Chapter 515

During summer, the sky was already bright, though the sun had not risen at four in the morning.

It had been the eighth day since the passing of Shandie. Henrick was in the backyard burning joss
paper for Shandie as he mumbled, “Shandie, I’ve come to burn some joss paper for you. You can rest
in peace now. Please guard over our family when you’re up in heaven. Help me earn a big time. Make
sure that Arielle and Vinson have a peaceful marriage. As for your mom, I’ll send someone to bring her
over for her to pay you her last respect.”

Right then, Alfred came over.

“Mr. Southall, breakfast is ready. The car to the crematorium will be here half an hour later. You should
go have some food first.”

“All right.” Henrick nodded before he asked, “Is Mrs. Southall almost here?”

“She should be here soon”

Just when the butler replied, a housekeeper came running over to report, “Mr. Southall, Mrs. Southall is
here.”

Even before Henrick could reply, Cindy’s cry was heard. “Oh Shandie, my dear daughter!”

Henrick turned his head over and saw Cindy in a hospital gown.

Nonetheless, her complexion looked much better as compared to when she was just admitted to the
psychiatric hospital. Even though Cindy had no makeup on, she was radiating positive energy.

Though the sisters of the Moores were born to the same mother, Maureen was much prettier than
Cindy.



Even so, Cindy was still pretty.

Henrick had not seen Cindy for a very long time. His heart leap a beat at the glance of her now.

He gave a cough to recompose himself and went up to help Cindy up. “Stop crying. Shandie will be
upset if

she was to hear you cry. Please be mindful of your health as well.”

Cindy nodded in reply. With tears welling up in her eyes, she tilted her head and leaned it against
Henrick’s shoulders.

Shortly after, tears started flowing down Cindy’s cheeks as she said, “Rick, Shandie has left us. I only
have you left.”

Cindy’s vulnerable look softened Henrick’s heart.

With an arm around her waist and another holding her head, both of them leaned against each other
harmoniously.

Arielle, who just arrived in the backyard, almost vomited her breakfast out upon seeing that scene.

Seeing the two of them, where one was full of suspicion of others and another evil-hearted, hugging
together disgusted Arielle.

Vinson, who came after, was filled with contempt upon seeing that scene too. He then turned to Arielle
and said, “Let’s go greet Aunt Cindy.”

“Okay.” Arielle nodded and went toward them with a smile on her face.

“Aunt Cindy.”



Cindy, who was about to pay her last respect to Shandie, was stunned when she heard Arielle’s voice.

That was because Cindy had mixed feelings toward Arielle, where she hated and feared her. However,
the moment Cindy saw Shandie’s memorial tablet, she did not feel any fear toward Arielle. Instead, her
heart was left with hatred only.

Cindy forced herself to squeeze out a smile as she turned to see Arielle, who was walking toward her,
and said, “Sannie. You’re here.”

Seeing Cindy’s good complexion with blushed cheeks, Arielle smirked.

Seems like Matthias has been taking good care of Cindy. I guess he has been delivering supplements
to her every day. I can’t believe Matthias is so caring.

Arielle’s face remained emotionless as she forced a

smile out and replied, “Aunt Cindy, you’re looking great today! I was even worried that you will lose
weight because of Shandie’s passing. Seems like you’re handling it well.”

Cindy could not bear to put on a fake smile anymore upon hearing Arielle’s sarcasm.

She had no intention of continuing the conversation with Arielle further. Hence, Cindy merely brushed
Arielle off and left toward Shandie’s coffin.
