Chapter 297 Cried Their Hearts Out
“Bug good,” Nina said.
The bugs didn’t bite Nina, only Noah.
Noah couldn’t understand why.
He didn’t dare touch the bugs anymore, only squatting on the ground to watch.
They were hiding behind a tree. Being so small, they weren’t easily spotted at first.
The guests attending the funeral feast didn’t notice them.
Finished
The guests were also from the village. Having finished their meal, they walked out slowly, chatting.
“Gabriel’s grandson seems like a filial boy. Keeps asking for his grandpa.”
“It’s sad. The child doesn’t understand anything. He doesn’t know his grandpa isn’t just asleep… he’s gone.”
“Once you’re gone, you’re gone. What a shame about Gabriel.”
“That little grandson of his… he’s probably going to keep asking.”
“Absolutely. It’s hard for the parents, too. How can they just tell a child, ‘Your grandpa is dead, you’ll never see him again’?”
“The poor kid would be heartbroken.”
The two adults went back and forth. And behind the tree, both children heard every word clearly.
Noah was completely stunned. “Nina, what ‘dead’? No see Grandpa?”
Nina knew a little about “death.”
She had almost been dropped to her death once.
She had also dreamed about death. But this was her first time facing the death of someone close.
Looking at Noah’s searching face, Nina hesitated, then told him honestly, “Grandpa gone. No see Grandpa.”

Finished
Noah’s world came crashing down.
He plopped onto the ground, wailing, “No! No Grandpa gone! Want Grandpa!”
Noah cried desperately. The two chatting villagers heard Noah’s crying and got startled.
When they got closer and realized it was Noah crying, their hearts sank.
Noah heard everything they said.
The two adults panicked.
They kneeled down, trying to soothe him gently. But before they could calm Noah, Nina, stirred by his crying, started sobbing, too.
The two little ones cried harder and harder.
The adults were completely out of their depth. “What do we do? What do we do?”
