Chapter 1303
I wanted to ask him something, but before I could speak, he stopped me. "Let's talk about it later.Eat!"
No talking when eating and sleeping.
He had always been like this.
I said 'Okay', and then drank my soup.
After breakfast, I was a little slow. I was sitting at the entrance, wearing my shoes. Hendrix went tothe garage to get the car. My phone rang. It was Sonia's mother, so I answered the phone, "Howare you?"
I felt the tension even before she spoke. Sonia's mother took a deep breath and said, "Mrs.Roberts, Rita passed away yesterday. She said that she wanted to go back to her mother. Webrought her back to Jarold City today. We have no friends or relatives. The person who was closestto her was you. If you have time, Rita's grandpa and I would like to have you over to send her off."novelbin
There was a buzzing noise in my head. I looked at Hendrix's car outside the gate and couldn't say aword for a long time.
Hendrix saw my blank expression. He got down from the car and walked towards me with a puzzledlook on his face. "What's wrong?"
At the same time, Sonia's mother's voice came over the phone again. "Mrs. Roberts, are youlistening?"
"I am!" I opened my mouth, my voice coming out choked. Hendrix saw that my mood had changed,so he lifted me up with a slight frown.
"She's going to be buried at Sandall Mount. Rita said that she wanted to lie next to Sonia, next toher mom." Sonia's mother's voice was a little hoarse. She must have been crying for a few daysnow.
I sniffed, but my voice was still hoarse and uncomfortable. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Wewill be there in a short while."
"Thank you, Mrs. Roberts!" On the other end, Sonia's mother's voice sounded a little deep andchoking.
After hanging up the phone, Hendrix looked at me with concern in his eyes. "What happened?"
I took a breath and looked at him, "It's Sonia's daughter. Her grandparents chose not to continueher treatment, and took her to Tuberland instead. But on the way, she passed away, and today theybrought her back to Jarold City to be buried."
He frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. "Can we go after the hospital?"
I shook my head. "Let's go to the airport and send them straight to the cemetery."
After a moment of silence, Hendrix agreed and nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Rita's sudden departure made me feel that there was no way to ease up. I always thought thateverything would be fine as long as I persisted.
But I never thought that the last time I saw her would also be the last time I saw her alive. It showedthat life really was unpredictable.
After getting in the car, Hendrix started the engine and held my hands in his. His hands were verywarm, the warmth seeming to seep through my nerves and even my blood. I glanced at him and felta little weak. "That child, I..."
"As long as you tried your best!" He raised his hand and comforted me. "Don't blame yourself. Youhave done all you can, and the rest is all up to fate. That child has not experienced the tempering oftime. Her time here was always pure. In a way, this is also for the best. The people left behind arethe ones left in suffering."
