He shook his head. "I was in a rush when | cout of the house."
"I'll drive later, then. You can have your breakfast.”
As we were in a rush to leave the house, Miss Woods told us to take our breakfast and eat on the road.
Keith shook his head to refuse. "I'm not very hungry right now. | can eat when we're there."
| thought about it and said, "I can take Munchkin there by myself. You probably need to go visit your deceased
relatives too, right?”
Keith smiled. "The ones who are important toand whom | care about are still around. My parents can go by
themselves. Juniors like us don't need to."
The ones who were most important were still around. Those were probably the most beautiful words anyone
could say on this beautiful day. The greatest fortune i n life was to have those we cared about and loved still
around. It was great not having to experience death and separation, not having to mourn for the dead in the

Halfway through the drive, Keith said, "I investigated Jackie last night. He's from Whaldorf City. His
personal information is kept confidential, so | can’t access it for now. A friend toldthat he once saw him
beside Frank."
| frowned. "Could he be Frank's assistant?"
After a pause, | made a bold guess. "If he’s Frank's assistant, then it all makes sense. The Fredericks were
auctioning off this box in order to find its pair."
Keith pondered for a moment and slowly said, "It's hard to say."

Munchkin had a good memory. He remembered that h e had been here before.

Munchkin looked up atand asked curiously, ” Mommy, will we all die?"
Munchkin was just likewhen | was young, not knowing what death meant.
It was only when | grew up and my friends and family passed on one after another did | understand that death

Speople were difficult to meet, and we rarely spoke to sothers. A few would even leave before w e
could say goodbye. Therefore, we should all learn to appreciate so that we would not regret it when the time
came.
| cast my eyes down at Munchkin. "We'll all die, but at the stime, we won't."
He was still young and should not understand what death meant so soon.
Those words were difficult for Munchkin to understand. He would not be able to understand them.
| looked at the tombstone. Grandma would certainly b e sad if she knew that Theo was not here to see her.
Theo resented her when she left, hence he never sent her off. Perhaps he still resented her a little now.

much to bear.
| felt even more uneasy and pulled Munchkin along, preparing to take him to Mother.
When we briskly walked over there, | saw a person standing in front of Mother's tombstone. The man had a long
and slender figure. He was clad in black and standing in an awe-inspiring manner in front of Mother's tombstone.
As he had his back facing us, | could not see what he looked like.

The man’s body stiffened. He then turned around after a while.
He had extremely charming features, while his aura was cool and distant. He did not say anything and merely

| caught a glimpse of the flowers in front of the tombstone and quickly asked, "Mister, you are?"
The man spoke with a cold countenance, "I'm just a passerby."
Just four simple words and that was it.
