Tears rolled down Marina’s face profusely.
She took a glance at the corpse and looked away immediately.
Marina covered her mouth with her hand, but she could not stop the tears.
“That can’t be Lambert.”
“It can’t be Lambert!” Marina was sobbing and choking with tears.
Simon did not respond.
They had already done plenty of tests to identify the identity.
And the result was always the same.
Marina was aware of that, too.
But Marina could not accept the truth at that moment.
There was no way Marina could come to terms with that.
The Bailey family possessed good genes, and everyone in the family was good–looking.
Lambert was the most gorgeous in the entire Bailey family.
Most importantly, he was also a narcissistic person.
Her grandfather once told Marina that Lambert already had a great sense of fashion when he was in kindergarten.
At one point, he mistakenly used the hair removal ointment as a hair–setting spray and applied it to his head.
As a result, Lambert lost a lot of hair.
There were bald spots all over his tiny body.
After that, he never went to school again.
He waited until his hair started to grow before returning to school.
Because of that incident, Lambert had always been self–conscious of his hairstyle, even as an adult.
Each time before he left the house, he would stand before the mirror and play with his hair for half a day.
Sometimes, Marina would get impatient from waiting for him.
He was a person who loved to look beautiful and cared about his image.
How did he become looking like this?
His body was extremely swollen.
His face was completely deformed.
It was probably due to the old wound on his face.
He was submerged in seawater for so long, and the wound had become badly inflamed and swollen.
His stomach was also bulging as if it would explode at any moment.
More importantly, his skin was pale and bruised.
It made one’s heart wrenched.
Marina was a doctor. She was used to seeing broken and severed corpses.
However, no matter how bloody the scene was, she could still handle the situation calmly.
At times, Marina would also encounter helpless patients.
Although she sympathized with them, there was nothing she could do but lament that God was unpredictable.
That was because those things did not happen to anyone close to her.
But now she finally understood. She could relate to the family members of the sick and empathized with them. She knew how they felt as they broke down while waiting anxiously outside the operating theater for their loved ones.
Marina could not even bear to look at Lambert now.
“You can put him back now,” Simon ordered Gavin straightaway.
He was afraid Marina would crumble under the distress.

Gavin immediately got the staff to push the corpse back.
Marina only took a deep breath when the door of the mortuary cabinet finally closed.
“Help me keep an eye on him,” Marina instructed Gavin before turning around and leaving.
Since Simon and Marina left the funeral parlor, she had not spoken.
Her face was blank and emotionless.
There was only silence.
“Marina.” Simon was still thinking about how to comfort her.
But Marina interrupted him.
“Don’t worry. I won’t break down now. I still have to find Peter. Marina said with determination in her eyes.
She had already lost Lambert. She must not lose Peter too.
“Alright, I’ll be there with you!” Simon squeezed Marina’s hand tightly.
After returning to the hotel, Marina busied herself and became more occupied.
She was only sleeping two hours a day previously.
But now, she barely slept two hours.
She would sit in front of the computer 24 hours a day, searching for news for Peter.
Marina was one of the best hackers in the world.
As long as that person existed, she would be able to discover traces of him, without fail.
And from those traces, she could track their whereabouts.
However, Peter was unlike anything she had done before.
Marina could only find traces of him going to Lauritius.
But ever since Peter disappeared. Marina lost all traces of him.
It was as if he had completely vanished from this world.
Emotionally, Marina was getting more and more tense and unstable.
She felt that her mind was getting distracted by a lot of white noises.
However, since getting together with Simon, her restlessness had been getting better.
Nonetheless, Simon could offer no comfort now.
Marina was in a bad state. She was basically hanging onto a thread.
Simon saw the state of her deterioration, but he could not convince her to stop.
He could only hasten his search.
On this day, Simon finally obtained a useful clue.
He immediately elaborated to Marina excitedly.
“We’ve found someone who might have something to do with Lambert!”
When Marina heard that, her gaze finally tore away from the computer before her to Simon.
“Who is it?” Marina’s voice was extremely hoarse.
“Let me show you.” Simon pulled Marina out of the room.
There were two bodyguards guarding the door of the next room.
As soon as they saw Simon approaching, they immediately opened the door for the two of them.
Simon took Marina’s hand and led her into the room.
Together, they then went into the bedroom.
Once they entered, Marina spotted the decimated figure lying on the big bed.
It was Sharon.
She was the cat girl whom Marina rescued from the underground auction room.
After Marina rescued her, Sharon stuck to Lambert like his shadow.

How is she?” Marina’s eyes lit up with hope as she looked at the person closely knit to Lambert.
“We’ve already gotten a doctor to examine her body. The doctor said that her injuries seemed serious. They must have been beaten up badly.”
“Also, she seems to have been injected with an unknown drug. We have not tested it yet.” Simon explained to Marina.
Unknown drug?
Could the person who abused Sharon the same person who killed Lambert?
As the realization dawned upon Marina, her expression turned grim.
“Where did you find her?” Marina asked in a somber tone.
“During this period, we mobilized all our resources to search for clues. And we finally managed to find Sharon in an underground auction house.”
“She was barely breathing when we found her. The auction house probably thought she was dead, so they just dumped her in the alley.
Gavin looked at the little girl lying on the bed, his tone filled with pity.
When they found her, she was breathing her last breath.
Had it not been for the top–notch doctors and medically–advanced technology, the young lady might not survive.
She was lucky they had prepared all these beforehand.
“Auction house? Where is this auction house?” When Marina heard that, the expression in her eyes turned cold.
Gavin looked up at Simon as if asking for his permission.
Should he tell Marina about this?
