Chapter 250 "Abetment"
Breeze Ballroom 2nd floor café.
Lumian, who had just finished lunch, saw Franka again wearing a white shirt, light breeches, and red boots.
This time, Franka's expression was very solemn, which made Louis and Sakota and other gangsters a little uneasy, afraid that they were here to cause trouble.
Lumian stood up and asked with his eyes what was going on.
Franka exhaled slowly and said:
"Jana's mother has passed away."
Lumian was stunned for a moment, as if he saw the madman Flemish who hung himself on the window frame and Ruhl who was festering and dying.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he asked after a few seconds:
"Death due to deterioration of condition?"
"No." Franka shook her head, "It's suicide."
Seeing Lumian showing a puzzled expression, she sighed and explained:
"When I went to find Jane last night, I was worried that she would be stubborn and unwilling to tell me some difficulties and ask for our help, so I specially met the attending doctor and the nurses in charge of that floor, invited them to drink coffee, ate dessert, and asked them to help keep an eye on Jenna's mother's situation.
"They said that after Jenna's mother knew that she would have to treat for several months and the approximate cost, she jumped from the sixth floor while Jane went to the restaurant and Julian had the opportunity to find a doctor......
"Hey, her health was already very poor and she died on the spot."
Lumian was silent, suddenly pressed his left chest, and smiled in a mocking tone:
"Is this destined fate?"
Franka couldn't answer.
…………
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lumian and Franka rushed to the Holy Palace Hospital, where they were led to the hospice room on the ground floor of the annex by the nurse who had deliberately befriended them.
It is said that it is a end-of-life comfort, and the dead waiting for purification will also be sent here.
Jane Na's brother Julian was squatting at the door, covering his head, looking at the sky blue painted wall opposite with a painful expression.
Franka leaned over and asked in a low voice:
"Are Auntie and Jane inside?"
Julian nodded slowly and said to himself in pain:
"I shouldn't have left her alone in the ward......
"I shouldn't have left her alone in the ward......"
Franka didn't know how to soothe her, so she could only sigh secretly and walked into the hospice room on Julian's side.
Elloty's body was placed on a bed covered with white sheets, covered with the same plain white cloth.
The blood on her body had been cleaned up, her face was pale, and her eyes were closed.
Jian Na sat on the round bench opposite, staring blankly at her mother's corpse, her eyes empty, silent, as if she had lost her soul.
Franka shouted distressed and concerned, but Jane ignored it, as if she had closed herself in another world.
Lumian pulled a chair and sat down next to Jana, also looking at the deceased Elloty.
A few seconds later, he said in a low voice:
"I can understand how you feel, because not long ago, I also lost the most important relative to me."
Jane didn't respond, as if she had turned into a statue.
Lumian looked at the same place as her and continued:
"But what you need to know is who caused this tragedy.
"Is it your fault, is it your mother's fault, is it your brother's fault?
"No, you have nothing wrong! In the face of accidents and debts, you choose to bear it strongly, choose to rely on your own fatigue and pain in exchange for a new life, it took several years, and finally you slowly came out, wrong? Without!
"This time, you don't give up on your loved ones and try to find a solution, are you wrong? Without!
"You didn't hide it from your mother, and told her the cycle, cost and source of treatment frankly, is it wrong? Without! This is something that cannot be hidden!
"Your mother loves you and wants you not to repeat the painful life of the previous few years, and wants you to walk in the light, not in the dark, is it wrong? Without!
"Who is wrong?
"It is the factory owner who keeps appealing, delaying accident compensation, and making you suffer and suppress your life for several years!
"It is the law that protects them from this kind of behavior!
"It is Bono who ignores safety regulations and does not replace worn-out machines. Goodwell!
"It is the cost of treatment that makes the poor desperate!
"It is the Congress and the government that caused all this and condoned all this!"
Jane Na's expression finally changed to a certain extent, and a little painful emotion was revealed from her empty eyes and blank face.
Lumian looked sideways at the door and said in a deep voice:
"I can tell you one more thing, the explosion at the Goodville chemical plant that caused your mother's tragedy may not have been an accident."
Jane instinctively turned around and looked at Lumian and Franka.
Lumian set his sights on Eloty's body:
"It may have been a murder, a sacrifice to the evil gods.
"Our respected Hugue. Congressman Artois was evaluated by powerful evil gods as an enlightened enough man, surrounded by one evil god after another, including Tibert, the assistant secretary who created disease and killed innocent people. Jacques.
