Ten minutes later, all members of the Widjaya family came to Jack's room.
James stood at the door, looking sad.
Vincent stood at the end of the bed in the room, looking at the peaceful figure of Jack who was lying on his side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jack's departure was so sudden that no one expected it.
When the members of the Widjaya family arrived, they stood by the bed, crying silently.
Irene cried very sadly, her eyelids were red all the time. She would occasionally wipe the tears with her thumb from time to time.
It was clear last night, they were still sitting at the dinner table reminiscing about the past. They didn't expect that in just a few hours, they would be separated forever.
"Sir, Madam, Mr. Jack parted very peacefully. He should not suffer anything. When I came this morning, he was not breathing."
The maid stood to the side in a low comforting voice, and there were tears in her eyes that were flashing blurry.
James wiped his eyes and waved his hand. "Prepare everything for this little brother of mine, and arrange for someone to go to the funeral and make sure he is buried next to our parents."
The maid nodded. "I'll arrange it, then... Do you want to arrange a memorial service for Mr. Jack?"
When the words fell, there was silence in the bedroom where sadness spread.
"No need!" Jean's voice dropped, and he looked at Jack's calm face."Second brother doesn't want so many people to worry about him, so… we need to let him reunite with mom and dad as soon as possible!"
If he had known that yesterday was his last meeting with his brother, he would not have left his room so easily.
At this time, Vincent heard him speak, and was still pacing beside him. "Sorry, I didn't expect this ..."
He really didn't expect Jack's death to happen so soon, he predicted there were still 3 months left. But the reality was different….
The man slowly shook his head, his voice was hoarse. "Don't blame yourself, thank you for these days."
He could see his second brother during half a month at his home, all of this was due to Vincent's care which had indeed reduced much of his brother's suffering.
But, as he said, life and death were beyond his control.
Perhaps this older brother knew that his end was drawing near, so he let out his thoughts in front of him.
'Brother, if there is a next world, wait for me then we will laugh together again as brothers again!'
...
Jack's funeral was handled quickly, but not in a hurry.
A day later, everyone from the Widjaya family, including the servants, came to the cemetery to deliver him.
Lilia was pregnant, and Irene didn't want her to attend an event like a funeral.
However, despite her persistence, Lilia ended up setting out with them.
It wouldn't bring her bad luck for sending her second brother-in-law for the last time!
And this is also the first time Lilia has come to the Widjaya family's grave.
At that time, after the plane crashed, the remains of the cabin crew were gone.
The Widjaya family had spent a lot of effort before finding some remains.
In this cemetery, the parents of the Widjaya family and their second brother, Jack Widjaya, are buried.
Now, everything has returned to its original point. After Jack's body was cremated, the ashes were put into the grave.
The sky was very gloomy today, and the surroundings of the cemetery were gloomy and desolate.
As the eldest son, James put the flower in his hand in front of the tombstone first. When he saw his brother's name written on the tombstone, he couldn't hold his tears in place.
"My brother, go quietly. The Widjaya family is proud to have you, don't worry about us, we will be brothers in the next life!"
Not long after, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and slowly flowed near the grave.
Under that sunshine, there seemed to be a handsome face, nodding to them with a smile
...
Jack's sudden death made the Widjaya family feel unspeakable pain.
On the way back from the graveyard, Lilia leaned gently on Jean's shoulder.
She looked out the window, and the gloomy sky slowly brightened as if to signal that Jack was leaving quietly.
This time, the man's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the car.
She looked and furrowed her brows. "What is it?"
The sound from the phone wasn't too loud, but Lilia could still hear it clearly.
The caller was Andrew.
His tone was tired and mute, and after taking a deep breath, he said. "Sorry, we can't go back and see Jack while he's still alive. Claire heard the news of his death yesterday. Her fluctuating mood caused her waters to break. Our child was born prematurely in the middle of the night!"
Jean suddenly tightened his grip on the phone. "How is she now?"
"She is fine, she is awake now, and our child is currently in the incubator, so the problem is not big!"
After saying these words, Andrew sighed and said, "Actually, your sister has a tendency to suffer from depression because she feels guilty about not being able to see her brother. This premature birth is not a bad thing. At least I can get her to receive treatment as soon as possible!"
In fact, upon learning that Jack had returned alive, Claire, who was almost seven months pregnant, insisted on leaving for Surabaya from Jakarta.
But this pregnancy makes her unable to travel.
Claire burst into tears upon hearing the news of Jack's death, it was the first time Andrew had seen his wife cry since he met her.
The youngest daughter of the Widjaya family has always had an extraordinary, dignified and graceful personality.
But the regret of not meeting her brother broke Claire's heart.
Unexpectedly, her brother died without her having the chance to meet him.
For the Widjaya family, Jack's death was heartbreaking.
Hearing this, the man lowered his eyelids and sighed silently. "Take good care of my big sister. Please inform me if there is any news."
Andrew chuckled. "Don't worry. When she recovers later, I'll let her call you. However, don't you want to come to Jakarta? Now your family members are definitely in a bad mood. How about you guys come here to relieve it? You can also see my child...."
"I'll think about it!" The man answered then hung up.
In an instant, he saw Lilia's concerned gaze.
He pressed his thin lips slightly, raising his hand to hug her. "Sis Claire gave birth."
Lilia nodded, and said regretfully, "I heard it! Unfortunately, sis Claire didn't get to meet brother Jack while he was still alive."
"It's actually my fault, I forced her not to come here because of her late pregnancy! Looks like I'll have to get ready for her spicy scolding."
The man leaned back on the chair, half closed his eyes, tiredness visible under his cheeks.
Lilia looked at him sadly. "You must be really tired, go back and rest. For the next two days… don't go to the company!"
"Okay."
Lilia looked at him, thinking. After a while, she suggested, "Brother Andrew said that Sis Claire is prone to postpartum depression. How about having Vincent check them before he returns to Parma? Can you ask him about that?"
The man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and then looked out the window. "The way to heal my sister is very simple. We just need to get him to work as quickly as possible, and all the ailments will go away on their own."
He knew his sister well. Staying at home all day during pregnancy must have been stressful for her.
Andrew was worried about her body, so he asked her to stop all activities as her pregnancy entered its sixth month.
An independent career woman suddenly becomes a housewife… This psychological gap is at the heart of Claire's heart.
