Chapter 1303


    I wanted to ask him something, but before I could speak, he stopped me. "Let''s talk about itter.


    Eat!"


    No talking when eating and sleeping.


    He had always been like this.


    I said ''Okay'', and then drank my soup.


    After breakfast, I was a little slow. I was sitting at the entrance, wearing my shoes. Hendrix went to


    the garage to get the car. My phone rang. It was Sonia''s mother, so I answered the phone, "How


    are you?"


    I felt the tension even before she spoke. Sonia''s mother took a deep breath and said, "Mrs.


    Roberts, Rita passed away yesterday. She said that she wanted to go back to her mother. We


    brought her back to Jarold City today. We have no friends or rtives. The person who was closest


    to her was you. If you have time, Rita''s grandpa and I would like to have you over to send her off."


    There was a buzzing noise in my head. I looked at Hendrix''s car outside the gate and couldn''t say a


    word for a long time.


    Hendrix saw my nk expression. He got down from the car and walked towards me with a puzzled


    look on his face. "What''s wrong?"


    At the same time, Sonia''s mother''s voice came over the phone again. "Mrs. Roberts, are you


    listening?"


    "I am!" I opened my mouth, my voiceing out choked. Hendrix saw that my mood had changed,


    so he lifted me up with a slight frown.


    "She''s going to be buried at Sandall Mount. Rita said that she wanted to lie next to Sonia, next to


    her mom." Sonia''s mother''s voice was a little hoarse. She must have been crying for a few days


    now.


    I sniffed, but my voice was still hoarse and ufortable. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay. We


    will be there in a short while."


    "Thank you, Mrs. Roberts!" On the other end, Sonia''s mother''s voice sounded a little deep and


    choking.


    After hanging up the phone, Hendrix looked at me with concern in his eyes. "What happened?"


    I took a breath and looked at him, "It''s Sonia''s daughter. Her grandparents chose not to continue


    her treatment, and took her to Tubend instead. But on the way, she passed away, and today they


    brought her back to Jarold City to be buried."


    He frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. "Can we go after the hospital?"


    I shook my head. "Let''s go to the airport and send them straight to the cemetery."

    After a moment of silence, Hendrix agreed and nodded. "Alright, I''ll go with you."


    Rita''s sudden departure made me feel that there was no way to ease up. I always thought that


    everything would be fine as long as I persisted.


    But I never thought that thest time I saw her would also be thest time I saw her alive. It showed


    that life really was unpredictable.


    After getting in the car, Hendrix started the engine and held my hands in his. His hands were very


    warm, the warmth seeming to seep through my nerves and even my blood. I nced at him and felt


    a little weak. "That child, I..."


    "As long as you tried your best!" He raised his hand andforted me. "Don''t me yourself. You


    have done all you can, and the rest is all up to fate. That child has not experienced the tempering of


    time. Her time here was always pure. In a way, this is also for the best. The people left behind are


    the ones left in suffering."
