After breakfast, Elaine went to her room and changed into a simple black outfit, carried a small casual bag, and
went out.
Just as she walked out the door, the driver came up: "Where's Miss James going, I'll give you a ride."
Elaine stopped and thought about it but agreed: "I want to go to the James family graves and see my dad and
Hilbert."
The driver nodded slightly and reached out to open the door.
Elaine got in her car and exhaled slowly.
She knew Darnell had a lot to deal with and was busy at all times, so she had no intention of asking him to
accompany her.
What's more, she wanted to be alone with her dad for a while.
When she arrived outside the cemetery, Elaine bought two bouquets of flowers and then slowly walked towards the
inside.
Her Hilbert's grave is at the far end, next to it, is her father's grave.
Just as she thought.
Elaine bent down and placed two bouquets of flowers in front of each of their headstones and spoke in a small
voice, "Hilbert, Dad, I'm home."
Before the words were out of my mouth, tears slipped from my eyes.
Elaine knelt in front of Franklin's tombstone and choked up, "Dad, I'm sorry, I was too willful in the past, and I always
made you worry. In the past two years, I have learned to live independently by myself and have finished my studies
properly. I have now graduated and found something I like to do, but you can't see it anymore ......"
The more she talked, the sadder she got, the more tears snapped and didn't stop.
Elaine has been talking about herself for the past two years, like when she was a kid, she would go home and tell
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther dad all the funny things she encountered in class.
When he was tired of talking, he leaned against the tombstone, huffing and puffing, and his eyes were red and
swollen from crying.
I don't know how long it took, but she was in a trance and heard someone behind her calling her.
Elaine thought it was an illusion and ignored it.
"Elaine."
Until that voice, gradually clearing up, penetrated her nerves and brain.
Elaine slightly froze, this voice ...... how so like her father's?
She stepped back a little and looked at the tombstone in front of her, on which her father's smile was kind and
warm.
Elaine wiped a tear from her eye and looked steadily at his picture, "Daddy, is that you calling me."
I thought there would be no response, but the voice answered again, "It's me."
Elaine's eyes widened incredulously. It turns out that when you miss your loved one to the extreme, you can really
see or hear the voice of the deceased?
Franklin did not want to scare her and was about to speak when several figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
He frowned, turned quickly down the steps, and in an instant disappeared into the cemetery.
Elaine looked straight at the tombstone and called out a few more times, but didn't wait for a response.
Did you really just have a hallucination?
At that moment, another person called her, "Elaine."
Not her father's voice.
Elaine turned around sluggishly and found that it was an uncle her dad used to be close to, one of the ones her dad
played chess with on the morning of his birthday.
Michael James saw her and smiled, "Elaine, it's really you. I heard people say they saw you at the cemetery and
thought they were mistaken."
Elaine slowly stood up, was really feeling a little dizzy: "Uncle."
Michael approached and patted her on the shoulder, "This girl, she's grown taller again in two years."
Saying that, he looked at Franklin's tombstone and sighed, "Your father would be very relieved if he could see you
now."
The corners of Elaine's lips pursed gently, not speaking.
Michael said again, "Where are you staying this time back, home? If you don't want to go back, do you want to go
back to James' Mansion to stay, uncle will arrange it for you."
Elaine shook her head, "Thank you uncle, I have a place to stay."
Michael sighed: "Elaine, the James family now, is not the same as it used to be. After you come back and see your
father, it's better to leave before it's too late."
Elaine sniffed and spoke tentatively, "Is it because of Darnell."
Michael nodded: "two years ago the James family situation you know, since your father died, your Uncle Caesar also
lost track, Dolores also came back, now the whole the James family, are Darnell said the decision, your father
before and he is not big If you meet him, you can still avoid it."
Seeing that he was kindly reminding him, Elaine didn't say anything and just said, "I know, thank you uncle."
"OK." Michael said, "Are you leaving now? Uncle give you a ride."
"No, I want to stay here with my dad for a while longer."
Michael nodded: "Then if you have anything, come to uncle, I will take good care of you for your father."
The two exchanged pleasantries and courtesies before Michael left.
Elaine stood still, and after a few minutes, suddenly remembered something, looked back in the direction Michael
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad gone, and felt as if something was not quite right.
Although it is said, two years ago she and Darnell together, never public, only her father, and Natasha and Archer a
few close people know.
But the James, who has been hitting on her dad, including her Uncle Caesar, also knows about it.
Why, then, does Uncle Michael seem to be, for the relationship between her and Darnell, completely ignorant, and
admonished her to leave here early, and try to avoid Darnell when she sees him.
The question seemed as if there was nothing wrong with Shallow, as if it came from the goodwill of an elder.
But when you think about it, it's not right.
Just as she was frowning and thinking out loud, an umbrella was propped above her head: "It's so sunny, not hot?"
Elaine sniffed and turned her head to meet his gaze, slightly surprised: "What brings you here."
Darnell said, "I thought I told you to come see me if you had something."
"I was trying to come to see my dad ......" Elaine hesitated and decided to tell the truth, "I was thinking that he
shouldn't really want to see you, especially if you show up with me. "
Darnell: "......"
He looked back at the headstone and wondered what he was thinking.
Elaine pulled her mind back from what had just happened to Michael, hugged Darnell's arm and shook it, lowering
her voice: "I'll tell you something supernatural, but I think it's possible I'm hallucinating, I think I just heard my dad
call me, and several times!"
As she spoke, she looked up at the bright sunlight in the sky and was shaken to close one eye: "You say, with such a
big sun, it should ...... not appear that kind of thing, right?"
Darnell laughed silently and moved the umbrella over her head, "Let's go."
Elaine took a step to the side and distanced herself from him, "I always thought that my dad could still see and hear
me, so I'll stay away from you so I don't piss him off again."
When she finished, she turned around, held her bag over her head in an attempt to block out the sun's rays, and
drew up her legs and ran.
