Seeing the disappointed look on Sebastian''s face, Sydney felt bad. "I can talk to her."


    Sebastian''s lowered eyes shed at that instant. He looked up, and said with slight shock, "What did you say?"


    Sydney repeated herself, "I can talk to her and try to persuade her to go abroad with you soon, and help you regain your memories."


    Somehow, Sebastian had this feeling that Sydney was scheming against him. Why was she suddenly helping him?


    "Don''t joke around with me," he said.


    "I''m not joking. I mean it," Sydney replied.


    "Why are you helping me?"


    "For Theodore, for Rose, and to make things not soplicated between the three of you."


    "What about Rose''s grandmother? Rose would never abandon her and go abroad."


    "That''s why I need to talk to her," Sydney went on. "Whether I end up sessful or not, I''ll do my best."


    Rosalie soon helped Reba back to the dining hall, where both of them sat back down.


    She was initially worried Sydney might get into an argument with Sebastian, but it seemed as though nothing had happened between the two of them so far.


    The four of them subsequently chatted for a long time until it was time to go.


    As they left the private room, Rosalie clung onto Reba''s arm, reluctant to leave. She really wanted to go back with Reba.


    When they arrived at the car park, Sydney said, "Mom, go into the car first. I''ll be with you right away."


    Reba nodded, feeling tired already. Sydney opened the car door, and carefully helped Reba into the car.


    After shutting the door, Sydney approached Rosalie, her gaze on Sebastian. There was an inexplicable look in her eyes.


    "May I have a minute with Rose alone?" she asked.


    Sebastian nodded before telling Rosalie, "I''ll wait for you in the car."


    Rosalie nodded. "Go ahead."


    Sydney and Rosalie were soon left all alone.


    "Mom, do you have something to tell me?" Rosalie asked.


    "Rose, you''ve seen for yourself Grandma''s condition."


    "Mom, I didn''t expect Grandma to be like this. Had I known..."


    "Even if you had known, you wouldn''t be able to prevent it," Sydney said, cutting her off. "Her condition is incurable, and it will only worsen with time. Grandma was very disoriented and confused today. She wasn''t in such a bad state

    yesterday. Only heaven knows what she will be like tomorrow."


    "Mom, I want to be with Grandma."


    "Silly girl," Sydney said as she held Rosalie''s hand and patted it gently. "Being with Grandma is the least of your worries right now." "Why? Grandma needs me."


    "She doesn''t need you," Sydney said. "She doesn''t even remember you. Why would she need you?"


    "But..." Rosalie said, "If I''m not with her, what if she wants to see me?"


    Sydney sighed. "Your grandma told


    me today that she met you


    yesterday, and that you two chatted about many things. You''re still a


    child in her memories. She might not even recognize you as Rose seeing you right now. You don''t need to worry about her not seeing you physically. Even if she doesn''t, she still thinks she has seen you."


    "Even so, I want to be with Grandma," Rosalie insisted.


    "Rose, hear me out. Given


    Grandma''s condition right now, she wouldn''t be able to take it. It would be best that you don''t keep appearing before her. That would only create self-doubt in her, as she finds you familiar-looking but fails to remember who you are. It would only make her feel miserable, and it would be a torture for others as well as for herself."


    Rosalie lowered her head as tears streamed down her face. "What should I do, then? Do I really just not see Grandma?"C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Go to another country."


    Rosalie''s heart skipped a beat. "Mom, what did you just say?"
