Chapter 64

Chapter 64:

As Sadie gripped Laura’s delicate hand, her tears began to flow.

“Grandma, it’s such a relief to see your eyes open! I was terrified when you collapsed. What caused your heart attack?” Sadie’s voice trembled with emotion.

Laura had always been healthy, with no history of heart issues, making the attack even more baffling to Sadie.

With her other hand, Laura reached out to brush away Sadie’s tears. Her own eyes brimmed with tears, too.

“Sadie, have you been keeping secrets from me?” Laura whispered weakly.

Frozen by the question, Sadie responded, “What?”

Laura’s eyes searched Sadie’s, filled with deep concern.

“Have you been involved with another woman’s man?” Laura’s words were heavy with grief, and her tears flowed freely. “It’s my fault. I failed to keep you safe.”

Confusion clouded Sadie’s expression, and her anxiety mounted. “Grandma, why would you think that? Who has been filling your head with such lies?” Sadie’s voice rose in frustration.
