Chapter 244 244: A Letter

Eveline kept talking until she ran out of words, leaving only a wordless communication that kept her seated there, never letting go.

The timer out of her thoughts.

"Are you Miss Eveline?"

Eveline directed her gaze towards an elderly man. He appeared to be a sweeper, cleaning the area surrounding the graveyard.

"Yes, but how do you know my name?" She inquired.

The elderly man laughed, as if he had finally gotten hold of her. His eyes were filled with happiness.

"Your mother told me," he replied, his voice raspy and exhausted due to the old age.

"My mother?"

"Yes, your mother." "She asked me to give you something," he remarked, leaving Eveline interested by his remarks.

Eveline tried to recall if she had ever seen this man before, but she couldn't because she rarely came here and spent most of her time with her father on her death anniversary.

"Please follow me," he murmured, as Eveline stood up and followed him into a little cottage-style room.

Maybe it was his office, or something.

The old guy set aside his broom and headed to a little cupboard, where he drew out an envelope.

"I'm finally able to give it to its rightful owner," the man said, smiling.

"How do you know my mother? She passed away years ago." Eveline was hesitant, but she accepted the package from him and continued to probe.

"I understand. I've been washing her tombstone for years. But these letters were given to her before she died," he explained, as she furrowed her brow.

"She knew she was going to die?" the question came to her mind.

"You can sit here and read those letters if you want," he added, but she quickly refused.

"That is fine, sir. I'll read them at home. Thank you for giving them to me," she said. The man nodded.

Eveline had no idea what her mother was thinking when she penned these letters, but the fact that she was preparing for her death twisted her stomach in the worst manner.

She smiled one final time and walked away.
