They went to the market that Jaida had mentioned. Before they went out, Jaida told Eden that she and Myra should buy sacrificial offerings respectively to mourn Bethany.
It took Eden nearly three hours to buy everything she needed.
"Eden, have you bought all of them?" Eden was looking down at the list very seriously.
Eden said, "I've bought everything on the list, and there's nothing else we should buy."
"Then let's go home. You've been shopping for a long time, and you must be tired."
"Yeah, I'm a little tired." She had walked for a long time, and her back was sweaty. The wound ached dully, which made her very uncomfortable.
Victor opened the car door and Eden got in.
Then he got in the car and drove home.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Bethany funeral.
Although Victor hated Bethany, he attended the funeral with Eden.
They dressed in black and went straight to the graveyard that Myra had told them.
To Eden's surprise, Jacob was by Myra's side.
They dressed in black clothes as well, and Myra wore white gloves.
Seeing that Eden and Victor were both here, she smiled gratefully, "Eden, thank you for coming!"
Eden did not say anything else and asked, "Where is mom's urn?"
Myra lowered her head slightly and said in a choked voice, "It has been brought in. I'm here waiting for you. Let's go there now."
"Okay!" Eden nodded. Victor picked up the things they had bought, but there was a lot of stuff and he couldn't carry it all. He frowned slightly and planned to go back to fetch it later.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Jacob walking towards him, "Mr. Alwynn, let me carry some for you."
Victor didn't refuse and nodded.
Then, the four of them went to the cemetery.
The cemetery was on the mountain, and the scenery was quite beautiful. It was surrounded by mountains, and the country scene was nice.
As winter approached, the weather was very cold. The four of them walked in the wind.
Eden wore sunglasses. The closer she was to the cemetery, the heavier her mood became. She pressed her red lips tightly.
Since young, she had never been to such a place. The cemeteries here gave her a sad feeling.
Myra hired two workers. Under the command of a middle aged man who wore tunic and trousers, the workers were busily working around the cemetery.
"Mr. Jones." Myra greeted the man in a choked voice.
Mr. Jones looked at her, and then glanced at Victor and Eden.
"Is everyone here?" His tone was peaceful.
Being sent to jail didn't deal her a blow. What had broken her heart was the fact that her husband betrayed her heartlessly.
Watching her husband chatting with the mistress's son happily, she was sunk in the depth of despair.
They had married for several decades and had bridged over so many difficulties, but her husband cheated on her in the end. No one could not bear such a severe blow.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Victor took off his windbreaker, put it on Eden and held her in his arms.
Eden took a look at him and then looked at Bethany's photo before saying, "Victor, let's go."
She didn't say a word to Bethany. When she was really here, she found that she had nothing to say.
Attending her funeral in such a peaceful way had made her very satisfied.
"Okay!" Victor nodded and turned around.
However, Myra suddenly stopped her, "Sister!"
Eden's body suddenly trembled when she heard this.
She turned around and looked at Myra. Under her sunglasses, her eyes were intense.
Myra looked at her with tears in eyes, squeezed out a smile and said in a soft and guilty tone, "I know I'm not qualified to call you like this, because I used to bully you. Since we were young, you've been humouring me in every aspect, but I was not satisfied. So many years have passed. After experiencing so many things, I finally realized that you cherished and loved me so much in the past, and you really regarded me as your younger sister. However, I never treated you as my elder sister. Last time, I called you sister because I had no choice but to borrow money from you. But today, I call you like this sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Moreover, sister, I am sorry for what I have done to you! I should not have hurt you like that. Although it's too late to apologize, I hope that you can forget all the unhappy things and live a happy life in the future." Tears kept running down Myra's face, and she had really realized her mistake.
When Eden called her to ask the address, she thought about many things in childhood. Everything that she had done to Eden was malicious.
