Sylvia's POV:
Warren wailed miserably. I had never seen him break down like this. Even when he had fallen off the cliff in the forbidden forest and was severely injured, he hadn't shed a single tear.
He looked awful and had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Fortunately, Flora was with him, which would give him some comfort.
Owen and Edwin were also in the same state. Edwin seemed to suddenly have aged ten years, with grey hair sprouting all over his head. He stood behind Owen, not speaking a word. He just stared blankly out the window, as if his soul had already departed with Leonard.
Standing next to me, Rufus gently held me in his arms, his face lined with worry. Perhaps he was afraid that I would lose control of my emotions as well.
I shook my head subtly, indicating that I was fine. My throat felt sore and my eyes were dry. I knew I had no more tears left to shed.
In the second half of the service, the priest asked everyone to bring flowers to Leonard's coffin in turn to pay our respects.
In the middle of this process, Owen approached Rufus, wanting to discuss something about the burial.
Rufus said a few words to me and left.
I held my flowers and continued to wait in line for my turn.
Soon, it came. Leonard's body was surrounded by flowers. I gently placed the ones I was holding on his chest. As I did this, I noticed that the walking cane I had put beside his hand last night was missing.
I was stunned. I instinctively knew that Alina had taken it away.
My speculation turned out to be correct.
