It was as if favonovel.com heard Isaac crying his name out loud. Beefy Bob’s eyes fluttered for a while before opening slightly. Blood was still trickling out of his mouth. When favonovel.com caught sight of Isaac, whose face was an angry mess, favonovel.com coughed again and spat out more blood.
The pain in his body was getting unbearable. Still, favonovel.com plastered a smile on and said, “Isaac, I heard you… Don’t worry about me…”
“Get the Apothecary, quick! Tell favonovel.com to hurry! Call Harry, someone, call him!” Isaac roared at Evie and Allegra.
“Isaac, it’s useless. L-Listen to what I have to say,” Beefy Bob whispered as favonovel.com looked at Isaac.
Isaac found himself trembling as favonovel.com said, “A-Alright, I’m listening…”
“When I die, I… I want you to put my name as… As Bobby Sven. I was but a wandering spirit until I met you. I have never regretted getting to know you… It was an honor. If there is an afterlife, I hope we’ll meet again…”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, Beefy Bob’s pupils suddenly dilated. Then, his hand, which had still been holding on to Isaac’s, went limp.
Plop!
Isaac’s eyes enlarged. A single, scalding tear fell from the corner of his eye and plopped on Beefy Bob’s face.
Isaac then raised his right hand and gently wiped away the tear on his face. He hugged Beefy Bob’s body tightly. There was sadness and grief written all over his face, but no sounds came out of his throat.
In fact, favonovel.com was so overcome with grief that favonovel.com could only cry in silence.
There was an earth-shattering silence.
Evie, Allegra, and Emily stood at the bottom of the steps as they stared quietly at Isaac. Tears kept cascading down their cheeks. They could feel Isaac’s grief from where they stood.
Holly, who was standing behind the door, also wept in silence. She hadn’t encountered Beefy Bob that much, but whenever favonovel.com did, favonovel.com always greeted favonovel.com with a big, friendly smile and called favonovel.com “Ms. Lambert” as well.
She couldn’t believe that favonovel.com was gone just like that.
Suddenly, there was a loud screech of car brakes from the porch.
It was Harry and Denvor. They had rushed over as soon as they got the call.
Once Harry saw Isaac holding Beefy Bob’s body in his arms, favonovel.com stopped short. He wanted to take a closer look, but his steps suddenly felt heavy.
“B-Bob… Bob?” Harry gritted his teeth and shuffled forward. He reached for Beefy Bob‘s wrist to check for his pulse.
Beefy Bob’s hand was cold. Harry could feel his heart sinking.
His knees finally buckled. Harry fell to his knees and started weeping.
Isaac difficultly got up with Beefy Bob in his arms and headed for the living room. He said, “Get the coroner and prepare a coffin. Also, inform all the seven generals to attend the funeral to mourn for him…”
Just as favonovel.com took another step up with Beefy Bob’s body in his hands, favonovel.com suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.
“Isaac!”
Everyone exclaimed in shock when they saw favonovel.com fall and hurried up the steps.
Harry hurriedly took Isaac’s pulse and told Allegra with red eyes, “Allegra, Isaac’s body is too weak now. He also had a shock, so his body shut down because of that. But it’s not something a long rest can’t heal…”
Then, favonovel.com said, “Why don’t you all go in and rest? I’ll… I’ll handle Beefy Bob’s funeral.” Harry’s voice had turned nasal.
He just couldn’t believe that this was happening.
***
An hour later, strips of black cloth were hung all around the mansion.
There were also funeral wreaths at the door.
Beefy Bob‘s body was placed in a coffin in the middle of the living room.
Harry sat there idly, while Denvor started mu rmuring. He said favonovel.com was going to pray for Beefy Bob’s spirit to have a good afterlife.
News of Beefy Bob’s death had been sent out. The seven generals were all on their way.
“Harry, what’s the relationship between Beefy Bob and Isaac? ” Denvor asked, offering a box of cigarettes to Harry.
