Never had Jane imagined that she would wake up to arrive at the place where her lover Noah had died.
Noah passed away merely a month ago, just before his body completely decayed.
'No, is his body still here?' she thought, as she stumbled toward the spot where Noah had fallen.
Before she could take off, Alex grabbed onto her arms and said, "Slow down. Don’t injure yourself."
He supported her weight from behind gingerly, like he was offering his arms for a queen. She did not pay attention to a word he said and hurried over to the other side. The sound of someone wailing was heard even before they arrived and Jane noticed that it was her mother's voice.
The old lady's voice was getting closer and closer. " What could an old hag like me do to deserve this?? My grandson died, and now my son. My son... Mommy has arrived late. Why couldn't I have died in your place?"
The wailing was getting closer and, after making a turn, Jane saw a group of workers in jumpsuits working. If she was not wrong, it was an ice coffin that was in front of those workers and the old lady was leaning on the ice coffin, wailing.
"Mom!" Jane darted toward her in tears.
Seeing that Jane had arrived, the old woman
immediately opened her arms and wrapped them around her. "Jane, I thought I was never going to see you ever again."
The ice coffin that Noah was in was soon transported t o a vehicle, while Jane, her mother, and Alex went into the minivan. Along the way, Jane and her mother leaned against one another for warmth and Jane did not spare Alex another look from that point onward.
Alex felt aggrieved. Before Jane saw her mother, she acted like she loved him deeply; now that she saw her mother, she could not be bothered to look at him. 1
"Jane," the old mother decided to speak justly about this. "I didn't get to meet your ex before, and now I have. He is a good man, and being with him is much better than staying with men like Huron and Lenny. Jane, I don't want to say too much, but couples fight. All you need to do is to resolve it when there's a misunderstanding. You need to be understanding with your man."
The old mother even smiled at Alex once she was done, and Alex was more than grateful.
"Mom, I will take care of you from now on. You can stay in Kidon City if you want to, or you can stay in South City if you want to stay there as well," he claimed.
