Standing nearby, Suri Drew immediately nodded her head in agreement, chiming in.

“Yeah, if it were me, I definitely wouldn’t care about a man like that anymore, Mrs. Walker, you’ve done enough, and you mustn’t blame yourself too much for him now.”

Yigol Novak naturally sat in front of them as well.

Although he was not good at comforting others, he would still watch over everyone intently.

To tell the truth, the old woman was indeed feeling very distressed.

Even though she knew that the man hadn’t treated her well in the past, when this happened, she still couldn’t fully accept it.

Under these circumstances, she really didn’t know what to say.

Tears slid down her cheeks and onto the ground, seemingly unstoppable.

Seeing her body continue to tremble uncontrollably, the surrounding people couldn’t help but feel heartache as well.

Mrs. Walker and Suri squeezed her in between them, constantly patting her back.

“It’s alright, it’s over now.”

“Yeah, if he had continued living like this, it wouldn’t be a good thing for him. Since he’s feeling so bad now, that can be considered torture for him too. Now that he’s finally relieved, he must be happier.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mrs. Walker was also continuously offering comforting words.

She truly didn’t want her besties to be trapped in negative emotions over a man who had treated her poorly.

How could the old woman not understand such a simple truth?

She was not foolish, having experienced more than half her life, and understood everything.

After a while, she finally managed to compose herself somewhat.

She slowly lifted her eyelids, looked at the others, and spoke through her sobs.

“I thought…l thought that I might not be too sad when the old man dies, but I didn’t expect myself to be this heartbroken…”

After all, the old man had not treated her well before.

Suri immediately chimed in.

“That just proves that you’re actually a very kind person, Mrs. Walker. Even though he treated you poorly, you have always been helping him, and you haven’t given up on him during the most challenging times.”

“If it were me, I might have been overjoyed after his death, but you are different, you still feel sad.”

That was indeed her true thoughts.

If a man treated her poorly, and then met with an accident, she would undoubtedly be more than happy.

And the sadness felt by the old woman may indeed stem from their long time together, unable to fully accept the reality at once.

Although the old man had treated her poorly back then, they had been together for most of their lives.

And now, it was a matter of life and death.

Mrs. Walker opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she really didn’t know what to say.

Eventually, all she could do was helplessly shake her head and continue patting her friend’s shoulder.

It took a long time for her to fully regain her composure.

“Thank you all for being with me. Actually, after being upset for a while, it doesn’t seem like a big deal anymore.”

Seeing that she had finally braced herself, the smiles finally returned to the faces of Mrs. Walker and Suri.

“That’s good. People sometimes create their own cages and can’t break free from them. As long as you can come to terms with it, all these things aren’t really major issues.”

Suri also felt the same way.

In the past, she had indeed faced such situations, feeling as though she couldn’t escape from them.

Many times, it felt like the sky was about to collapse, and living on seemed pointless.

However, she later realized that all these were nothing but shackles she had imposed upon herself.

Many things were not as bad as they had imagined. If they could think of them in the right way, they wouldn’t matter at all.

Mrs. Walker also quickly nodded her head in agreement.

“That’s right, Suri’s advice is good. You must listen to her, and not allow these emotions to weigh you down again.”

Yigol, noticing that their emotions had improved, could not help but feel happy as well.

From the beginning, he believed that it was all just karma.

Back on the car, he had heard how poorly the old man had treated Mrs. Walker.

And yet, despite that, she continued to care for him so painstakingly all these years and never gave up on him.

His survival until now was all due to her kindness.

That was more than enough.

He was already a very fortunate person.

If it were anyone else, they might have abandoned him long ago. By then, who knew how much suffering he would have endured?

The nurse was waiting nearby all along.

When she saw that their emotions had improved slightly, she finally asked.

“Would you like to take a look…?”

Before she could finish speaking, the old woman immediately lifted her eyelids to look at her and nodded her head.

“I’ll have a look.”

Since the nurse had already suggested it, she could no longer waste any time, and thus led everyone into the room.

As the first to enter, the old woman slowly lifted the white cloth, and looked at the cold face, feeling a mixture of emotions.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

In this situation, she really didn’t know what she should say.

Suri and Mrs. Walker immediately stepped forward to the old woman’s side. They kept a close watch on her, fearing that she would collapse emotionally again.

Fortunately, all she did was silently stare at the person in front of her, without any emotional changes showing on her face. After a good while, she finally turned to look at everyone and said,

“Thank you all for being here. Let’s go home.”

After all, their besties at home were likely growing impatient.

They still didn’t know what was happening outside.

Since the old woman had said this, they could no longer linger.

Once Yigol took care of everything, the driver sent them all back together.

By the time they returned home, it was already dark.

The besties hadn’t slept, instead waiting at home for their arrival.

Upon recognizing their familiar silhouettes, they stepped forward to greet the group.

They had intended to say hello, but upon seeing their friends’ somber expressions, they could tell something was wrong.

They immediately suspected that something terrible must have happened..
