Wise Words Sure enough, Grace was overjoyed when we got home. | She learned we visited the Beringer | | home. Her first words to my mom were, "Chlo is good! It''s the Murphy family who are unfortunate." Even if my mom were upset about the past, she would not hate a dying person. She just smiled.


    As stayed to chat with my dad for a while before he left.


    After putting Ava to bed, Grace knocked on my door. I quickly let her in.


    She still seemed awkward in front of me. I reached out and pulled her to sit on the couch. "Is there something on


    your mind?" "Well...not really. I just wanted to spend some time with you," she said cautiously, and it tugged at my heart. I couldn''t stand seeing someone so vulnerable. I sat beside her just like old times.


    Grace took care of me wholeheartedly during my postpartum period. She cared for me even more than her son.


    Matthew was already involved with Mnie then. Grace was the only one who genuinely took care of me.


    "Mom..." I awkwardly called her.


    After all, I had used this term for over a decade, so it had be a habit. They just hurt me too deeply.


    Grace burst into tears. ""Chlo, I''mFrom N?velDrama.Org.


    cursed! I''lost you, even after having you. I must have done something wrong in my past life to deserve this.


    That''s why I''m facing this retribution!" ""Mom, please don''t say that! After all, we were a family for ten years. You''re my child''s grandmother! Just think of me as your daughter! Don''t dwell on that heartless person," Iforted her.


    ""Be happy with the time you have left.


    Both As and I are trying to find a cure for you. Let''s not give up hope.


    Every extra day you live means another day Ava has her grandmother. In the Murphy family, you''re the one who truly cares for her!" Grace kept wiping her tears. "I never expected that, as I grew older, I''d end


    up without a family." "Mom! Isn''t this your home? It''s Ava''s { home, which means it''s yours too!" "You... and Mr. As are doing well! As long as he doesn''t mind that you''re... " She nced at me sneakily. "''I mean nothing else. He''s perfect, you know..." She started crying again, and I felt a lump in my throat.


    "He is. He treats both of us exceptionally well." "As long as he continues to be good to Ava, you should take it further. After all, you''re still young. I heard he''s well-off. You won’t have to be concerned about money!" She was being very candid.


    IE "Mom, I''m not very materialistic. You knew I wanted nothing from the Murphy family when I was with Matthew."  She nodded. "Yes, you''re not after money!" I chuckled. "Back then, I knew what kind of house your family lived in. I wouldn''t have chosen him if I were a materialistic woman." I realized how naive I was.


    "However, he hurt me too deeply. I''m not like what you think, Mom. I don''t have to fight for this house. Even marriagews explicitly state that a couple''s joint property should be divided fairly." I needed to dispel the rumor that I had taken their house.


    "You know he wanted to leave me long ago. How many of your savings exceed mine? I didn''t even have money on me when I took the child to the hospital.


    Isn''t the Murphy family being too much?" @
