That was when we said our final goodbye. Life was so cruel.
When we got into the car, Theo started the car engine.
He held my hand. The temperature coming from his palm was warm. It was enough to warm my body and blood.
| looked sideways at him, feeling tremendously powerless inside. "That child
You tried your best."
He squeezed my hand and comforted me.
"Don't blyourself. You did everything you could, and the rest was left to fate. All | can say is that the child

The ones in pain and suffering are the ones who are alive right now."
Indeed like what he said, Amelia's parents were the ones in pain and suffering right now.
How could the elderly couple bear the loss of their daughter and grandson one after another?
The car drove all the way to the airport.
Amelia's parents had already arrived. In just a short period of time, the elderly couple was already full of white
hair. They aged rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. | looked at them and felt sorry for them.
They had watched their daughter and grandson pass away one after another. They had experienced the most
painful thing in the world.
When Amelia's mother saw Theo and me, her tears seemed to have completely dried out. She wanted to cry but
could not. She could only let out choking voices from her throat.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grant, you've helped our family tremendously. We may not be able to repay your kindness in this

Ma'am, please don't think too much and bring Sky into the car."

but from what they had now, | figured they must have taken out all of their remaining savings to purchase the
burial site.
The elderly couple got out of the car and walked toward the management room.
Theo and | followed after them. Anthony had lost his sense of humanity to his gambling addiction and was
unstirred by his sister's death, needless to say his sister's son. They also did not have relatives who were close to
them, hence only the elderly couple were there to see Sky off.
It was a cold and desolate funeral. There was no crowd to send Sky off, nor were there fresh flowers. There were
only two elderly with empty hands.
| could not stand it anymore and said to Theo, "Can you have the funeral hgive Sky sflowers? Let the
child leave with joy one last time."
I did not know if there were spirits in this world, but | knew that the two elderly had been emptied of everything

off with bare hands.
