On the day of Yasmin'’s funeral, the sky unexpectedly cleared up after being gloomy for several days.
In the quiet and solemn cemetery, Ryan stood before Yasmin’s tombstone with lowered eyes that were now devoid of any light. He
placed a bouquet of chrysanthemums on her grave, while on the side was the broken gemstone.
Soon after, Bella, Justin, Asher, Arnold, Axel, Roza, lan, Amelia, Ralph, Drew, and Dean also stepped forward to offer their flowers
and condolences.
The women shed tears quietly, and the men were also engulfed in immense sadness, but they forcefully restrained their emotions
as theyforted their partners.
Only Ralph, who was a police officer and was used to seeing death, stood there with reddened eyes, his tears shimmering faintly.
Although he had only met Yasmin a few times, that girl left a deep impression on him each time, especially when they last met in
the amusement park.
Back then, he thought Yasmin was cold and aloof, rarely smiling. But during the last interaction, he found out that she was a
humorous and fun girl who loved to laugh and talk.
In his mind, Ralph saw Yasmin wearing a pink bunny mascot costume, touching his shoulder, and asking him for pictures.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, he could no longer hold back his tears. He lowered his head, his fingertips trembled as he quickly wiped his eyes.
He had not yet sent her those photos. But he no longer had a chance to do so...
“Yasmin, rest in peace.” Ryan stared at Yasmin’s bright and smiling face in the colorless photo. His battered heart seemed to
shatter into pieces and was dispersed silently by the wind blowing through the cemetery.
“l hope | can still meet you in our next life... I'll be the one to protect you then.”
Beautiful words were carved on the tombstone, with her full name—Yasmin Hoffman.
Yasmin was an orphan. After being adopted into the Hoffman family, she took the Hoffman family name. The n“Yasmin” was
given by Ryan's father.
At that time, there was a field of jasmine flowers in the Hoffman family’s garden. In the distance, the field of flowers looked
extremely romantic.
“The girl with you is not only beautiful, but she also has a type of thriving energy, much like the field of jasmines in our yard. Let's
call her Yasmin.”
Jasmine symbolized love, romance, and purity of the soul. Everything seemed destined by fate.
At this moment, steady footsteps approached. The crowd looked up,pletely surprised.
“Carrie?!”
Matt stood by her side, silently guarding her.
“Carrie!” Ryan's dim eyes finally lit up. He strode over with a worried expression. He kneeled before her and held her thin hands
tightly.
But he felt he could never hold it tight enough. “You're still so weak. How could youe out like this?!”
Justin and Bella cover nervously as well. Seeing that Carrie’s mental state had stabilizedpared to the last time, they could
not help but look at Matt.
“Last night, Mr. Grant sent someone to deliver the medicine. Ms. Carrie did the procedure, and it was indeed effective.”
Upon hearing it, Bella and Justin's expressions were a littleplicated, especially Justin's. His handsface darkened, and his
grip on Bella's hand tightened.
“Ah... Ah... I..."
Carrie's small hands moved in Ryan's warm palm, and her pale lips parted, but she could only make simple sounds.
“Carrie, you want to see Yasmin, right?” Ryan asked gently.
Carrie nodded, tears welling up beneath her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyan took a deep breath and pushed her wheelchair toward the tombstone. When the couple passed by, Ralph closed his eyes in
pain and restraint.
Even now, he still loved Carrie. No matter what happened, love could not be changed.
However, he was far from deserving of such a good woman.
Drew, who was standing outside of the crowd, also carried a hint of sorrow.
Suddenly, his gaze froze. Standing in the distant woods was a graceful figure dressed in black.
