No matter where it was, as long as she could sleep, or get some shut-eye, it would be fine.
The night was so black, so dark, so heavy, and so quiet. As moonlight shone in through the windows, it coated the walls and bed sheets in the ward in a dazzling white.
Lying beside Summer was Solomon's cold body.
She was not afraid, not at all. It was her dad. Why would she be afraid?
Mark did not sleep at all. He had gone to Daisy's ward once, but she had not woken up, still unconscious.
The next morning, Daisy woke up and went to see Solomon. She was heartbroken and could not stop crying.
Solomon had been her husband for decades. They had gone through many trials together. Now that he was gone, how could she not be distraught?
Summer had a haggard face, sunken eyes, and chapped lips. She reached out to hold Daisy, but Daisy pushed her away. There was a sense of resentment in Daisy's eyes.
Her lips were quivering, and her body trembling. She could see the resentment in her mom clearly and so
she did not dare to approach her, not even making a step closer.
Solomon’s death had hit Daisy hard. She was so sad that her body could not cope and she fell ill.
Imagine how anyone could cope without eating and drinking, and was crying the entire day.
While Daisy had fallen ill, Summer was still holding o n, barely mustering her last bit of strength to stay awake as she had to handle Solomon’s funeral and watch his cremation.
Summer still refused to let go, as if she had gone crazy. Daisy raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
Mark was at his wits' end at how he could lessen her sorrow. If there was a way, he would do anything for her.
Handfuls of earth were dropped onto the urn until it was covered in the ground completely. Daisy was crying so sadly that she fainted again.
Daisy was carried away, and relatives and friends had also left, leaving Summer slumping down to the ground in front of the tombstone.
The weather was still fine a while ago, but now the wind was blowing and dark clouds had gathered. Minutes later, the heavens opened and water hammered down.
Summer was soaked to the skin, looking like a mess. But she ignored all this and opened her bag to take out the contents inside.
