I'm not a sister complex!

A few days later, in the Moon Cemetery, Father Aligado stood beside Mr. Vadim's coffin and organized the final farewell ceremony.

Little Hela followed old lady Naomi, watching the scene with tearful eyes.

Finally, as the farewell ceremony came to an end, the coffin began to slowly close.

Just at this moment, old lady Naomi suddenly shouted:

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing this, the two young men who were closing the coffin lid immediately stopped.

Old lady Naomi took a deep breath and, with the help of a younger generation, came to Vadim's coffin.

Then she took out a black wallet from her person, which Eros recognized as Mr. Vadim's.

When Eros took the old lady back to Hedaram that day, he returned the wallet to her.

Old lady Naomi placed the wallet in front of her and opened it, staring blankly at the photo of the mother and daughter in the wallet.

After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and threw the wallet into the coffin.

"Close it!"

Old lady Naomi said with a tired look on her face.

After hearing this, the two younger generations who were holding the coffin lid closed the coffin without hesitation and then nailed it on.

Old lady Naomi returned to where she had just stood and watched the scene in silence.

Seeing this, Little Hela looked up and called out in a worried tone, “Grandma…”

After hearing this address, Old Lady Naomi lowered her head and smiled at Little Hela, then reached out and rubbed Little Hela's head, and said in a gentle tone:

"Good boy!"

In this way, the coffin was moved little by little into the deep pit that had been dug long ago.

With the last handful of soil filled in, the deceased will sleep forever in the earth.

Eros, standing in the crowd, looked at Mr. Vadim's tombstone, or more precisely, at the epitaph engraved on it.

The epitaph is very short, just two simple paragraphs.

"A sincere colleague and a filial son."

Eros just looked at these two lines quietly.

As the funeral was over, the other people around gradually dispersed.

It wasn't long before only Eros, old lady Naomi, and the children from the orphanage were left.

Mrs. Maria took the children to old lady Naomi to say goodbye to her. Old lady Naomi smiled and nodded, then watched Mrs. Maria leave with little Hela, who kept looking back every few steps.

After Mrs. Maria walked away, Eros spoke softly:

"I thought you would adopt little Hela. After all, that's what Mr. Vadim wanted to do."

Naomi shook her head slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"She's a good kid, but I'm old, and even if I adopt her, I won't be able to stay with her for long."

"Rather than letting her go through this again in a few years, it is better to let her stay in the welfare home."

"Maybe it won't be long before she meets someone who truly treats her well again."

Eros was silent for a while, then he spoke:

"You make a lot of sense."

Old Lady Naomi smiled gently, then slowly walked to Mr. Vadim's tombstone and reached out to touch the photo on the tombstone.

Eros stood aside and watched quietly.

After a while, old lady Naomi suddenly spoke as if in a dream:

"You know what? These past two days I've often dreamed that I have a filial daughter-in-law and a lovely granddaughter."

"My granddaughter is very naughty. She often makes a mess at home and likes to play with cheese."

"And my daughter-in-law always cleans up the mess in the house very patiently."

As if she was afraid that Eros didn't understand, old lady Naomi also explained:

"Cheese is a Siberian Husky that Vadim owns."

Eros nodded and replied silently: "I heard Mr. Vadim mention it."

Old Lady Naomi showed a hint of realization on her face, and then a trace of reminiscence appeared in her eyes again, and she continued:

"My granddaughter is very attached to me. She often lies on my lap and calls me grandma, asking me to tell her stories. This makes my daughter-in-law very envious."

"As for me, I even memorized some stories in order to satisfy the wishes of my naughty granddaughter."

At this point, old lady Naomi showed a kind smile on her face.

While stroking Mr. Vadim's portrait, she whispered the content of her dream.

At the end, she turned to Eros and said, "Officer Doyle, do you think this is really a dream?"

"My child kept dreaming about having a wife and a daughter some time ago. I didn't quite understand him at the time."

"After all, it's just a dream. It will be fine once you wake up."

"But now I seem to understand him a little bit, because this dream is so real, as if it really happened."

Eros listened in silence without saying a word.

After a long time, Naomi looked at Eros in front of her and said with a hint of apology in her tone:

"It's hard for you to listen to an old man like me talking in my sleep for so long."

Eros shook his head and said gently: "It's okay, this is a beautiful dream."

After saying this, Eros looked at the leaves on the ground that were blown by the wind and said with some concern:

"Madam, the weather outside is still a little cold now. It's easy to get sick if you stay outside for a long time."

"I suppose Mr. Vadim wouldn't want to see you sick, would he?"

Old Lady Naomi was silent for a while, then she sighed and said:

"I really should go too!"

Eros walked to the side of old lady Naomi and helped the old lady walk towards the carriage outside the cemetery.

Just as their backs disappeared at the entrance of the cemetery, stone chips suddenly flew from Mr. Vadim's tombstone.

After a while, a few more lines appeared under his two short epitaphs.

"A loving husband."

"A loving father."

"A kind person."

……

In the carriage, old lady Naomi took one last look at the cemetery through the carriage window, then turned to look at Eros sitting opposite her and said softly:

"Officer Doyle, can I ask you a favor?"

Eros was stunned and a little surprised, but he quickly agreed:

"Madam, please tell me."

Old Lady Naomi said with a gentle look in her eyes: "Vadim has saved a lot of money over the past few decades, and I, an old guy, don't need much money."

"So, I would like you to help me divide his money into two halves, and donate half to Mrs. Maria's Welfare Home."

"The other half was deposited into a fund and then registered under little Hela's name."

"This is the only thing Vadim can do to help her now."

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Eros agreed immediately, because it was not a difficult task for him.

Seeing Eros agree, old lady Naomi smiled:

"I checked and found that Vadim has saved almost five thousand pounds over the past few decades."

"After I get back, I will give you his deposit book and withdrawal password."

"I'll trouble you later!"

Eros was not surprised that Vadim could save more than 5,000 pounds. After all, Mr. Vadim was a bank manager, and it was normal for him to save a few thousand pounds over decades.

What surprised him was that old lady Naomi actually trusted him so much?

You have to know that his current identity is just an inspector. More than 5,000 pounds would be equivalent to more than 5 million in his previous life. He just gave it to me so easily?

After hesitating for a moment, Eros asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Old Lady Naomi shook her head gently and said, "Vadim said you are a kind person, and I believe in his judgment."

Eros was speechless. He had to admit that he was really good at judging people.
