"The rescue team found a body a few kilometers away from the accident site," Nathaniel continued with a heavy heart. "Although his face was damaged and unrecognizable, his belongings confirmed it's him. The forensic test is yet to be done. But the cops believe it's his body."
Zara rested her hand on his shoulder, offering silent comfort.
"I don't know what to think and what not to." His hands trembled slightly as he wiped his face, breathing out a long, heavy sigh. "Everything is pointing at one thing—he is dead. But my heart is refusing to believe that he is gone."
Zara leaned in and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close. She didn't speak, knowing words would fail him now.
To Nathaniel, Roberto had never been merely an assistant—he was like a brother, a dependable friend, a loyal companion who had always stood by his side. Zara could sense the depth of his loss and chose silence over speech, simply remaining close and offering the quiet strength of her presence.
