NovelEnglishChapter 112
He immediately called the sky burial reservation number and confirmed that Aurelia had indeed arranged for this
service two weeks earlier.
A wave of unease settled over the assistant. He realized there were many secrets surrounding Aurelia—perhaps
she wasn't as malicious as she had appeared.
After organizing his thoughts, he met with the representatives from the sky burial organization.
Learning that the process was extremely complex and required travel to Tibet, he fell into deep contemplation.
This was Aurelia's final wish, and without his direct oversight, he feared news of her death might leak out.
After careful consideration, he hurried back to the hospital to request leave from Nolan.
When he entered the hospital room, Evangeline was awake, nestled affectionately in Nolan's arms.
"Nolan, once I'm discharged, | want to try that new French restaurant. Will you take me?" Evangeline's voice was
honey-sweet with a playful undertone.
Nolan smiled indulgently, gently pinching her cheek. "Of course. I'll take you anywhere you want to go."
Standing at the doorway, watching their intimacy, the assistant felt a surge of complicated emotions.

He thought of Aurelia, now silent forever, and felt a pang of sorrow.
"Boss, | need to request stoff," the assistant said quietly as he approached.
Nolan looked up, frowning slightly. "Toff? With the wedding imminent and so much to be done? How can you
possibly take leave now?"
The assistant lowered his head, inventing an excuse. "There's an urgent family matter | must attend to."
Nolan's expression darkened, clearly reluctant to grant the request.
However, Evangeline unexpectedly intervened"Nolan, we can postpone the wedding for a few days. After all,
Aurelia's gone now, and your heart and person belong tocompletely. The wedding is just a ceremony-I want
it to be magnificent and without regrets. That would be a better omen."
Nolan paused, seemingly struck by something in Evangeline's words.
After a moment of silence, he finally nodded. "Well. Go handle your business, but return as soon as possible."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Before departing, he glanced back at Nolan and Evangeline, still nestled together as if nothing in the world could
ever separate them.
A bitter feeling rose in his chest-perhaps this was the best possible ending after all.
He transported Aurelia's body to Tibet, beginning the solemn journey.
Throughout the trip, images of Aurelia kept appearing in his mind-this once vibrant, captivating woman, now
reduced to a cold, lifeless form.
Upon reaching Tibet, the assistant handed Aurelia's remains to the sky burial master according to ritual.
Following religious traditions, the burial master cut along the spine, methodically dismembered the body, and
crushed the bones with stones to attract the vultures.
The vultures consumed the organs first, then the bones, and finally the flesh.
If the vultures consumed the entire body, it was considered good omen, signifying that the deceased carried no
great sins and their soul would "ascend to heaven."
The assistant stood by, watching as the vultures eagerly devoured Aurelia's remains, his emotions in turmoil.
He had never imagined Aurelia's body would be treated this way.
What astonished him even more was that the vultures consumed her remains completely, leaving nothing
behind.
The burial master observed this and nodded with a hint of reverence in his voice"The deceased was a pure soul
in life. Her spirit will ascend to heaven."
The assistant was stunned, shocked by these words.

How could any of Aurelia's actions be considered anything but heinous?
She had betrayed Nolan, killed his mother with her car, and supposedly entangled herself with other men in
prison.
How could such a woman possibly be considered pure?
A sense of disquiet suddenly rose within him. Could there be more to the story of how Nolan's mother died?
Standing on the burial platform, gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains, the assistant felt utterly lost.
He didn't know whether he should share any of this with Nolan.
But Nolan was with Evangeline now, their wedding approaching. Perhaps
Aurelia's death should not disturb their life together.
"Aurelia, what were you hiding? Why did you arrange for a sky burial two weeks
ago? Did you know you were going to die?"
But no one could answer his questions.
Aurelia had left this world, taking all her secrets with her forever.
