling me this is Grace?"

Disbelief was etched on Dad's face. After the doctor nodded, he stepped forward and roughly pulled back the sheet from my body.

The moment the sheet was lifted, Dad was stunned.

Mom collapsed onto the floor.

Lucia screamed and threw herself into Antonio's arms, but he didn't catch her.

It was only when they were faced with my death that they reacted like normal people.

But even that didn't last long.

After they knew I was gone for good, Dad started making a fuss at the hospital. Instead of cremating me right away, he tried to use my body to get money out of the hospital.

He said the hospital didn't tell them I had died as soon as they should have, and he blamed the doctors and nurses for not doing their jobs right. He even thought my death wasn't normal and that the hospital had messed up, so they were hiding that I had been dead for seven days.
