Thoughts gathered, he suppressed all emotions in his eyes, looked at Helen Melendy, and said:
"The director passed away peacefully. You were by her side, and she left without any regrets."
Helen Melendy's mood, upon hearing this, indeed improved a bit.
Elly Campbell took the opportunity to say:
"Yes, Helen, the most important thing for you now is to get better. That way, the director's spirit in heaven won't be too worried about you."
Helen Melendy nodded.
Emotionally, it was still hard for her to accept easily, but rationally, the director had already passed away five years ago. She had no reason to dwell on past grief and make those who cared about her worry unnecessarily.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
She managed to smile at them.
Reaching out, she rubbed her swollen eyes, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said:
"I also suddenly heard that the director passed away. For a moment, I couldn't accept it, but it's much better now."
