Beloved Old Lover

Finally, the day to send Daniel to his resting place arrived. Since last night, it has been raining and has continued until morning with no signs of stopping.

All night long, Emily didn’t sleep a wink. The images of the tragic accident on social networks haunted her endlessly.

Her heart felt like it was being chopped into many pieces when thinking about the severe injuries on the bodies of the two men she loved with all her heart.

“Brian, Brian…” Emily called out to the man who was falling asleep next to her bed.

She understood that Brian was very tired because he had to constantly stay awake, take care of her father’s funeral, and take care of her. However, this time, she had to bother him again.

She wanted to see Daniel one last time, wanted to light incense for him, and wanted to say sorry to him. Perhaps at the moment of his death, he wanted to see her.

“Uh, do you want to drink water or go to the bathroom?” Brian sat up, rubbed his eyes a few times, and asked.

“Please take me to Daniel’s funeral.”

Brian frowned for a long time before slowly relaxing. He knew that today, exactly at six o’clock in the morning, Daniel’s burial would be held.

He understood Emily’s feelings and desires right now. Daniel is her fiance, not a friend or just someone she once knew.

“Okay, let me dip a towel to wipe your face and then take you away.”

After saying that, he stood up, took a soft towel into the bathroom, dipped it in warm water, wrung it dry, then came back out and carefully wiped her face.

These past few days, because she had been eating and drinking, her body had regained vitality. Otherwise, he feared she wouldn’t even be able to talk.

“Just lean on me to walk, don’t be shy, there’s no need to keep your distance from me.”

Brian carefully helped Emily out of bed and helped her walk. She was very weak and most likely when she got there, she would cry and faint again, but if he didn’t follow her wishes, he was afraid she would regret it and blame herself for the rest of her life.

By the time Brian brought Emily there, Daniel’s coffin had already been carried out to the funeral home gate.

The gloomy and mournful atmosphere pervades everywhere even though there are many people present here. Everyone knew that James was the victim who accompanied Daniel, so when Emily did not appear at his funeral, they were not surprised because they knew she was at her father’s funeral.

However, at this moment, seeing her appear with a haggard appearance next to the deputy general director of GE Group, whispers and discussions began to arise.

“Don’t let her come close to Daniel.” Jessica calmly ordered the bodyguards.

Emily was stunned when she heard Jessica say. She realized that Jessica’s eyes were filled with hatred for her.

The bodyguards wearing black vests quickly followed Jessica’s words, lining up in a straight line, blocking the poor girl’s footsteps and not allowing her to get close to the coffin.

As for Kevin, even though he was heartbroken to see this scene, right now, he cannot stand up for her, which is no different from opposing his mother in the crowd. The pain his mother is suffering is already too great.

“Mother-in-law… I beg you, please let me be close to Daniel one last time…” Emily cried, knelt, and begged.

“Emily, I regret that I accepted you as my daughter-in-law. If Daniel hadn’t been involved with you, he wouldn’t have died. Take that bad luck with you and stay away from my family.”

After finishing speaking, she immediately urged the housekeeper to help her towards the waiting car.

Everyone around looked at Emily with concerned eyes and shook their heads. James died with Daniel, so Jessica immediately blamed him and his daughter for everything.

Jessica believes that if Daniel had not gone with James, he would not have had an accident.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jessica tried to forget the past story between Emily and Kevin because she loved her youngest son too much. However, the loss this time made Jessica unable to help but hate her.

“Kevin, please, please… please let me get close to him…”

Emily turned to Kevin and begged him pitifully, but only received cold eyes. He didn’t answer, quietly hugged his brother’s photo, and walked past her.

Venn bit his lip, glanced at the girl kneeling in a puddle of water, and then quickly followed behind to cover his boss with an umbrella.

The expensive wooden coffin slowly passed her under the protection of tall men.

“Daniel… Daniel…” She leaned on her hands, tried to stand up, and rushed to the coffin.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t touch his coffin.

Her fragile little hand, pale white from being soaked in water and cold, continuously reached forward, but what she could touch was only space and white raindrops falling torrentially.

“Emily, Emily, don’t be like that…”

Although Brian gave advice, he couldn’t bear to stop Emily. He could only try to keep her from falling.

The umbrella in his hand had fallen, and his white shirt was quickly soaked, sticking so tightly to his body that everyone could see the man’s skin hidden inside.

This scene made many people unable to hold back their tears, half crying for Daniel, half pitying the girl who almost became his wife.

