Jakub’s body was wheeled out of the morgue and the family members needed to take their final farewells of it.

Elder Mrs. Henderson didn’t go near the body and just collapsed.

Elder Mr. Henderson waved his hand to let Clara carry her mother away.

Then he approached Jakub.

Standing next to them, Khalid and Marshall cannot bear to witness the scene.

Elder Mr. Henderson stood beside the wheel stretcher and lifted the white sheet that was covering Jakub’s body and stared his face for a while.

Elder Mr. Henderson seemed to let out a final sigh and said, “My son, why are you being such a fool?”

The hospital didn’t give them much time to say goodbye and just urged them to wheel the body inside.

Then the hospital staff came over and wheeled the stretcher in and said that they call collect the ashes in half an hour.

Well, actually, the only item a person can leave behind the world was those ashes in that tiny box.

Elder Mr. Henderson gazed at the direction of the cremator and then suddenly burst into tears.

It seemed that only at this time he started examining himself.

He sobbed, “Jakub, I’m sorry.”

But all of those words were meaningless at this point.

After elder Mrs. Henderson was supported by Clara, she cried violently and then just fainted away.

Clara’s auntie then helped her to carry elder Mrs. Henderson onto the chair.

Clara then walked towards Marshall, “Thanks for coming.”

Marshall didn’t know what to say and just said, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Clara nodded and lowered her voice, “How are you and Katherine recently? Are you all right?”
