Chapter 460
Vermont immediately stopped the mortician. “Hold up, her son-in-law is here. Let him
pay his last respect!”
The morticians stopped.
Stella lifted her head.
Keegan was wearing a suit when he walked into the mourning hall with a grim face.
His eyes met with Stella’s. Stella’s gaze looked very nonchalant as if he was just a
stranger to her.
Keegan could not help but feel a little crept out.
Vermont quickly approached Keegan and put a black armband around his right arm.
Cordelia said after seeing how Keegan just stood there. “Keegan, go on and pay your
last respect to your mother-in-law.”
Dahlia went to him and gave him a stalk of white rose. She said softly, “Put it in the
coffin.”
Keegan recollected himself. He went to the coffin and placed the white rose in it.
Cordelia frowned after seeing what he did, but she kept quiet anyway.
Keegan was about to speak to Stella after doing so, but she turned away and said to
the mortician, “Please nail the coffin now.”
Keegan pursed his lips.
The sound of nails getting hammered into the wood was the only thing that could be
heard in the spacious mourning hall, and Rainee bid her last farewell to this world
when the last nail hit the coffin.
The whole cremation process was going to take some time, so Vermont made a
reservation at a restaurant nearby for the guests to eat something.
Most of the people who came to offer their condolences had left, and Cordelia was
starting to get tired too. She said something to Stella and went back to the car. She
also shot his eldest grandson a glance before she left.
Keegan went to Stella. He gulped and said, “My flight was delayed.”
Stella ignored him as she turned around and said to Felicity, “Felicity, do you want to
use the washroom?”
Felicity did not want to go, but she changed her mind after glancing at the look on
Stella and Keegan’s faces. “Sure.”
Vermont frowned. “What? Didn’t you just come back from the washroom? Is
Vermont’s blood boiled. “You’re the son-in-law! Did anyone tell you that Stella spent
the entire night praying for her mother yesterday?
Keegan kept quiet.
The Kane family had never held a funeral in more than twenty years, and he was not
familiar with funeral etiquette. Also, he had no idea what he was supposed to do as a
son-in-law on an occasion like this.
Dahlia told him to place the flower in the coffin, and he thought that it was everything
he needed to do.
‘Dahlia has attended so many funerals. I’m sure she knows very well what I was
supposed to do.’
Keegan frowned and asked, “Did anything happen in these few days?”
“Yeah. A group of people went to your mother-in-law’s ward and removed her oxygen
tube while asking Stella to pay something back. She called me and I went there with
Marshall. Fortunately, we it made there on time.
Those scums tried to hurt Stella, and the only reason I didn’t break their arms was we
were in the hospital.”
