Chapter 1018: Starting from the Root

Tina stopped in front of a gravestone. It was new, with Nancy's name already engraved on it.

There was no photo.

Claudia had done so much evil under Nancy's guise.

Tina didn't want Nancy to see anything that could stir up bad memories.

Jennie stepped forward, unwrapping the bundle she carried. She began taking out the items one by one, speaking to the gravestone as if addressing Nancy directly.

"These clothes were yours. Originally, I thought of making a burial mound for you, but I didn't expect we'd actually find you..."

"And these two jade pendants... When you threatened to drive me out of our home, wasn't it these you were looking for? They're yours now. I won't go back to that house anymore, and no one will fight you for anything again."

"Don't worry. Oliver is doing well in the hospital. I visit him every day."

"When he recovers, I'll bring him home to live with me. He'll grow up with Zackary, go to school together. And if he can't live like everyone else, that's okay too. I've discussed it with Xiang Kun-so long as there's a place for Zackary, there will be a place for Oliver."

Tina stood silently behind her, saying nothing.

When Jennie wiped the corners of her eyes and turned around, Tina stepped forward, held out her hand, and said, "Jennie, let's go."

Jennie took her hand and nodded. "Alright."

On the way back, Jennie felt as if a weight had been lifted from her chest. She glanced at Tina beside her and spoke from the heart, "Tina, thank you for everything regarding Nancy."

Tina didn't think it was anything special. "Jennie, there's no need for thanks between family. That's what you taught me."

Jennie nodded, looking at Tina with warmth in her eyes. "I'm so lucky to have you as my daughter."

Tina suddenly asked, "Does Ella know about this?"

Logically, Ella wouldn't ignore something this important.

Jennie gave a bitter smile and shook her head. "I didn't tell her. She holds a grudge against Nancy. Even if I told her, she wouldn't come back. It's all from so many years ago, but that child has always kept it in her heart."
