Chapter 9: This Chapter is Wonderful (4/4)

Chapter 9 This chapter is wonderful (4/4)

Karen counted out one thousand lubis, preparing to give them to Old Darcy later.

The remaining money, Karen handed over to Mason.

Mason merely smiled, pushing the money back, and said:

"Keep it for yourself."

"Don't I need to hand it over to the public fund?" Karen asked.

The money was indeed a large amount, but compared to one's life, life was definitely more important.

If he handed this income over to the public fund:

Hey,

Dis,

Did you see that,

Not only can I cook, but I can also make money!

So please don't kill me!

"He already said it was your... oh, consultation fee, so it's yours. Just put it away, remember to keep it safe, or tomorrow I'll take you to the bank to open an account for you and deposit it."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"No need for thanks, no need for thanks." Mason reached out, draping his arm over Karen's shoulder, and asked, "What you just said to that... that Piaget, right? What you said to him, I heard it all. Although there were parts I didn't quite understand, I could feel that you comforted him very well.

How come I never knew before that you could talk to people's hearts like this?"

The previous "Karen" was an autistic patient; how could he possibly go and talk to people's hearts?

"I saw it in books, and learned a bit."

"Oh, I see. When we get back, I'll discuss it with your aunt, then our family can expand to include another project, just like this time, psychological counseling or psychological therapy.

You know, those family members who lose their loved ones are in great grief; they need someone to comfort them."

Oh,

Karen understood what Mason meant;

In fact, in his world from his previous life, high-end funeral homes would be equipped with psychological counselors to comfort the deceased's relatives and provide psychological counseling.

"Can you do this?" Mason continued to ask, "I mean, you don't have to force yourself."

"I can, no problem."

Karen answered very crisply, out of his own professional confidence.

"That's great. You know, every time I see those grieving family members, my heart aches so much..." Mason clutched his own chest.

"Uncle is truly kind..."

"Because I know that people in that state of emotion will lose their reason and will be more willing to spend money than usual, yet I don't have enough pretexts to earn their money. Whenever I think of this, my heart aches so much."

"..." Karen.

"Are we really giving Old Darcy one thousand lubis?" Mason asked.

"Yes." Karen nodded.

"Alright, I'll go give it to him." Mason took the one thousand lubis and went inside to find Old Darcy.

Inside the glass wall,

Old Darcy used an iron hook to rip open a slit in Mr. Mossan's belly,

Then pushed him into the incinerator.

Karen saw Mason approach Old Darcy. Old Darcy was a bit surprised at first, then smiled, and even turned around deliberately, taking off his hat and bowing to Karen outside the glass wall.

At this moment,

Ron also strolled out, lighting a cigarette to relax.

"Ron."

"Yes, is there something, Young Master Karen?"

Karen took out 500 lubis and handed them to Ron.

"This money..." Ron was somewhat bewildered.

"Given by that gentleman just now, a share for everyone present."

"Really? Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master."

Ron was extremely happy as he pocketed the money. He had no wife and was a spendthrift who spent his entire paycheck, even having to pay off the debts incurred from the previous month after each payday. This extra five hundred lubis was enough for him to enjoy himself for two evenings in the tavern.

Karen spoke up and asked:

"By the way, Ron, did the government department call you to collect Jeff's body?"

Ron had absolutely no guard up and answered directly:

"No, that morning we were originally going to the Flower Water Bay Sanatorium to receive Mr. Mossan, but while passing by Mink Street... was it number 125 or 130? Anyway, right in front of the street trash can, we found Jeff frozen to death there.

We could only bring Jeff back first before going to pick up Mr. Mossan, and the welfare form was also applied for by Mr. Mason afterward."

As expected!

In Karen's mind immediately flashed the words Uncle Mason had said when driving past that townhouse, which was number 128:

"However, the day before yesterday her family ran into some trouble, she asked me for help, so I helped handle it... She and her husband are currently looking for a new house and preparing to move..."

So,

Uncle helped his first love's family,

Dispose of a corpse!

Wait a moment,

Karen suddenly realized a problem,

Which was that he had respectively "seen" some scenes on the bodies of Mr. Mossan and Jeff;

Mr. Mossan's obsession was his unwillingness to be cremated, which had been proven true by Aunt Mary, because for religious reasons, Mr. Mossan was very resistant to cremation.

And if what he saw at Mr. Mossan's place was true,

Then the woman with only a pair of legs and a face that he saw at Jeff's place, could it also be... true?

In Karen's mind immediately rose the scene of the second floor he saw when passing by that house, that pair of legs and those red high heels!

So,

In the home of Uncle's first love,

There is currently living a... monster!
