Chapter 1141
Even If Cornelia hadnât spoken up, Grandpa Augustine wouldâve definitely gone to see her, it was just that the timing was a bit off now.
First off, he had been searching for his wife for so many years, and when he finally found her, she had already passed on. He was not quite ready to face that fact yet. Secondly, Marcus warned him before leaving that Zavier might harm Cornelia soon, so it was safest for her to stay in the Capital.
Grandpa Augustine had to keep his promise and protect Cornelia well. He couldnât let her get hurt, especially not on his watch.
âLetâs go visit her after a while.â Grandpa Augustine walked over to Cornelia and held her hand tightly again. He had a lot to say, but didnât know how to put it into words.
The first time he met Cornelia, he felt incredibly warm, not just because she was his kin, but more importantly, she was raised by his wife. He could see his wifeâs shadow in Cornelia.
Cornelia said, âGrandpa Augustine, donât be sad. My grandma used to say that life is such, there are goodbyes and reunions, no one can stay by oneâs side forever.â
Grandpa Augustine asked, âHow has your grandmother been over the years? Has she had a hard time?â
Cornelia answered, âMy grandma raised my father. After he passed away, she had to raise me, which was definitely hard. But she had her own job, students who respected her, and friends like Granny Luisa. Her life was full. Plus, she always lived with positivity.
Hearing this, Grandpa Augustine felt a sense of relief. His biggest regret was thinking his wife and child were not living well, but it seemed they were doing fine. The one who truly needed this family, who couldnât live without his family, was him.
âSheâs always been a positive and kind person, and I missed her whole life.â Grandpa Augustine sighed with a smile. âNelly, itâs getting late. Go rest. Tomorrow, let Brian and his brothers accompany you out for a walk.
âOkayâ Cornelia said. Back in her room, Cornelia couldnât sleep. She was thinking about Marcus all the time.
Where was he now? He should be in Paris in a few hours, right?
When he got to Paris, it would almost be dawn here. Would he call her immediately after he landed?
Thinking of this, Cornelia sent Marcus a message: [Jeremy, I miss you. Call me as soon as you get to Paris. Iâll be waiting.]
The message was sent, but there was no reply.
At this time, Abigail sent a message: [Cornelia, are you asleep?]
Cornelia replied: [Not yet.]
Abigail continued: [Did you go on a trip with Marcus again? I went to look for you at your house, but only your sister was home. Werenât you at home?]
Cornelia: [Abigail, I found my grandfather.]
Abigail [Your grandfather? I remember your grandfather passed away many years ago. My parents never met him. Be careful about this sudden. appearance of a grandfather, make sure youâre not being fooled.]
Cornelia: [Do you know the Duran family in the Capital?]
Abigail [Who doesnât?]
Cornelia: [Youâve heard of Augustine, havenât you?]
Abigail [The famous Augustine from the Capital who does a lot of charitable work?]
Cornelia: [Yes, heâs my grandfather.]
