If the events before could be considered coincidences, how I'm sure of it-Anna must have known about my death long before. There was no other explanation for why she kept sending my ashes to my loved ones, time and again. It started with Luke, then Grandma, and the rest of the family.

I don't understand it. I was her biological sister. When was alive, she took everything that belonged to me. Why couldn't she leave me in peace even after my death? Why go so far as to torment me with such insanity?

She must have planned it all out, deciding that my death would remain a secret forever.

And why not? They had reduced me to ashes. Over time, naturally, everyone would forget about me.

They would think I was dead-or simply went missing

But didn't that mean I would have to exist in this ghostly form forever? How long would it last?

I appeared, disoriented, beside Grandma. When I saw her tired, aging face, a deep ache settled in my heart.

Mrs. Lambert brought over a glass of milk. She said, "Old Madam, it's getting late, and you haven't had much to eat tonight. Drink some milk and get some sleep. Ms. Chloe will be fine, I'm sure of it."

Grandma sighed and said. "You saw how shameless they are. I don't know what Anna's been feeding them., but ever since Chloe disappeared, there's been no sign of her. That girl, no matter how angry she might have been, was the most filial one. How could she not contact me? It's likely something bad happened to her.

See? Only those who truly care about you will worry about your whereabouts.

"Old Madam, you're overthinking. I think Ms. Chloe was just upset with Mr. Bolton. If she had contacted you earlier, her whereabouts would have been exposed. She's probably trying to make things difficult for Mr. Bolton on purpose."

Grandma argued, "But I sent people to investigate and found nothing. That girl has never been away from home this long, with no trace left behind. And then there's that bloody wedding dress... I...

How could Grandma not be worried? If it weren't for the wedding dress, perhaps we could have devised a plausible explanation for my disappearance.

Mrs. Lambert comforted, "I went to the police station to ask about the wedding drest. They only found the dress; nothing else belonged to Ms. Chloe. If she had truly been murdered, her body would have been discovered by now, wouldn't it? We haven't found anything, have we?"
