章 362: Funeral

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

The day after my birthday, Mother's funeral was held. Although the body was not found, according to all the evidence, she was dead. 

Mother's sudden suicide affected my reputation, mainly my wife's reputation. There was a rumor that she told me to send Mother to a distant island and since I was madly in love with her, I listened to her. 

What bullshit!

Rather than making me the bad person, they were making my wife look bad, who was the kindest person I met. More importantly, none of us had any hand in it. Blue could not eat properly or sleep at night. She was restless. 

My mother's death affected her more than it affected me. To be frank, it did not affect me at all. I did not care. It was more like- I could not care. There was no reason for me to bother about something like that. 

I thought it would affect me a bit, but it did not. It surprised me as well.
