"You! Who are you to accuse me of acting!" Yvonne's face flushed crimson.
Nevertheless, her tears dried up as she spoke.
I paid her tears no heed but cast a cold gaze at her as I assessed her.
Indeed, it was a ghostly resentment surrounding Yvonne!
I inhaled deeply and whispered, "Yvonne, answer me truthfully from now on. Have you been plagued by dreams each night? Dreams of the same man? And do you wake each morning more exhausted than when you fell asleep?"
Yvonne's eyes widened in shock at my words.
From her reaction, it was clear that she had indeed had sex with the dead!
However, as long as she cooperated with me and told me who the dead man was, I could still salvage her dire situation.
Otherwise...
"One final question. Answer me truthfully, and I can still save you. Who have you had sex with recently?"
The two staff members eyed Yvonne with suspicion, and Yvonne erupted with rage.
"You've slept with the dead. So did your entire family! Katherine, out! Lily, Katherine has defamed me. I'm terminating her! I'll sue her!"
I sidestepped her attempted slap.
Turning to leave without further ado, I left my parting words echoing.
"You seek to do good, yet you sever your own lifeline."
