Chapter 1102

Joe gently coaxed Skylar for a while. After they gathered Viola’s belongings, they headed to Pearlhall Residence.

On the way, they called George and Alexander. They arranged to meet at Pearlhall Residence but didn’t reveal much over the phone.

However, both George and Alexander felt a growing unease during the drive. They pondered various possibilities during the trip.

Upon arriving at Pearlhall Residence, they were greeted by the sight of Gloria dabbing her eyes with a tissue. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying.

Noticing the absence of Viola made the air heavy with an unspoken answer.

They also spotted Skylar, who looked pale, her eyes red and puffy. The answer they had been contemplating surfaced in their minds.

George and Alexander stood motionless at the door.

At their age, losing friends one after another had become a familiar pain. Yet…

Joe walked toward the entrance. He called out, “Mr. Querbach Senior, Mr. Gardner Senior.”

Both men were momentarily slow to react, then nodded in acknowledgment before following

him inside.

Gloria looked up at her two friends, tears streaming down her face. “You’ve come.”

Just as she spoke, the tears flowed again. She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.

“Viola…” George began, but his voice was hoarse, laden with emotion.

Having lived a long life, he often found himself lacking the courage he wished he had, especially when he longed to see Viola one last time.

“Viola… she’s gone ahead of us, waiting for us on the other side.” Gloria glanced at Skylar,

who was more distraught than she was. She squeezed Skylar’s hand before answering George.

“What?” George took a sudden step back.

Alexander closed his eyes, his face pale. “You all should sit down. Let Joe explain Viola’s

situation in detail.” Gloria had little energy left.

She couldn’t replace the strength to explain everything to her friends. The pain was overwhelming.

She had assumed that her own health issues might lead her to depart this life before anyone else, yet it was Viola who had left them first.

With heavy steps, George and Alexander made their way to the seats. Skylar greeted them softly, “Mr. Gardner Senior, Mr. Querbach Senior”

“Hey, Skye, don’t be too sad,” George said wearily as he tried to comfort her.

Skylar nodded. “Okay.”

Joe then shared the recent details about Viola and the letter she had left behind. When they heard Joe say that Viola had passed peacefully in her sleep without suffering, their expressions softened slightly.

A heavy silence fell over the group. After a while, George spoke up, “Viola didn’t like noise or being disturbed. Let’s keep her funeral simple and quiet.”

“Skye mentioned the same. When Viola lived in the countryside, she told Skye that if she ever died, her wishes were to keep things simple and to have her ashes scattered in the ocean,” Gloria added.

At their age, they had come to accept many things in life.
