Rebirth Into My Second Chance

"If you feel guilty about my parents, why not just tell me where you had them buried?"

Gabrielle seemed caught off guard by my question, her hands trembling as she held the soup. "Claire, you're still young. These burdens shouldn't fall on your shoulders. If you truly wish to pay your respects, how about I take you and Claude to visit their grave after you're married? Would that be okay?"

"Did my parents' death shake the Hart family that much? Or is there more to their death, so much so that there's not even ashes left, not to mention a proper burial?" Tears welled in my eyes as I spoke, and I could see Gabrielle avoiding my gaze.

So, it was true. The Hart family hadn't even bothered to retrieve my parents' bodies, leaving the people who saved Claude's life to be gone without leaving any trace in this world. "Claire..."

"Mrs. Hart, I'm just jesting. I won't ask anymore." I quickly smiled, realizing it wasn't the time to confront her, and picked up the soup, saying, "I'll go deliver the soup to Claudy." She gently touched the bandage on my hand. "Does it still hurt? Be more careful this time."

I nodded. There was something off about this soup, and I was curious to see what kind of surprise Gabrielle had prepared this time.

Gabrielle said, "Here, Claire, drink this milk first."

Milk and soup again! It seemed she was playing the same old tricks.
