"Watch out!"
Erica quickly steadied him.
Larkin snapped back to reality and looked back at her.
What he saw was the scene of the yard piled with snow, a scene from his childhood.
His teacher rushed towards him, saying, "Larkin, didn't we say to lift your feet when crossing the threshold? Did you fall again? Let me take a look, are you hurt..."
Larkin felt a sourness in his nose, tears gushing out like a spring.
Erica couldn't bear to see Larkin like this, it was breaking her heart.
She suddenly felt a great regret.
Why did she have to get herself tangled up with Jacob Strand for so long?
If she had ended the relationship earlier, maybe Larkin would have found her sooner, and she could have brought him back earlier.
This way, he wouldn't have so much guilt and regret.
Abbot had given instructions before.
After he passed away, no grand memorial service was to be held, just direct cremation.
On this, the monastery was divided.
But in the end, the Prior decided that they must respect his teacher's wishes.
The next morning, Abbot's body was cremated at the funeral home, and the ashes were brought back by the Prior, and placed in the monastery's graveyard.
On the day of the funeral, after several days of clear weather, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
Larkin and Erica, stood silently in front of the grave, placing the flowers they had bought on it.
The Prior stood to the side, "Larkin, our teacher left you some things, and the scriptures you've been copying since you were little. The teacher had Mary dry it out, take it with you when you leave this time."
"Okay." Larkin nodded lightly.
"Don't blame yourself for the teacher's death," the Prior suddenly added. "It's fate."
