Asher, is he also continually blaming him? Blaming his excessive suspicion and jealousy, which ultimately led to Clover’s disappearance, blaming him for never finding Clover.
Edward Quinn suddenly staggered a bit, pressing his forehead, and Mabel Quinn quickly supported Edward, saying, "Uncle, are you alright?"
"I...feel a bit uncomfortable, I’ll head back first." Edward Quinn said.
"Then I’ll accompany you down, Uncle." Mabel Quinn hastily replied.
"You’ve just arrived, and today is the Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Spend more ti with your father. I can go down alone, the driver is just below." Edward Quinn said, turning to leave the cetery in the direction of the exit.
Mabel Quinn watched Edward Quinn’s figure descend the stairs before she turned her gaze back to the badge in her hand.
Today’s unusual behavior from Uncle must be because of this badge.
But Uncle won’t say certain things, so she hasn’t pressed further. But why did Uncle’s face change dramatically upon seeing the badge that her father asked her to keep well?
What significance does this badge hold?
Mabel Quinn thought about it but still couldn’t find an answer.
At this mont, Edward Quinn got in the car and instructed the driver to take him back to the Quinn residence. With eyes closed, flashes of scenes when he first saw this badge reeled before him. He never thought that after so many years, he would once again see a badge like this.
Even though it’s not Clover’s badge, it still inflicted a kind of pain on him, the pain of losing a most beloved person.
The more he recalls the past, the more painful it feels.
This kind of pain, you never know when it will disappear, or perhaps, you hope, it never disappears.
Because only with the pain can you prove that even now, you still haven’t forgotten this love.
If there cos a day when it no longer hurts, then it seems the aning of living will vanish as well.

On the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, as the eldest son and heir of the Howards Family, Dorian Howards naturally had to return to Falling City to pay respects and tidy the graves.
The Howards’ grave-tending was naturally not simple, all done according to the rules. Among the relatives, many would occasionally glance towards Dorian Howards.
After all, the news of Dorian Howards in J City, openly stating he would marry a pregnant woman, was already known to them. They wanted to see if that woman from a humble background, carrying the next generation of the Howards, could truly enter the doors of the Howards Family.
A ddleso relative directly asked Dorian Howards, "Are you really going to marry that pregnant woman?"
Dorian Howards glanced at the person indifferently, "Her na is Alice Conley, not so pregnant woman. And yes, I will marry her, there’s no need to doubt that."
Upon these words, the surrounding relatives shifted their gazes to Dorian Howards’ mother, Gemma, as they all knew that Gemma had been considering Falling City’s socialites for her son’s marriage.
At this mont, Gemma frowned and said, "A-Heng, this matter isn’t decided yet, don’t speak nonsense."
Dorian Howards replied, "To , it is already decided."
The mother and son confronted each other in front of many relatives, and it was Dorian Howards’ father, Alfred Howards, who finally said, "We’ll discuss this matter later, let’s not delay the rituals here." Only then did the worship continue.
Once back at the Howards residence, the family of three went directly into the study.
