That drastic transformation in Colton barely over a month past stunned Jacob.
"Jacob, Jacob…"
When Colton saw Jacob, he threw himself at the latter and shockingly broke down into a sniveling mess.
"Do calm yourself, Colton. What exactly happened here?" asked Jacob with a frown.
"Jacob, my dad, my dad…"
Colton choked while he pointed in the direction of the hall within the estate.
Without waiting for Colton to finish, Jacob broke away and made his way straight inside. Adorned with white fabrics throughout its interiors, everyone found inside the hall was dressed fully in black. Many of whom were gripped in a tearful state of grief.
