Chapter 360: She's Alive and Well!

Ever since Samuel Johnson learned of Amanda Smith's death, he had never been the same again.

He stopped going to work and refused to visit the hospital, spending all his time in the empty room Amanda once inhabited.

The things Amanda had used were thrown away by Mrs. Johnson, leaving truly nothing behind; she was afraid her son would become sadder with these reminders around, yet she couldn't bear to let him sit all day on the cold floor. She strove to restore Amanda's room to its prior state. Fortunately, all the furniture in Amanda's room had been purchased by the Johnson family, so finding identical pieces was quite easy.

Samuel stayed holed up in his room, prompting Donald Johnson to run out of ideas. He was annoyed by his son's defeated demeanor but also heartbroken to see his face grow thinner and thinner—such a strong man, undone by a matter of the heart, leaving him at a loss for words.
