I grabbed his arm excitedly as if I were trying to grab the last straw.
"... Kate said that she was frightened upon receiving our call and knowing that she had hit someone. On the way to the police station, she hit a tree on the side of the road and damaged the driving recorder."
I collapsed on the chair and forced a smile, saying mockingly, "Officer, do you believe in coincidences?"
The policeman looked at me, opened his mouth, and let out a long sigh.
"Ms. Lawrence, based on the preliminary investigation, your daughter's death was an accident. Please restrain your grief. However..."
He changed the topic and said in a low voice, "If you can provide me with some other evidence, we will do our best to seek justice for you!"
I understood what he meant.
If I could find evidence of John's having an affair with Kate, the nature of Kate's accident would be changed.
"I'll find it as soon as possible, officer."
I stopped crying and called to resign. Then I contacted a funeral home.
As I watched Dora's body being pushed into the burning furnace, I widened my eyes.
Likewise, I would keep my eyes wide open and watch the murderer who cruelly hurt Dora be brought to justice and pay with her life!
