Jerry struggled to support his stiff body,and when he spoke,his voice was hoarse,"Where are her ashes?"
Ella didn't reply,instead,she glanced at Viola.
Viola nodded at her.
Ella then turned and left the ward.
Within a few minutes,Ella came back,holding a jar of ashes and walked towards Jerry.
She lowered her eyes in a depressed way,and handed Jerry the urn without meeting his eyes.
The man hugged the ashes in the urn as his red eyes began to mist again,and the pain felt at that moment almost drowned him.
He asked Viola hoarsely,"Were you by her side that night?"
"I was by her side and comforted her throughout the whole labor,but unfortunately,she didn't make it through."
Tears dripped onto the urn,and Jerry carefully wiped them off with his sleeve,"She...did she have anything to say to me?"
"She had some things she wanted you to know."
