Chapter 591 Visiting the Grave
Finally, they arrived at Jessica’s tombstone. On it was a picture of her with a bright smile on her face. The black-and-white image made the picture appear rather depressing, but the smile on Jessica’s face was still as infectious as ever. Lindsay broke into sobs the moment she arrived at the tombstone.
Even though she had tried her best to prepare herself for it mentally, her heart still shattered the moment she saw her daughter’s face. “How could you leave me so soon, my darling Ceci? How could you leave an old lady like me when you’re still so young?” she cried.
Linda tried her best to support Lindsay’s frame as the old woman cried. Jerry, who was a distance away from them, had begun to tear up as well. “We haven’t seen each other in so long, Ceci.
It has been nearly 30 years. Why did you have to be so stubborn, my child? Why couldn’t you just come home to look for your parents?” There was a hint of resentment in his voice. He wasn’t wrong; Jessica might have survived if she had decided to ask her parents for help when she first encountered her problems. However, she was simply too stubborn to do such a thing.
Eventually, Linda found herself sobbing just as hard as everyone else, and the whole family was soon in tears. A cold breeze lingered in the air, almost as if the skies had been infected by their sadness as well; even Jocelyn cried along with the rest of the family.
However, they eventually decided to leave the grave as they were worried that Lindsay might get too emotional otherwise.
Lindsay had prepared a few of Jessica’s favorite dishes and some of Jessica’s favorite flowers. “I’m going to leave now, Ceci. Don’t you worry. I’m going to take really good care of your daughter.
You can wait for me wherever you are, and I’ll expect you to be ready with an apology once I go over there to join you, okay?” Lindsay clamped a hand over her mouth and forced herself away from the grave after that.
Jerry stared at the tombstone for a while longer before turning and leaving, with Jason following behind him. “We’ll need you to arrange for Jessica’s grave to be shifted, Jason. We can’t leave her alone here,” Jerry urged.
