The Curse of Death의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

At long last, Evan moved. He slammed his fist against the autopsy table, causing a loud bang to sound. That proved just how furious he was right now.Pointing along the edge of my neck, he growled, "The killer is brutal. Look at these wounds here. These are clearly bite marks left by a canine. The killer not only killed and dismembered the victim but also allowed an animal to bite the victim. We must do a thorough examination and apprehend the killer as soon as possible!"Watching Evan being so engrossed in his work, I let out a self-deprecating laugh. As expected, he didn't recognize me.Well, it made sense. In our two years of marriage, we'd been intimate less than five times. Whenever I tried to initiate something, he would say he was tired before turning his back toward me and falling fast asleep.How could I possibly be delusional enough to expect him to recognize my body? To him, my body was no different from that of a stranger.With much concentration, Evan pieced my body

Just then, there was a knock on the door to the autopsy room, and Evan looked up with a frown. I knew he hated it whenever someone disrupted him at work.However, when he saw who it was, his frown disappeared. He had a doting smile on his face as he called out gently, "Why are you here, Carmen? I'm still in the middle of work."Carmen glanced at my body on the autopsy table before looking away. Lifting the bags of food she was holding, she said with a smile, "No one wants to work overtime while hungry, right? I brought supper for everyone."Evan nodded at the others in the room, and they immediately cheered as they exited the autopsy room. While making his way toward the pizzas Carmen had brought, Isaac Sorrell, the intern, couldn't resist remarking, "Your wife is so thoughtful, Dr. Foster!" Shaun quickly covered Isaac's mouth to stop him from talking, but Evan heard the comment anyway. After a glance at Carmen, his expression hardened, and he growled, "Don't ever bring up that wo

Before Shaun could finish speaking, Evan's phone rang. The ringtone was the one Evan had specifically assigned to Carmen, so he made a shushing gesture before taking the call.Two seconds later, he dashed out of the autopsy room.I heard the call. Carman had been tearfully screaming for help over the phone.Evan ran back to Carmen's apartment and made it back in under ten minutes. Thanks to all that running, his chest moved rapidly as he panted, and droplets of sweat clung to the strands of hair above his forehead. He looked a little disheveled.After almost crashing his way through the apartment door, Evan shouted for Carmen. Tracking where she was based on her cries, he rushed into the bathroom.Inside the steamy bathroom, Carmen was sitting on the vanity with nothing but a towel around her. When she saw Evan, she cried out with a pout, "There's a rat, darling…"Exhaling in relief, Evan walked up to Carmen and put his arms around her waist before kissing her on the shoulder. Th

Through Evan's murmurings as he spoke to the picture of me over the past two days, I now knew that Carmen was an underboss for a criminal organization. The police had been hoping to unearth the hidden criminal boss through her.At the time, they were still finding a way to get close to her. Unexpectedly, while buying me a cake, Evan ended up running into Carmen, who had forgotten her purse. He'd paid for her coffee on her behalf, and just like that, she fell in love with his gentlemanly demeanor.Therefore, the police took advantage of the situation by secretly arranging for Evan to become their spy. His mission was to get close to Carmen, earn her trust, and gather evidence of the criminal organization's illegal activities.Evan knew how important this case was. The criminal organization in question was notorious for its ruthlessness. People died at their hands every day. Thus, he made up his mind to accept this mission.However, he also knew that Carmen was no saint. For a woman

Evan didn't even get to change out of his suit before he led a team over to Carmen's apartment. It had already been ransacked, with Carmen's identification documents and some cash missing.He punched the wall and silently cursed himself for being so careless. He should've apprehended Carmen himself and watched to make sure she was in police custody."Wait a little longer for me, Lyra. I'll make sure Carmen pays an eye for an eye."Evan's face was ghostly pale. It had been three days since he'd last had a good night's rest. I stood in silence beside him the whole time and saw everything he'd done."Don't go, Evan. It's dangerous. I know you love me. I forgive you."I kept saying those words to him, hoping to stop him, but he couldn't hear me.Ignoring his body, which was already stretched to its limits, Evan joined the police as they searched the entire city for Carmen. The search went on for five days, and it seemed as though she'd vanished into thin air.In the end, it was Henr
