Chapter 102 HIS ARRIVAL
NOTE: THIS IS STILL A FLASHBACK EIGHT YEARS AGO

FLORENCE'S POINT OF VIEW
After my father's burial, our life experienced a major turning point. Our house that was used to be filled with happiness and laughter turned gloomy. It's as if even our own house is also lamenting with his death.
But what worries me more is my mother. Often time, she just locked herself inside her room, refusing to talk to anyone, even to my younger brother. It went like that for almost a month.
"Please take care of your mother, Florence. As much as I want to stay here longer, I have my family too," Aunt Tessa said while putting her clothes on the duffle bag.
She's now leaving our house after staying here for a month. Uncle Leo also stayed here for two weeks to help us. My father's relatives are also reaching out on us to lend a hand. I'm just glad that I'm not alone in this battle.
I smiled. "That's fine, Aunt. And you can trust me with Mom," I replied.
