The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229

Alger's sobbing grew even more heart-wrenching, this feeling of losing a daughter, as if the sky was falling, was too painful, too lethal.

“Y'all need to hold it together. Crystal would be worried." Arabella hugged Celeste, “Before Crystal left, what she was most worried about, what she couldn't let go of, was definitely you quys."

Celeste cried with immense sorrow, "I know, I know. but I just can't calm down. Bella, I only have one daughter.

How could God be so cruel to take her away? What am I supposed to do for the rest of my life?"

Her sobbing only caused the other members of the Temple family to fall deeper into sorrow.

"I know, I understand." Arabella patted Celeste’s back. She had been through all of this and she knew exactly how it felt, like falling into the deep sea, unable to save herself, even wanting to close her eyes and sink to the bottom.

"I miss her so much, I wish she could sit up and talk to me. I only have one daughter, from an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, she grew into a graceful girl. I had imagined countless possibilities for her future, but I never thought she would die like this."

Celeste's heartbreaking sobs caused the surrounding relatives and mourners to shed tears.

They also never imagined that such a promising girl would meet with such a tragic fate.

At this moment, a disturbance arose from the crowd, Celeste lifted her tear-filled eyes to see the crowd making way for Clark, wearing a black suit, his eyes red as he entered the chapel.

Celeste was suddenly filled with rage, "What are you doing here? The Temple family didn't invite you, get out of here."

Arabella wanted to say something for Clark.

But Celeste told her, "You saved Crystal, and Crystal liked you very much when she was alive. You represent the Collins family, I have no objection, but he is not allowed to step in here!"

“I want to pay my respects to Crystal."

Clark knew that they hated him to the core, but for Crystal's last journey, he had to be there.

Crystal died attempting to save Carol's foster parents, if he didn't come, how could he face his own conscience!
