Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 59
The next day, Lady Abigail Pendleton passed away.
Her final moments were tearful. After conveying all she wanted to say to her granddaughter, Lady Abigail fell unconscious and then drifted in and out of consciousness.
Like her body, her mind was no longer her own. However, as soon as the lawyer and notary arrived early in the morning, she had a servant bring ammonia to forcibly regain consciousness and added new items to her will.
While her grandmother was newly discussing the will with the notary and lawyer, Miss Pendleton, despite being exhausted from nursing her grandmother all night, sent swift servants to places where her uncle might be.
No matter how strained their relationship had become, it was unthinkable for the head of the family to be absent when death might be imminent.
After the lawyer and notary left, Miss Pendleton returned to her grandmother. Her grandmother had lost consciousness. She soon began to moan and then opened her eyes again, drifting in and out.
Sometimes she called for her late husband, sometimes for Dolores, and sometimes she called Gerald’s name. But the name she called most often was Laura.
Miss Pendleton sat by her grandmother’s side, pressing her lips to her hand and praying over and over. To her mother in heaven, for a miracle to make her grandmother rise again. For her to miraculously recover.
But no miracle occurred. That afternoon, Lady Abigail Pendleton passed away. She was 72 years old.
After Dr. Webster’s death certificate, Miss Pendleton went into her room in tears. She curled up and cried for a long time.
There had been times when she resented her grandmother and wanted to escape. There were times when she thought her grandmother was making her life miserable by obsessing over her deceased mother and making her live in a place that didn’t suit her.
But even in those moments, she loved her grandmother. She had never not loved her. She truly loved her grandmother, who had given her the love she never received from her own mother and protected her more than her own father.
But now her grandmother was gone. She had become free as she had secretly dreamed, but the love that had supported and embraced her was now gone forever.
Miss Pendleton sobbed and writhed for a while. But due to the temperament she had worked to make her own, her tears gradually dried. A temperament that valued judgment over emotion.
She had things to do. Now she had to call the undertaker, prepare the body, prepare for the funeral, and write letters to inform relatives of the death. All of these were things she ought to do.
