The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 102

"What?" Analise and Finlay were shocked, but Scott was already digging the grave.

"Truly his mother's pride and joy, isn't he?" Analise thought. When she thought of the impostor female, however, she couldn't help but get worried.

Clarice was a sentient half-robot female. So, what about the impostor female who resembled Scott's mom? His mom had been dead for years now. She couldn't have been dug up right after her death, could she?

"Scott, did you notice this hole the last time you came?" Analise stood aside and watched as they dug the grave up with their claws.

"No." Scott shook his head. "I came here during Mom's last death anniversary, and it wasn't here before."

Analise fell silent. About ten minutes later, they unearthed the casket. Scott lifted the lid without any hesitation, but there was nothing in there. Aside from the clothes and stone headrest, the casket was entirely empty.

"It's gone." Scott clenched his fists, and the veins on his hands popped up. "Mom's remains are gone!"

Flesh would decay after death, but the big bones wouldn't have disintegrated that easily. The eerie thing was that there was nothing in the casket—no skull, no femur, nothing at all.

"Analise, I'm sensing Ophir's stench here. The casket is intact, which means Scott's mom must've been removed or extracted from it via a unique method," Echo suddenly spoke up when Analise was wondering how best to comfort Scott.

"It's likely that Ophir gave Sean an item and thus provided him with the means to pull it off."

She thought back to how the impostor female was brought over after Sean made a gesture. That was all the clue she needed.

"It's possible that your mom's remains are stuck in the impostor female," Analise said gently.

"Sean…" Scott lowered his gaze, his expression turning as dark as coal.
