Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 1016

Natalie was also worried the children would catch a cold if they stood in the rain any longer. She nodded in agreement. "Sure, let's go."

The three adults and two children left the mausoleum and returned to the car together.

"Let's go back to the villa," Shane ordered Silas as he took out a few towels, passing them around.

On the way, Shane busied himself drying the children's hair with the towels, completely disregarding the fact that his hair was just as wet and dripping with rainwater.

Jared and Natalie were drying their own hair at their side. Watching the scene, Jared chuckled and said, "Shane's a great dad indeed."

"Yes, he is." Natalie nodded while smiling.

Shane did not respond to those statements, but the corners of his lips lifted unwittingly, hinting at his happiness.

"All right," he said. Seeing that the children's hair was mostly dry now, he stopped fussing over them and was about to start drying his own when a white towel flew toward him and landed on his head. Natalie laughed lightly. "You must be tired after drying their hair, so let me help you with yours."

With that, she laid both hands on the towel on his head and began rubbing his hair with it.

With a slight chuckle, Shane shut his eyes and let her get on with it.

Suddenly, the sound of a ringtone ruined the heart-warming scene in the car.

Hearing that it was her phone ringing, Natalie dropped the towel and picked up her phone. "It's from the police station."

Jared's and Shane's heads swiveled toward her at once.

"It must be about Susan," said Shane.

Jared nodded. "It must be. Today's the date of her execution, and the time set for it was at noon. It's ten past noon now."

Natalie pursed her lips, remaining silent. Then she picked up the call. "This is Natalie speaking."

"Hello, Ms. Smith. This is the police."

"Yes, I know that. How may I help you?"

The voice on the line answered, "It's about Susan's body. Would you like to claim it?"

To the police's understanding, Susan was not only Natalie's stepmother but was also the culprit behind Natalie's father's murder.

Considering the evil deeds Susan had carried out in her lifetime, they reckoned Natalie and her family might not want to claim her body. However, seeing as Susan was legally still a member of the Smith family, they decided to call and ask for Natalie's view on it anyway.

If it were not for that reason, they would have sent her body straight to the hospital for organ donation.

"Please hold on for a moment." Natalie thought she should consult Shane and Jared on the matter. "The police is asking if we want to claim Susan's body."

Shane cocked an eyebrow. "What are your thoughts on it?"

Biting her lip, Natalie said, "I don't want to. What about you, Jared?”

"Of course, I don't want to either. But what happens if we don't claim it? What would the police do with the body?" asked Jared curiously.

Shane gave him the answer. "It'll be sent to the hospital, where her organs will be harvested for transplantation. Then what's left of her will be cremated, and her ashes will be kept in the funeral home. Of course, there's another option as well, which is to send the body to a medical school where it'll become a specimen for future doctors to study anatomy."

"That's right. Those are the two ways our government deals with unclaimed bodies," Natalie agreed while nodding.

Jared heaved a long sigh. "Then let's go with the first option. Send her body to a hospital. She did so many terrible deeds during her lifetime. Let this be the way she makes up for it. As for the ashes, Jasmine and Warren can have them later."

"Okay." A smile graced Natalie's lips.

That was indeed her preferred solution as well.

"I'll tell the police that, then." With that, she went back on the line and told the police their decision.

The police were not the least bit surprised to hear it.
