The day before Wesley's funeral, Joslyn got a call from Blair.
"Hi,
Joslyn. Is Patrick asleep?"
Joslyn had been worried about Blair. She was glad that the girl had finally called her.
“Yes. He has gone to bed. Blair, you should get more rest. You've tired yourself out. Do take care of yourself, okay?"
“Will do. Joslyn, thank you for keeping me company all these days. I'm all right now. Please spend more time with your son," Blair reminded.
A few days back, Blair and the Leonard family had no choice but to leave Dreles after the rescue operation had been called off. Joslyn worried that Blair would do something impulsive, so she had stayed with her friend all day long ever since she had come back home.
"I know. Mom said he was very well-behaved while I was gone." Joslyn realized how lucky she was in her life. Although Hartwell was as busy as Wesley used to be and wasn't often home, at least, she knew that he loved her. She never had to suffer much in the matters of Love. At that thought, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Blair.
Blair admired Joslyn very much too. How she wished she could have had a loving son with Wesley! But she could never have that anymore-not for the rest of her life.
‘Maybe in my next Life...‘ she thought to herself.
“I'm really happy for you, Joslyn. You're lucky to have married into the Jenkins family. They are all kind people. Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt and my two cousins. They treated me so well after my parents passed away. I owe them a lot. But I seldom expressed my gratitude to them. I was thinking I could pay them back once I was more successful, but..." 'I won't have that chance anymore either..."
Joslyn sensed that something wasn't right about her. She became nervous and asked, "Blair, are you okay?"
“Why? I'm all right. Don't be so scared, Joslyn." Blair chuckled.
‘Was I just overthinking?’ Joslyn wondered. She comforted herself thinking that maybe she had been worrying about Blair too much. Blair was in a terrible place right now, but she was a strong girl.
“Okay then. I'm relieved to know that."
“Tomorrow is his funeral," Blair said quietly. She wanted to see him.
“Blair, I'll always be by your side. Please stay strong Joslyn didn't know how to comfort her. Sometimes words were just too powerless.
Blair smiled.
“I will. So many people still live on even after losing their loved ones." It was just that their world would be different and colorless. And they might never be truly happy ever again.
Blair had Lost her parents a few years ago, and now Wesley was gone too. Without them, she couldn't Lead a happy life.
“I'm glad that you think that way," Joslyn said warmly.
“Mm hmm. Sleep tight, Joslyn. I'm going to bed too.” Blair began to feel sleepy. Her eyelids were drooping.
In her hazy state, she imagined Wesley's figure standing in front of her.
‘Wesley, did you come to pick me up?
Wait for me. Don't Leave yet. I'll come to you soon.
