She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 495

When Athena arrived, she found her grandmother had passed away peacefully, a serene smile still resting on her face.

Athena couldn't help but think that her grandmother had probably met the grandfather she'd never known in her dreams.

You always taught me to keep my word, and I couldn't break my vow to him. "I'm telling you now because you're not just anyone-you're my grandma, the one I love more than anything. You won't believe this, but when I was five, I met something amazing. I met a cat in the park that could write. And it really could, Grandma. Athena's voice softened as she continued, "It was injured at the time, lying in the grass, mewing weakly. I was about to pick it up and rush it to the vet when it surprised me-it started writing on the ground with its paw, telling me where it was hurt.

I took it home: Since you're allergic to cats, I kept it in my room, out of your way. It was
