Quinn looked athelplessly. "Good morning? It's almost noon and I've been sitting here waiting for you for
almost two hours."
When Quinn saw the embarrassment on my face, she said with a smile, "Okay, | won't tease you anymore. Get

| nodded and hurried to the dining room.
After | had my breakfast, Quinn and | changed before we headed out the door. After we drove to the city center,
she toldthat we were going to look at splaces.
| knew that she was not going to continue staying in the Zimmers’ house after she was done dealing with the
funeral, so she had to look for a new place as soon as possible.
It was just that even though we were on a tight schedule, she was still very picky about the places we visited.
After looking at properties a few days in a row, none of them took her fancy and it was
starting to givea headache.
There were only a few more days left till Marcus and Nancy's funerals. Since she was running out of tto look
at properties, she had to stop for the tbeing.
On the day of Marcus and Nancy's funerals, Quinn and | got up early. The funerals were carried out according to
customary practice and the burial ceremony was completed in an orderly manner.
In the cemetery, Matthew stood upright in front of Marcus and Nancy's tombstones with a frighteningly cold look
on his face.
He looked like he had no more warmth left in him anymore.
| looked at him worriedly. Quinn grabbed my arm and said faintly, "Let's go."
| nodded hesitantly and left with her.
When | got in the car, | kept replaying the scene of Matthew standing in front of the tombstones over and over
again in my head. He had lost his parents, and from now on, he only had himself in this big world. He would have
no one to share his joy with and no one to talk to about his sadness. He was going to be lonely.
The more | thought about it, the worse | felt. | wanted t o give him a call but | did not let myself do that.
Even if | called, | was not sure if | knew what to say to comfort him. Besides, maybe he did not need my comfort
or anyone else's.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the office building, Quinn got out of the car with me. "I have something
to tell Theo, so let's go up together."
The driver lowered the window and poked his head out of the car. "Ms. Grant, I'm going to take the car to the
underground parking lot."
Quinn nodded lightly.
Quinn and | turned around and headed inside the office. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind us that
sounded like a violent collision.
Quinn's eyes widened in horror as she turned around, only to see the car that we had just been in knocked over
by a medium-sized van. "So it's true. He's really trying to kill me." "What are you talking about?" | looked at her
in surprise.
Quinn's body started shaking. | quickly went to hold her. "Quinn, what's wrong?"
"Matthew wants to kill me. He wantsto die." Quinn's face was full of horror.
