Chapter 13
Looking at his son’s appearance, his heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed, causing him to gasp for breath in pain.
If it weren’t for his momentary impulse, the little child wouldn’t have turned out like this.
He opened his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he finally touched Willie’s head and said bitterly.
“Yes, yes, we made a mistake, and that’s why our mother left us, so we need to find her and apologize to her.”
But where could I go to find it?
From August to October, for a full two months, the Middleton family sent out countless people.
No one could find it.
Until that day, the assistant’s phone rang.
“Mr. Middleton, we found the lady.”
The father and son didn’t hear the following words clearly at all, and they immediately rushed towards the address sent by the
assistant.
Once they arrived at the destination, the father and son immediately froze in their tracks.
Because this is a crematorium!
Richard’s face suddenly darkened, and he grabbed his assistant’s collar tightly.
“Are you kidding me? How could Camila be at the crematorium!”
The assistant’s face was filled with sorrow as he handed him a stack of documents.
“Mr. Middleton, take a look at this first.”
Richard took it in confusion, but after seeing the terminal illness diagnosis and cremation confirmation on it, he staggered back a few steps and sat down on the chair behind him.
What did he see? It showed that Camila had been diagnosed with a terminal illness a long time ago, so she had made an appointment for a cremation spot at the crematorium half a month ago.
Half a month ago…
Wasn’t that the time when he accompanied Nataly to the crematorium?
He asked her how she had come to the crematorium, but she casually brushed it off.
At that time, he was completely focused on Nataly and didn’t think much at all.
His hand clutching the documents grew closer and closer, and his body began to tremble incessantly.
Willie, who was standing by, burst into loud sobs upon hearing them say that Camila had died.
He suddenly remembered that there was a child in kindergarten who hadn’t come for a while. He asked the teacher and found out that the child’s mother had suddenly died in a car accident.
What is death, he didn’t know, but the teacher told him that death meant that person would never come back and he would never see
him again.
So, Mom will never come back, right?
Will he never see his mother again?
A series of shocks and bad news, the small body couldn’t hold on at all, and instantly fainted from crying.
Richard subconsciously wanted to go and pick him up, but as soon as he got up, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
This is the Middleton family holding a funeral again after thirty years.
Last time it was Lewis’s first wife who passed away, and this time it is Richard’s wife who passed away.

The arriving guests murmured.
How did they both pass away? Was it because the father and son both had affairs and angered their wife to death?
Richard knelt numbly in front of Camila’s portrait, slowly burning joss paper.
My mind was filled with the words the assistant said to me at the crematorium that day.
He said that Camila went to the crematorium to make an appointment alone.
He said when the staff asked Camila if her relatives knew, she said it was not necessary.
He also said that Camila had the staff scatter his ashes directly.
She didn’t even want to leave a place for worship.
Richard laughed bitterly, with tears streaming down his face.
He didn’t know how much Camila hated them until he came home to pack up her belongings.
She didn’t leave anything for the father and son.
He even deleted all the photos of her from his phone.
The photos used for her portrait were all found at the police station.
She really hated them.
Richard buried his face and started crying in pain.
Ever since Willie learned about his mother’s death, he had been running a high fever and couldn’t even attend Camila’s funeral.
Even though Richard sought many doctors to treat his illness, in the end, he still couldn’t get rid of the root cause of the disease and had to drop out of school and return home for recuperation.
