Chapter 738: 738
Both Penny and Damien took the skeleton that belonged to her father back to the mansion's forest that came after the bridge . Taking the shovels from the mansion, Penny helped along with Damien in digging out the grave . Deep enough so that the rain and wind would never disturb the body they were going to bury right now .
Little drops of rain started to fall from the sky and they placed the skeleton in the hollow ground . The skeleton could have been buried elsewhere, in a proper graveyard but it was Penny's wish to keep him close to her where she would be able to meet him without spendings hours in the cemetery .
Penny sat down on the ground, one of her hands touching the wet mud which she didn't mind . At this point in time, Penny could only hope that her remaining memories with her father would come back to her . Standing up again, she looked at Damien who had been looking at her . Giving her the time she needed to spend with her father .
"I am ready," she stated . The rain wasn't pouring down yet and was only drizzling, giving the pair the time they needed in the forest . They started pushing the mud, covering the skeleton, and filling up the hollow . Penny was the last one to even the ground and she made sure it was compact and firm .
"I will have Kreme place a headstone tomorrow so that no one comes to move it . The entire plot that starts from here until the next two towns belong to Quinn's," he said to her, walking to her side, he placed his hand around her shoulder .
They didn't speak another word but stood there in silence before the rain could start pouring, Damien and Penny had left the forest to get back to their rooms . Penny didn't stay copped in the room for supper and instead she went down along with Damien to eat with everyone . The family was already under the difficult time of Grace missing and she didn't want to add her own feelings to pile it up .
The room was quiet, everyone had their meal in silence and left one after another to go back to their own rooms .
At the time of night, Penny unable to sleep as the scene kept flooding over and over again in front of her eyes . She walked towards the patio, not scared or worried anymore about her falling down because she knew if she would fall she would be back up again . She clutched on to the railings, a sigh escaping from her lips .
It seemed like everything was trying to fall back into place in her life . There had been days and nights where she had wondered to herself if she would ever be able to meet her father again so that she could have a grave for him so that she could visit him . It was a bittersweet moment . To have him near yet not alive was something that pierced her heart .
She hadn't felt this much pain when she didn't know much about her father whilst when she was living together with her mother but at that point in time, she believed she had not met her and when she did, she cherished the moments she had created with him .
