Chapter 605 by Marina Vittori

“Don’t make excuses! Your palm prints are all over my brother’s face, and the doctors said he suffered severe head trauma. If you weren’t the one who caused it, who else could it be? Why? Why did you have to hit him so hard? Even if he did something wrong, you shouldn’t have killed him!” Dahlia bawled, her fist pounding on Dustin’s chest.

Although Dustin should be the one in pain, the person who ended up with tears streaking down. their face was Dahlia.

“Dahlia, I think that there’s something fishy with James‘ sudden death. Please believe me. I would never kill him!” Dustin responded gravely.

“Believe you? How am I supposed to do that when all evidence is pointing at you?” Dahlia roared. It has been proven that Dustin was the person who hit James, causing the latter to be hospitalized. Doctors have also confirmed that the cause of James‘ death was head trauma.

These answers were concrete evidence that pointed to Dustin as the murderer. So even if Dahlia was willing to believe that this hadn’t been Dustin’s intention, it was an undeniable fact that Dustin had accidentally killed her brother.

“Calm down, Dahlia. We haven’t gotten to the bottom of this incident yet. Please give me some time.” Dustin’s brows were furrowed deeply.

“How am I supposed to calm down when my brother’s dead body is laying in the morgue? Dustin, from today onward, we are over! I don’t want to ever see you again, so get out!” Losing control of her emotions, Dahlia slapped and clawed at him.

There was no way she could ever forgive him for killing her brother, which meant that from now

on, they were enemies.

“Take care of yourself, Dahlia. I’ll get to the bottom of this soon.” Realizing that nothing he said. was getting to her, Dustin stopped trying to explain himself and got up to leave.

Instead of leaving, he headed straight to the hospital morgue. To be honest, he wasn’t so confident. anymore. Although his strikes hadn’t been too powerful, it was true that he hit James, so there was still a chance that things had gone wrong.

Still, who knew? Maybe James had terrible luck and accidentally fell to his death instead.

Dustin was determined to check things out for himself. He pretended to be one of James‘ family members and entered the hospital morgue. Dustin found the container where James‘ body was being kept and pulled the drawer out, revealing a face that was blue and black. All the marks from

yesterday were still clearly visible.

Dustin steeled himself and began examining James‘ body carefully.

“Visible injuries on the face, bloodshot eyes, forceful impact on the forehead, damage to the back. of the head, and blood clots in the nostrils. It seems like intracranial bleeding is the cause of his death…” Dustin mumbled to himself, his frown deepening as he realized that James‘ death was indeed caused by head trauma.

Could it be that he accidentally killed the other man?

Dustin’s heart sank at the thought. He was sure that if that were the case, Dahlia would hate him

for the rest of her life.1

Dustin became lost in thought as he tried to think of what to do next.

Suddenly, Dustin thought of something. He leaned closer and examined James‘ body again, paying more attention to the top of the man’s head this time and carefully combing through each strand of hair.

After a while, he finally found something out of the ordinary.

At the center of James‘ scalp, there was a minuscule black dot hidden in the dense forest of hair. The dot, which was the size of a pinprick, was so small that others could have easily missed it.

Dustin reached out, and a force sucked a black needle the width of a strand of hair out of James‘ head. “I knew something was wrong.” A shiver ran down Dustin’s back as he studied the black needle in his hand.
