Chapter 1723
Silas brought it as he was supposed to, gritting his teeth and taking a step back with his cane, despite the pain in his heart.
"If you need any help, remember to give me a call."
He restrained himself and never crossed the line because he was willing to be her family.
Taya was still the same as before, obediently nodding her head no matter what he said.
"Okay."
Silas gazed deeply at Taya one last time before turning around and getting back into the car.
As the car door closed, Silas looked through the window at Taya standing on the side of the road.
Taya kept her head down, staring at the torn 'farewell letter' on the ground...
After Silas's car disappeared into the distance, Taya finally spoke up.
"Peter, call Holden and tell him to come see me."
Peter was afraid that Taya wouldn't be able to handle everything once she found out, but when he saw her determined expression, he nodded in agreement.
As soon as Holden received Peter's call, he knew that some things couldn't be kept hidden any longer. So instead of avoiding it, he held the urn and went to Blue Bay Island.
When he walked in, Taya was sitting on the living room couch, holding a photo between her fingers. It was a picture she had secretly taken while Griffon was sleeping.
Holden stood still, staring at Taya's pale face. After a moment, he took a step forward and stood in front of her without saying a word. He simply placed the urn in his hand on the table.
Taya's gaze, at the moment she saw the urn, all of her previous mental preparation suddenly collapsed.
"Whose is this?"
Her hoarse voice was trembling as her frail body shook, tears silently rolling down her cheeks.
As Holden laid eyes on Taya, he suddenly didn't know how to approach the situation.
Taya couldn't stand seeing him like this, so she quickly got up and pulled on his clothes.
"Mr. Davies, please speak up."
She held onto her last shred of sanity, going from yelling to pleading, all in search of one answer.
Holden's sorrowful gaze shifted away from her face and landed on the urn placed on the table...
"It's Zack's."
Holden lifted his finger and touched the cold urn.
"It's Zack's."
He repeated it twice before Taya could understand, and the fear in her heart loosened a bit. But the urn was Zack's, which also made her feel a chill run down her spine.
Peter, who was standing next to him, heard that the urn contained Zack's ashes and his usually upright posture suddenly shook.
