How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 265

The old woman hesitated for a while, her lips working as if searching for the right words.

At last, her voice dropped to a gentle firmness. "Sweetheart, don't you worry. I won't let anyone mistreat you. If you're ever upset or troubled, just come to me- Grandma will always help you sort it out. As far as the Silverstein family is concerned, you are our one and only granddaughter-in-law."

Elodie understood the message behind those words.

Grandma was trying to reassure her, but she was also making her stance clear.

Some things simply couldn't be discussed outright.

Lowering her eyes, Elodie's gaze remained soft and composed. "Thank you, Grandma."

Because of the agreement between her and Jarrod, she couldn't explain the divorce to Grandma. She could only give vague replies.

At the very least, she'd promised Jarrod to play by these rules and she intended to keep her word.

Grandma asked if she was still at the hospital.

Elodie answered honestly—she'd been there that morning.

Only then did Grandma sound relieved.
