Chapter 522 A Flicker Before the End

Chapter 522 A Flicker Before the End

Alvin's head was a bit foggy.

He still remembered that last night, he had accompanied a groggy Trevor to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

When they came out, Trevor's posture was unusually straight.

He was even cheerfully telling Alvin that his body was still in pretty good shape.

Alvin was also particularly happy at that moment, chatting with him joyfully.

"Trevor, with your health, living another ten or twenty years is absolutely no problem!"

"Let me tell you a secret, my family is actually quite wealthy!"

"A lot of people listen to me, they're all afraid of me."

"Our Curtis family owns all sorts of things."

"When my family finds me, I'll take you and Emily with me, and I guarantee they'll treat your body like a young man's!"

"The medical technology over there is really advanced, much better than abroad!"

"What's so good about abroad anyway? You can't even make much money picking up trash, and medical treatment is ridiculously expensive."

"But don't worry, once you're on my turf, I'll take care of everything for you!"

"Whatever fancy meal you want, I'll arrange it for you, I promise you'll eat until you can't move!"

"Oh, and I have a really amazing sister-in-law and brother, our family atmosphere is super good~"

The two of them strolled through a deserted alley.

Trevor coughed twice and smiled, "I really look forward to seeing that day."

"It will happen, it will! You'll stay healthy!" Alvin laughed.

Trevor's old face shed its usual weariness.

He looked up at the starry sky.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of death at all."

"What I'm afraid of is that after I'm gone, Emily will be left all alone."

"So I've been holding on all these years."

Many times, Trevor didn't even dare to sleep.

Afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again.

Trevor turned his head, looking at Alvin who was laughing like a fool.

Suddenly, he felt that the string that had been tightly wound for so many years could finally be loosened a bit.

Alvin recalled everything from last night.

He was shocked.

Trevor wasn't getting better; it was clearly a final burst of energy before death.

Alvin closed his eyes in pain, expecting Emily's cries.

But Emily didn't shed a single tear.

Instead, she was incredibly calm, gesturing something to Trevor.

The gesture was too familiar; Alvin recognized it.

She was saying, Grandpa, I'm making dinner for you, you must be starving.

Alvin watched in a daze as Emily's small figure busied itself in the house.

She started skillfully washing and cutting vegetables.

She rinsed the piece of meat they had brought back.

Soon, two fragrant dishes were ready.

The porridge she made for Trevor was also done.

Just like always, Emily served a bowl of porridge for Trevor and set it aside to cool.

She went to pull Trevor.

However, Trevor, who had lost his life, could no longer be pulled up.

She tried for a long time but couldn't get Trevor up.

Emily's eyes turned red.

She carefully sat by the bed, picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful, and blew on it hard.

When it was warm, she brought it to Trevor's mouth.

The porridge trickled down the corner of Trevor's mouth.

Emily raised her trembling hand, picked up a piece of meat, and tried to put it in Trevor's mouth.

Alvin couldn't bear to watch anymore.

"Trevor is already dead, Emily, let him go in peace."

Emily shook her head desperately.

Her whole body was screaming.

Grandpa hasn't left!

He hasn't left!

How could he leave her alone!

"Emily!"

Alvin held her in his arms.

His big hand stroked her back again and again.

"I'm still here, I'm still here."

Trevor was gone, but he was still there.

He would stay with Emily.

Emily's eyes were empty.

Only then did tears start to flow down her cheeks.

Her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

The grandpa who had been with her for so many years, who had been by her side since she could remember, was really gone.

No one had the heart to eat the table full of food.

Alvin quickly called everyone in the area.

They helped contact people to handle the funeral.

Here, you could choose between burial or cremation.

But they didn't have money to buy a burial plot.

Emily took out some of the money she had saved.

That day, the only people who attended were the residents of this slum-like area.

Emily knelt there, unwilling to leave.

She held Trevor's urn in her arms, looking dazed and foolish.

"Poor Emily, she's really all alone now."

"Yeah, such a small child, what will she do in the future?"

"She'll probably be a wanderer for the rest of her life."

Alvin's heart ached as he listened to them.

"I'll take her with me."

Alvin's tone was firm.

He couldn't just watch the little girl who had saved him live in misery for the rest of her life.

But to take Emily away, he at least needed to contact his family first.

"Mr. Curtis? Your last name is Curtis?"

Suddenly, someone at the crematorium asked.

Because Emily had never been to school and was mute, unable to speak or write, all the paperwork was filled out with Alvin's information.

Alvin nodded.

"Oh my, recently there's been a lot of buzz about Myron, the owner of RH in Aeldora, and he also has the last name Curtis! Sir, you're really lucky to share the same last name as him!"

Alvin's mind buzzed.

"Myron? You mean Myron?"

Although Alvin didn't know what RH was, he was very familiar with the name Myron!

"Yeah, you've seen the news about Myron, right? So young and accomplished, with such a beautiful and talented wife, it's really enviable!"

Alvin grabbed his sleeve.

"Do you know how to contact him?"

The crematorium worker laughed, "How could we? People like us can't reach someone that important."

"If you can't contact Myron, you can contact his wife! Isn't she a designer at Sunflower? Just go there!"

Someone chimed in.

Alvin slapped his forehead.

"Right! How could I be so stupid!"

"Elodie came here for a Sunflower shoot, didn't she?"

"Luann is the designer, so if I go to Sunflower's headquarters and get Luann's number, all these problems will be solved!"

Alvin got more and more excited as he spoke, also getting a bit angry at himself.

Why did he only realize such a simple solution now!

He was really about to cry from his own stupidity!

Back then, he had waited at the airport for several days, then ended up with Emily.

He should have just taken a cab to Sunflower; he would have definitely run into Luann and Elodie!
