Chapter 2041 Love, Not Regret

His eyes narrowed at her words. "Which one?"

"Your adoptive mother, of course," his grandmother calmly replied, facing him head-on. "She didn't so much as flinch when I warned her of her impending death."

Rui's eyes widened with shock. "…What?"

"Now there was a woman who understood who she was." Matriarch Nephi ignored his incredulity. "When she learned of her impending death, she made sure that when the time came, she could rest without any regrets."

Rui stared at his grandmother in shock. "…You foresaw my mother's death?"

"Of course, I periodically employ prophecy on the orphanage, just in case," she replied. "When I foresaw her natural death and informed her, she worked hard in the next two years to ensure that neither she nor the ones she loved would suffer from regret when it came to pass."

Rui stared at her, speechless.

"She spent more time with each and every single one of her loved ones, imparting enough love to last a lifetime," she closed her eyes. "I suspect that that is why the Quarrier Family was able to move forward with their heads held high and eyes pinned on the future."

Rui's eyes darkened as his fists clenched.

"I should have never left."

"Then you wouldn't have broken through," his grandmother calmly replied. "…I wonder what she would have imparted to me had I been able to speak with her one last time."

"Hm," Matriarch Nephi's regarded his words. A single question escaped her.

"Would you like to find out?"

Rui raised an eyebrow as he watched her reach into a counter.

She pulled out an envelope.

Rui's eyes lit up. "Is that…?"
