Chapter 881 The Passing of Lindsay
Selena’s face turned redder than an apple. Is this supposed to be a moment? She tried to distract herself by looking at the time, then she realized it was already ten. Oh my god. “We’re late!” She jumped out of bed quickly, since there was a lot to do on the day after the new couple’s wedding.
Pierre took his sweet time getting out of bed, much to Selena’s annoyance. In the end, she had to nag him incessantly before they finally came down, but everyone was already there. Not to mention Savannah was already done with the tea ceremony when they came down. Awkward, Selena thought. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Looks like the couple’s still going sweet even though they have four children now,” Jocelyn teased. Selena stared down in embarrassment, but Pierre didn’t mind, or he didn’t care.
Two days later, death finally came knocking for Lindsay, and everyone stood around her deathbed. Lindsay looked at everyone long and hard, as if trying to sear their faces into her memory.
Then she called her son and Jocelyn over, and to everyone’s surprise, she started speaking, though it might just be terminal lucidity at work. “I’ve been hard on you ever since you married into our family. Now that I’m dying, I would like to apologize for what I did. The family is in your hands now.”
Jocelyn started crying. “It’s fine, mother. We’re a family.”
Lindsay nodded at her, smiling. “Please don’t turn out like me. Be nice to your daughter-in-law. Reuben, you’re my only son, so keep the family safe, you hear me?”
“Yes, Mom.” Lindsay summoned the newlyweds over next. “My time is up, Jason. I like you the most out of everyone, and make sure you treat Savannah well. She’s a good girl.”
“I will, Grandma. Don’t worry.” Lindsay took a piece of jade out from under her pillow and stuffed it in Savannah’s hands. “I never got the chance to give you anything for the wedding, so take this.”
Savannah took it from her. “Thank you, Grandma.” And finally, she called Selena and Pierre over. When they came up to her, Lindsay held Selena’s hand, crying. “I have no regrets left but you, Selena. I can’t believe I once bought into that witch’s lies and almost killed you.”
“It’s alright, Grandma. It’s all in the past now. Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Selena was also crying.
Lindsay nodded. “Of course, of course.” She took another piece of jade from under her pillow and handed it to Selena. “I bought this when your mother was still a young lady. I’ve always wanted to give it to her child, and now I can. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, Selena.”
“I’ve never blamed you, Grandma.” Lindsay looked at everyone one last time, smiling. Then, she waved at them. Jerry knew what she was trying to do, so he sent everyone out.
In the end, he was the only one to walk the final stretch of her journey with her. He knew she didn’t want everyone to see the moment she passed to the other side of the bridge.
“I’ll be there soon. Please wait for me for a while longer.” Jerry held her hand. Lindsay beamed one last time, and her smile was as beautiful as he had seen on the day they met. The old lady passed away peacefully, her regrets finally patched up.
Selena and Pierre were about to go home after the funeral, since they had been away for too long. Before they took their leave, Savannah came to see Selena. “How are you guys doing?”
