Nobody would want this outcome.
Clara stared at elder Mr. Henderson, “Am I this vicious to you?”
Elder Mr. Henderson’s eyes were all read and Clara can tell that he would break down at any time.
Eyes closed, Clara felt that the whole world was spinning around her.
When Marshall went back to home after work, he told Katherine about Jakub’s car accident.
Katherine was taken aback. Though she didn’t know Jakub, she had heard about him through Clara.
She can always see Clara sending Jakub to the cramming school before.
They must have had a great relationship.
Katherine hurriedly asked, “How is he? Is he okay?”
Marshall felt that he should be all right as though he was bleeding from the car injuries, the car speed in the intersection wasn’t too fast.
So he just replied, “He should be all right.”
Khalid went back home at dinnertime.
Marshall remembered that Khalid was supposed to have dinner with elder Mr. Henderson, but now that Jakub got into a car accident, the dinner must be canceled.
Khalid also heard about Jakub’s accident and said that he would have Lucas to visit Jakub in the hospital with gifts.
Though the relationship between the two families were pretty weird now, they still got cooperation going on, so they need to maintain the surface work.
They had planned this already, but Marshall got the call early in the morning on the next day and heard that Jakub didn’t make it.
Marshall froze for a long time and said to the phone, “Okay, got it.”
It took him a long time to come to himself after hanging up the phone.
How can such a young boy just depart from this world all of a sudden?
Marshall felt uncomfortable, but to his mind, Jakub was always optimistic and bright. He was still young and got so much time to live.
Katherine was still sleeping, so Marshall didn’t try to wake her up and just freshened up quietly and went downstairs.
Khalid was already downstairs and had got the news.
He looked downcast.
He glanced at Marshall and said, “I will come by the Hendersons first after breakfast and go to the company later. I got a meeting this morning and need you to preside over it for me.”
Marshall nodded, “Okay.”
Khalid then just sighed, “How would it happen? What a great boy.”
Well, no one saw it coming.
Old Mrs. Grant didn’t go downstairs this morning and said that she didn’t sleep well last night and wanted to have breakfast at a later time.
Khalid and Marshall just left after breakfast.
Khalid drove straight to the Hendersons and Marshall went to the company.
It was a pretty long meeting and by the time Marshall finished the meeting, he got two unanswered calls from Khalid.
Marshall went back to the office and called back hurriedly.
Khalid was still at the Hendersons.
Marshall lowered his voice, “What’s wrong? I just had the meeting.”
Khalid took a sigh, “If you have time, come by the Hendersons. Clara is not doing well and said that she wanted to see you.”
Marshall replied okay and didn’t really mind what Clara did before at this time.
Moreover, he told Clara about the car accident yesterday.
Clara must want to know some details from him.
Marshall checked the time and said that he would drop by at lunchtime and then asked how was the Hendersons now.
