Immediately, tears welled up in Korbyn's eyes when he heard this.

But little by little, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

It was as if he had been waiting for Leonel to make this promise.

He had always hoped that Leonel and Alexis could reconcile their differences and get back together.

At the time Korbyn passed away, Leonel was the person closest to him.

He sat and watched as the old man he considered his grandfather passed away. Korbyn's face looked peaceful as the life left.

It took Leonel a moment to come to the realization that Korbyn was really gone.

The old man who loved Alexis more than anyone had departed this world.

On the bright side, he would now be reunited with his beloved wife in the afterlife.

A tear rolled down Leonel's cheek, but he quickly wiped it off. He had once been told that tears of the bereaved should not fall on the departed. Even though he never was one to believe in spirits, Leonel suddenly became superstitious when faced with the death of his loved one.

When the other family members heard that Korbyn had died, they fell into deep mourning. But Waylen suppressed his grief and proceeded to clean his father's body and disconnect him from the medical equipment.

Right now, the atmosphere in the room was one of sadness.

Leonel looked somewhat dazed. But he managed to pull himself out of the wheelchair with great effort.

Leaning over the bed, he stared blankly at Korbyn's relaxed face. The intense pain in his left leg was no longer an issue compared to the pain of losing a loved one. With a trembling hand, he held Korbyn's cold hands.

Being a very prestigious and influential family, the Fowler family held a grand funeral for Korbyn.

The mourning hall was set at the Fowler family's mansion, and a lot of people were in attendance at the wake, including dignitaries from Duefron and employees of the Fowler Group. In fact, the total number of attendees exceeded a thousand.

Waylen and his wife were so stricken by grief that the funeral arrangements had to be handled by Alexis and Marcus. After several busy days of doing this, both of them lost a significant amount of weight.

The night before the burial, the younger members of the Fowler family gathered together at the wake.

When it was about 1 a.m., Marcus went back to his bedroom upstairs.

He laid on the sofa to rest. But before long, Melissa brought him some food.
