Chapter 248: Regret is Irreparable
December 9th, clear skies, Changping, Beijing, Everlasting Peace Cemetery.
All arrangements for Lena Brown’s burial, including the grave and the religious services, were taken care of by Everest Zuck. After Yusuf Zuck returned, he had been busy for many days, and finally, Lena was to be laid to rest.
Collins Brown was picked up early by Yusuf Zuck and taken to the cemetery, and there were others who attended the funeral, including Samuel Ross and his group, Felix Zuck was there as well, Miles O’brien came along with Anna Cooke who was off work for the weekend.
Everest had found the abbot of Hu Guo Temple, along with a group of high monks, to personally chant sutras for Lena’s salvation.
After an hour of chanting, it was time for Lena’s coffin to be lowered into the grave and for her gravestone to be erected.
"You all go back, Samuel, take Collins home." After all the religious rites were completed and the burial was over, and after Collins had cried her tears, Yusuf Zuck then asked everyone to leave.
Actually, he was feeling very agitated inside; he dared not think about what Lena might look like because the thought would ignite an inexplicable rage within him.
Such a wonderful girl, at such a wonderful age, she ended up losing her life in a foreign country because of him. She had so much of life to enjoy, so much of a future to experience.
But in the end, her dreams vanished with her departure.
Yusuf Zuck dared not think of the day he spent with her, did not dare to think of her standing naked at the head of the bed, standing before him, nor could he bear to think of the moment of her death, the reluctance, confusion, and despair in her eyes.
