Chapter 903
When John hung up, Sophia quickly shuffled over to ask him, “Does this mean your dad and your mom are back together?”
John gave it some serious consideration and looked at her. “I feel like Dad keeps going down the road I once walked.”
She did not immediately understand his meaning and stared at him nkly, to which he added, “I feel that Dad is going to move over to
Mom’s ce in a few days’ time.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia chuckled joyfully. If that really happened, William would indeed be following John’s footsteps. Anyway, that
would also prove that the old man was truly in love.
John didn’t have the time to have breakfast because Dexter’s cremation was set at an early time. After packing his stuff, he was ready to leave
in his car. Old Mrs. Constance happened to be awake too and she walked out from her room just as he was about to leave the house, and the
two ran into each other in the corridor.
She felt very upset and sorrowful about Dexter’s passing. “Drive slowly and be careful. Nothing matters more than your own safety now,” she
advised.
He nodded. “Don’t worry. I know.” Old Mrs. Constance also noticed that he was alone, so she looked confused. “Where’s your dad? Isn’t he
going with you?”

John smiled and said, “Dad must have spent the night at Mom’s ce.
We’ll meet at the hospital.” She was taken aback for a second, obviously not prepared for that, but she soon nodded. “I see. Alright. Drive
slowly and stay safe.” After leaving the Constance Residence, John headed straight to the hospital, where William was waiting at the entrance.
They met up and walked over to the crematorium at the back of the hospital. Members of the Bailey Family trickled in as well. The rtives
who were present earlier during Dexter’s crash to gossip were all absent on this day. Those who showed up were from the main family and the
branch family, so it was not a huge crowd. Mrs. Bailey was sobbing and gasping with Isabelle at her side to support her. Among Old Mr.
Bailey’s business partners, only the Constances were present. One could only wonder if the others were specifically told not to attend.
Dexter’s body was wheeled over from the morgue for a final farewell with his family. Mrs. Bailey didn’t manage to go over and take a look
before she copsed onto the floor. Seeing that, Old Mr. Bailey simply waved and gestured at Isabelle to bring her mom to a side.
Next, he went over alone to take a final look at Dexter. William and John stood at a side and felt heartbroken to witness the scene. Standing
beside the gurney, Old Mr. Bailey flipped open the white cloth draped over Dexter’s body and stared at his son’s lifeless face for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and weaklymented, “My child, why were you so foolish?” The family was not given ample time for the farewell before
the hospital authority was told to wheel the body to the crematorium. Two staff members came over and they wheeled the gurney to the
destination, but not before informing the family that Dexter’s ashes would be ready to be brought home in half an hour’s time. Despite
everything that the mortals strived for in their lives, everyone would eventually end up as nothing but ashes in a tiny box. Old Mr. Bailey
stared in the direction of the crematorium for a long time and suddenly started crying while covering his face with his hands. At the moment,
he seemed to have reached a realization as he muttered, “Dexter, I’m sorry.” However, the apology arrived toote. After the gurney was
wheeled away, Mrs. Bailey fainted from her crying and those of the branch family helped to move her onto a chair. Isabelle walked over
slowly to the guys and stood beside John. “Thanks foring.” Not knowing what to say, he could only offer his condolences, which she
epted with a nod. Then, she asked him in a low voice, “Did anything happen to you and Sophiately?” .
