Chapter 464 Kind People

A few days later, in the Moon Cemetery, Father Aligado stood beside Mr. Vadim's coffin, organizing the last farewell ceremony.

Little Hela followed Mrs. Naomi, watching the scene with tears in her eyes.

Finally, with the end of the farewell ceremony, the coffin began to close slowly.

At this moment, Mrs. Naomi suddenly shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, the two young men who were closing the coffin lid stopped immediately.

Mrs. Naomi took a deep breath and came to Vadim's coffin with the help of a younger generation.

Then, she took out a black wallet from her body. Eros recognized this wallet, which was Mr. Vadim's.

When he took the old lady back to Haidaram that day, Eros returned the wallet to her.

Mrs. Naomi put the wallet in front of her and opened it, staring blankly at the photo of the mother and daughter in the wallet.

After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and threw the wallet into the coffin.

"Close it!"

Old Lady Naomi said with a tired look.

The two younger generations who were holding the coffin lid heard this and immediately closed the coffin without hesitation, and then nailed it on.

Old Lady Naomi returned to where she had just stood and watched the scene silently.

Seeing this, Little Hela raised her head and shouted with some worry: "Grandma..."

After hearing this call, Old Lady Naomi lowered her head and smiled at Little Hela, stretched out her hand to rub Little Hela's head, and shouted softly:

"Good child!"

In this way, the coffin was moved little by little into the deep pit that had been dug long ago.

With the last handful of soil filled, the deceased slept in the earth from then on.

Eros, standing in the crowd, looked at Mr. Vadim's tombstone, or more precisely, at the epitaph engraved on the tombstone.

The epitaph was very short, with only two simple paragraphs.

"A sincere colleague, a filial son."

Eros just looked at these two lines of words quietly.

As the funeral was over, the other people around him gradually dispersed.

It didn't take long before only Eros, old lady Naomi, and the children in the welfare home were left.

Mrs. Maria took the children to old lady Naomi to say goodbye to her. Old lady Naomi smiled and nodded, then watched Mrs. Maria and little Hela leave with her looking back every few steps.

After Mrs. Maria walked away, Eros said softly:

"I thought you would adopt little Hela, after all, this is what Mr. Vadim wanted to do."

Naomi shook her head gently, and said in a hoarse voice:

"She is a good child, but I am old, and even if I adopt her, I can't accompany her for long."

"Instead of letting her go through this again in a few years, it is better to let her stay in the welfare home."

"Maybe, it won't be long before she will meet someone who treats her sincerely again."

Eros was silent for a while, and then he said:

"What you said makes sense."

Old lady Naomi smiled gently, then slowly walked to Mr. Vadim's tombstone, reaching out to touch the photo on the tombstone.

Eros stood aside and watched quietly.

After a while, old lady Naomi suddenly spoke as if in a dream:

"You know? I often dreamed these past two days that I have a filial daughter-in-law and a lovely granddaughter."

"My granddaughter is very naughty. She often makes a mess of the house and likes to tease Cheese."

"And my daughter-in-law always cleans up the mess very patiently."

As if she was afraid that Eros would not understand, old lady Naomi also explained:

"Cheese is a Siberian husky raised by Vadim."

Eros nodded. Nodding, she silently replied, "I heard Mr. Vadim mention it."

A hint of realization appeared on Mrs. Naomi's face, and then a trace of reminiscence appeared in her eyes again, and she continued to say:

"My granddaughter is very attached to me. She often lies on my legs and calls me grandma, asking me to tell her stories. This makes my daughter-in-law very envious."

"As for me, in order to satisfy the wishes of my naughty granddaughter, I also memorized some stories."

At this point, Mrs. Naomi showed a loving smile on her face.

While stroking Mr. Vadim's portrait, she whispered the content of her dream.

At the end, she turned to Eros and said, "Officer Doyle, do you think this is really a dream?"

"My child has been dreaming about having a wife and a daughter for a while. I didn't quite understand him at the time."

"After all, it's just a dream. It'll be fine once you wake up."

"But now I seem to understand him a little, because this dream is so real, as if it really happened."

Eros listened in silence without saying a word.

After a long time, Naomi looked at Eros in front of her and said with a little apology in her tone:

"It's hard for you to listen to an old man like me talking in my sleep for so long."

Eros shook his head and said gently, "It's okay. This is a beautiful dream."

After saying this, Eros looked at the leaves blown by the wind on the ground and said with some concern:

"Madam, it's still a little cold outside. If you stay outside for a long time, you will get sick easily."

"I think Mr. Vadim would not want to see you sick, would he?"

Mrs. Naomi was silent for a while, then sighed and said:

"It's time for me to go!"

Eros walked to the side of Mrs. Naomi and helped her walk towards the carriage outside the cemetery.

Just as their backs disappeared at the entrance of the cemetery, Mr. Vadim's tombstone suddenly had a burst of stone chips flying.

After a while, a few more lines appeared under his two short epitaphs.

"A loving husband."

"A loving father."

"A kind person."

...

In the carriage, after taking one last look at the cemetery through the carriage window, old lady Naomi turned to look at Eros sitting opposite and said softly:

"Officer Doyle, can I ask you for a favor?"

Eros was stunned and a little surprised, but he quickly agreed:

"Old lady, go ahead."

Old lady Naomi said with soft eyes: "Vadim has saved a lot of money over the past few decades, and I, an old guy, don't need much money."

"So, I would like to ask you to help me divide his money into two halves, and donate half to Mrs. Maria's welfare home."

"The other half will be deposited in a fund and then recorded in the name of little Hela."

"This is the only thing Vadim can do for her now."

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Eros immediately agreed, because it was not a difficult task for him.

Seeing Eros agreed, Mrs. Naomi smiled:

"I checked and found that Vadim has saved almost 5,000 pounds in the past few decades."

"After I go back, I will give you his deposit book and withdrawal password."

"I will trouble you later!"

Eros was not surprised that Vadim could save more than 5,000 pounds. After all, Mr. Vadim was a bank manager, and it was normal for him to save a few thousand pounds for decades.

What surprised him was that Mrs. Naomi actually trusted him so much?

You have to know that his current identity is just an inspector. More than 5,000 pounds, which would be equivalent to more than 5 million in his previous life, was just handed over to him so simply?

After hesitating for a while, Eros asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Mrs. Naomi shook her head gently and said, "Vadim said you are a kind person, I believe in his vision."

Eros was speechless. I have to say that he is really good at judging people.
