Chapter 1557

Hearing this, Jamie finally exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding.

She focused on arranging Winnie's funeral, even though the weight of it was almost too much to bear.

The dead take the past and all the pain, mistakes, and regrets with them, leaving behind only memories worth keeping. But the more Jamie remembered, the more it hurt.

Ben had steadied her, calm and supportive. "If you need to cry, just cry. Your sister is gone, and everyone knows how much this hurts."

Jamie shook her head. She had cried enough. Now was the time to stay strong and see the funeral through, to send Winnie off properly.

The funeral lasted a long time, though few people attended. Winnie hadn't had many close connections in life.

Winnie had held onto her feelings for him until the very end. How could he not be here for her funeral?

Jamie's heart began to race with urgency. "Ben, can you contact him? If he comes now, there's still time-" "Jamie, don't worry-"
