Chapter 344: [Bonus - ]Meeting the in-laws
The idea of ghosts scared Axel out of his wits. It was the reason he rarely watched horror movies. However, staring at the morgue didn’t seem to scare him. If anything, he was compelled to enter, despite knowing a dead person was there. But the dead person wasn’t just anyone.
The person inside this place was his sister.
The person who would sometimes bully him until he was crying, but also someone who would kill others if they bullied him.
Axel mustered his courage, entering the morgue to see his sister for the last time. This could be the last time he would see her face and hold her hand. That reason was enough to give him the courage to enter the place.
As soon as Axel stepped inside, his eyes fell on the person lying on the steel bed. His breath hitched, only seeing the top of her head.
"Sis," he whispered, gulping down the tension in his throat before he took another step.
After several steps, Axel stood beside her body. When his eyes fell on her face, a subtle smile appeared on his face. Strange, he thought. Aside from the dried wound on the side of her head, she looked like she was just sleeping.
"Still pretty as expected from my sis!" His lips stretched until his teeth were on full display, yet tears coated his squinting eyes. "Even when you’re dead, you’re still pretty! Isn’t that cool?!"
A laugh slipped through his gritted teeth while tears rolled down his cheek. He poked her exposed shoulders playfully.
"Even your shoulders are still soft," he remarked before holding her hand. "Sis, are you really dead?"
The smile on his face remained, yet it wasn’t enough to conceal his pain. His vision blurred, squeezing her slightly stiff hands. However, her hands weren’t as hard as expected, considering she was only pronounced dead over an hour ago.
