Zachary Irwin left the funeral home and went to Maravilla first.
He sat at the Maravilla all day and night, recalling his past with Jane Gardner, and every place he walked, he could clearly recall moments when they either argued or became angry.
Finally, he lay down on their wedding bed with the red cloth in his arms.
Above the bed, still hanging their wedding photo, the photo is P, looks no different from the real thing.
Zachary Irwin thought of the day they were first married as if it were yesterday.
He didn’t miss anything in the room and searched hard for anything related to Jane Gardner, and finally, he settled on the nightstand.
There, there was a notebook and a pen.
Zachary Irwin had seen the notebook in Maravilla, but each time, he had swept past it, never thought of opening it.
At this moment, he opened it by mistake, and saw that it was densely packed with the events of the past three years or so, and his pupils bloomed.
Word by word, side by side, Zachary Irwin spent another whole day reading through the notebook’s contents.
It was clear that everything, all her thoughts, were in the notebook, right in front of him, so why had he never found it in the past?
The notebook was so thick that it was full of news or hobbies related to him, as well as past events that they had crossed paths with.
It was empty for a while, but then picked up again, the latest update, after they decided to get back together.
Zachary Irwin hugged the notebook, he wanted to laugh out loud, laugh at Jane Gardner turned out to love him more than he thought, and after laughing, he wanted to cry.
Why, now, let him know all this? If he could have found out, they might not have had so many misunderstandings and hurts, and Jane Gardner would have been less likely to die?
Zachary Irwin did not answer anyone’s phone for two days, until finally he could not hold out any longer, and then he went back to The Shine.
Zachary Irwin returned to The Shine, he did not talk to anyone, only holding a notebook and a red cloth wrapped in something, who wants to go to him to pick up, he will be anxious with who.
No one knew what was inside the red cloth. Zachary Irwin simply ate a few bites of food, didn’t wash or sleep, just held it and kept talking to it.
Ottilia Amos also went out, The Shine for a while, no one could speak in front of Zachary Irwin.
Everyone could only let him do so.
When Ottilia Amos came back, Zachary Irwin had lost a lot of weight.
“Zachary Irwin, if you are still the grandson of Ottilia Amos, you will stand up to me! It was the next day when Ottilia Amos received the news and rushed back to The Shine.
She pushed open the door, only to see Zachary Irwin’s bedroom as neat and tidy as if no one was there.
And Zachary Irwin, just sitting on the floor holding a ball of red cloth, with dull eyes and a mouth that didn’t know what to say.
Ottilia Amos saw that Zachary Irwin still did not respond, she was so angry that she went forward to take the red cloth off him, Zachary Irwin was immediately anxious, his scarlet eyes, fierce red cloth yanked dead on his chest.
“Good! You are really good! Grandma has raised you for so many years, and you dare to fight with Grandma for a woman! Ottilia Amos was both heartbroken and annoyed at Zachary Irwin for being so unbearable, so she couldn’t do anything about it and turned around and left.
Only, after she left, she asked Nanny Finn to carry the baby to Zachary Irwin’s bedroom as well.
When Zachary Irwin heard the baby’s voice, his eyelids fluttered, but there was nothing else but that reaction.
He could not accept, really could not accept a good living person, and finally became such a little thing.
He did not even believe that the one in his arms was Jane Gardner. On the third day, Zachary Irwin held the red cloth and went to someone to do the identification, but people took Zachary Irwin as a vagrant or crazy, and threw him out.
After all, Zachary Irwin at this time, indeed, unkempt, dull eyes and no difference with a vagrant.
“President Irwin, is it really you?” Alice Cox’s car passed by the roadside, she saw the wretched Zachary Irwin by the roadside, and hurriedly got out of the car to help him up, “I’ve heard about Sister Jane, your condolences.”
Zachary Irwin looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Alice Cox, he pushed her away and turned around to leave.
Alice Cox saw Zachary Irwin leave, her original sad expression disappeared instantly, instead, she turned into a happy laugh, Jane Gardner was finally dead!
Her chance has finally come!
