Chapter 363
Emily took Isolde to the cemetery.
Emily pointed at a blank tombstone and said, “This is for Deborah. She left nothing behind, so her grave was empty.
“I was planning to wait until I found you and carried out Deborah’s final wishes before inscribing her name on the stone. But now, it feels right for you to be the one to do it.”
After all, Isolde was Deborah’s only family left.
Isolde stared at the blank tombstone, and her fists tightened involuntarily. “How could there be nothing left?”
She wondered, ‘When someone dies, there should at least be something left, even if it’s just ashes. How could there be nothing at all?’
Emily glanced at the other tombstones and replied, “It’s not just her. All the tombstones here are blank.
“Before they died, they entrusted me with their last wishes that only after I fulfill them will I engrave their names on the tombstones. That’s how I give them closure.”
Emily turned to Isolde and said, “Do you know what Deborah told me before she passed away?”
Isolde stared straight at her, waiting for her to go on.
Emily said, “She wanted me to find her younger sister, Isolde, and tell you she was sorry that she couldn’t go climb Erron Snow Mountain with you.
“She opened a bank card in your name and saved all the money she earned over the years in it. The card is hidden in the ceiling of the kitchen at home, and the password is your birthday.
“She said she never regretted taking you in from the snow, but she did regret bringing you into the bodyguard world, making you live every day on edge.”
Emily continued slowly and firmly, “She said that with your temperament, you would probably rush into getting revenge for her, but that’s not what she wanted for you.
“She wanted me to look after you for her, to see you get married, have kids, have a family of your own, and live a safe and happy life.”
