Only Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes stayed with her.
However, none of them knew how to comfort others. Becca Reyes tried to make her laugh and lighten her mood, but when Janice Wood smiled, it looked even worse than crying.
At the funerals of the two heroes, the atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn, as if it were suffocating, so heavy that it could not be lifted. All the Frogmen cried. Their families were in tears. The two mothers were on the brink of fainting.
They were in their prime. How could their families accept their sudden deaths?
The only consolation was that Winsley's family did not blame Janice Wood. They even comforted her, saying that it had nothing to do with her. They regretted that she did not become their daughter-in-law, but they were also glad that she survived. Yet, no one missed the grief and regret in their eyes.
They were good people, magnanimous, so they did not want an innocent girl to bear the blame for a life.
