"Excuse me, has Mr. Whitney’s body donation ceremony started? We are his students and want to record this significant moment to post on the school’s promotional website.”
"Mr. Whitney is truly great. He dedicated his life to teaching, and after his passing, he chose to return to the school as our body donor, which is incredibly touching. I’ll set up a special section for Mr. Whitney in our school journal to highlight his selfless dedication," one student said.
"Which one of you is Mr. Whitney’s family? We also want to interview you. It’s thanks to the support of the family that Mr. Whitney could make this heroic behavior. You’re all wonderful, and I’ll make sure to publicize this. Maybe it will even make the headlines!" another student added.
...
The students coming in kept talking, recording, taking photos, and live-streaming.
Their enthusiasm left Bianca’s mother-in-law and the mistress dumbfounded.
Noticing their changing expressions and silence, I stepped in quickly to defuse the situation.
"These students are here because I invited them. They are very grateful for Griffin’s contributions and want to record this great moment," I said.
"Don’t blame Bianca. Griffin was also my teacher. He mentioned in an interview that he wanted to donate his body to the school for medical teaching. I just wanted to help him fulfill his wish, which is why Bianca signed the donation agreement.
"Moreover, I’ve asked the hospital and the school, and they don’t mind live-streaming the donation ceremony. Griffin had some fame while alive, and after making such a significant decision, how could we quietly donate his body without letting people know?
"Griffin often looked after me while he was at school. I’m as heartbroken as Bianca over his accident, but as the living, we can’t ignore the wishes of the deceased."
As I spoke, tears streamed down my face, making it seem as if I was truly overwhelmed with grief.
Bianca’s mother-in-law, who had been furious and was about to drag Bianca to vent her anger, found herself unable to continue when faced with me and the students.
She and Cecilia exchanged glances, both speechless.
After all, my face was full of tears and sorrow.
They found it difficult to continue their outburst against me.
Seeing that they were no longer making a scene, I signaled the medical university staff to handle Griffin’s body quickly.
