Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 871

Frank then looked at Bennett and added, "Your grandmother just passed away, and your mother is overwrought with grief, she's not thinking straight. Take her home. You know how much she hates the smell of antiseptic."

After her premature labor years ago, Emma's health had always been fragile. Having spent too much time in hospitals, she'd developed a particular sensitivity and dislike for the smell of antiseptic.

Frank had even hired a private family doctor for his wife, so she would only come to the hospital when absolutely necessary.

"I've already arranged your grandmother's funeral. Your mother isn't well, so don't have her attend."

The elder Mrs. Thompson's funeral was a stark and low-key affair.

The elder Mrs. Thompson had no close family left. Her parents and brothers were long gone, and the remaining distant relatives weren't going to travel from afar for her funeral.

Vanessa's family had been deported; even if Vanessa herself died, her ashes couldn't be brought back, let alone for the elder Mrs. Thompson's death. And Eden had already been transferred to prison, not to be seen again for a decade.

As for the other Thompsons, Tobias, Karina, and Noah Thompson certainly wouldn't attend.

The elder Mrs. Thompson had abused a young Tobias Thompson; there was no mother-son affection between them.

Emma, the daughter-in-law, also did not attend her mother-in-law's funeral. The very day the elder Mrs. Thompson died, Emma fell 'ill' and immediately flew abroad for 'treatment'.

Bennett, the biological grandson, did attend the funeral.

Bennett had a military career, and his future was bright. He couldn't afford any blemishes on his record. It was just a formality, and there was no need to be branded 'unfilial' over such a small matter.
