Chapter 229
You Hit My Heart
Luther's handsome face was also tinged with a hint of sorrow, "I agreed
they could have an autopsy, I used some connections, and the report
will come out today. So ..."
He took a deep breath and said in a sorrowful voice, âI think the funeral
will be held the day after tomorrow at the latest. It's better for Grandma
to be buried early."
âI'm going.â
When she heard that Grandma had to undergo an autopsy after her
death and there was no peace for her after death.
Her heart ached, even her breathing became difficult, and the hand that
tugged at his arm slipped slowly and feebly.
When she was about to let go, he steeply held her hand, his warm palm
wrapped around her hand, as if giving her strength.
Joyce slowly raised her head and looked at him with eyes that were
incomparably serious and full of earnestness.
"The funeral, I must go. I know your mother, your sister, and maybe
others certainly don't want me to go. But, I must go to see Grandma off
one last time. Please!"
If it weren't for that reason, she wouldn't even want to be released on
bail. She certainly wanted to walk out of the detention center after she
got rid of all those charges.
âI know. Don't worry," He patted her hand gently.
At that moment, Aaron knocked gently on the door outside.
"President, I've got everything you need for you. Can I get in now?"
"Yes," Luther instructed.
Joyce shrank back under the covers, covering herself all but her little
face. She was still wearing Luther's shirt, after all.
Aaron opened the door to the room and he was carrying several bags
in his hands.
He placed the bags on the floor, not far from Joyce's side, and took the
things out one by one.
"President, here are the clothes and shoes and pajamas, all bought
according to your order. The screen of Maâam's cell phone is broken,
this is a new cell phone. This is the medicine Jamie brought over this
morning to prevent the wound from getting infected and inflamed, and
Ma'am was instructed to take it on time twice a day."
Aaron placed the medication neatly on Joyce's bedside table, and then
a bottle of water, and a glass.
"Here's the food, sandwiches, cookies, bread, and some snacks.â He
took all the food out as well and placed them in order on the bedside
table.
âI'l be back as soon as I can. If I can't make it, I may not be back until
this afternoon. You can just eat them. Call me if there's an emergency.â
Luther instructed.
"Well, it's okay, I feel much better. I can do simple things on my own.
Don't worry about me." Joyce said. She knew that Luther had just
gotten back from Mufron, and with the sudden death of her
grandmother, there must be a lot to deal with.
It's really hard for Aaron to buy so many things and serve her like a
nanny.
"What's this?" Joyce reached out and pointed to a small bag mixed in
with a pile of items.
Judging from the outer packaging, it should be jewelry inside, so she
asked curiously.
Aaron went up and rummaged around and found the little bag and
brought it to Joyce and handed it to her, "I'm not sure, it was from
President's luggage. President, what is this?"
Luther glanced at it and looked instantly embarrassed.
This was the necklace he bought for Joyce before he went to Mufron.
The necklace was called "Wheel of Fortuneâ, and he never had the
chance to give it to Joyce.
