Melody Parker glanced at Maxwell Parker, who was sitting there allowing Phoebe to hit and scold her, and spoke forcefully, "I wasn't out messing around; I was visiting my mom at the Mid-Hill Cemetery!"
Upon hearing Melody Parker's words, Phoebe's scolding became even harsher.
The ridiculous part was Maxwell Parker—her biological father—who at first trembled, then gradually became calm, sitting there blind to everything happening to her...
The breeze blew, and the light rain gently fell on Melody Parker's cheeks.
The cool touch brought Melody Parker's thoughts back.
Looking at the photo on the tombstone that bore a seventy percent resemblance to herself, Melody Parker smiled slightly and placed the brought carnations in front of the photo.
Melody Parker put away the umbrella in her hand and placed it on the ground beside her.
Then, she squatted directly in front of the tombstone and gently caressed the woman's face in the photo with her hand.
