Chapter 149 I Was Wrong

After tidying up her office, Lysander hailed a cab and headed to the cemetery.

At the entrance, she purchased a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and placed it in front of Elisa’s

mbstone.

The tombstone bore a photo of Elisa, a picture of her in her kindly old age. It seemed to hark back to the time when Lysander had just married Josiah. Elisa had a teasing smile on her face, expressing her wish for them to give her a great–grandchild soon.

“Grandma Elisa, I’ve come to see you.” Lysander gave Elisa’s tombstone a deep bow.

“It seems your dream of having a great–grandchild is no longer possible,” she said with a bitter smile. “However, I will visit you often in the future. If there’s anything you need on the other side, you can let me know through my dreams. Apart from having a great–grandchild, if there’s anything else within my power, I will find a way to do it for you.”

On the way home, her phone was insistently ringing.

Lysander casually ended the call.

When it rang again, she immediately turned off the phone.

As soon as she arrived home, she saw Daphne anxiously standing at the door. “Daphne?”