“Alice, auntie has signed Jane Gardner to the cremation, Zachary Irwin did not even see the last side of that bitch, if it were not for you, I would not have listened to that person’s words to rush to the funeral home, this matter, you have to remember auntie good ah.” Shan York after receiving a large sum of money from Gilbert Martinez and rushing to the funeral home to cremate Jane Gardner.
Then she went on a trip all over again.
Now she has just returned, which just remembered to take credit with Alice Cox.
After all, once Jane Gardner died, Alice Cox is likely to sit on the seat of Mr. Irwin’s wife.
Ivel Day she is not able to rely on, can only rely on Alice Cox.
“Auntie, you say, Jane Gardner has been cremated? Zachary Irwin has not seen the last side?” Alice Cox watched Zachary Irwin’s back disappear around the corner, then remembered that he was holding a red cloth, instantly understood.
“Yeah, I signed it myself. You can rest easy this time.” Shan York smiled coldly, her voice full of pleasure.
She didn’t know why Gilbert Martinez was in such a hurry to get her to sign for Jane Gardner’s cremation, but she also wanted to make Jane Gardner disappear from this world sooner.
Now, the thought that she would never see Jane Gardner again in her life made her feel like the air was fresh.
She was exhilarated.
Alice Cox hung up the phone and took a deep breath, too, feeling incredibly happy.
When Zachary Irwin returned to The Shine, the baby was crying, and no matter how much Nanny Finn tried to soothe and coax her, the baby wouldn’t stop crying.
“Give it to me.” Zachary Irwin was ready to ignore the child and go upstairs to his and Jane Gardner’s room, but as he was about to reach the stairs, his heart softened.
If Jane Gardner was still there, she would have been heartbroken to hear the baby crying so hard.
“Look, young master, the baby stopped crying as soon as it reached you.” Nanny Finn saw that Zachary Irwin was willing to hold the child, and hurriedly brought the child to his arms.
And once the little child reached Zachary Irwin, not only did he not cry, but he also smiled.
Although this month-old child was laughing unconsciously, looking at his smiling face, Zachary Irwin felt as if a string in his left heart had been touched by him.
He walked around the living room with him in his arms and held him for an hour.
After that, Zachary Irwin’s condition gradually improved, and he would hold the child every day. The image of two fathers and son together made Nanny Finn inexplicably cry.
“If the young lady was still around and saw you guys like this, she would be very happy.” Nanny Finn couldn’t understand why Jane Gardner was so young and lost.
God is really not fair at all.
“…” Zachary Irwin heard Nanny Finn mention Jane Gardner and his hug for the baby stalled.
Nanny Finn knew she had said the wrong thing, and turned around and went into the kitchen, afraid that Zachary Irwin would hear her words and get emotional.
“Sir, the young lady is now left with these ashes, and it may be a little difficult to do an identification to make sure it is the young lady.” Zachary Irwin is not in the Irwin these days, the company’s affairs are Andy Winters in handling, he dialed Zachary Irwin’s phone, said.
Zachary Irwin was too impulsive the first few days, but in the past few days, in the company of his children, his sanity returned a bit, and he also began to re-member the whole thing.
Somehow, his intuition told him that there was a ghost in this case.
“What did the police say?” Zachary Irwin asked again as he looked down at the sleeping child in his arms.
“The police side is also working on it, but to do the identification, we can only extract DNA from the cells, and the ashes are already inorganic, unless we find some ribs or cartilage left over from the cremation, otherwise, there is no way to prove that it is the young lady.” On the other end of the phone, Andy Winters added.
He knew how important Jane Gardner was to Zachary Irwin, so ever since Zachary Irwin had given him this matter.
No matter how much difficulty he encountered, he never mentioned asking Zachary Irwin to go through Jane Gardner’s ashes.
“I know.” Knowing there was really no other way, Zachary Irwin hung up the phone.
For days, he had kept Jane Gardner’s ashes at the foot of his bed, but he had never thought to open the red cloth, much less rummage for some remnants of bones that might have belonged to Jane Gardner.
But, if he was going to prove that Jane Gardner was indeed dead, he had to find it.
