Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 138

Cafe on the second floor of Breeze Ballroom.

Lumian, who had just finished lunch, saw Franka again wearing a white shirt, light-colored breeches and red boots.

This time, Franka's expression was very solemn, which made Luis, Sakota and other gangsters a little uneasy, fearing that she was looking for trouble.

Lumian stood up and asked with his eyes what happened.

Franka breathed out slowly and said, "Jiana's mother passed away."

Lumian was stunned for a moment, as if he saw the madman Flanders who hung himself on the window frame and Ruel who died of ulcers all over his body.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and after a few seconds he asked: "The condition worsened and led to death?"

"No." Franka shook her head, "It was suicide."

Seeing Lumian's puzzled expression, she sighed and explained: "When I went to find Jenna last night, I was worried that she would be brave and unwilling to tell me some difficulties and seek our help, so I went to meet Jenna specially. The attending doctor and the nurses on that floor treated them to coffee and dessert and asked them to help keep an eye on Jenna’s mother’s condition,” they said. Janna’s mother knew how many months of treatment it would take and the approximate cost. Later, while Jenna was going to the restaurant and Julian was looking for a doctor, he jumped from the sixth floor...

"Hey, she was already in poor health and died on the spot."

Lumian fell silent, then suddenly pressed his left chest and laughed in a mocking tone: "Is this your destined fate?"

Franka couldn't answer.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lumian and Franca rushed to the Holy Palace Hospital, and were led to the end-of-life comfort room on the ground floor of the annex by the nurse whom the latter deliberately made friends with.

It is said to be a final comfort, and the dead who are waiting for purification will also be sent here.

Janna's brother Julian was squatting at the door, covering his head, looking at the opposite wall painted with sky blue paint with a painful expression.

Franka came closer and asked in a low voice: "Are Auntie and Jenna in there?" Julian nodded slowly and said painfully to himself: "I shouldn't have let her stay in the ward alone..." I shouldn't have left her alone in the ward...

Franca didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sigh secretly and walked into the deathbed comfort room next to Julian.

Elodie's body was placed on a bed covered with white sheets and covered with the same plain white cloth.

The blood on her body had been cleaned, her face was pale and her eyes were closed.

Jian Na sat on the round stool opposite, staring blankly at her mother's body, her eyes empty and silent, as if she had lost her soul.

Franka shouted with distress and concern, but Jenna ignored her and seemed to have closed herself in another world.

Lumian pulled up a chair and sat next to Jenna, also looking at Elodie who had passed away.

A few seconds later, he said in a low voice: "I can understand how you feel, because not long ago, I also lost the most important relative to me."

Jenna didn't respond, as if she had turned into a statue.

Lumian looked at the same place as her and continued: "But what you need to know is who caused this tragedy." Was it your fault, was your mother wrong, was your brother wrong?

"No, you did nothing wrong! When you faced accidents and debts, you chose to bear it with strength, and you chose to rely on your own fatigue and pain in exchange for a new life. It took several years and you finally came out slowly. Wrong Is it? No!” This time, you don’t give up on your loved ones and work hard to find a solution. Is it wrong? No!

"You didn't hide it from your mother. You told her frankly the period, cost and source of the treatment. Is it wrong? No! This is something that cannot be hidden!" Your mother loves you and wants you not to repeat the previous steps. After years of painful life, I want you to walk in the light instead of the darkness. Is it wrong? No!

"Who is at fault?" It's the factory owner who keeps appealing, delaying accident compensation, and making you live a painful and depressing life for several years!

"It's the law that protects their behavior!" It's a casino that ignores safety regulations and doesn't replace worn-out machines.

promise. Goodville!

"The cost of treatment makes poor people desperate!

"It is the Congress and the government that caused all this and condoned all this!"

Jian Na's expression finally changed to a certain extent, and a little bit of the painful emotion was revealed from her empty eyes and dull face.

Lumian looked sideways at the door and said in a deep voice, "I can tell you one more thing. The explosion at the Goodville Chemical Plant that caused your mother's tragedy may not have been an accident."

Jenna turned around instinctively and looked at Lumian and Franka.

Lumian set his sights on Elodie's body: "That might be a murder, a sacrifice to the evil god." Our respected Yuge. Councilor Artois was evaluated by the powerful evil god scroller as a sufficiently enlightened person. He was surrounded by evil god believers one after another, including Assistant Secretary Tybalt who created diseases to kill innocent people. Jacques.

