1. Forever Gone

As Emily was still sobbing, Louis was pouting. Even though the mourners had left, both of them were reluctant to go home.

“Little Angel, can you stop crying? Great Grandpa must be sad looking at you from up there. You want him to rest in peace, right?” Kara rubbed Emily’s cheek then stroked Louis’ shoulder. Their eyes were already swollen.

However, instead of subsiding, Emily’s cries only got louder. Even

Louis started to whine.

“Why did he die so soon, Mommy? He just changed. He should be having fun with us, not buried like this. Now, how can we cross out the point in the guidebook? Great Grandpa is gone. He can no longer accompany me and Emily everywhere.”

Louis faltered. His shoulders shook violently. However, he still wanted to go on. “In fact, I already planned to add more points to the list.

With a gloomy face, Jeremy rubbed his brother’s shoulder. He knew very well how much Frank loved Rowan.

Even though Frank often harbored annoyance to his grandfather, Rowan was the one who accompanied Frank from time to time. Those two people were like two poles in one magnet. They never met but always together.

“Frank,” Jeremy whispered, giving him a light, encouraging pat.

However, Frank shook his head, refusing any consolation. “It’s my fault, Jeremy. If only I’d forced him to come eat with us….” He swallowed like it was a rough gravel.

“If only I had insisted on solving all the problems yesterday afternoon, the accident wouldn’t have happened. Grandpa would still be with us.”
