Hearing the footsteps behind, Oscar Wilson turned his head to see Jane Sampson and Jas Black coming. He didn’t move an inch but waved his arm as a greeting to the two of them.
"When did you arrive?" Jane Sampson was a bit surprised to see Peter Gingery also there, "I thought you would co in the afternoon."
"I just got here about half an hour ago," Peter Gingery replied, "I rested at the Black Residence last night."
As Peter spoke, he discreetly glanced at Jas Black. When he arrived, Rachel Miller was already sitting there fishing. He asked Oscar, and Oscar said he had told Jane Sampson about Rachel coming, so Peter didn’t bother to give Jane another phone call.
"You two go to the personnel there to register and get the stuff, and then co over here. We’ve reserved this whole area, so no one will co to take your spot," Oscar pointed to a house not far away for the two to go to.
"I’ll take you," Peter Gingery stood up and pulled Jane Sampson to walk ahead.
After walking about a dozen ters, Peter lowered his voice and asked Jane Sampson, "My brother knows Rachel is here, right? Why did he still co?"
"That’s a strange question to ask. Is Rachel Miller the swine flu or bird flu that Jas needs to avoid him?" Influenced by Jas Black, Jane casually responded.
After speaking, she realized her remark was quite sharp-tongued, so she added, "This is the Capital Province, if anyone needs to avoid, it’s Rachel. If Rachel dares to co, why wouldn’t Jas dare to co?"
"True," Peter nodded.
Then he lowered his voice even further, "Last ti we saw him, and this ti we see Rachel, don’t you think Rachel has changed a lot?"
"He looks thinner, and his face is pale, like soone who’s ill," Jane Sampson said.
"It’s more than that. Sitting next to him, my nose can even sll a faint scent of dicine on him. The illness, it’s been going on for quite so ti now," Peter looked back at Rachel in a contemplative manner.
"What’s going on?" Jane Sampson asked.
"Not long after the year started, his father passed away. Not long after his father passed, he fainted during a business trip internationally and was taken to the hospital by his subordinates. The check-up revealed that he too was ill," Peter sighed, "Actually, the Miller Family’s feud has nothing to do with Rachel, and we thought, just like my brother, he’d be lucky enough to escape it, but turns out he couldn’t."
"I don’t know if Rachel’s illness can be controlled. Otherwise, the Miller Family would really be at an end."
Jas Black had already cut ties with the Miller Family. Jas Black’s mother was also buried in the Black Family’s ancestral tomb. Although half of him carried Miller blood, his ties with the Miller Family were long severed.
In the future, Jane Sampson’s children would also carry the Black na, continuing the Black Family’s bloodline, inheriting everything from the Black Family.
To speak of the grim possibility, if Rachel were to pass away too.
This Tomb Sweeping Day, there might not be anyone to burn even a bit of paper money for the Miller Family.
"The Miller relatives, tut-tut, I don’t even know what to say about them. Each one is consud by money. I heard from Oscar that Rachel seems to have arranged his own affairs, booked an all-in-one funeral service, and even chose a cetery, figuring that after his death, the Miller relatives wouldn’t handle his affairs, so he took care of everything himself."
Rachel Miller’s big brother passed away even earlier, naturally leaving no children behind.
Rachel Miller himself has not married to this day, so there’s even less talk of having children.
