Ivy nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements.
"It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can o the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said.
"What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained.
"I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I can," Hayden said.
"Thank you, Hayden, but I don't think we need your help with this. Funerals don't cost much, and he probably won't want us to spend money on his mother's funeral," Ivy said.
Hayden agreed, "All right. Keep himpany, then." "Hayden, what about you and Shelly?" "You don't need to worry about us. Shelly and I will go for a walk outside. If you need anything, just call me," Hayden assured her. "Okay." Ivy returned to the hospital room, and Hayden and Shelly left the hospital building.

We paid her salary on tevery month, and we never withheld her wages." "I know about all that. The current issue is that Lucas doesn't want to have any contact with you, not that Ivy has a grudge against you," Hayden said.
Mr. Woods nodded, saying, "I understand. do owe Lucas a lot. I was absent from his life when he was a child. It wasn't until he was about to enter university that I brought him back into my life. But after did, I bent over backward to amodate him. I spent millions to put him through college, and I've never been particularly hard on him."
