"But I shouldn't have met Ethan. Considering that I've been through a lot with him, I should've... kept a distance from him." Catherine's face was streaked with tears. "What's more, he called me this morning and didn’t show up later, yet I forgot about it. I should've asked him..."
Shaun lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on her face. "Even if you had asked him, you wouldn't have been able to change anything. Something had already happened to him then.
Moreover... At this point, I think you don't quite know why he was met with an accident yet. You should wait for the results of the investigation. Are you planning t o pay your last respects to him? Let me send you to the funeral parlor."
"... Okay."
With his gentle words of consolation, Catherine slowly regained her composure.
Indeed, she had to at least find out the cause of Ethan’s accident.
"I'll send you there."
Shaun carried her to the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for her.
Along the journey, Catherine gazed out of the window without saying a word. All her memories with Ethan were running through her mind. The more she thought about them, the more terrible she felt.
Only after she arrived at the funeral parlor did she whisper to Shaun, "You'd better go back. The Lyons family members are probably here, so it might not be good for you to attend the funeral."
"Mm." Shaun passed her the car keys and said gently," If there's anything, you can call me immediately. Take care of yourself. Don’t let anyone bully you."
Catherine nodded casually. Due to her mind which was in a mess, she could not be bothered to think about anything else.
As soon as she entered the parlor, she spotted Wesley's somber expression. Mr. Lowe had come all the way from Melbourne. The Lowe family, the Lyons family, and the Steele family were all present with sorrowful expressions.
