Chapter 68 Do You Want to Be An Unfilial Daughter
E jumped out of bed and ran to the door without putting on her slippers.
Samuel hurriedly hung up the phone and ran after her, "Calm down." Samuel wanted to stop E from
her frantic running, and lifted her up in his arms.
E jumped off. Despite being barefooted, she didn''t notice how cold the floor was. "How can I calm
down? Didn''t you hear my brother? My parents just died!"
Her parents were gone, and her husband wished to divorce her. Her troubles seemed endless.
She sprinted downstairs, and Samuel followed. He grabbed her arm just as she opened the door.
"Put on your shoes. I''ll take you there."
E couldn''t shake off Samuel''s hold on her arm. She quickly slipped into her shoes and waited for
Samuel to take her to the hospital Eason had mentioned.
In the car.
E was now in a state of utter shock. She muttered, "Eason must have been arguing with Mama and
Papa...That''s why he said that. But he can''t curse them in that way! Eason Bo, you are such an unfilial
son... Samuel, my parents are still all right, aren''t they? Eason was just kidding, wasn''t he?"
Samuel''s heart ached when he saw her like this.
He grasped her little trembling hand, "You have to embrace reality."
Embrace reality? E shivered at the thought.
She was afraid. She was so afraid...
Samuel stopped his car in a rtively empty street, and pulled E close. He held the trembling woman
to his chest. "I''ll be with you."
He''d be with her? E held him tight, "Samuel... I''m by your side... You''re with me... You will always be
here for me, right?" Fear had been gnawing at her since she had heard the news, so much so that her
brain was unable to construct aplete sentence.
Forgetting all past problems, Samuel stroked her long hair and said, "Yes, I''ll always be here." His
presence soothed E.
Samuel took a tissue to wipe her tears, "Don''t cry. Let''s go and see what happened."
When they reached the hospital, Eason was in a ward, eyes zed, sitting in a chair beside the
hospital bed.
On the hospital bedy two bodies, covered in a white sheet from head to toe...
E almost fell to her knees, but Samuel caught her in time.
She didn''t have the courage to go and verify whether they were her parents.
"E, go and have ast look at them. They''ll be put into the morgue soon." Eason looked at his
younger sister, red-eyed, whispering hoarsely, sounding ten years older.
E shook her head. She wouldn''t go. "They are not... Not my parents....I will not...." With that said, she
pushed Samuel away and rushed to the door.
"E Bo!" Samuel raised his voice, and shouted at her, which made E stop. Sheid her trembling
hands on the knob, but found that she couldn''t bring herself to open the door.
Samuel came over, and gently led her back to the hospital bed. "You don''t even want to say a final
farewell to your parents? Do you want to be an unfilial daughter?" Samuel spoke to E while removing
the white sheet.
E saw Jenny''s face first.
She looked abnormally pale. E noticed the scratches, and dried blood on Jenny''s face.
"Mother!" E copsed on top of Jenny. She cried, and shook her mother vigorously.
Samuel pulled her back and locked her in his arms. "E, don''t cry."
E cried for a long time. When her sobbing had reduced to sniffles, Samuel unveiled the other body. It
was Richard, her father.
The shock of seeing her parents was too much for E to bear. Darkness shed before her eyes, and
she fell.
"E? E!" Samuel hurriedly picked up the unconscious E, and rushed outside.
Eason followed, watching Samuel running down the corridor, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor!"
Fortunately, E had only fainted. It was not very serious.
Samuel and Eason sat together on a bench in the hallway. It looked like all life had drained from Eason.

"What happened to mother and father?"
Eason pulled his hair, and repeated what the police said, "ident on the road...collision with a big
truck...They... died instantly."
Eason was so angry, he felt like he could kill the truck driver.
"Drunk driving? Or… "
Eason shook his head. "The police are still investigating. I haven''t been informed yet."
Over the next few days, Eason and E spent every minute at Bo''s House, attending to their parents''
bodies.
Samuel also tried his hardest toe over to help Eason handle funeral rituals.
The culprit had been arrested, and police had concluded their investigation with the cause being drunk
driving.
It was hard to remain angry with the driver. He was raising two children. Eason didn''t im for
By the seventh day, all family members and rtives hade to show their respect. Many who were
not well connected with the family, also attended the funeral rituals to show their respect for Eason and
Samuel.
E had been kneeling in front of her parents'' portrait, watching peoplee and go, numbly nodding
in response to their condolences.
Melody, Vincent, and Vi also came. They brought Jerry with them. E got emotional when she saw
her son.
"Don''t be too sad, child. Your parents would not have wanted you to suffer." Melodyforted E.
This poor girl...
"Yes, grandmother, I see." Samuel had told her that too.
Although Vi was sympathetic to E''s plight, she hadn''t wanted Jerry toe. After a few minutes,
she took Jerry from E''s arms, "Jerry and I will be outside."
Jerry was E''s onlyfort now. She didn''t let go, "Mother, let him be with me for a while, I''ll bring him
to youter."
"Jerry is so young...I don''t want anything sinister to haunt him."
"Vi Yang!" Shouted Vincent, "What the heck are you talking about?"
Vi stared at him in disbelief. Was she wrong? Although unhappy, she dare not refute Vincent. Vi
left the mourning hall.
E could not believe what Vi had implied. She now lost all respect for her mother-inw...
Vincent was a little embarrassed. He tried to exin to E, "E, Vi has different beliefs. Please
forgive her." His wife was generally okay, but she didn''t know how to talk to people.
E tried to smile, "Sure, father." Then she watched Vincent take Melody''s arm, and lead her out of the
mourning hall.
A man appeared at the door. He was dressed in a ck suit and a ck shirt.
He put a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the portrait, and bowed respectfully three times.
"Sum." E was so touched by his act. She greeted him. Since her parents passing, Sum had called
frequently tofort her. She was deeply grateful.
