Moments later, another roar of thunder sounded, and heavy rain descended from the sky.

“Mr. Seet, it’s raining. You should take cover in the car.”

 
 

Evan ignored him and continued digging through the dirt.

John sighed. It seems that Mr. Seet won’t stop until he gets Mrs. Seet out. John could not bear to leave him there, so he joined Evan in silence.

They were drenched shortly after it started raining while the soil turned into wet mud. Both Evan and John were in a terrible state, but they continued digging nonetheless.

 

Evan could not keep his eyes open due to the pouring rain. However, that did not stop him. He rubbed his eyes against his sleeve and carried on.

 

He was a clean freak. Yet, he did not seem to care that he was covered in mud from head to toe.

“Nicole, it’s raining. Don’t be scared. I’ll take you home…”

 

As John glanced at Evan, he noticed the latter’s bloodshot eyes. He could not make out if Evan’s eyes were filled with tears or rain. All he heard was the normally arrogant man whimpering in a trembling, deep voice.

At that moment, they finally got the urn out of the mud. Stunned, Evan could no longer hold back his tears as they streamed down his face with the rain.

 

He hugged the urn shakily as he tried his best to shield it from the rain.
