Chapter 685 - The Plain White Cloth (3)

"Mom!" Emily rushed over.

Donna's eyes were deeply closed. She had already been unconscious.

The guards outside rushed in when they heard the noise. The doctor who was nearby also rushed over quickly. Donna was placed on the bed. Her face was calm with a faint smile.

After the doctor finished checking, he shook his head at the people present.

Jackson had just come back. Seeing this, he burst into tears. Donna was the one he wanted to take care of for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, she had met the wrong person in the past. After that, she was busy repenting to Emily. In the end, she had not lived even one day for herself in this life.

When the doctor covered Donna with the plain white cloth, Emily stood at the door with the little puppy in her arms. Her look was dull. She did not cry, but just stood there expressionlessly. Kamron could not bear it. He gently turned her shoulder and said, "Don't look."

Emily, however, still stubbornly turned back to look. Several people took Donna away, leaving only that piece of white cloth in Emily's eyes.

Donna's funeral was very simple.

Ferne, Noah, and Randy all attended. Half a year ago, they had just attended Maury's funeral. They had never expected that in just half a year, they would also attend Emily's mother's funeral.

After learning that Emily's mother had passed away, Emma delayed her wedding date until October. Sydnee and Lynn were busy entertaining other guests. Eliot was holding a crutch to complete the handover of Donna's will with the lawyer. He helped Emily take the house and property that Donna had left for her. The property was more than one million. It was given to Donna by Maury, who felt guilty and made up for Donna. In the end, she had left all of it to Emily.

Janessa had long been able to move freely, but she still needed to take care of her heart and lungs. On such a hot day, she could not eat ice cream or drink cold drinks. Besides, she also could not stand in front of the air conditioner. She had always been asked to stay at home and never came out. It was not easy for her to leave the house, and she hadn't expected that such a thing would happen. She said a lot to Emily, but Emily did not respond. There were a lot of people in the room, and there were noisy voices everywhere. Emily was just sitting at the corner of the soft alone with the little puppy in her arms, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

Suddenly Vincent came to hold her into his arms. His unique breath wrapped around her. The clear smell of the aftershave water, mixed with the fragrance of the shower gel, slowly made her regain her consciousness.

Vincent carried her out of the room. The sun was setting, and half of the sky was red. Vincent just carried Emily and kept walking.

The roadside was full of unknown flowers and weeds. The cicadas on the trees were chirping, and the sound of frogs could be heard at the end of the road. The summer heat still had not yet subsided. They felt that even their hearts were warmed up.

A warm wind blew, bringing them the scent of dirt. Vincent finally stopped. He took off his suit jacket and spread it on the ground. Then, he placed Emily on it.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

Emily did not say anything. She just sat there and looked at the green lawn in front of her. Further ahead was a row of dandelions. The breeze blew, and the little dandelions fluttered in the wind. The fingernail-sized flowers bloomed quietly in the grass. The small flowers were tightly clustered together with a bright color.

Behind them, the guards handed over a basket that contained some sandwiches and bread. There was also a set of sushi and two cups of ice cream. In addition, there were also several bags of snacks, shrimp and French fries. All of them were favored by Emily. These guards had observed a lot of girls who went to the convenience store. Then, they decided to buy these kinds of food.

"Eat something." Vincent handed the sandwich over.

Emily reached out and took it. She put it in her mouth and took a bite, and soon another bite. She didn't begin to chew until her mouth was full. Her cheeks were bulging, like a hamster.

"Take a sip," Vincent said as he handed the drink over.

Emily took a sip of the drink from his hand.

As the sun set, the two sat side by side. A few birds flew past them, leaving behind the birdsong.

Vincent reached out his thumb to wipe the crumbs off her lips and asked in a low voice, "When did you wake up?"
