(Author’s POV)
"I will go to the Miracles right now," Dion said, then quickly added, "She will be devastated to hear the news, and I am the only one who can help with her emotions."
Alaric gritted their teeth but didn’t oppose him. With his abilities, he knew Dion was the best person, and the one Myra would need most. Elio clenched his fists but didn’t stop him.
Brave hummed, "Alright, Dion, you will go to her house. But~ .... don’t go at this time. If you do, Myra will insist on coming here. We need to keep her identity hidden from Catherine and Brian. And there’s a good chance someone associated with them might attend too. They must not know who Myra is. So, go to her house just before the start of the funeral proceedings." He instructed.
Alaric added, "One more thing: don’t bring her family members, only her. This place is lurking with vampire lords. The fewer people to keep an eye on, the less trouble we will have."
Dion pursed his lips and nodded.
Elio then asked, "What about Yelena? Should we tell her too? After all, she was also Fabian’s friend."
"She is already stressed because of her grandfather. Plus, she and her family must be on the flight to Damona already," Brave remarked, recalling Yelena’s face. Somehow, he felt pity for her. "No need to tell her."
After their brief meeting, they checked the arrangements and waited until it was around eight thirty. Then Dion drove to get the Miracles.

During the short drive, Myra kept her hazels outside the window, but her thoughts were elsewhere. Fabian’s face kept appearing before her eyes. His final words reverberated in her head like a broken record. Her eyes moistened again as she chewed on her lower lip.
Dion glanced her way with a tight expression. With one hand on the steering wheel, he offered her a tissue. "Here, take it."
Myra didn’t hear him. She was deeply engrossed in the memories.
Dion noticed and called her name again, "Myra~ .... Myra~ ...." When she still didn’t reply, he reached for her arm. The moment his fingers brushed against her skin, she jolted away from him. In the process, she had slapped his hand too.
Dion’s eyes trembled, his hand halted midway. He didn’t expect her to react so strongly. It felt like someone was squeezing his heart.
Myra snapped out of it and realized what she had done. "Dion, I~ .... I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to~ ...." she said instantly.
"It’s okay. I understand," Though Dion said this, pain was written all over his face. He was clearly hurt. After that, neither of them spoke as they soon reached the Larson manor.
The car halted just a few meters away from the main gate.
"Wait, I will get the door for you." Saying this, Dion walked out. Myra remained seated. Through the glass, she looked at the gigantic mansion. This was the first time she had come here. The servants were pacing around, probably busy preparing for Fabian’s funeral.
