Chapter 323"Let's eat."Scarlett glanced at Larry. She needed some time to digest it.Scarlett ate absent-mindedly.However, Larry didn't just want to be reunited with Scarlett. He looked up at Scarlett across the table. "Grandpa has been wanting to meet you after hearing about you.Larry paused. "Our grandma was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer five years ago. She managed to hang on just to meet your mother. She has been tortured by Aunt's appearance for many years. Three months ago, the doctor told us Grandma was in critical condition and was given no more than a month to live. She is holding on because she is waiting for you and your mother."Auntie passed away. Now the only one who can fulfill her wish is you. Scarlett, I hope you can go back with me. We've been waiting for you to come home."Larry was a cold man, but his voice was full of affection. Scarlett's nose twitched. Her eyes turned red.She looked up at Larry, saying after a pause, "Okay."Larry said that the
Chapter 324The rain at night was cold. Raymond had been standing at the door for a while.Although Frank tried to hold his umbrella to protect Raymond's face from rain, he could do nothing with the wind and drizzling rain."Mr. Shaw, Ms. Reed has left."Although the truth was cruel, Frank had to tell him. After all, they still had an appointment.Unexpectedly, they ran into Scarlett and a strange man. They seemed to be close. The man was tall and handsome. Scarlett stood beside him, looking petite. Even Frank had to admit they were a good match.Both of them were good-looking.Frank took a look at Raymond, feeling that he was quite miserable. Raymond found he fell in love with Scarlett after the divorce, but he failed to win her heart. What was worse, he had so many rivals.When they were just divorced, the popular star Mark pursued Scarlett. Then she dated her rich neighbor Antony. A few months ago, the heir of Naland Real Estate, Henry, appeared beside her.Clair said he wa
Chapter 325The plane landed in Deeton City at 11.00 p.m. When they walked out of the airport, the car sent by the Tank family was already waiting for them outside.The three of them got into the car and went back to the Tank family's mansion. The shadows of the street lights were like the footprints of people returning home.Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the Tank family's mansion.Scarlett glanced at the phone clock. It was almost midnight."Here we are, Scarlett."Larry looked at her and got out of the car.Scarlett followed out of the car into the mansion that was brightly lit.Just as they walked in, a woman with a kind face greeted them. "You're Scarlett, right?"The woman bore a slight resemblance to Larry. Scarlett speculated that she should be Larry's mother, Viviana Castro.Scarlett smiled slightly. "Yes, aunt."Probably because it was very sudden, Viviana was stunned. After a pause, she gently patted Scarlett's shoulder. "Darling, your grandpa is waiting
Chapter 326Ever since the year she was seventeen, standing alone outside the funeral home waiting for her parents to be cremated, Scarlett had been afraid of facing death.Scarlett thought about a lot of things tonight. She didn't sleep until after four in the morning.At seven o'clock, the alarm clock rang loudly.Scarlett frowned, sat up, and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.She came back to the Tank family last night with Larry, and today she would go to the hospital to see her grandma.Last night she didn't sleep well. Scarlett looked weary.Just after she washed her face, a maid came over to remind her to go downstairs for breakfast.Scarlett glanced at Alexis' message, raised her eyebrows, and replied, "Let's talk about it later". She then went downstairs.This matter couldn't be easily explained. Alexis asked her how she got involved with Larry. Scarlett could only tell her this.Last night she and Larry were photographed when they walked to the parking lot from
Chapter 327It had been long since Scarlett had been in a hospital. The smell of disinfectant made her uncomfortable.The corridor outside the VIP ward was very quiet. There was only the sound of their footsteps.Viviana walked ahead, carrying the chicken soup cooked by maids. Scarlett was supporting Rowan.Rowan participated in several big wars when he was young. He was shot in the left shin and right thigh. Now he was aged. He felt unwell when it rained.He was getting older and weaker. Though proud, he had to admit that he was no longer young.He would rather walk slower than let others help him, but the person that was helping him was Scarlett, Pearl's daughter. As he gazed at Scarlett's face, which was similar to Pearl's, Rowan's heart melted. He would do as Scarlett wished as long as she was happy.Rowan couldn't walk fast. Scarlett slowed down her pace. When they entered the ward, Viviana had rolled up the bed.After being tortured by cancer for more than five years, Sca
Chapter 328Scarlett looked at her grandma's lips moving, feeling so sad.She gently held the old lady's hand, leaning down and whispering in her, "Grandma, my mother was happy in those years. My father loved her very much and pampered her."After she said that, tears ran out of her grandma's eyes.Rowan turned around and wiped his tears. "Scarlett, stay with your grandmother."Hearing what he said, Viviana walked over and helped him out of the room.Viviana had been married for forty years. Scarlett's grandma was generous and open-minded. They got along well. Before she got sick, the two of them often went shopping and traveling together.Viviana watched her mother-in-law being tortured by cancer for more than five years. Seeing that the old lady was excited to see Scarlett, Viviana couldn't help crying.Losing Pearl left a scar in every Tank's heart.The old lady should have passed away two months ago, but to wait for today, she endured great pain.Now that Scarlett was her
Chapter 329Scarlett's grandma passed away with one hand over Scarlett's face and the other hand on her back.Scarlett crouched there until Viviana propped her up. "Darling, get up. Your grandmother has left us."Scarlett moved but her legs were numb, and her eyes were red when she looked up.She accompanied her grandma these two days. She thought the affection between relatives was strange. The Tank family had looked for them for more than thirty years, and her grandma hung on just to wait for her mother.Although Scarlett had never contacted the Tank family in the past 27 years, she felt sad.A passing nurse found that the old lady had passed away, but she saw Scarlett lying on her knees. It was so warm and loving that the nurse didn't have the heart to disturb her. Thus, she informed the Tanks.Scarlett had been in the hospital staying with her grandma for several days. Viviana came over at noon and in the evening. Rowan didn't come here again after that day.He probably kne
Chapter 330Of course, Ben had no objection. A junior in the Tank family mumbled. When Larry looked over coolly, Jessie shut up and didn't dare say another word.This was the third time Scarlett had held her family's urn. When her parents died, she was the one who carried two urns with her parents' ashes and followed the hearse to the cemetery for burial.No one of Booker's family showed up, leaving Justin and Alexis with her for the entire session.And now she was holding the urn. Her grandmother Kate Brown weighed more than 50kg when she was alive, but now her ashes only weighed 0.5kg.Life was so heavy and so light.It was already dark when they came out of the cemetery.Rowan was in poor health and would get rheumatism on rainy days. He stood for over an hour before Scarlett and Larry persuaded him back.The Tank family's relatives had left, leaving her and Larry in the cemetery.Scarlett had been with Kate for the past few days while listening to her stories from Viviana.
