Chapter 449
Marshall's lips moved. He said after a while, "Let's go in and see her."
Stella clenched her hands as she murmured, "I'm fine."
She then walked into the operating room after she said that.
Rainee was quietly lying on the bed, wearing an oxygen mask. The water mist from her breathing could
no longer be seen on the mask. The numbers on the machine at the side had fallen to an extremely low
value.
She was so thin that it seemed like she was melded with the operation bed she was sleeping on. All
these told Stella that the person on the bed would soon pass. She held Rainee's hand.
Rainee always used pens. Her middle finger knuckle had callus all year long from holding pens.
When Rainee was in good health, she was not exceptionally slim. So, her hands were not bony. But
now, her hand was as thin as a rake. The skin of her hand was touching the frame. The back of her
hand was full of pinholes and bulging veins. Rainee's hands were so different from what Stella
remembered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been six years and eight months since the car accident. More than half of Rainee's hair was
white now.
'She's very conscious of her appearance. I guess she doesn't want to wake up because she doesn't
want to see how she looks now.'
Stella bent down to fix Rainee's hair.
Standing at the side, Felicity could not help but have a lump in her throat when she saw that. She softly
said, “Stella, let Aunty Rainee go."
Stella's fingers trembled. She softly said, "Okay," and removed Rainee's oxygen mask.
The numbers on the machine gradually became zero. And a sharp machine beeping sound could be
heard after that.
The nurse walked forward to say, "my condolences." Then, she gently covered Rainee's head with a
white cloth. 1
She then asked Stella to get the paperwork done as soon as possible within these two days and to take
Rainee's body away. Unfortunately, there was not enough space in the morgue of the hospital. So,
Rainee's body was moved out of the morgue shortly.
Stella did not cry. She was not hysterical.
She thanked the medical staff and paid the caretaker her salary before she went to Rainee's ward to
pack her stuff.
She was very calm and composed.
Rainee stayed in the hospital for many years. But there were not many things for Stella to pack.
She was either lying on the bed naked or wearing a hospital gown. There was not even a single cloth in
her ward. There were only towels and basins that were constantly replaced. There were also a stack of
opera cassettes and an old cassette player on the table.
Stella orderly put the cassettes in her handbag. She was busy. It was like nothing had happened.
The calmer Stella was, the more worried Felicity was. 'She should just cry. She's so calm that I'm so
worried about her.’
"Stella, you don't have to pack the things now." Marshall walked forward to hold Stella's bag. Then, he
tenderly said, "You should sit down and rest. We'll help you to pack the things later."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFelicity said, "Mr. Moore is right. Stella, take your time."
Stella pushed his hand away. She lowered her eyes as she murmured, "I'm fine. But, Mr. Moore, I'm
afraid I cant talk to you today."
Marshall said, "It's okay. We can talk after you're done with your things and when you feel better."
Stella nodded and thanked him. Then, she said, "It's late. You should go home. Felicity is here with me.
I'm fine."
Marshall stopped moving for a moment, 'Stella just lost her mother. Even if Keegan isn't here with her
now, I shouldn't be the one staying with her. I'm just an outsider.'
He, indeed, should not cross the line.
Marshall's Adam's apple moved. He softly said, "I'll contact Keegan as soon as possible. Just contact
me if you need any help." He paused momentarily before saying, "Bury aunty sooner rather than later."
Stella said, "okay." She did not speak further.
Marshall was still worried. He talked to Felicity. He gave her his phone number and asked her to help
Stella find a funeral home as soon as possible. He also asked her to call him if something happened.
Felicity said yes repeatedly. Just when she walked Marshall to the door, a crashing sound could be
heard from the ward. She turned her head. Her facial expression changed dramatically, "Stella!"