When the coffin was put on the hearse, the bodyguards quickly dispersed.

Emily tried to step up but was hugged tightly by Brian. He knew she was very weak, and if she tried to run after that hearse, it would be very dangerous.

Although he could drive her to the crematorium, what was the point of going there when Daniel’s mother did not want her to approach them?

“Daniel… Daniel…”

After struggling for a while, Emily used all her remaining strength to escape Brian’s arms.

She ran forward as fast as she could, trying to catch up with the hearse. However, after only a few steps, she collapsed, unable to stand up on her own. She could only crawl on the road, trying her best to crawl along.

Tears mixed with the rain. The places she crawled through left fresh blood stains that were quickly wiped away by the rain.

The pain in her heart was so great that it overwhelmed the pain in her body. In the end, she could only see the fading silhouettes of people and then she passed out.

On the hearse, Kevin witnessed all these heartbreaking images.

The moment Brian rushed to Emily’s side, the heavy rain obscured his vision. His hand tightened around his brother’s photo, silently apologizing.

He would just ignore her today so that Daniel’s final journey would go smoothly. In the future, he will replace his younger brother to take care of her and protect her in everything. He will not let her get hurt anymore. He will love her very much.

The convoy slowly drove through the rain, heading straight to the cremation center.

Even though everyone knew Daniel had passed away, the closer it was to the moment of putting him in the crematorium, the hearts of his close people and friends were extremely painful, unable to bear to see him go.

“My son, oh my god… my poor son. How could you leave me behind and go like this? My child… my child…”

Jessica cried bitterly and fainted again in her husband’s arms when she saw the coffin being taken to the basement.

Kevin kept looking at his brother’s coffin until he could no longer see.

He knew that at this moment, Daniel had left him forever. Tomorrow, when dawn comes, what he will receive will only be a jar of ashes.

As the group of people flocked to leave, the rain had stopped. On behalf of the family, Kevin bowed his head to say goodbye and thanked those who came to offer condolences and help at his brother’s funeral.

Until now, he suddenly realized that he and Daniel still have a lot of things they haven’t done together, like other older brother and younger brother pairs.

Their work and responsibilities with Unicons Group have made them never have a drink together at a roadside restaurant, and have never traveled together.

They have never confided in each other or talked to each other for fifteen minutes and many other small things are now extremely important to Kevin but he has missed them, not being able to do them with his younger brother.

“Thank you, Emma, thanks to you accompanying my family these past few days.” Kevin tried to suppress his pain to express his gratitude to Emma when she just approached him.

“Please try to overcome this pain. I’m sorry for not being able to continue accompanying you and the Unicons group.” Her voice became weaker.

“It’s okay. Each person will choose for themselves a better path. I always understand and support you. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

Emma nodded and turned away. Staying at Unicons Group will only make her suffer more.

Previously, when Daniel was alive, the pain was partial, but now that he is gone, the pain has multiplied tenfold.

How could she get over it when she lingered in the place that had kept those peaceful moments with him for so many years?

Compared to Emily, Emma is a much stronger type of woman. Even though her heart was broken, she did not allow her legs to collapse.

Daniel does not like fragile, sentimental, weak girls who accompany him at work. His only exception is the girl he loves, Emily.

At this time, Brian took Emily back to the hospital. Because he couldn’t keep neglecting the company, he hired two nurses in the hospital to take turns watching and taking care of her, telling them to notify him immediately if there was any problem.

Emily’s father’s relatives returned to their hometown immediately after the funeral ended. Everyone said they were busy with work and children and couldn’t stay with her, which was why Brian had been taking care of her these past few days.

Daniel’s death is like a death sentence for the Wine company because, without his and Emily’s marriage, there would be no reason for Unicons to save the Wine Company.

“People’s hearts are ungrateful, without money and status, they cannot hold on to friendship. Emily, don’t worry, I will always be by your side even if you have nothing left.”

He looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed, opened the car door, sat in, and drove straight to GE Corporation. Just now, his father called, asked if he was coming home, and said that he wouldn’t have to come home in the future if he didn’t come home immediately.

Because he knew that Kent was very healthy, with no history of high blood pressure or heart disease, he dared to do as he wished, but he knew that everything had its limits, so he shouldn’t make his father too angry.

As soon as Brian entered the chairman’s room, a stack of documents flew into his face. The new paper had a very sharp edge and cut a line on his handsome face. The burning pain caused him to raise his hand to touch and realize his face was bleeding.
