"Gosh! I don't know what to do with you. You're just like a child!" The seven-year-old little girl felt that she was already an adult.
"Hahaha. Aino is now like an adult." Sean was already fawning over Aino at that moment.
Sean then moved into the rooftop garden on the highest floor. He was staying near his son and daughter-in-law, and he also was able to meet his granddaughter and grandson every day. Therefore, his mood also became better. From time to time, he would visit Summer's grave, and he would be there for a whole afternoon whenever he went over. He would mutter to himself, "All of you have passed away. However, I am still alive instead. I could see my grandchildren and I could still stay with my son and grandchildren. Why do I deserve this? Suddenly I feel that staying alive is suffering to me. Sometimes, I feel it's not always a good thing for someone to stay alive. I am able to keep living, but I have to watch all of you being laid to rest here every day and night. I am suffering, Grace, Holden. I...will come to clean your grave and plant flowers for you every month. Say something, Grace...in the next life or maybe one day when I have also gone over to the other side, just let prostrate myself at your feet and be your servant for life, alright?"
The grave was very silent. No one answered Sean's words. After Sean left the cemetery, he went to the psychiatric hospital.
When he arrived at the psychiatric hospital, the director of the hospital and also the doctors would have a mutual understanding and would directly take him to Rose's single ward.
The wall, the room, and the bed and covers were all white. The medical staff who came to take care of Rose every day would do their routine checks and leave after they had delivered food for her. Other than the three meals a day, Rose did not even have a person to talk to at all. Sometimes, she would feel that she was going crazy. She had even thought of hanging herself. It was too torturing. Therefore, when Sean visited her every time, she would always tear at Sean while covered in tears as she wanted Sean to take her away from there.
"Sean, I've always been doing it for the Ford family! Everything that I had done was for the Ford family! What exactly have I done wrong? My sons are all dead already, and yet, I still have to be punished like this?" Rose said, crying.
Sean was in tears.
"Rose, I am at fault. You are also at fault. The ones who did nothing wrong and were innocent were Grace and also my poor son, Holden, who are both now in the heavens. Back then, we truly had done incredibly heinous things for the sake of expanding the Ford family. What has Grace done wrong? What has my son, Holden, done wrong? Both you and I have to atone for our sins. Don't be upset anymore, Rose." 1
"Sean, we are a couple. We're a couple for life!" Rose roared.
Sean smiled miserably. "Couple? If there's a next life, I don't wish for us to be a married couple anymore. We've been a married couple for life, but you let all three of our sons join hands together to stab Grace and I's son in the back. What if Sebastian died eight years ago? Grace would then have to be imprisoned for life. I came to understand very well later on why Grace deceived us and put Holden on Star Island. She wanted to give her child a glimmer of hope to live. My wife, how vicious you must have been? If there is another life, let's never see each other anymore," said Sean. After that, Sean handed something to Rose in secret.
When it was at the dead of night, Rose opened up that small piece of thing and it was unexpectedly a blade i n there. It was a sharp blade like an actual razor.
That night, Rose smiled. "Sean, thank you. Thank you!"
