Chapter 955


    After the entourage of ck luxury cars left the airport, they sped all the way.


    Finally, the cars stopped in front of parlor No.1 at Municipal Funeral Home.


    All sorts of ck luxury cars were parked in the parking lot.


    There were whitenterns hung all around the courtyard where the funeral was held.


    The sky seemed gray and dull.


    It was as if the entire world was shrouded in a haze.


    The door of the parlor was wide open.


    X Quest could clearly see Emily Quest and May Conner’s coffins surrounded by arge pile of


    wreaths.


    There were also countless wreaths ced neatly by both sides of the parlor’s entrance.


    There were also ck-and-white photos of the both of them smiling widely on the wall behind the


    coffins.

    Jeremy Quest was sitting motionless in front of their coffins. He seemed to be hunching a little from


    behind. It was as if he had suddenly aged by a few years.


    All the Quest family’s close friends and family members were here. Right then, some of them were


    lining up to pay their respect while others kneeled next to Jeremy to console him. Some stood on


    both sides as they cried continuously with their heads down.


    Once upon a time, X used to argue and fight with Emily and May. But now, these two had died


    just like that.


    X felt that life was very fragile.


    Everything that happened between these two women and X years ago was still fresh in X’s


    mind.


    Stanley Batton held X’s hand gently. “Are you alright?” he asked.


    “Yeah… I’m fine. I’m just worried about Dad. He sounded very emotionally unstable over the


    phone,” X said.


    “Time will wash away the scars in his heart,” Stanley said.


    With that, Stanley naturally hugged X by her shoulder.


    X let out a long sigh and nodded. “Let’s get out of the car,” she said.


    Very soon, the bodyguards opened their doors for them.


    The two of them quickly got out of the car and walked side by side into the funeral parlor.


    When people in the funeral parlor saw the two of them had arrived, they suddenly shifted their


    gazes to them.


    X ignored everyone else around. She directly walked with Stanley to Emily and May’s coffins to


    pay their respects.


    After that, the two of them walked over to Jeremy.


    By then, Jeremy’s eyes were red from crying. He didn’t say a single word, and he seemed


    extremely aggrieved.


    X immediately kneeled, stretched out her arms, and naturally pulled Jeremy into her arms.


    “Dad… I’m sorry for your loss…”


    Jeremy nodded with reddened eyes.


    X didn’t say anything more. Instead, all she did was silently hug him.


    She understood how much grief Jeremy was feeling right now.


    Regardless of how Emily and May behaved, they were still Jeremy’s family. He couldn’t possibly not


    be sad about their deaths…


    This was especially the case for Emily, who was born of his blood and flesh.


    It must have felt terrible for Jeremy to have to bid farewell to his daughter.


    “Dad, I’m sorry. I wasn’t by your side during your saddest moment…” X said.


    “Silly girl, what’s there to be sorry for? Things happened so suddenly. You couldn’t have been able


    to predict it.” Jeremy’s voice already sounded hoarse.


    Just as Jeremy finished speaking, Tom Sullivan wheeled Julian Sullivan into the funeral parlor. They


    were apanied by Bailey Ronson, Tony Sullivan, and Mary Sullivan.


    The entire family was wearing ck outfits.


    Each one of them had somber expressions on their faces. They all looked sorrowful.


    However, X knew very well that, apart from Mary, everyone else’s expression of grief was all


    fake.


    They went to pay their respects before gathering around Jeremy to offer him words of condolence


    funereally…
