Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 404

After Jeffry finished explaining everything in detail, the old matriarch felt as if her heart had been torn apart, stabbed by a thousand needles.

With trembling steps, she moved closer to the little girl, slowly kneeling down and gazing at the child who so closely resembled Claire. Tears broke free, streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Opening her arms, her voice quivered as she called out, "Come here, darling. Come to your great-grandma."

The girl glanced anxiously at Sean, only moving forward when he nodded reassuringly.

The old woman pulled her into a tight embrace, as though holding the most precious treasure in the world-pouring all her love and pain into that hug.

She murmured, "Oh, what a tragedy. How much has Claire suffered through all these years? And how much pain has our sweet child endured?"

The little girl blinked her wide, glistening eyes. Seeing the old woman cry, she reached up to gently wipe away her tears, her voice soft and obedient. "Don't cry, great-grandma. I'll be good, I promise. I can do the laundry, cook, and clean the house. I won't ever give you trouble."

Hearing this, the old woman began to sob even harder, her tears flowing in torrents. Between sobs, she kept repeating, "Good girl, good girl. You're the best, the bravest little one."
