Chapter 53: Sheri Hoal
Chapter 53: Sheri Hoal
"Mom, dad," Sheri cried bitterly. She went gently and typically wanted to touch them, embrace them but
all her effort are useless. She followed them when they walked out of their tiny house.
They bought flowers with their last money and went toward the cemetery. Sheri cried her heart out
looking at her family. She wanted to comfort them and wanted to say. Everything is alright now. She
wanted to show to them she's trying her best, and she did change their situation, but the truth came to
dawn on her. She is in her past life, and she has no capabilities to help them nor to rescue nor to
change any. Furthermore, she felt very helpless.
Sheri went to her mom and dad who is kneeling at her grave while crying.
"Mom, Dad it's ok don't cry. I am doing everything to change this. Please don't cry. Sven, Ric, all of you
stop crying." Sheri shouted at them, but no one can hear her. They all stayed there looking at the grave
of Sheri. Sheva bought a piece of stone that has beautiful art on it. She was supposed to give it to
Sheri if she comes home, but she never knew they will never see her anymore. All her sisters were
devastated and crying.
Sheri made a resolution that she will never let her family have the same ending. She clenches her
hands promising her self she will let her family have a happy life.
When they went home Sheri followed them. Sheri can see her mom becomes very weak. Her mom and
dad have indeed aged a lot. Sven, Ric, and her 4 sisters were not best as well. When they arrived
home, there was a letter and a small briefcase on the table. Sven opened the letter, and a cheque was
inside on it. Amounting of 100 million dollars and when he opened the briefcase cash is also there.
Sven was looking where it comes from but there is no letter who it came from.
Sheri furrowed her brow when she saw it. She's thinking who send it. Sven presents the cheque toward
their dad, but their dad didn't look at it nor her mom. He was tenderly holding her wife the whole time
comforting her. Both can't describe the sadness they felt. They don't mind being poor but losing one of
their children has devastated them a lot. After a while, he slowly sighs and gently shook his head.
"Your sister is now gone. We don't know where that money comes from. If that is the amount of her life,
we will not accept it." her dad said. For them, family is more important than money.
Sheri draws near toward her parents and kneels in front of them.
"Mom, dad please accept it you need it. For the sake of my siblings, please accept it." Sheri beseeches
them, but they can't hear her. Her tear starts to fall again. Sheri blamed her self and blamed her
stupidity.
Sven on the other side carefully closed his eyes. They genuinely need this money to live. His younger
brother and sisters were scavenging for food and been humiliated how many times. His thinking of
what to do. Sheri gets up and moved toward Sven.
"Sven please accept it," Sheri said, but he can't hear her.
Sheri sought ways to give a signal to her brother. She moved everything, books, vases or something
tangible so that she can inform them to accept that money.
When Sven sits at the corner. He put the cheque on the table. When he was supposed to crumble the
envelope. He felt a small item on it and when he pours it on the table. He saw a small envelope. He
frowns, he unfolds it and a small necklace appears. Sven is familiar with the necklace. It was the
valuable necklace Sheri loved to wear. He carefully placed it next to the cheque. Sven was sad to see.
It is a conformation that the money that they are holding now is a payment, however looking at their
family he is conflicted on what to do.
It's his sister's life that was gone, and the cheque seems the payment of her life.
In the meantime, Sheri was active touching every item of their small house. In the corner of her eye,
she saw her necklace next to the cheque. Sheri walked next to the table and tried to move it. Without
any reason she was capable of moving, sliding it next to the Cheque. Sven saw and was overwhelmed.
He was thinking perhaps Sheri is saying to accept the money.
Sven made a decision to have the money and just hide it toward their parents in the meantime. This is
for the sake of his little brother and sisters together with his parents. From that day, Sven and Ric
talked, they discussed moving out of the slum area and go abroad. After a couple of days, they did
move out and went and live somewhere where they were unknown. Sven told the story of the necklace
that moved toward his parents. They believed him because they know Sven would never lie no matter
what the circumstances. They teach their children no matter what happened. They must not lie, and
Sven is one of the examples who never lie no matter what circumstance is it.
Sheri did desperately try following them but couldn't. She wanted to go in at the airport, but She can't
get in. It seems a wall is separating them and Sheri to go in. She tried her best to try to find ways but all
her effort is wasted. She can't do anything, but she's content her family is now safe. She is looking at
the airplane that just fly away while touching the big barrier.
At the end of the day she keeps on calling the system, but the system doesn't respond at all. She
started to get bored because she doesn't do anything. She is a soul wandering in her past life in her
past world. Furthermore, she doesn't know here to go.
After a few days when she was roaming aimlessly around the town, she saw Devon and Janice walked
out of the hospital. Sheri frown and inevitably followed them. When they get inside their car. Sheri also
went in.
They didn't talk. Sheri looked suspiciously at them and was inquisitive. Devon halts the car on the side
of the road. Janice timidly begins crying. Sheri's brow went up.
"Tell me why?"Devon grips the steering wheel tight.
Janice cried more.
"Tell me" Shouts Devon to Janice.
Janice looked at Devon. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it. It was an accident." Janice hic while saying.
"When did it happen?" shouts Devon.
Janice was just kept on crying.
"When? Shouts Devon.
"A half year ago," Janice said.
"Get out," Devon said.
"Please, Devon I love you. Don't do this. I love you. It was a mistake, and we can have a DNA test if
this is yours or not. I'm positives it is yours. Please don't do this to us. "Janice begged.
"Get out." Shouts Devon.
Sheri was looking at both of them dumbfounded.
Janice didn't move. Devon gets out of his car seat and went toward Janice's side and hauls her out of
the car.
"Devon please, don't." Begged Janice.
Devon didn't listen to her, instead, he went back to his seat and drives his car. Sheri was supposed to
get out, but she didn't.
Devon was driving aggressively the whole night until his gasoline is empty. It was in the middle of
nowhere. He cried bitterly. While gripping his steering wheel.
"Ahhh......," he shouted and allegedly punches his steering wheel.
Sheri was curious about what happened. So she sticks around. Devon hails a cab and went toward the
cemetery and looked at his grandfather's grave. He's the only one who knows what he will do in these
situations.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
