Chapter 230

Upon hearing this, my tense nerves gradually relaxed!

Aunt Laura was right.

If it's not biological, who could do such a thing?

I helped Aunt Laura lie down on the bed, bent over to tuck her in. "How have you been feeling these days? Are you getting better?"

"Much better. The doctor said after another round of chemotherapy, I can focus on recuperating."

"That's good."

As I straightened up, Aunt Laura grabbed the silver pendant that had slipped out of my collar, carefully placed it back, and said, "Keep this silver pendant close to you. Don't let others see it."

I was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

Why would a piece of jewelry seem so secretive?

Aunt Laura's eyes flashed as she explained, "It's... very valuable. I'm afraid it might attract ill- intentioned people."

"Alright, I understand."

The color of this silver pendant was even more elusive than the two jade ornaments grandpa had prepared for the children.
