Chapter 78 Could You Please Give Me a Ride
Penny slept until noon. When she woke up, her head hurt so badly. When her phone vibrated wildly, she quickly answered the phone.
It was her aunt, Haley, calling. Her tone was anxious.
"Penny, I called you a few times but couldn't get through. Is something wrong with you? Your uncle is going to find you."
Penny glanced at the missed calls. There were five calls from her aunt. No wonder she was so worried.
"I'm fine. I slept too late last night. I was too tired to hear anything."
Haley breathed a sigh of relief. "Then do you want to visit your mother's grave today?"
"Yes. I've already gotten up. I'll be right there after buying some flowers."
"No need. Your uncle has bought some. He'll wait for you outside your place. Let him drive you to the cemetery."
After hanging up the phone, she freshened herself up quickly and went out to meet Philip.
Philip handed her the flowers he bought. "Your aunt said you slept late last night. Take a rest in the co-pilot when I drive."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Penny sat in the co-pilot, smelling a very faint smell of gasoline. Philip had driven this car for many years. Even if it was maintained on time, the smell of gasoline and leather still couldn't be eliminated.
The car arrived jerkily at the cemetery.
She got out of the car with the flowers and came to her mother's grave.
Penny came there every year. Sometimes, she had to come before or after her mother's death day because of something. She knew her mother wouldn't blame her for it.
Thinking of what the Stuart family had done recently, she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to her mother alone.
However, her uncle was waiting for her not far away, so it wasn't convenient to speak her mind.
The tomb was cleaned simply, and she squatted down and put the flowers on it seriously.
Then Penny quietly rubbed her eyes and walked to Philip.
"Uncle, let's go."
Philip was smoking. Seeing her red eyes, he wanted to say something but bit it back. He only held the cigarette in one hand and patted her shoulder with the other.
When they were about to get in the car, a motorcycle came. A man and a woman were sitting on the motorcycle. After stopping in front of them, Susan got off, snatched the car key from Philip, and then said angrily. "I told you not to drive the car during the three days. I'm going to go out with my friend today. They are waiting for me. You can walk back."
