Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 613

My words caught everyone's attention, and they looked at me in disbelief.

"Call the cops?"

The neighbor I had entrusted seemed to grasp the situation. He immediately picked up his phone and made the call.

I kept my gaze on Melanie, who stood coldly and impatiently beside Matthew. After a while, I picked up my phone and called the cops.

Before they arrived, Atlas had arranged for us to see the body. Matthew didn't move. He stayed on his knees, wailing, refusing to look up.

"Matthew, go see your mother!" I said it coldly, but he remained motionless. "This is your last chance."

His hands on the ground tightened, but he didn't lift his head.

"Grandma... I want Grandma!" Ava's cries were heartbreaking. After some thought, I stood up slowly and headed inside. Ivanna and Lauren stood by my side.

"We'll accompany you."

"I want to see Grandma!" Ava cried. "Mommy, I want to see Grandma too!"

I smiled sadly and said, "Be good! Mommy will go for you. Grandma wouldn't want you to cry."

Then I walked into the emergency room resolutely. There were no medical staff inside, and the stark white of the sheet under the shadowless lamp was glaring. This place was already a realm of the departed, and it felt even more eerie at this moment.

My heart pounded violently. This was the first time I had seen someone lifeless. She had been a family member closely tied to me for over a decade, my child's grandmother.

Ivanna whispered, "What if...we just let it go?"

I stood silently for a long time before straightening up and moving forward.

Gently lifting the sheet, I saw her face, seemingly sleeping peacefully. At this moment, she appeared gentle and benevolent.

From now on, she would be beyond pain, worry, and suffering.

Then, I calmly told Lauren. "Lauren, go buy the best funeral clothes for her. The very best, just like the ones she always wore."

Lauren turned and quickly left, returning shortly after. Trembling, I helped her put on the clothes. It was the first time I had dressed Grace. Enduring the process with tears, I smiled and looked at her serene appearance.
