Chapter 1004
When Josiah passed by Meredith, he took off his windbreaker and put it on her. He said, “Edith, don’t stay here, hurry back to the car.”
Her clothes were all wet. She will catch a cold if she stayed like this.
“I want to stay by myself for a while,” Meredith said in a hoarse voice.
“Edith…”
“You take Mrs. Larson home first, please.”
Seeing her insistence, Josiah had to accompany Mrs. Larson to go first. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind her, saying, “Don’t stay too long. Be careful not to catch a cold, and I’ll ask Mister Yoseph to wait for you.”
Meredith did not make speak, nor did she want to speak.
People left one after another, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of rustling drizzle remained.
Meredith ignored the cold and the puddling water under her feet. She silently knelt down on the ground.
On the tombstone was Charlie’s picture, his smile forever frozen.
Meredith remembered that she took this photo for him abroad. At that time, he was still very healthy and happy, so his smile was extraordinarily bright.
They returned to this country not long afterward, and he was involved in a car accident.
Such a bright smile never appeared on his face again, and she never took pictures for him again.
Unconsciously, she stretched out her fingers and gently stroked his smiling face, stroking back and forth gently
“Charlie,” she called in a hoarse voice.
Charlie could no longer respond to her as usual.
Tears poured out of her eyes instantly, and she then called out, “Charlie.”
