Barbara slowly lowered her raised hand, her clouded eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Aveline.

"Are you telling the truth?" Seeing that Barbara had calmed down, Aveline helped her lean back against the headboard and replied, "Yes, we're getting divorced soon." Barbara pressed further, "When are you getting divorced?" Aveline answered, "In seven days." Barbara counted on her fingers and then looked at her, "You better not be lying to me. If you dare lie, I'll still hit you!" Aveline looked helpless.

If she wanted to hit, she could let her, right? Pulling a chair over, Aveline sat down and looked at Barbara's wrinkled face. "Grandma, do you really not rememberat all?" Barbara's face remained stern. "Why should I remember you? Are you that important?" A flicker of sadness crossed Aveline's eyes.

Indeed.

She wasn't important.

So, it didn't matter if she was remembered or not.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Aveline kept her gaze down, not looking at Barbara's expression.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her head.

"Don't be sad. Here, take this." Barbara's slightly awkward voice broke the silence. "You better take good care of it. If it breaks, I'll be upset." Her tone was like that of a child.

Aveline was startled. She reached up to take the wreath off her head. "Who gave this to you?" Barbara replied, "I don't know!" The caregiver walked in and said, "Miss Young, this is the one you gave to Mrs. Tudor a while back. She has kept it safe ever since. But later, when she regained sclarity, she never mentioned the wreath again. I stored it away properly. Today, out of nowhere, she started asking for it, so I found it and gave it to her. She has been holding onto it and looking at it ever since." Aveline was startled by the caregiver's words.

Was this wreath really the one she had made for Barbara back then? She couldn't even remember it herself! But looking closely, although it had been flowell-kept, the leaves and ad still withered, a Her eyes stung with an inexplicable soreness, and her vision blurred unexpectedly.

Barbara looked at her, then suddenly reached out and wiped the corner of her eye. "Hey, why are you crying? I won't hit you, okay? Please don't cry." But the more Barbara wiped, the more tears fell, like broken beads silently rolling down Aveline's cheeks.

Her vision blurred with tears, Aveline gazed at Barbara's aged, worry-lined face, now filled with anxiety and helplessness. Aveline asked, "Can I have a hug?" Barbara immediately opened her arms. "Sure, chere, a hug will make you stop crying." Aveline leaned into Barbara's embrace, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

It was rare for her to let her emotions show like this, but today seeing!. s, but this wreath, she just couldn't hold back. The Barbara from the past had been so kind to her! But the Barbara from the past was gone forever.

Barbara patted her back, soothing her like a child.

"Don't cry, don't cry now. Grandma's here." Aveline shut her eyes tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

She pulled away from Barbara's embrace, wiping her face, and just then, a noise cfrom the En doorway. Lucas entered and saw the scene-Aveline was crying! His expression instantly darkened as he looked at Barbara. "Did you bully her?"
