Chapter 44 Grandpa Has Gone

“Yes, I can.”

Nicholas nodded and added, “Grandpa, I promise you.”

“Okay.” Grandpa was so happy that he smiled and said, “Then, I am rest assured now,”

“Go and bring Nancy in.”

Nancy was the last to enter.

When she reached the doorway, she desperately wiped away her tears.

She knew Grandpa wanted to see her smile, and he didn’t want her to cry,

So she had to hold it in, she shouldn’t cry, she absolutely shouldn’t.

After struggling to adjust her emotions, Nancy tried to smile and walked up to Grandpa, holding

his hand.

“Grandpa, it’s me, Nancy.”

Nancy kept on forcing herself, telling herself to smile.

She had to show her best side to Grandpa, make him happy, and not let him worry.

But she couldn’t hold back her tears as soon as she spoke.

“Nancy, don’t cry. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the laws of humanity. Everyone will eventually reach this stage. It’s just that I got there a little earlier. After I’m gone, what worries me the most is you.”

Nancy held his hand and desperately shook her head, “No, Grandpa. I don’t want you to pass away. I want you to always be by my side.”

“We made a promise, didn’t we? I still have to take you to travel. I still need to fulfill that promise. How can you leave me all alone?”

Nancy cried so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. She couldn’t accept it.

She even felt like everything in front of her was just a dream.

She thought that when she woke up, the dream would be over.

“Nancy, I know you’ve always harbored doubts about your marriage to Nicholas. You thought he wasn’t voluntary, so you were disappointed. But I want to tell you that sometimes the process isn’t

Nancy nodded. “Yes.”
