While Alice had brought the breakfast to her, Brittany indifferently glanced at the other side and said, "I can't eat it."
Alice asked angrily and anxiously, "Why can't you eat?"
"Because I have to endure it." Brittany's nails were gently digging onto the edge of the praying mat. After such a long period of time, it was impossible for her to not be hungry, and for her throat to not be thirsty. However, she had no choice but to endure it. Her sickness had not been cured after being scared by Richard, and she couldn't lose her composure on such a solemn day. She absolutely couldn't!
Alice asked in confusion, "Endure it? Why do you have to endure it?"
"Because..." Brittany mumbled, "I'll pee myself."
"What did you say?" Alice looked incredulous. She had learned every single word Brittany said, so why couldn't she understand it when they were combined?
"I said that I would be unable to control myself to pee. That's why I tried my best not to eat, lest I disturb Daniel's funeral. Take your breakfast away, I won't eat."
This time, Alice, who had heard everything clearly, was about to cry.
She thought that there must be some mistakes in the process, otherwise, Brittany wouldn't have become like this!
Where did it go wrong?
Oh yes, she remembered!
If she didn't expel Brittany from the Ramsay residence, would it be different now?
Alice could not bear the pain and said, "It's okay! Mom will stay here to accompany you. I won't let you lose face. Can you just take one bite?"
Hearing this, Brittany pointed to a shrimp dumpling in the breakfast box and said, "I only want this one. You can take the rest of it
back."
"Okay..."
Brittany was willing to eat, and Alice was already very happy.
There was a pair of new chopsticks in the breakfast box. Brittany picked them up and picked up a shrimp dumpling. She quickly stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it without chewing.
Seeing this, Alice thought that she was too hungry, so she quickly reached out and patted her on the back.
In fact, Brittany swallowed it because she was afraid that she would not be able to resist the lure of the delicious food.
"Did you choke?" Alice asked.
Brittany shook her head.
Alice coaxed, "Do you want one more?"
Brittany shook her head again.
This time, she was determined. No matter how Alice persuaded her, she just remained indifferent.
Alice could only sigh and return to George's side.
George saw their interaction just now. When Brittany was willing to eat, he was very happy. He did not expect that in just a few seconds, she would not eat anything again.
"Is it because she doesn't like the breakfast?" He murmured to himself.
Alice heard his words and was half happy and half worried.
She felt happy because George was unconsciously concerned about Brittany. But she was concerned about Brittany's health condition.
At this moment, Patrick walked toward them and asked, "Dad, Alice, are you happy with the breakfast?"
Alice recovered and said, "Yes, it's very delicious. Your father and I have eaten a lot."
George chimed in, "Patrick, you've already stayed here for a whole night. It's time to go back and rest, so that Amelia won't worry."
"What about Dad and Alice? Do you want me to send you back?" Patrick asked.
George and his wife looked at each other with some hesitation.
Patrick saw their intention to stay behind, but when he thought that Amy asked him to take care of them more, he said, "The funeral house will send Daniel's body to the cremation at noon today. We still have time, so you'd better rest first."
"But..." Alice said, "I'm worried about leaving Brittany alone. She hasn’t eaten for almost a day and a night. I'm afraid she'll fall down at anytime."
Patrick said, "How about this, I take you to a nearby hotel to rest so that you can come here as soon as anything happens to Brittany."
Alice looked down at George's tired face and nodded to Patrick. "That's fine."
"Patrick, thank you."
Before getting out of the car at the hotel, George opened his mouth to speak.
He expressed his sincere gratitude to Patrick. After all, he knew very well how bad Patrick's relationship with Brittany and Daniel was.
Patrick smiled back. "Dad, don't be so polite to me."
George sighed, "Before this, Brittany and the others had done a lot of things to Amelia. This could be considered to have indirectly caused you trouble. However, you still stayed behind and keep watch over the night for Daniel."
"Dad, you've misunderstood me. I didn't do it for Daniel or Brittany. I only did it for Amy."
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
The staff of the funeral house drove Daniel's coffin to the crematorium on time.
After more than four hours of rest, George and Alice had recovered a lot. They were secretly glad that they had listened to Patrick's suggestion to come to the hotel to rest. Otherwise, they would have been paralyzed in the funeral house.
Before leaving the hotel, Alice said with emotion, "We're already this tired. I wonder how tired Brittany is after accompanying Daniel the whole time..."
George said in a deep voice, "After this matter is over, you can ask her what her next plans are."
Of course, Alice would say, "Okay."
Just as Daniel was about to be cremated, George, his wife, and Ned retreated to the monitoring room to watch the process of the cremation while Brittany stood in front of the furnace.
Feeling the heat, the furnace operator took off his shirt and left only a vest on his body. Brittany, on the other hand, only felt cold.
The furnace operator immediately said to her, "Madam Ramsay, we're going to carry your husband's body forward. Do you have anything else to say?"
Brittany turned around to look at Daniel's body. He had been 'invited' out of the coffin and was currently wrapped in a white cloth, ready to be pushed into the furnace at any time.
Thinking that she could no longer touch such a person from now on, Brittany couldn't help but reach out and unclothe the white cloth covering Daniel's face...
Seeing this, the furnace operator's eyes widened slightly. After all, this kind of thing was really rare.
Daniel's body had been well protected since he was in the police station, and the makeup artist of the funeral house was very capable, so his face looked lifelike at this time as if he were only sleeping.
"Daniel," Brittany bowed her head and kissed his thin lips, saying calmly, "Goodbye."
The furnace operator was shocked, including George, his wife, and Ned in the monitoring room.
"George..." Alice anxiously grabbed George's clothes. She was really worried about her youngest daughter's mental state.
Who would kiss a person who had been dead for several days? On one hand, it was disrespectful to the dead. On the other hand, it was unhygienic to kiss a dead person. However, Brittany did not care about it at all.
Beside them, Ned was moved as he watched this scene through the monitor.
When it came to love, he was still a piece of blank paper. He could not imagine how deep Brittany's feelings for his brother were in order for her to make such a move.
Even he... just hugged his brother's body and cried fora while.
He had thought that his brother would be bullied after marrying Brittany. However, it was his brother who had failed her.
At the other end of the monitor, Brittany stood up and said to the staff by her side, "Alright, do it."
