Before I even reached the cemetery gate, I received a call from the cemetery manager. “Ms. Lewis, someone is digging up your daughter’s grave!”
This sentence hit me like a bolt of lightning, making my heart feel like it exploded.
I immediately turned around and ran towards Mia’s grave, disregarding everything else.
Mia was sunny and cheerful. She loved daisies, which also love the sun. She said she wanted to plant the entire backyard with daisies in the future.
Her wish was not fulfilled in her lifetime, so I planted daisies on her grave after her death.
I didn’t put a tombstone for her but planted countless daisies, each one carrying my endless longing for her.
“Ryan, there are a lot of daisies here. Daniel will definitely like it!”
As soon as I arrived, I saw Emma had already placed the urn she was holding into Mia’s grave, and two bodyguards were refilling the grave.
The daisies I had planted were dug up and scattered everywhere.
Mia’s urn was tossed carelessly next to a dirty pile of dirt.
“What are you doing?!”
I rushed over like crazy, pushed aside the two bodyguards, and shouted angrily, “Who told you to dig up the grave?” Emma pretended to be terrified and shrank into Ryan’s arms. “I saw there was no tombstone here. It felt like an abandoned grave that no one cared about. It was full of beautiful daisies, so I thought Daniel could rest in peace here. I asked the cemetery manager to contact the family of the deceased. I’ll give them some compensation. The dead can’t compare to real money. Their families won’t object. But why are you yelling? You’re scaring me.”
Emma always perfectly plays the role of the delicate lady, but she made me sick.
I didn’t waste time talking to her. I snatched the shovel from the bodyguard’s hand and frantically dug up the soil they had just filled in.
This was the place I prepared for Mia with all my heart. I won’t allow anyone else to occupy it.
“Amelia, what are you doing? Stop it!”
Ryan roared at me and grabbed the shovel from my hand.
“Ryan, you’re a monster!”
I shouted, then squatted down and dug with my hands.
Seeing I was about to reach the urn, Emma panicked and shouted, “Why are you still standing there? Stop her! Don’t let her touch Daniel!”
Two bodyguards immediately pulled me away.
“Let me go!”
I struggled desperately, but I couldn’t break free from their grip.
Ryan walked towards me with a cold expression. “Emma is already upset because of Daniel’s death, and now you’re digging up his grave to provoke her. You’ve gone too far. Apologize to Emma immediately!”
