Chapter 881 The Passing of Lindsay
Selena’s face turned redder than an apple. Is this supposed to be a moment? She tried to distract herself by looking at the time, then she realized it was already ten. Oh my god. “We’re late!” She jumped out of bed quickly, since there was a lot to do on the day after the new couple’s wedding.
Pierre took his sweet time getting out of bed, much to Selena’s annoyance. In the end, she had to nag him incessantly before they finally came down, but everyone was already there. Not to mention Savannah was already done with the tea ceremony when they came down. Awkward, Selena thought.
“Looks like the couple’s still going sweet even though they have four children now,” Jocelyn teased. Selena stared down in embarrassment, but Pierre didn’t mind, or he didn’t care.
Two days later, death finally came knocking for Lindsay, and everyone stood around her deathbed. Lindsay looked at everyone long and hard, as if trying to sear their faces into her memory.
Then she called her son and Jocelyn over, and to everyone’s surprise, she started speaking, though it might just be terminal lucidity at work. “I’ve been hard on you ever since you married into our family. Now that I’m dying, I would like to apologize for what I did. The family is in your hands now.”
Jocelyn started crying. “It’s fine, mother. We’re a family.”
Lindsay nodded at her, smiling. “Please don’t turn out like me. Be nice to your daughter-in-law. Reuben, you’re my only son, so keep the family safe, you hear me?”
