Chapter 365: Make a Bow
Sienna held Camille's hand: "Cami, I know you're really upset, I
understand all that, but you have to take care of your body and don't
argue too much with the Armstrong family.â
âYou misunderstand, I'm not here to argue, I just hope she can go to
grandma's funeral, after all, according to the relationship, she is
grandma's daughter, so she should be there."
Although there was no blood relationship, the identity of the
grandmother cannot be erased after all.
Camille pushed the car door open and went out, then walked inside
with Sienna.
Sienna rang the doorbell for her and the door was opened by Grace,
who was a little surprised to see Camille: "Cami ..."
Then she nodded to Sienna as a greeting.
Without exchanging too many pleasantries with her, Camille asked
directly, "Is Mom there?"
âYes, come on in." She hurriedly pulled open the door to let Camille and
Sienna in, but her eyes still noticed Camille's slightly red eyes, she
must have been crying, right?
In the living room, Page sat with Brody on the long couch, Camille and
Sienna stood by, and Grace hastily greeted, "Have a seat.â
Her enthusiasm is probably the only light in the cold atmosphere of the
Armstrong family.
Camille didn't sit though, she looked over at Page and Brody and then
did what no one expected, she bowed slightly towards them.
Sienna saw this and immediately tried to block it, âCami.â
Camille pushed her hand away, then whispered to Brody, Page, "Mom
and Dad, I am sorry for the many disrespectful acts and words I have
done to you, I don't ask for your understanding and forgiveness, I just
hope you can not count my disrespect on Grandma.â
Page looked at Camille with a shocked expression, "What do you mean
by that?"
Usually it is impossible to make her give in, what is wrong with her
today?
Camille didn't answer the question, but simply said, "Grandma's gone."
These four words made Brody, Page and Grace did not react to the
meaning of this.
Page said nonchalantly, âIf she's gone, she's gone, but isn't she going
to have surgery? Is she going back to Flento City without surgery?"
"Yeah Cami, didn't Grandma have to have surgery recently? Why is
she gone again?"
Grace also asked with some confusion.
Camille said with an expressionless face, "Grandma will never come
back."
Camille's expression and these words made Grace and Page look at
each other, and only then did they gradually realize what she meant?
Grace's face was also a little less than convinced as she asked, "How
could it be so sudden?"
She then understood why Camille's eyes were red and swollen.
"Grandma finished surgery yesterday, the operation was successful,
she was supposed to wake up at this time, if there are no accidents ..."
Camille whispered, her voice sounding a little choke with sobs.
Page also didn't speak for a while, the atmosphere also became quiet a
piece.
Camille looked up at Page as she said, "Grandma's funeral is
scheduled for tomorrow, and I want you to be there to give her one last
ride.â
Page met Camille's gaze and said lightly, "What am I going to do? It's
not like I have anything to do with her.â
"Grandma is Grandpa's wife and you are Grandpa's daughter, so that
makes you Grandma's daughter, so how can there be no relationship?"
Camille whispered the facts.
Page, however, sneered and laughed, "You are considering me now
when you need to get me to do something? You just ignore me when I
ask you for help, Camille, what do you call that?"
Camille pursed her lips as she bowed once more in apology, she said,
âI know it's all my fault, I was disrespectful and unfilial, I'm willing to
review and apologize, all I beg is that you can go and see Grandma off
for the last time."
Camille has used the word "beg", enough to show her attitude and
determination on the matter.
But Page refused outright: âI won't go, it has nothing to do with me,
since she is the one who took care of you until you grew up, you are
responsible, after all, it is not me who raised her."
Camille looked at Page faintly, such indifferent chilling words made her
eyes drift with sad sorrow.
Although Page was not the first time to say similar things, but that was
when Grandma was still alive, but now people are no longer, she can
still be so clear in the calculation, Camille is no matter how did not
expect.
A helpless and impotent smile crossed Camille's face as she said, "So
no matter what I say, you won't do it, will you?"
Before Page could speak, he was immediately interrupted by Grace.
Grace said, "Mom, Grandma's always been good to us, we're going no
matter what, and the Simpson family will be there tomorrow. Not only
are you going to be there, you're going to be there to help out,
Grandma's your mother, you're Grandma's daughter, that's what
everyone else thinks."
Grace's words sounded like she was thinking about Page, but in reality
Camille knew what she meant.
Camille shot Grace a grateful glance.
Eventually Page agreed to do so.
As for the reason, she simply didn't want others to tease the Armstrong
family and her inappropriate behavior.
But that didn't matter to Camille at all, as long as she promised to be
there, that was enough.
Camille didn't stay much longer, just said thanks and left with Sienna.
Grace is the last to chase out, she said to Camille: "Grandma loves you
the most, she will always watch over you silently in heaven, you ... You
pay more attention to your health, do not be too sad.â
"Well, I know, thank you."
Camille nodded politely.
But there was still a layer of detachment between them, and finally
Sienna spoke up: "Aren't you sisters? Why do you have to be so polite?
I can't even stand it, it's so awkward."
Grace followed and agreed, "Yes, you're welcome, it's all I should do,
after all, it's my grandmother too."
Camille's face eased slightly to reveal a not-so-subtle light smile.
As she got into the car from the Armstrong family's side, Camille leaned
back in her seat and looked out the window, waiting for another traffic
light, when she overheard an old woman of her grandmother's age on
the sidewalk, followed by a young girl.
The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed
extraordinarily pleasant.
Camille's mouth followed with a light smile, and her heart silently said
that she would never have such an opportunity again.
She envied that girl.
Back on the hospital side, Ayan has arranged for the funeral home to
take Grandma away, and Camille's mood is unconcealably low and
sad.
But she understood that the hospital side is not possible to keep the
people who left, and eventually can only be transferred to the funeral
home side.
Ayan told her, "Donât worry, Grandma left in a decent manner,
everything is taken care of, tomorrow morning we will go over there
around six o'clock.â
She nodded her head.
Returning to her apartment from the hospital, Camille went alone to her
grandmother's bedroom, where she closed the door behind her and
was left alone.
Ayan didn't feel comfortable wanting to accompany her, but Sienna
blocked it: "Mr. Simpson , you leave her alone, she knows what to do
and what not to do."
Ayan then did not move, only the face slightly stiff, the eyes of the look
is also very cold.
He asked, "Did she go to the Armstrong family for something?"
Sienna subconsciously frowned with a look of lust.
When she thought of Camille's respectful and humble appearance, she
couldn't help but feel distressed, especially Brody, Page's attitude
towards her was just too cold.
Sienna's reaction was well received by Ayan, and he said lightly, "What
can't you say?"
