Chapter 1909
Rosalynn watched as the two squabbled, a grin spreading across her face.
“Sorry about this, I didn’t mean for Mr. and Mrs. Silverman to see this spectacle, the principal’s wife quickly
apologized.
“No worries,” Rosalynn responded.
“That rascal, he’s got such a temper, not even turning his head back the principal sighed, “I bet he’s still blaming
me for pushing him!”
When he’s all grown up, he’ll understand your good intentions, the principal’s wife comforted.
Rosalynn watched as Liam disappeared into the crowd.
Does that mean he did not want to study abroad?
As Rosalynn wondered this, her phone started to buzz. It was a call from Larkin,
Rosalynn was surprised. Normally, if this couple needed something, it was Erica who would call
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe picked up the phone, Larkin, what’s up?”
There was a pause at the other end of the line, then came Larkin’s weary voice, Erica’s not doing so well, can I
bring her over to your place?”
“Weren’t we all fine when we parted a couple of days ago? What happened?” Rosalynn quickly asked.
Then, the answer that came from the other end of the phone left Rosalynn shocked
“Mary passed away”
“The little nun?”
“Yeah.”
Two days ago.
Erica, with a heart full of joy, headed towards the monastery
She had asked Larkin to stop the car numerous times, to buy things for Mary
She thought, since they were going off on their honeymoon, they should buy Mary some extra things.
By the time they got to the monastery, it was almost dark,
The sunset was beautiful. Erica had been here twice before, and was quite familiar with the place. She walked into
the monastery with the things she had bought.
But once inside, she felt that something was off.
At first, Erica thought that everyone was still grieving over the Abbot’s death.
So she suppressed her own emotions and started looking for Mary.
Usually, at this time, Mary would be in the dining hall.
On her way to the dining hall, Erica ran into an acquaintance.
Ms. Lawrence.”
“Brother Martin, hey there,” Erica greeted warmly
Martin glanced at the things in Erica’s hand, clearly meant for a child.
These days, Erica and Larkin’s previous intention to adopt Mary, and Mary’s rejection of their offer, was known to
everyone in the monastery.
Tears welled up in Martin’s eyes.

Larkin was a few steps behind Erica.
“Why? I came to see Mary. I haven’t seen her yet, why should I go back? Erica was confused.
Larkin took her hand and asked, “What happened?”
“Mary Martin began, his voice choked with emotion, “Mary she’s passed away”
Enca’s mind went blank
“What did he say? Larkin, i dont understand,” she turned to look at Larkin,
She didn’t even realize that tears were already streaming down her face
“Mary is dead”
The Prior’s voice came from the steps.
His voice was very hoarse, as if he had just recovered from an illness
As soon as Erica saw him, she ran towards him, “Wheres Mary? Bring her out quickly, look, I bought lots of goodies
for her, and there are also a few pairs of new shoes in the car. When left last time, her shoes were quite worn out!”
They hadn’t seen each other for some time.
