---- Chapter 2 Following my instructions, my mom erected a gravestone for both me and my child. The problem was that she did not have the right to claim my body. Thad signed a trial agreement during my life that after the experiment failed, my remains would be returned to the lab for sample analysis. Only after the analysis could I finally rest in peace. Thus, my soul drifted alongside my corpse to the lab. Chandler was the person responsible for the sample analysis. "The sample showed excessive drug use. We need to compare it with the advanced database," he said, his brow furrowing slightly. "The body is almost entirely decayed. We should ---- check whether there was improper use of the experimental drug. "This is unusual...even with a failed trial, it shouldn't be this severe." His assistant, Ben Fallon nodded and began taking notes, but Chandler did a double take as he steadied himself against the computer. "She... was pregnant during the trial?" he asked softly. "Yes! You're right! The tests show she was pregnant!" Ben cried out in shock. "We need to confirm which group this sample belongs to. This is a violation of protocol!" Ben was about to flip through the records when a knock at the door interrupted them. Outside the glass window, Pauline smiled brightly and mouthed, "Look what I brought you!" ---- She held up a small cake in her hands. Chandler's serious demeanor suddenly shifted and softened into a gentle smile. "This seems to be Pauline-" Ben began but Chandler silenced him. "The other data doesn't show any significant issues. Confirm the details, and then you can inform the family to come and collect the body. I have things to attend to." Ben swallowed his words as Chandler opened the door and took a bite of the cake Pauline had spooned for him. He smiled. "It's delicious." It was a stark contrast to the man I remembered who claimed to dislike deserts. I loved making cakes. The birthday cake for our wedding was one I had baked myself.
