Joshua was lost in thought.
Amanda was greeting the relatives and friends who came to grieve over. Since there were too many guests, the parking lot didn't have enough space. She had to find other parking places for them.
After the memorial ceremony, Kevin’s coffin would be sent to the cemetery
Before that, the family and relatives would bid him the last farewell. Since they would part forever, the atmosphere was full of sorrow.
The host who presided over the funeral expressed his sorrow for the dead. He said, “Mr. Kevin Forbis is going to Heaven today. Men have joys and sorrows. The moon could be full and crescent. There are inevitably life, death, separation, and reunion in the world. Although he is far away from us, his voice and smile remain in our hearts forever.
“Here, I hope his family and relatives could restrain their grief and accord with inevitable changes.”
Funeral music was played.
All people at the scene stood up and bowed at the dead three times.
In the sobs, Kevin’s coffin was lifted and sent to the cemetery.
The cemetery was located in the east suburbia in City C with the best location. It wouldn't be sent to White City because they had all settled down in City C. Later after Jessica passed away, she would also be buried next to Kevin.
After the procedure was done, it was already in the evening.
All of them were gathered in the villa.
Theresa made some tea. Since none of them had meals today, she called a restaurant and ordered a few takeouts.
After all, the dead had passed away, and the living ones should live well.
“The funeral is over. Shall we take Andrew to for a checkup?”
Jasmine came here alone for Kevin’s funeral. Boyce had a meeting with the top. Besides, because he had applied for early retirement, he was quite busy. Hence, he couldn’t make it.
Jasmine had to come here alone.
After the funeral was over, finally they had time to talk with each other. Now, Andrew’s eyes worried them the most. After all, it was a big thing.
“Not necessary...”
“You always refused, but we’re worried about you.” Theresa also thought that he needed a checkup in the hospital.
Andrew could see blurred things now. Earlier, he could only see black.
For easing his elders, he agreed, “Okay. I’ll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.”
“That’s right. You can’t always make us worried.” Theresa poured him a glass of water. “You haven’t eaten for a whole day. Have some water.”
Right then, the doorbell rang.
Theresa went to answer the door. It was a delivery man. She asked others to help her carry the takeouts into the house, putting them on the dining table.
After paying for the check, the delivery man left. Theresa put the lunchboxes out one after another. “Go wash your hands. Let’s eat.”
Jasmine came over to help her. She filled a bowl with some soup and sent it into the bedroom. Jessica was quite upset, so she was lying on the bed. Dolores and Amanda had been with her all the time.
