Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 45

“Jason is Jason, and Jace is Jace,” said Penelope as she took Anastasia into the house.

Penelope took several photos out from an old metal tin box and pointed to the boy in them, and said, “This is my Jace.”

Anastasia stumbled along numbly and took a long time to step forward to look at the boy in the photo.

The child looked cloddish, wearing old and dirty clothes with mud on his face. He looked ridiculous but was happy.

The background of the photo was a garden of a manor. It looked magnificent, with flowers that looked even more beautiful than the ones in the park.

Boys usually changed a lot as they grew. Anastasia couldn’t tell whether the child in the photo was Jace, let alone if he was Jason now

“Grandma Penelope, why do you say that Jason is not Jace? But he…” stammered Anastasia, feeling a little confused

Looking carefully at the boy in the photo, Anastasia could still faintly see the beauty mark below the left corner of the child’s eye.

Jason had the same beauty mark. “Grandma Penelope, Jason is Jace, right?” Anastasia asked again.

But Penelope still shook her head and insisted, Jace is my Jace, and Jason is Jason.”

Anastasia didn’t continue asking Penelope because the latter had developed Alzheimer’s six years ago and couldn’t remember many things.

Over the years, Anastasia hadn’t summoned up the courage to ask about Jace in front of Penelope. She was also afraid that it would trigger Penelope.

“Grandma Penelope, there are 200 thousand dollars in this card. When Jace comes back, please give it to him for me,” said Anastasia as she put the bank card in the most conspicuous place. She had collected the money by selling off the few pieces of jewelry she had, plus the bag she had bought while at Atharia.

Whether Jason was Jace or not, she couldn’t see him again anytime in the future.
