My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1304

Yes, those who had no hope of living were the ones suffering the most.

When the car arrived at the airport, Sonia's parents had arrived. I hadn't seen them both for a very long time, and their faces were full of wrinkles. Looking at them, I felt a little distressed. One after another, they had sent away their loved ones. The two elders had endured most of the sorrow that most people might not see during their lifetime.

Seeing Hendrix and me, Sonia's mother, who might have already used up all her tears, looked at me with a smile. "Mrs. Roberts, thank you so much. We will never be able to pay you back for this favor." I shook my head and looked at her. "Please, don't think so much. Get in the car!"

Rita's ashes were in the arms of Sonia's father. The old man was not good at words. He did not say a word, but held the box containing his granddaughter's ashes tightly. As I saw that, I started tearing up. The car drove to the graveyard of Sandall Mount. The old couple hadn't rested well for a long time, and their faces were full of fatigue.

I had initially wanted to bring the both of them for a meal, but from the looks of it, I knew that they would not be able to eat anything. I sighed and gave up.

At the Sandall Mount cemetery.

It was the largest graveyard in Jarold City, where a few square meters was worth a thousand dollars. The old couple got out of the car and headed for the grave.

Hendrix and I followed them. Eason's gambling addiction had left them with no relatives. In addition to Rita's illness, the only people who could send her off were the two grey-haired elders.

The lonely and desolate funeral was filled with neither a continuous stream of people nor flowers. There were only two old people who had nothing left.

I couldn't continue watching. I looked at Hendrix and said, "Can we have someone send stuff over? It's her last journey. I want her to leave happily."

I didn't know if ghosts or gods existed, but I knew that the old couple had spent all their fortune on Rita's treatment. They wanted to give her the best they could offer, but at this moment they had nothing left. Hendrix nodded and left to make a phone call.

The cemetery caretakers arrived at Rita's burial place. When they saw that the old couple were the only two relatives present, they were slightly surprised. But they did not ask questions. In such a place, maybe they had seen all this too many times. Maybe they were accustomed to it.

Before long, the people of the funeral house arrived at the cemetery, and the process and customs of the burial were all done on behalf of the elderly. Sonia's mother was apologetic, and kept looking at me in appreciation. She wanted to say something, but seemed to stop on second thought.

I smiled lightly and comforted her, signaling that it was okay as long as the child left happily.

Although it was only a child's burial ceremony, after the ordeal, the sky gradually became dark. Sonia's father squatted in front of the small tombstone, with a lonely face. Sonia's mother raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "Dear, let's go home. Rita will accompany Sonia. They are not alone anymore!"

The old man seemed to have no words. He brushed the tears from his eyes and said, "Well, since they are together now, at least they can live well without us."

After coming out of the cemetery, the old couple were embarrassed to take our car home. They said that they wanted to wait for public transport. The cemetery was far from the city area, and it was already dark out. Hendrix and I naturally could not let them wait alone here.
