“What an unfilial granddaughter I am!” Raegan scolded herself.
She hadn't granted any of her grandmother's wishes even though how little these
wishes were. How useless of her!
Startled by her tears, the shopkeeper gave her an extra bag of cakes and said
comfortingly, “Cheer up, young lady. No matter what Life throws at you, you need
to stick your chest out and never give up.
Take a bite of these delicious red bean-flavored cakes. You'll love them.”
Raegan thanked the shopkeeper. She picked up a piece of cake and slowly put it
in her mouth to have a taste on behalf of her grandmother.
But as her teeth sank into the soft cake, pea-sized tears began to flow from her
eyes again. Some found their way into her mouth. There was a burst of salty and
sweet flavors in her mouth, but all she could taste was bitterness.
The shopkeeper was taken aback.
“Is it not good?”
Feeling weak in the knees, Raegan squatted and wept like a child.
She sobbed.
“It's delicious... But my grandmother didn’t get to taste it before...”
Her grandma would never taste it again.
Angela's Library
A day later, Lauren was now in a stable condition and her father had flown over
from Swynborough.
Mitchel finally got the chance to look at his phone. There were five missed calls
from his mother.
There were no new messages, not even from Raegan.
For Pete’s sake, why was this woman so stubborn? Couldn't she just make a
compromise for peace to reign?
Mitchel smoked three cigarettes just to let off steam. Then, he swallowed his
pride and called Raegan.
But her phone was switched off.
Abad feeling rose in his heart. He was worried something was amiss and asked
Matteo to inquire about the situation.
After hanging up the phone, Matteo sighed deeply and kept silent for a few
seconds. He then reported, “Sir, Mrs. Dixon's grandmother passed away. The
funeral is currently ongoing.”
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in Mitchel’s ears. He couldn't believe his
ears. He raised an eyebrow sometime later.
“What did you just say?”
Matteo paused for a moment before repeating, “Your wife's grandmother is
dead.”
In Tenassie’s funeral home, there was a rule that the departed had to be
cremated before the memorial ceremony commenced.
