The Heath family.
Charlotte had been in an unusually irritable mood since Jacqueline and Shelly's arrival yesterday.
Ricky went out on an errand, and she knew he must be there to handle the follow-up. Although she trusted his ability, she was still worried.
Cecelia and Rodney returned to the Heath family from the Capital yesterday afternoon and, upon learning of Stephanie's accident, took Charlotte with them to the mourning hall set up by Luther in the city to pay their respects and send a wreath of sympathy.
There were many people who went to offer their condolences, and the scene was so big that wreaths were placed all over the aisle and hall.
Rodney and Stephanie were of the same generation. Although he was old, the two families had been close friends, and he went to the mourning hall to offer his condolences in person. When he returned, he was overwhelmed with sadness and locked himself in his room, sulking for half a day and not talking.
Cecelia was also very sad and complained that she did not visit Stephanie in time, and when she wanted to see her, it had been something impossible.
The entire the Heath family had been in a low-pressure atmosphere since yesterday.
It made Charlotte very uncomfortable.
She knew that today was the day Stephanie was buried.
She didn't see Joyce at the city cemetery yesterday, nor did she see Luther, and she guessed that Joyce would be going to the cemetery today to see Stephanie one last time. The thought of Luther taking Joyce to a funeral where only a very few close relatives can go. She was extremely jealous.
In Luther's heart, he already considered Joyce as the closest person.
Charlotte sat on the living room couch, her eyes focus-less, her mind drifting, doing nothing.
She simply turned on the TV and flicked through it aimlessly.
She switched channels at random.
Suddenly, the TV screen showed a live broadcast of a funeral.
