I didn’t remember how I cried myself unconscious. When I opened my eyes, an urn was already being handed to me.
“Mr. Thomson, please accept my condolences.”
The doctor’s eyes brimmed with uncontrollable sorrow.
“Without the miracle drug,we have done everything we could.”
I shook my head, not crying. I just sat there in the cemetery for three hours, clutching the small jar.
But then, Yohan rushed out with Samoyed. His face filled with sorrow.
“William, your father is gone. Don’t be too sad about it.”
He paused for a long moment before continuing, “How about letting Snowball eat your father’s ashes?”
My mind went blank and I was shocked. “What did you say?”
At that moment, Veronica appeared from behind him and walked in front of me.
“Snowball just finished treatment and its nutrition isn’t keeping up.”
“William, finish what you started. This is accumulating good karma for your father.”
“He was a Christian, right? If he knew he saved other living creatures’ lives, he would be very happy.”
I couldn’t believe her words. “You two inhumane monsters! That was my father! You’re not allowed to touch him.”
