A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 458

It was nighttime. Mark only entered the ward after everyone had left. Ms. Moore's body had already been placed in the mortuary refrigerator.

He just sat next to the mortuary refrigerator and stared at Ms. Moore. She appeared to be serene and calm. However, she would never call him "Mark” or act with a child-like demeanor toward him anymore.

Ms. Moore enjoyed being goofy and childish around Mark. She loved him the most. Ever since he was young, she would save up all the good food for him. She would only bring them out once he was in Norwood.

It seemed that she had done it for such a long time that it became a habit. Even when he was over 20 years old, that habit of hers never changed at all.

Every time she opened her mouth to speak, it would always be, "Our dearest Mark." She would always talk about him. Therefore, none of the servants who worked for her would have no idea that she had a grandson named Mark.

From now on, there would not be anyone who acted like an old child, whining, goofing around, or complaining that he never visited her.

Yet, as long as Mark delighted Ms. Moore with pleasing words, she would be over the moon to the point where she would forget about everything else. Her face would beam with joy, and she would be in high spirits.

The most important person in his life had now left him.

Mark extended his hand into the mortuary refrigerator and slowly caressed her face and hands. His whole body was stiff from him suppressing his emotions. The green veins on the back of his hands were extremely protruded. Yet, he did not dare to exert any force for fear of hurting her.

He never ever imagined that Ms. Moore would abruptly leave him like that. If he could turn back time, he would accompany her and stay by her side when she was still around.

Suddenly, he thought of something. He moved his hand and took a picture out of his wallet. It was Charlotte's picture.

"Didn’t you used to pester for great-grandchildren? This is a picture of your great-granddaughter.

Grandma, your great-granddaughter would be upset that you didn't buy candies for her..."

It was just that, now, she could not hear anything or see anything...
