She didn’t get a reply. Maybe he didn’t see it or it was a delay in the message Cornelia figured if she

gave him a call, he should hear it, right?

All she wanted was for him to be safe!

But, when she dialed Jeremy’s number, what came through the phone was a cold, emotionless robotic

voice, “The number you have dialed is currently switched off, please try again later.”

He had turned off his phonel Why did he turn off his phone? A sense of unease quickly spread through

Cornelia’s heart.

She didn’t want to think the worst, so she kept reassuring herself that Jeremy must be asleep and

would reply to her message when he woke up

But such consolation was useless, the unease continued to spread, quickly reaching every corner of

her body, making her hand holding the phone tremble slightly

*Nelly, why don’t you and me go for a walk in the yard? Granny Rebecca had noticed Cornelia’s anxiety

all day, but since she didn’t say anything. Granny didn’t ask

“Sure” Cornelia quickly put away her phone and helped Granny walk towards the yard.

The yard was a sea of flowers. It was springtime, and all sorts of red, blue, and white flowers were in

Southern Peak was close to Riverton, but the housing prices were different. The best houses in

Jeremy’s okay, right? He won’t leave me like my dad did, right? I won’t be unable to reach him ever

So, when she didn’t get a reply from Jeremy, it made her very anxious.

Granny Rebecca understood and hugged Cornelia, “Nelly, Jay is overseas, and there’s a time

difference. Maybe he just turned off his phone to sleep when you messaged him. Or maybe he’s just

overslept because he’s tired. Don’t worry”

Cornelia rested her head on Granny’s shoulder. “Granny, that’s what I’ve been telling myself. But I’m

scared I’m scared something bad will happen to Jeremy because of

me…”

Granny Rebecca felt a pang of pain hearing this, “Nelly, your parents‘ departure had nothing to do with

you. You can’t blame yourself for everything. Got it?”

Cornelia murmured, “But if it wasn’t for protecting me, dad wouldn’t have…”
