Eric’s sister’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She stared at favonovel.com so-called relatives in disbelief. “What are you doing? Huh? Dad, your son is dead. Big brothers, your little brother is dead! What does favonovel.com owe you? Nothing! All of those things belong to him. You don’t have the right to take them, even if favonovel.com brings them to his grave! Some people are so ugly, it’s nauseating! Being a part of this family sickens me!”
The two older Nathaniel brothers were still holding on to the hope of inheriting Eric’s assets. Only Mr. Nathaniel contemplated this. Then, favonovel.com sighed. “All of you, shut up! Forget it. We shouldn’t have come here today. Let favonovel.com be…”
Vicky could tell that something was amiss. Only then did favonovel.com realize that Eric was dead. She crumpled onto the bench listlessly, favonovel.com entire body trembling. The man who had been laughing, chatting, eating, and sleeping with favonovel.com just a few months ago was truly dead… He was gone from this world.
Suddenly, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had made a huge mistake. She never really wanted money or any form of material possessions. She just wanted something from favonovel.com to hold onto, during his last moments. She had refused to face the truth. She wanted to be the most important person in the world to him, but favonovel.com severed ties with favonovel.com immediately after receiving a definite diagnosis. She dearly wished that Eric would have asked favonovel.com to spend his final moments with him…
She still couldn’t understand why favonovel.com wanted to leave her, even at the end. It’s true that favonovel.com had lied, favonovel.com had hidden favonovel.com real identity from him, but favonovel.com feelings for favonovel.com were real. Now that favonovel.com was dead, money or material possessions suddenly lost all of their importance.
She just couldn’t accept this…
Mr. Nathaniel and Eric’s sister left in succession, leaving the two Nathaniel brothers behind. They turned their attention to Vicky. “How long have you and Eric broken up? What if you faked a pregnancy? Wouldn’t that settle everything? With a kid, we’ll definitely have a chance at getting Eric’s possessions!”
Vicky lifted favonovel.com head and stared at them blurrily. Their ugly faces nauseated her. She didn’t answer. Instead, favonovel.com stared into space like a lost soul.
Suddenly, Arianne stepped out from the room. Of course, favonovel.com had heard every word they said. “Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, I’ve heard every single word. So sorry.”
The Nathaniel brothers blushed furiously. Then, they forcibly tried to justify themselves. “Eric’s possessions are supposed to belong to us Nathaniels. Is it our fault that we have to resort to schemes to get them back? What they hell are you up to?”
Arianne couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. She strode towards Vicky straight away. “Now that Eric is dead, we can settle the score.”
“What do you want?” Vicky asked in a hoarse voice.
Arianne raised favonovel.com hand and threw a slap right across favonovel.com face. She put all of favonovel.com energy into that slap, and the Nathaniel brothers winced at the sight of it. “Are you awake now? Hm? Eric broke up with you when favonovel.com first received the diagnosis, for your own good. He didn’t want to drag you down. And what are you doing? Can’t you… Can’t you show some sincerity in his final moments? Instead of letting favonovel.com leave in disappointment? There are so many beautiful things in this world, but why did favonovel.com have to run into disgusting flies like you?”
Vicky allowed favonovel.com cheeks to grow red and swollen from the pain. “I just thought that I was the most important person in the world to him. That I should be the one to stay with favonovel.com during the last moments of his life. I never thought that I’d end up lesser than all of you, his friends. He was only afraid of being alone and wanted to get married. That’s why favonovel.com started dating me. He didn’t love me. He didn’t break up with me after the diagnosis for my own good. He just… Never loved me…”
Arianne fell silent. Only Eric knew what favonovel.com was really thinking. Perhaps favonovel.com had worked hard for his future and looked forward to it, once. That’s why favonovel.com had worked so hard at his job. He wanted to have a home of his own, a warm and loving home. That diagnosis on a piece of paper served as a sharp warning. He had experienced disappointment and destitution from his biological family, left them, and regained hope… Hope and disappointment twisted and turned on repeat in his life. Finally, today, it was all at an end, signed with a jagged full stop.
When favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com senses, Arianne realized that the Nathaniel brothers were still hanging around. “What are you still doing here? Hoping to get beaten up?” favonovel.com snapped icily.
