Chapter 95 Freedom And Completeness

• Richard and Melissa couldn't say anything to each other for the first few minutes. They just stared blankly into the air. Both of them had been pretending to be strong and happy all this while with the empty void of their family's absence eating them up bit by bit. Now that they listened to their last words, they got the closure they'd always wanted. Now they understood their purpose more but at this very moment, words couldn't necessarily express what they are feeling.
• Melissa stood up and closed the computer and Richard pulled out the flash drive, both of them working without saying anything as they packed up the computer. Afterwards, Richard sat on the sofa and Melissa went straight to his kitchen. She knew she needed to start doing something to get her head straight. So she decided she'd cook. It was one of the few things she did with her mom.
• Even though that woman wasn't always around, she'd made time for her and made sure those times were everlasting. So they'd do a whole lot of things together. She'd braid Melissa's hair, tell her stories, they'd cook. Melissa wiped tears from her face. She lifted the pots from his shelf, everything in the house was still as it used to be.
