Chapter 577
“You need to stay strong since he has sacrificed himself just to keep you safe. We need to spend the
rest of our lives together in spite of the challenges awaiting us.”
I nodded since I was of the same idea. “You’re right! We need to stay strong!”
After stabbing myself in the arm more than once, I had sustained quite a serious injury. It took me a few
days until I could move my arms around again.
On the day of Lyle’s funeral, Christopher told me everything and brought me to the cemetery to send
Lyle off for onest time.
I stood afar since I was afraid of approaching the rest of his family, including Sharon. She was the first
to show me some mercy throughout the years. Although it was part of a greater scheme, she was the
first who truly made me feel safe.
It must be tough for her to send the sole sessor of the family, her grandson, off when her son had
long passed on years ago due to an ident. Lyle was the only one she had in mind throughout the
years.
“What am I supposed to do, Christopher? I’m afraid to join them! I’m afraid Grandma is going to take
things out on me since I had brought upon Lyle’s demise!” I stood next to Christopher in fear of startling
the rest.
Christopher grasped my hand and suggested, “You need to send him off since you were the only one
he had in mind during hisst breath. You don’t have to worry since I’m right next to you.”
I mustered my courage and marched in the direction of Lyle’s resting ground. When I was a few feet
away from the resting ground, I heard Wendy wailing hysterically as if she couldn’t care less about
others’ opinions.
“Lyle! How could you leave me? What am I supposed to do without you?”
All of a sudden, I was overwhelmed with guilt. The vicious woman who wouldn’t stop picking on me
throughout the years was no longer my irritating mother-inw.
At that point in time, she was just another heartbroken and sorrowful mother who couldn’t help but
mourn her son’s passing.
Instead of bawling her eyes out, Sharon had her eyes glued to Lyle’s resting ground in silence. She
seemed to have aged over the night since she couldn’t even maneuver around without her wheelchair.
Josephine brought her around in an attempt to pay her final tribute to her grandson.
“Yvonne, how dare you show up in front of us? You were the reason Lyle was dead!” Crystal yelled at
me since she was quite far away from the rest of the Smith family. They were against the idea of having
her around as well. I would’ve returned the favor and yelled at her back in the day! However, am I in a
position to pick on her when I’m the one at fault? She’s merely repeating the truth!
In the end, I lowered my head in guilt and heard themotioning from the rest of the attendees
while marching ahead to pay myst tribute to Lyle. I got the man his favorite lily bouquet and thought
he would’ve loved it.
Staring at the weeping Wendy, I expressed my utmost apology with a bow, “I’m so sorry for your loss!”
“You’re the one who has brought upon his demise! You’re a murderer!” Wendy rushed to my side and
launched a powerful p in my face.
I felt a tingling sensationing from my cheek, but those were nothing aspared to the heart-
wrenching sensation I felt.
“Where’s my son? Stop expressing your apology because it won’t bring him back to me! I want you to
bring him back to me!” Wendy let loose of her emotions and started beating me to a pulp.
Instead of evading her brutal punches, I braced myself through the blows and thought it was not a big
deal if those were the things it would take to bring Lyle back to life.

Holding me in his arms, Christopher turned around and took the serious blow from Wendy on my
behalf.
“Yvonne, you’re just a good-for-nothing! I hate you so much! I want you to bring him back to life!”
Wendy stepped aside to throw a punch at me.