"Yesterday morning, Bono Goodwill visited the congressman's office, and by evening his chemical plant exploded." I made up as Bono. Goodwill meets Tybalt. When Jacques, he said something about the inevitable problems that will arise after the decline of an organization, which made me even more convinced that the explosion in the chemical plant was what they expected to see, and was even directly caused for a purpose that we still don't know.

"Are you angry? Do you hate it? Are you willing?

"Do you want to sit here and watch the murderers who killed your mother and your happiness drink champagne, have a dance party, and cause more families to be broken?"

Jenna's expression was slightly distorted, and there seemed to be a fierce struggle in her heart.

Finally, she raised her hands, covered her face, and cried bitterly;

"But my mother, but my mother will not survive..."

Franca squatted in front of her, hugged her, and let her cry while she started to enlighten her: "What your mother wants to see most is that you and your brother no longer have to worry about debt and have a brand new life. I want to see one of you become an outstanding theater actor, get rid of the limitations of ordinary workers and master certain skills, and I want to see you live a good life. Can you bear to let her down?"

Jian Na cried bitterly and asked, "Didn't it say that the dark night will pass and the light will eventually come? Why, why is it always so dark, why, why can't I see any light.

"It will come, it will come." Franka kept patting Jenna on the back, "What you need to do most now is to bury your mother properly, and then think about doing something for her."

"Yeah," Jenna agreed, crying.

After crying until she was exhausted, her mood finally stabilized a little.

At this time, the priests from the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church arrived to offer him comfort at the end of his life.

Wearing a white robe trimmed with gold, he entered the room with Julian and stood next to Elodie's body.

He held the holy book in one hand and recited the prayer, and held the holy water bottle in the other hand, placing it empty in the air.

At the end, a little bit of sunshine appeared out of thin air along with the sprinkled holy water, and fell on Elodie.

"Praise the sun, may this sister rest in peace and enter the kingdom of God." The priest opened his arms.

"Praise the sun!" Jenna and Julian prayed.

Lumian, who was watching the ceremony, lowered his head and sneered silently.

Franka, a believer in the "God of Steam and Machinery", also did not "praise the sun".

The priest completed the purification and left the deathbed consolation room. The manager in charge of the morgue of the Holy Palace Hospital walked in and asked Julian and Janna, "Will this sister be buried directly or cremated? Should she be sent to the catacombs or not?" Places like the Sinner’s Cemetery and the Priest’s Cemetery?”

Julian and Jenna looked at each other and said, "Cremate it and send it to the catacombs ourselves."

Their father is also buried there.

The manager of the morgue took notes and said, "Too many people died last night. The crematorium will not be available until next week. Should this sister stay in the morgue first?"

"Okay." Jenna's voice was a little hoarse.

Then, the four of them watched Elodie's face being covered by the white cloth that was pulled up, and pushed out

The deathbed consolation room.

They followed the hospital bed on metal wheels, took the steam-powered elevator, went underground, and arrived outside the morgue.

The double doors of the morgue were silver-gray, and it was dark and cold inside, creating a white mist at the junction.

Jenna stared blankly as her mother Elodie's body was pushed through the door, into a cold room filled with long metal cabinets and gas wall lamps, and watched as the silver-gray double doors slowly closed.

She subconsciously took a few steps forward and stopped at the door.

Silently, the door closed.

She could never see her mother again.

Return to the Passy Bridge in the Candide Market area.

Jenna stared at her brother Julian walking alone in front, feeling sad again in her heart.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but it made her feel blinding.

Franka withdrew her gaze from Julian's back and said with the intention of finding something for Jenna to do: "Your brother's mood has always been wrong. He seems to be blaming himself. Do more for him these days." I need some guidance and tell him it's not his fault, and a normal person would rush to see a doctor at that time."

Jian Na broke away from her sadness and said "Yes": "I will guide him.

"But what if it's useless?"

She looked at Lumian and Franka helplessly.

Franka nodded reassuringly: "When the time comes, I can help him find a real "psychiatrist", the kind with extraordinary abilities. "Jiana breathed a sigh of relief, sniffed and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"You also have to pay attention to your own psychological condition." Lumian reminded him with experience.

Jian Na pursed her lips and nodded, looking forward, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

Franca nodded appeasingly, and said to Franca and Lumian in a low voice: "I want to 'visit' Bono tonight. Goodville. "
