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.

She truly believed that her grandparents had been deeply in love. Only that kind of love and happiness could have kept her grandmother so warm and forgiving, even after losing her husband so young. "Miss Donovan, please accept our deepest condolences, the nurse and doctor said kindly. "This is a joyful sorrow. Your grandmother would want you to smile as you say goodbye."

Athena wiped away the last of her tears and nodded, her voice steady. "Yes, she's just fallen asleep... into the most beautiful, eternal dream."

She had prepared herself for this moment. What she wanted most was for her grandmother to leave this world without any

In addition to Athena and the Kennedy family. Matthew and the Donovan family had also made regular visits. Every time Athena's grandmother opened her eyes, she was surrounded by the people who loved her.

The love and attention had worked wonders. Athena's grandmother had been in great spirits these past few days. She ate more than usual, smiled more, and even her wrinkles seemed softer.

gently held her grandmother's cold, wrinkled hand, her heart full of memories. She spoke softly, as if her grandmother were still there to hear her. "Grandma, I've been keeping something huge from you. It's not because I wanted to hide it-I had to. My mentor insisted that unless it was gone from this world, I could never tell anyone. 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.
