Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 314

Claire closed her eyes, hiding the surge of emotion threatening to spill over. She reached out and wrapped her arms gently around her grandmother's waist.

"I just want you to be happy every day, Grandma. You've been so good to me." Even if I'm not here in the future, I don't want you to be sad.

Life goes on, with or without anyone.

Claire nuzzled into her grandmother's embrace, breathing in the comforting warmth that made her feel utterly safe.

Sensing Claire's closeness, her grandmother's heart melted.

She gently patted Claire's back. "I want you to be happy every day too, sweetheart."

"Mm." Claire's voice was muffled, heavy with sleep.

"You must be tired after being out all day, aren't you?" her grandmother asked softly.

"A little."

"Then just nap here for a while." Her grandmother made no move to let her go, holding Claire close.
