Chapter 7

My heart was heavy with grief, but no matter how much I broke down, nothing would bring my daughter back. From that day on, I didn't go home anymoreI stayed at the office instead. 

About a month later, I went back to the house to grab some documents and saw the car Nora had bought for Julian parked outside. I couldn't believe that, after only a month, Julian was back. He used to only come around every six months. I knew Nora must've called him. 

But the worst part was him flaunting the car, the car bought with the money that was supposed to save our daughter's life. 

I opened the door, fuming, and found Nora lying in Julian's arms. Her face was pale, and Julian was gently stroking her cheek, comforting her. They looked like a perfect couple at that moment. Even though I'd long since given up on Nora, their tenderness and sweetness felt like a slap in the facebuilt on the loss of our daughter. 

Nora was confiding in him, "Julian, I miss Eva so much. You're the only one who understands my feelings. "

I scoffed internally. Since the last incident, my mother-in-law, Susan, no longer even considered Nora her daughter. 

When Nora saw me, she stood up. "Ian, can you at least tell me where Eva's ashes are buried? I want to visit her. "

I didn't want to tell her, but our daughter had always been afraid of being alone. No matter what, Nora was still her mother. So, I told her. 

But what I didn't expect was that when I went to visit my daughter's grave again, her tombstone had been replaced with someone else's. 

I rushed to find the cemetery manager and demanded, "Why is this grave empty?!"

The manager looked confused and said, "The deceased's mother came by earlier. She said she wanted to move her daughter's grave. Aren't you the father? Didn't you know?"
