My tears had already been exhausted on the journey.
With our house destroyed, a proper funeral was impossible.
I forced myself to take grandma to a nearby crematorium.
It wasn't until her ashes were placed in a box and handed to me that Sheldon finally called, asking, "Cynthia, why didn't you reply to my message?"
I opened my phone to find just one sentence:
"Lindsay and I still need to adjust our makeup test photos, so don't bother me anymore. I will accompany you back when I am free."
The message was sent three days ago.
When I was already on the train.
The screen then displayed Sheldon's latest post on X.
Probably about those makeup test photos he mentioned.
He held Lindsay in an unmistakably possessive embrace.
The comments below that photo were all gushing over his interaction with Lindsay.
Sheldon is the Screen Legend, and Lindsay is his partner who has worked with him time and time again.
In the eyes of all netizens, they are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple - it's like they're already married, just missing the certificate.
Little did anyone realize that the most inconspicuous person around Sheldon was actually his girlfriend.
