Itumed around and went to look for Grandma. After the mortuary cosmetologist did their job, Grandma looked much younger and more beautiful.

When Grandma and 1 first started living together, she was actually a popular lady in the village-famed for her beauty.

Even though we were poor back then, Grandma always did her best to dress us up and do our hair nicely. Since we were dressed nicely and were polite, people would invite us to their homes or give us something to eat wherever we went. I remembered that Grandma was respected in the village backtben. She was an amazing old lady...

Tears filled my eyes again. I turned away and raised my hand to wipe away my tears.

The mortuary cosmetologist was combing Grandma's hair I then walked over and touched her hair. "Let me do this. Thank you."

"Olay," the mortuary cosmetologist replied and turned to leave.

Only Grandma and I were left in the room. I slowly smoothed her hair and placed it on both sides of her shoulders.

I touched Grandma's face and said. "I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't take good care of you, but I'll definitely find the person who hurt you."

"Don't worry, Grandma." I continued, my voice unconsciously quivering. I took a few deep breaths and finally smiled I said, "I'll take good care of myself, so you don't have to say

Grandma's funeral was scheduled to be held in two days. I didn't notify anyone else, so only Lyla, Antoine, and I were at the funeral home. They stayed up with me all might, and the next day, they didn't feel so good.

The candlelights flickered. I got on my sees in the funeral hall, staring at Grandma's portrait without blinking.

This was my last chance to spend time with Grandma. I didn't want to waste even a single second. After spending time with Grandina, I would do everything that

After Lyla had rested for a few hours, she came to keep me company again. At night, I asked her to go home.

However, Lyla wiped hertears. "Eve, just let me stay with you."

I knew she was worned about me being here alone. After all, she had seen how I couldn't accept Grandma's death last night. She was afraid I'd do something out of "Don't

"I wiped her tears away and looked back at Grandma's photos. "I'll be fine. Don't worry. This is my last chance to be with her, so I want to spend some time with her alone."

Lyla looked at me and finally agreed to let me be alone with Grandma. After Lyla left, I stood beside Grandma. I looked at her without blinking and did my best to comunit her appearance to memory.

When I heard crying outside the room, I felt sorry. Since yesterday, I hadn't been able to shed a single tear.

I reached out and touched Grandma's face through the glass of the cothin, "Grandma I'm a bad person for not allowing Jack to return here to see you

one last time? But Grandma, he doesn't deserve to be your son."

After a pause, I smiled "But I continued, "I also don't deserve to be your granddaughter."
