Funeral

There was no business trip that went on for that long. The boy knew something was up and he wanted to understand what and why they were keeping it from him. But no one had the heart to tell him the truth. 

"Where did she go to? And for how long will she be there?" Gu Zhou asked in a voice that showed how much he missed his elder sister.

"Don't they have phones there, why hasn't she called me?"

All the questions were coming so fast and hard, Edward had to tell the boy to calm down. 

"Breathe Gu, just breathe. Amy will...Amy will call you when she can."

Even he was choked by the lie and had to take the phone away from his mouth for a moment.

"What I need you to do now is eat and get your strength. Amy would want you to eat."

Edward heard Gu sigh and read that as a positive sign. "Okay. I'll go eat now."

"Thank you Gu. Give the phone back to Chynna."

"Okay."

"I will call you later to check on you."

"Thank you."
