As the coffin was carefully placed into the designated hearse, the family members began to exit the church. The media, stationed outside the church gates, were busy snapping photographs and recording footage, their cameras flashing nonestop despite the security's efforts to keep them at a distance.
The crowd of reporters and photographers buzzed with questions and speculations, but the barriers set up by the security ensured the family's privacy was maintained.
Aurora and Kane emerged from the church, their expressions somber. Madeline, seeing Aurora, approached her and said, "Aurora, please join us in the family car. It's important for you to be with us during the procession."
Aurora nodded and followed Madeline to the waiting family vehicle. The car was a sleek, black limousine reserved for the immediate family. Aurora took her seat inside.
