Every day at the funeral home, various forms of separation and departure due to death were witnessed. In the
hospital, there was always a glimmer of hope, even if it was just a tiny sign that the person was still alive. However,
when they arrived at the funeral home, that hope vanished forever.
Vibrant individuals became lifeless bodies in this place, and once all the procedures were completed, one would
vanish from this world the moment the button to start the cremation furnace was pressed.
At first, the body disappeared, but gradually, friends and family would forget them. The living moved on with their

returned to its ordinary routines.
Bradley’s large hand clutched his chest tightly. His heart pounded wildly, and he felt every heartbeat. When he saw
the person in the coffin, he truly felt the profound meaning of parting in life and death.
Esther had vanished from his world, and he would never find any trace of her in this world again.
Bradley took slow, deliberate steps toward the coffin, but Kevin stood in his way. “Bradley, stop!”
Kevin blocked Bradley. Knowing Bradley’s personality, he might try to take Esther’s body.

Just as Bradley and Jasper faced off, the security team that Jasper had arranged arrived.
“Block him, and don’t let him get any closer to the coffin,” Jasper instructed.
“Yes, sir.”
The old Jasper used to worry that he might be too forceful, which would hurt Esther because he knew that there

away from her forever.
“Bradley, Esther is my wife. What right do you have?”
Bradley raged, never expecting that his divorce from Esther would put him in such a passive position.
