The elderly woman trembled all over due to her grief and rage.
Zhou Kai looked up at the other family members of the deceased standing behind the elderly woman. "I know, the departure of a loved one feels like a sharp blade thrust into the heart, the unspeakable longing and sorrow linger, making it unbearable for everyone.
