"Hey, stop it. This is a funeral. Don't you all understand the principle of respecting the deceased?" Jayleen could not bear it any longer and scolded them.
Jada and Stella had more to say, but upon noticing the displeased expressions on Jayleen, Glenn, and his wife's faces, they could only glare at Eudora with resentment and obediently stood by without saying another word.
With someone coming to her aid, Eudora stepped forward, weaving through the crowd until she reached Alva's gravestone.
Her eyes rested upon the glossy black monument adorned with golden inscriptions that wrote: [In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Daughter, Alva Baldwin.]
Positioned directly above was a black and white photograph of Alva. The picture showed her sweet, radiant smile with her bright, innocent eyes shining.
Eudora was unsure when the photo of Alva was captured, but observing a picture of someone resembling herself attached to the tombstone, a surge of conflicting emotions washed over her.
In the past, there were moments when she harbored hatred toward Alva, and there were moments of envy as well. However, as her life drew to a close and eventually turned into a mere handful of ashes, all her emotions toward Alva disappeared utterly.
With a heavy heart, she stood before the gravestone. She gently placed a white flower on it, took a moment of silence, and then turned to walk away.
Glenn and his spouse were standing beside her. Eudora looked at her "biological parents," their faces now as if grotesquely aged overnight, and she could no longer see the radiant expressions they used to have.
The most heart-wrenching thing in life was when parents witnessed the passing of their child.
The agony of losing their daughter inflicted immense torment upon Glenn and his spouse, draining the luster from their beings and leaving them desolate.
"You..." Eudora had so much to say, yet as she stood there, the words she had carefully crafted remained unsaid within her.
Before this, Colbert had made public an audio recording online as evidence to prove her innocence, which had been given to her by Glenn and his spouse.
Being Alva's "birth parents," their foremost obligation was prioritizing Alva's well-being. However, astonishingly, they opted to forsake Alva to preserve Eudora's innocence.
Eudora found the entire ordeal unfathomable and deeply unsettling, leaving her perplexed and unnerved for a long time.
Be it under the sway of Colbert's powerful influence or for other reasons, Eudora felt she should have shown appreciation toward them.
