Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“You didn’t wrong me, and I didn’t wrong you.”

Upon hearing these words, Patrick turned away, no longer looking at Beatrice’s face.

“I’ve always wanted to tell you this secret, but it’s been buried in my heart for so long, I didn’t know how to say it to you.”

Beatrice repeated this sentence over and over, never getting a definitive answer from Patrick that he wouldn’t leave.

“You say.”

“Your father didn’t die, he’s still alive.”

After saying this, Beatrice was taken away by the police.

Patrick stood frozen in place, incredulously staring at Beatrice’s retreating figure. According to Patrick’s understanding, his father had passed away at sea years ago, though Mike had always hidden it from her and never told her. Today, Beatrice reminded him again, leaving him in disbelief.

Things changed too quickly, he didn’t even have a chance to refute.

Beatrice going to prison was deserved, though it was unclear if she would repent there.

But at least it was a kind of punishment for her. No one can do wrong without paying any price.

And now, Beatrice had done so many wrong things, but only paid this price. It was already considered lenient, a bit of last bit of affection.

Otherwise, it would be even worse.

If all the past things were brought out, the last trace of affection would vanish.

Jane didn’t want to do that, she knew she had done her best.

Without Patrick, things might never have taken this turn.

Harrison looked at Jane and smiled, memories appearing in her heart, thinking about the past.

She knew she had realized in time. If she hadn’t turned back from the wrong path in time, she might be in the same situation today.

“Thank you for forgiving me for what I did before. If you didn’t forgive me, I wouldn’t know what to do. I might still be feeling guilty.”

Jane smiled when she heard this. Recognizing one’s mistakes and changing for the better was great, and now it was Harrison admitting her mistakes.

But it also meant that not everyone in this family was as detestable as before.

At least there was Mike they missed, there was still Patrick, and now there was Harrison.

“Harrison, everything is in the past. There’s no need to say anything. Now I just want to enjoy life and have some affection.”

“What we need to do now is to hold a memorial service for Mike and lay him to rest.”

Jane knew that when a person dies, burial is important. If a person is no longer alive, everything about that person is only left in other’s memories.

If that person was worth remembering before, it’s more so now, even though Mike had made some mistakes.

But those didn’t matter anymore. Jane and him had made peace. If it wasn’t for Mike being hospitalized before, perhaps Jane and he would still be at odds.

Only after Patrick appeared did Jane feel that she could never be an enemy to everyone in this family.

Moreover, not all the scenes from before were really targeting him. Everyone just wanted to be good to the child or simply to Patrick.

Only a few people’s thoughts were in the wrong place, and now those people had been punished.

“I know what you mean. We should bury Mike sooner. I’m also thinking about which relatives and friends to invite!”

Harrison knew Jane was in charge of everything now.

“Don’t make it too complicated, but Mike should have a grand burial. In his lifetime, Mike worried about us a lot. After his death, let’s give him a peaceful send-off.”

Jane’s idea was simple, relatives and friends should all be present, while keeping things simple.

Everything should be done to the best of their ability, not necessarily making every procedure complicated, something Mike wouldn’t like.

While Mike was alive, he enjoyed a quiet life at home, and even after death, he deserved to be treated the same.

Receiving condolences from relatives and friends was appropriate, but the process should be streamlined.

“Make a list of the relatives and friends you want to invite in advance, and leave the rest to me.”

“Remember the jewelry studio business. I can’t help much now, but after Mike’s affairs are settled, I’ll see where I can help you.”

Harrison nodded gratefully upon hearing this, understanding that repaying kindness for grievances was not easy.

“I’ll handle this matter. I’m sure all relatives and friends will come if informed!”

Harrison hinted that there was more to say. She didn’t know which relatives Jane wanted to see now, or those she didn’t want to see.

Therefore, Jane’s opinion must be sought, relying on Jane’s intelligence to think through this matter.

“Everything has passed. They’re coming not to see me, but to see Mike. Anyone with that intention is welcome.”

“But if anyone dares to cause trouble at Mike’s funeral, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Jane stated clearly upfront. Harrison nodded, thinking that if these people didn’t see reason at this point, then they were beyond help.

So what Jane said wasn’t wrong, and if they still caused trouble now, not even Jane would forgive them.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

If they had any grievances with Jane, it was acceptable to talk to her at any other time. But if they caused trouble at a funeral, it wouldn’t just be about Jane, it would be about Mike and everyone in this family.

She didn’t know which of these people would do such a thing, but she couldn’t rule out the possibility.

“I’ll take care of everything else. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
