Chapter 388
Soon, a maic and deep voice sounded.
“I, Elijah Freeman, promise that after the one–year employment period, I’ll disappear from your world
forever.”
Sheena leaned against the foot of the bed, sliding down to the floor as tears gradually streamed down
her cheeks.
Elijah had disappeared before the contract was up, and she did not even have time to say goodbye.
This night felt exceptionally long. Sheena stayed awake, staring nkly out of the window. She stayed
up until her eyes became dry and swollen.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at her door, and she wiped away her tears.
“What is it?”
John stood outside the door and reported, “Miss, Lionel has already sent Mr. Freeman’s ashes back to
the Freeman mansion. The day of Mr. Freeman’s funeral has been set, just three days from now.”
Sheena was surprised to hear that his funeral would be held so soon.
Howard and Lionel helped Faye with the funeral arrangements.
When Howard returned from Svelton, he heard about the incident. Since Elijah sacrificed himself for
Sheena, Howard felt uneasy. Knowing that Sheena could not handle the guilt, he took the initiative to
help her, easing her burden.
With Howard’s intervention, Elijah’s death went unnoticed by the media, and the wealthy families in the
know dared not gossip, allowing Elijah to have a peaceful passing.
The weather in Farlem was bleak for these three days, with constant drizzles and chilling winds.
On the funeral day, thunder rumbled loudly, and the atmosphere was cold and gloomy. A torrential
downpour mercilessly poured down, casting a somber mood over the entire Farlem.
ck umbres stood before the cemetery, giving an eerie and chilling sight from a distance. Only a
few people attended, including the rtives of the Freeman family and some closely associated
business partners.

Faye held Elijah’s ashes, crying uncontrobly. Her tears had almost dried up over these three days. If
it were not for her determination to see Elijah’s funeral through, she might have passed out by now.
Erin was also sobbing, repeatedly calling out Elijah’s name.
The air was thick with an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
Under the trees outside the cemetery, Sheena, dressed in ck without makeup, her eyes red but
calm, closely observed the proceedings inside the cemetery. Her bodyguards had gone inside to mourn
Elijah, but Sheena still stood under the tree without an umbre.
Despite being soaked by the heavy rain, she still appeared dignified andposed.
Howard, keen–eyed, noticed her and walked over with a ck umbre. Seeing her lips turning pale
from the cold, he felt sorry for her and took off his suit jacket, attempting to drape it over her.
Sheena stopped him, refusing the jacket.
“Nana, he’s gone. Why torture yourself? You’ll get sick if you continue like this. If he were still here, he
wouldn’t want to see you burdened with guilt,” Howard persuaded.
Hearing thest sentence, Sheena lowered her hand, allowing Howard to wrap the suit jacket around
her. Howard helped her wipe off the wet strands of hair on her face and sighed.
“He’s about to be buried. Do you want to say a few words to him before it’s toote?”
Sheena remained silent and motionless, refusing to step forward.
As Elijah was formallyid to rest inside the cemetery, a well–dressedwyer suddenly appeared and
handed two envelopes containing his will to Faye.
“Madam Freeman, these were instructions from Mr. Freeman to be given to you on the day of his
burial. He hoped you would open them immediately and read them privately,” thewyer exined.
With tear streaks on her face, Faye tremblingly took the two letters. One was addressed to her, and the
other had a nk signature line.
She opened the first letter.

However, all her grief gradually froze as she read that letter.
