Larkin finished speaking, then shut his eyes.
‘From now on, I’m gonna live a good life too, and I’ll help out the monastery as much as I can whenever they need me, so don’t worry”
He spoke a lot in front of the tombstone, then checked the time and figured it was about time. He got up, took one last look at the tombstone, and then went to find Erica.
Erica was sitting across from Mary, watching Mary have breakfast.
“You really not coming with me?” Erica asked.
Mary sighed in resignation, “Lady, you’ve already taken one of us, leave me be, will ya?”
Erica chuckled silently, “I didn’t take Larkin, he left of his own accord, okay?”
“Same difference.” Mary took a sip of water.
Then the two of them suddenly fell silent.
Before long, Larkin arrived.
Mary waved at Erica, “Your hubby’s back, off you go. I gotta sweep up the leaves outside, so I won’t see you out.”
Erica nodded, “Got it.”
Mary kept her head down, not looking at Erica, “Remember what I told you that day”
“Okay.” Erica nodded.
“Goodbye.”
‘Bye.”‘
Erica got up.
Mary still kept her head bowed, her hand carefully holding the rim of the bowl.
“Mary!” Suddenly, Erica called her.
Mary subconsciously looked up, her eyes filled with tears.
“What’s up?” She was slightly annoyed.
“I’m ready to be your mom anytime.” Erica said seriously.
Mary quickly averted her gaze, but her tears still fell
Afraid she might cry too, Erica waved at her, ‘I’m off.”
Erica walked to Larkin’s side.
Larkin patted her head, then took her hand.
In the end, Mary didn’t see Erica off that day.
The Prior drove them to the parking lot.
“Give me a call if you need anything,” Larkin told the Prior.
“Got it,” the Prior said. “Oh, I’ve been busy with the funeral arrangements and I forgot to tell you… I got in touch with the family of the schizophrenic lady. But, after they left our monastery, they were conned out of a lot of money by a scam artist and can’t afford the treatment anymore.”
“Just give me their contact info,” Larkin said, “I’ll sort it out.”
“Alright!” the Prior nodded, “If you could really help, that would be a good deed.”
The Prior gave Larkin the contact info.
They chatted a bit more.
Before the sun was fully up, Larkin and Erica hit the road back to Norhaven. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The Prior stood there, watching their car get further and further away until it disappeared at the end of the road, then he let out a long sigh.
When he got back to the monastery, he called the family,
It took a while for them to pick up the phone.
“You killed me!!”
‘As soon as the call connected, the Prior heard a woman’s scream.
“I’m sorry, my daughter had an episode!” The woman’s helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Sorry to bother you, but the generous person I mentioned before should be contacting you soon. About the medical expenses, don’t worry, they’ll take care of it.”
