The Returning Ex

It was a miracle for Elder Mr. Bailey to live for so long with that frail body of his.

Old Mrs. Constance then sighed. “This is why we shouldn’t commit any crimes. This is retribution.”

If Elder Mr. Bailey was content with his life and took care of himself in his later years, he probably wouldn’t die so quickly.

John didn’t say much but went out at once. Actually, what Isabelle asked him to do was pretty easy. Since Elder Mr. Bailey was dead, the procedures were simple enough.

After the death certificate was issued, the body was taken out and sent to the funeral home for cremation. The usual cremation time was in the morning, which seemed to be a rule of sorts. But John didn’t care that much, so he went to the funeral home and asked when the cremation could be done soonest. The funeral home staff told him that there were no affairs slated for that afternoon. If John didn’t mind, they could do it immediately.

John paid the fee at once. “I don’t mind. Go ahead and burn him.”

The staff was startled at his callousness, but since John had paid the money straight away, she didn’t say anything else either and quickly asked someone to push the body in.

John sat on a chair outside and waited. The ashes were transported out in just half an hour.

Urns were sold at the funeral home. John bought the cheapest one, and he didn’t even stick a photo on it but simply dumped the ashes directly into the urn.
