"Excuse me, young sir, what can I do for you?"

Could it be that my child did something illegal outside?

Such an idea came to the old woman's mind, but she quickly rejected it.

She knew her own child would never do anything illegal.

So, what was the purpose of this young police officer's visit this time?

Hearing the question from the old woman in front of him, Eros spoke softly:

"I'm looking for old lady Naomi. Excuse me, is she living in your house now?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a long while and said slowly:

"She is my sister and has been staying at my house recently. May I ask what you want to see her about?"

Eros hesitated for a moment, but finally said truthfully:

"It's about her child, Mr. Vadim."

"Vadim!" the old woman murmured to herself, and then said to Eros:

"Young sir, please come in and sit down!"

"Julie, go to the backyard and call Naomi. Young sir, please wait. Naomi will be here soon."

After a long while, Eros silently looked at the old woman who seemed a little dazed and sitting on the sofa opposite.

Just now, he told the two elderly women in front of him about Mr. Vadim's unfortunate death while participating in the firefighting.

The old lady named Naomi was surprisingly quiet after learning the news of her only son's unfortunate death, but her eyes looked a little dazed.

After a long time, the old woman named Naomi grabbed Eros' wrist with her skinny hand, looked at Eros with some disbelief, and asked in her trembling voice:

"Officer! You said Vadim is dead?"

Looking at the disbelieving look in the old woman's eyes, Eros turned his face away and said nothing.

The old woman understood what Eros wanted to say, so she let go of Eros's hand, sat back on the sofa in a daze, and murmured to herself:

"Vadim is dead? He is dead..."

Although the old woman did not cry, Eros could clearly feel a sense of sadness from her.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, people will not cry when they are extremely sad.
