Chapter 1843


    “Watch out!”


    Erica quickly steadied him.


    Larkin snapped back to reality and looked back at her.


    What he saw was the scene of the yard piled with snow, a scene from his childhood.


    His teacher rushed towards him, saying, “Larkin, didn’t we say to lift your feet when crossing the


    threshold? Did you fall again? Let me take a look, are you hurt…”


    Larkin felt a sourness in his nose, tears gushing out like a spring.


    Erica couldn’t bear to see Larkin like this, it was breaking her heart.

    She suddenly felt a great regret.


    Why did she have to get herself tangled up with Jacob Strand for so long?


    If she had ended the rtionship earlier, maybe Larkin would have found her sooner, and she could


    have brought him back earlier.


    This way, he wouldn’t have so much guilt and regret.


    Abbot had given instructions before.


    After he passed away, no grand memorial service was to be held, just direct cremation.


    On this, the monastery was divided.


    But in the end, the Prior decided that they must respect his teacher’s wishes.


    The next morning, Abbot’s body was cremated at the funeral home, and the ashes were brought back


    by the Prior, and ced in the monastery’s graveyard.


    On the day of the funeral, after several days of clear weather, it suddenly started to rain heavily.


    Larkin and Erica, stood silently in front of the grave, cing the flowers they had bought on it.


    The Prior stood to the side, “Larkin, our teacher left you some things, and the scriptures you’ve been


    copying since you were little. The teacher had Mary dry it out, take it with you when you leave this


    time.”


    “Okay.” Larkin nodded lightly.


    “Don’t me yourself for the teacher’s death,” the Prior suddenly added. “It’s fate.”


    That morning, Abbot woke up early, in good spirits, even thinking about going out for a stroll.


    He put on a fresh set of clothes, was about to go out, took a sip of water, but suddenly choked, and


    then he started vomiting blood.


    In the end, the life–saving medicines that Larkin found couldn’t work.


    Larkin remained silent.


    Having been a monk for nearly 20 years, he knew that everything has a cause and effect, but he was


    still filled with guilt.


    The Prior had a lot to deal with, so it was Mary who took Erica and Larkin to get the scriptures.


    “Larkin, Mary and I will wait for you outside the door.”


    Erica gently patted Larkin’s back a few times.


    “Okay.”


    Larkin looked at her and forced a smile.


    After he went in, Erica and Mary sat outside the door together.


    The heavy rain was still pouring down.


    Erica nced at it, then looked at Mary.


    Mary must have liked Abbot a lot too, she had lost weight these few days, her eyes were swollen from


    crying.


    Erica raised her hand to touch her head, “Mary, you’re really amazing, you’ve helped a lot these two


    days, you’re even more capable than me.”


    “Ms. Lawrence, Abbot isn’t in pain anymore, is he?” Mary asked, “Do you think he’s met my parents?”


    Erica’s heart skipped a beat.


    “I guess not.” Mary answered herself, “I really hope not. It’s been so many years, I hope my parents


    have been reincarnated into a good


    family, be happy children.”


    “Of course!” Erica immediately replied, “Mary, you pray so devoutly in the monastery every day,


    umting so much goodness, your parents will definitely be reincarnated into a good family,


    be wealthy and happy children!”


    “Really?” Mary looked at Erica, then the corners of her mouth drooped a little, “Actually, I’m not that


    devout… I’m always secretly cking off!”


    Erica was speechless.


    How should shefort Mary?
