Chapter 105

With the master’s words, I recalled the scene when my grandmother gave me the bracelet that day, and a strong sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

I asked him, “Could it be fixed?”

The master said, “For treasures like this, I would naturally use the best techniques to repair them, but…”

“Money is not a problem, as long as it can be fixed,” I quickly responded.

“It’s not a matter of money, but even if it is repaired perfectly, to the point where not even a trace of a crack can be seen, it still exists with a crack.”

“Ah, what a pity.”

I lowered my gaze, feeling a surge of sadness in my heart.

Yeah. No matter how perfectly the bracelet was repaired, that crack always remained in Grandma’s heart.

The bracelet repair cost fifty thousand. After I made the payment, I looked at the remaining three thousand in my account and smiled bitterly. Luckily, I still had a job, and luckily, my brother let me stay in his rented house. Otherwise, I would really have no money to live on.

Coming out of the processing shop, I was originally planning to go back, but then I remembered my grandmother who was still in the hospital, so I decided to go and see her. As long as I didn’t meet Reynaldo, it was fine. To check on Grandma’s condition and make sure she was fine, so that I could fully relax.

There was a direct subway to the hospital, and taking the subway was much more comfortable than taking the bus. I wish there was a subway that could take me to my rented place. On the subway, I asked Winston for my grandmother’s ward number. I arrived at the hospital in just half an hour and went straight to the Inpatient Department on the tenth floor.

I arrived at the door of my grandmother’s hospital room, but I didn’t dare to go in and see her directly. I could only peek at her through the small window on the door panel. As long as she was okay, I would leave.

However, when I looked inside, I immediately saw Reynaldo. He sat by the bedside, holding a storybook, and was telling a story to his grandmother. The soft light fell on him, giving him a gentle touch throughout his whole being.

I watched him silently, feeling a sourness in my nose. The previous Reynaldo, he was also gentle like this, but I lost him.

I took a slight breath, suppressed the bitterness in my heart, and looked at my grandmother. Grandma’s complexion looked pretty good. She listened to Reynaldo telling stories while holding a bowl and drinking porridge. Seeing my grandmother safe and sound, I was completely relieved.

I glanced deeply at Reynaldo and was about to leave. Grandma suddenly said to him, “In the future, don’t blame my daughter-in-law.”

I stopped in my tracks, looking at my grandmother with a mix of emotions both touched and guilty.

Reynaldo frowned and said, “She made you sick with anger, and…”

“I was also at fault, it’s all because of my illness…”

“Alright, Grandma, please don’t speak up for her anymore. I know her the best. She is the kind of person who won’t understand gratitude and won’t acknowledge her own mistakes.” The more you treated her well, the more she took advantage of it.

My heart clenched tightly, causing sharp pain. I really didn’t have any goodness in his heart. I admit I was very harsh on him before, but the punishment from heaven was too heavy for me. Why did I have to fall in love with someone who despised me?

“Who?”

Suddenly, Reynaldo seemed to notice that there was someone outside the door. He grunted and got up, walking towards the door.

I panicked and quickly turned around, darting into the nearby aisle. I casually entered an empty ward. I hid for a long time, but there were no footsteps outside the door. I pursed my lips and carefully opened the door to look outside.

Then, I saw Reynaldo standing at the exit of the corridor, and…. Kimberly. The two of them didn’t know what they were talking about, Kimberly had a smile on her face, and Reynaldo had a gentle expression.

I self-mockingly tugged at my lips. Reynaldo was not a naturally cold man; he was just cold in front of the people he despised. Look, his gaze towards Kimberly was always so gentle.

Soon, Reynaldo took Kimberly to see her grandmother. Sure, Reynaldo’s crush is Kimberly, and Kimberly will eventually become Grandma’s daughter-in-law. And a gentle and lovely girl like Kimberly, Grandma would definitely like her.

It was right for me not to meet with my grandmother. As time went by, my grandmother would naturally forget about me and favor Kimberly, her daughter-in-law.
