After I Died, My Husband Performed My Autopsy Himself
Chapter 4
Hugo returned to the office and gave instructions before rushing downstairs and heading straight to his car.
I followed Hugo and saw him quickly arrive in front of a building.
I knew this place. It was the apartment Hugo's parents left for him.
Over the years, I had suggested renting out the apartment many times, but he never agreed. He said it was left to him by his parents, and he liked to come here alone when he had nothing to do.
Now, it seemed that he was not unwilling to rent the apartment out but had been given to someone else to live in.
After Hugo got out of the car, he ran up the stairs. After a hurried knocking on the door, a haggard-looking woman opened it, and he hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
My heart sank. "I know this woman. Isn't she his idealized love, Renee Godfrey? So that's how it is. Now I understand everything. His heart has never belonged to me. It has always been with Renee from the beginning to the end."
"Hugo, I just heard a knock at the door, and when I asked who it was, there was no answer. Could it be...they've finally come for me?" Renee said with a runny nose and tears streaming down her face.
Hugo held her tenderly and walked into the room.
At this moment, I realized that this apartment had been renovated again at some point. It used to have an old-fashioned retro style but had been transformed into the most popular cream-colored style.
I thought Renee really liked this style. In fact, I used to like it too. I had suggested redecorating our home several times, but Hugo said we didn't have money because it had been spent here.
Hugo's love only belonged to Renee, and he never gave it to me.
In the room, Renee sat on the sofa, while Hugo looked at her with a pained expression.
"What happened today? You look tired," Renee spoke first.
"A gruesome crime has occurred, where a body was mutilated by severing its limbs," Hugo described the case briefly.
With a 'bang', Renee's water cup fell to the ground.
"How cruel! The victim must have suffered a lot when she died."
Hugo cleaned up the broken cup, comforting Renee softly, "Don't be afraid. It's not those people. Even if it is, I will catch them all!"
However, Hugo seemed to think of something and continued, "Even so, it's best if you refrain from going out. I'll arrange for someone to monitor the area closely to ensure your safety. If you notice anything suspicious, please call me right away."
"Hmm, how is the investigation going for that case?" Renee asked.
"No leads! "
Hugo spoke without reservation and told Renee all the details about the case.
Then, he gently coaxed her to sleep and sat quietly by the bed.
They were so compatible.
However, Hugo didn't know that the person he was comforting so carefully was actually a demon!
