"Tremaine." Yesseca greeted him first.
Tremaine nodded, his eyes looked heavy.
He noticed that Yesseca had changed.
The Yesseca in front of him looked nothing like the woman he had been before.
She was dressed very smartly.
Her eyes weren't as gentle as before.
But her eyes still looked clear and bright.
They were as clear as a pond in spring.
Tremaine felt a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Regardless of what Yesseca looked like, he felt his heart ache.
The two of them went to Rorita's tombstone.
They carefully cleaned her tombstone and left some fresh flowers.
When they left the cemetery, Yesseca suddenly said, "Those who are still alive should live their lives well."
Tremaine held his breath.
After a moment he replied, "Yes, they should."
"Ruth." Yesseca said, "She wants to see her son."
When she said this, Yesseca thought she should have brought it up in a more tactful manner.
But then realized that she didn't need to.
She and Tremaine had known each other for many years. There was no need to do any of that.
She should simply speak her mind.
Tremaine hadn't expected Yesseca to bring this matter up all of a sudden. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Sure, I will make the arrangements."
Yesseca nodded and said, "Then on Ruth's behalf, I thank you."
Yesseca left after saying that.
Tremaine watched Yesseca leave for some time.
Sheldon felt quite emotional about this.
Yesseca was the most important person to the president.
With just one simple sentence, he agreed to her request.