"Yesterday morning, Bono. Goodwell visited the council's office, and in the evening, his chemical plant exploded.
"I put on my makeup as Bono. Goodwell saw Tibert. When Jacques was young, he said something about the inevitable problems that arise after the decline of the organization, which made me believe that the explosion of the chemical plant was what they expected to see, or even caused directly, for a purpose that we still do not know.
"Are you angry? Do you hate it? Are you willing?
"Do you want to sit here and watch the murderers who killed your mother and your happiness drink champagne, have dances, and bring more family breakdown?"
Jianna's expression was vaguely distorted, and there seemed to be a fierce struggle in her heart.
Finally, she raised her hands, covered her face, and cried bitterly:
"But my mother, but my mother can't live anymore......"
Franka squatted in front of her, hugged her, and let her cry while enlightening:
"What your mother wants to see most is that you and your brother are no longer troubled by debts and have a new life, and you want to see one of you become excellent drama actors, the other get rid of the restrictions of ordinary workers and master certain skills, and want to see you live well, can you bear to let her down?"
Jian Na cried bitterly and asked:
"Didn't you say that the night will pass and the light will eventually come? Why, why is it always so dark, why, why can't I see a little light......"
"It's coming, it's coming." Franka kept patting Jenna's back, "What you need to do most now is to bury your mother properly and then think about doing something for her."
"Hmm." Jane Na cried and agreed.
Crying until she was exhausted, her mood finally stabilized a little.
At this time, the priests of the "Eternal Sun" Church, who had come to comfort the end of life, arrived.
Dressed in a white robe inlaid with gold thread, he entered the room with Julian and stood beside Elloty's body.
He held the scriptures in one hand, recited the prayers, and held the holy water bottle in the other, leaving it in mid-air.
In the end, a little sunlight accompanied by the sprinkled holy water was born out of thin air and fell on Eloti's body.
"Praise the sun, may this sister rest in peace and enter the kingdom of God." The priest opened his arms.
"Praise the sun!" Jane and Julian followed in prayer.
Lumian, who was watching the ceremony, lowered his head and sneered silently.
As a believer in the "god of steam and machinery", Franca also did not "praise the sun".
The priest completed the purification and left the hospice room, and the management in charge of the morgue of the Holy Palace Hospital walked in and asked Julian and Janna:
"Is this sister buried directly or cremated? Should she be sent to the catacombs, or to places like the Innocence Cemetery and the Priest's Cemetery?"
Julian and Jane looked at each other and said:
"Cremation, we will send it to the catacombs ourselves."
Their father is also buried there.
The morgue manager made a record and said:
"There were too many people who died last night, and the crematorium will not be available until next week.
"Okay." Jana's voice was a little hoarse.
The four of them then watched as Elloty's face was covered by a pulled-up white cloth and pushed out of the hospice room.
They followed the hospital bed with metal wheels, took a steam-powered elevator, went underground, and arrived outside the morgue.
The door opposite the morgue was silvery-gray, and the inside was dark and cold, creating a white mist at the junction.
Jane watched in amazement as her mother Ellotie's body was pushed through the door, into a cold room full of long metal cabinets lit with gas wall lights, and watched the silver-gray doors slowly close.
She subconsciously chased forward a few steps and stopped at the door again.
Silently, the door closed.
She could never see her mother again.
…………
Return to the Parsi Bridge in the Honest Man Market area.
Jane stared at her brother Julian walking alone in front of her, and there was another sadness in her heart.
The afternoon was sunny, but it made her feel dazzling.
Franka withdrew her gaze from Julian's back, and said with the idea of finding something for Jane Na to do:
"Your brother's mood has always been wrong, he seems to blame himself, you have given him more guidance these days, tell him that it is not his fault, normal people will rush to the doctor at that time."
Jane Na broke free from her sadness and said with a "hmm":
"I will guide him.
"But what if it's useless?"
She looked at Lumian and Franka a little helplessly.
Franka nodded comfortingly:
"At that time, I can help him find a real 'psychiatrist', the kind with extraordinary abilities."
Jian Na breathed a sigh of relief, sniffed and said:
"Thank you, thank you."
"You have to pay attention to your own psychological situation." Lumian reminded him very experiencedly.
Jian Na pursed her lips and nodded, looking ahead, her gaze gradually becoming firm.
She said to Franka and Lumian in a low voice:
"I want to 'visit' Bono tonight. Goodwell."
