It was about time Hector left. Although he sympathized with her, he had to go. He had happened to be passing by today and had already been delayed for a long time.

As soon as he came to Raegan's side, she looked up at him. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying.

Raegan stood up and solemnly bowed to Hector. Her voice came out hoarse and broken.

“Thank you, Mr. Dixon. I don't have my phone on me right now. Please send me the bill. I'll settle the expenses once I'm done with everything at hand."

Since the matter was an emergency, Hector had instructed his subordinates to handle all the medical expenses.

He looked down at her again when he heard her address him as Mr. Dixon.

"You don't have to be so polite. You know I am Mitchel's uncle, right? Why don't you just call me Hector?"

Raegan nodded.

“I know, but I insist on repaying you once I settle everything here."

Raegan had heard the way Tessa addressed Hector. His eyebrows were a lot like Mitchel's. He had a habit of furrowing them too just like the other male Dixons.

Hector was somewhat surprised. Since she didn't address him by his first name despite knowing who he really was, the reason was quite clear. It appeared all wasn't well between her and Mitchel.

He left soon.

Raegan remained on the bench throughout the night.

At the crack of dawn, she finally left to go buy some new clothes and some supplies for the funeral.

It wasn't even eight o'clock yet when the hearse from the funeral home arrived.

Kendra accompanied Raegan to Tenassie. Since she had cared for the old woman for so long, she had developed an emotional connection. She wanted to say goodbye to the witty old lady.

When they arrived at the funeral home, Raegan paid the fee calmly and chose a place in the graveyard.

None of her relatives were left in Tenassie, so there would be no other mourners. This was why Raegan deliberately chose this secluded place. Even though she was practically alone, she was determined to send her precious grandmother off properly.

From the funeral home, she went to the town to buy some flowers for the ceremony, including the cakes that her grandmother had craved before she died.

Raegan hadn't shed a tear throughout this journey. But as soon as she saw the cakes, a flood of tears came rushing. She couldn't hold them back.
