That day, Ava told Grace to stop bullying me. I knew Grace wouldn't have forgotten it.

Indeed, she paled and gluped.

I continued, “Also, stop saying this house belongs to your family. Do you know where your

family would be without me and my

company?! I was kind enough not to take away your current house.

“You can still be Ava’s grandmother if you behave. However, I'll shut you off from her if

you insist on harassing me.” I looked at

her sternly and understood something. I pitied her misfortune but resented her

unwillingness to compromise.

Grace stared at me with misty eyes and remained silent for a while. Finally, she cleared

her throat and asked, “Then why did you

send Ava to Celestis Island? Why do you always seem to send her away whenever I visit?”

I replied, “It has nothing to do with you. Ava and I have other things happening, so you

should understand that our lives have

nothing to do with your family. Can't we arrange our own lives and schedules? Me sending

Ava to Celestis Island was a

coincidence.”

Grace retracted her aggressive stance and asked with a hint of uncertainty, “When will

she get home?”

“She'll return when she’s happy again. I told you that I'll call you when she gets home.” I

glanced at Grace. “Just keep your

phone on.”

“I... I don’t have one,” Grace mumbled while avoiding my gaze.

“What?” I was puzzled, wondering how she didn't have a phone.

She lowered her head and grumbled, “Abby took it from me.” I sighed and approached the

drawer beside the liquor cabinet,

finding an old phone I had replaced. I turned it on, deleted my information, and handed it

to Grace. “Here, there are many

pictures of Ava inside. You can look at them when you miss her.”

She looked at me in shock. "You're giving it to me?”

"Yes." Her demeanor pained my heart, and I wondered where Matthew's filial piety went.

“Now, will you stop being so forceful

toward me? If you're like this, how could Abby take away your things?

“What are you afraid of? You raised her daughter, so how can she be so arrogant? You

should focus on venting your frustrations

on Abby instead of me." I couldn't help but resent her.

Considering Grace's clothes, I knew the Murphys had left her with little. Grace had lost a

lot of weight and looked like a different person. With a heavy heart, I said, “You can tell me

if you need anything. Since you cared so much for Ava, I'll still help you.” I almost wanted

to slap myself after saying that. I wondered why I still bothered with those from the

Murphys. However, I would

adhere to my words since I had said them. I wouldn't be at odds with an older woman like

Grace.

Her demeanor changed, and her voice trembled, “You'll still let me see Ava? You won't

stop me, right?”

“No, I never said you couldn't see her. Again, I'll tell you when she returns, and you can

come and cook for her,” I reiterated.

"Okay, then. I..." She wiped a tear and glanced at me, struggling to speak. "Chloe, I might

not... have much time left."

I was startled and looked at her. “What do you mean?”

“Oh, let's not talk about it. Just let me see Ava.” From her expression, it didn’t look like she

was trying to gain sympathy.

"Is something wrong with your health? Tell me.” I had to make sure. If her health was in

jeopardy, it could affect my daughter.

She looked at me pitifully before hesitantly saying, "Chloe, my body might not be doing so

well.”
