Chapter 115

Cecelia was really stunned.

Even after all the things she had been through, at this moment, she still

felt shocked.

In front of her, the girl who saved her today, was Joyce?

Joyce sat down and respectfully asked, "Auntie, what would you like to

drink? Coffee? Or lemon juice?"

"How about lemon juice? You just had an asthma attack, so something

refreshing is appropriate.” Joyce directly made the choice for Cecelia.

"Good." Cecelia softly nodded her head. The girl in front of her was

bold and decisive. She asked just politely but actually had a decision in

mind, quite like her younger days.

The waiter quickly brought two glasses of lemonade, as well as a plate

of exquisite afternoon tea snacks.

Out of courtesy, Joyce thought it would be better to have lemonade for

herself as well.

Cecelia had come here today for Charlotte. She had never done

anything like this in her life, to make things difficult for a commoner girl

because of her status. However, she was too guilty, had owed Charlotte

too much, and now she just wanted to do everything she could to make

up for Charlotte.

However, the girl in front of her was so beautiful, kind, intelligent, calm,

and sincere, and most importantly just saved herself.

She looked into Joyce's clear eyes and couldn't say any of the words

that she had prepared in her mind before.

"Auntie, I think you have heard that Luther and I were only married

under false pretenses. At that time, we just wanted to make Luther's

grandmother Stephanie happy and without regrets. In fact, we were

already prepared to go through a divorce, but we didn't expect that the

marriage certificate was accidentally exposed. For various reasons, the

divorce can only be delayed for a while longer." Joyce took the initiative

to explain.

“I'm sorry, I didn't know that Charlotte and Luther were in love at first.

Although I didn't want to intervene, I'm sorry for the damage I did to

Charlotte's body and mind.” She bit her lip and said sincerely.

Cecelia picked up the lemon juice, took a sip, and suddenly changed

the subject, "How is Stephanie's health now?"

"Grandma's condition is not very good. Her cancer's already at the

terminal stage. She relies on painkillers every day to maintain her life.

She spends more time sleeping and less time awake." When it came to

her grandmother, Joyce's mood dropped, and she forced a smile, "But

the doctor says it's a miracle that she's lasted two more months. I'm

also content that I can spend one more day with her now."

"I think that thanks to your company, Stephanie has been able to hold

on. I should pay a visit to her someday. The Heath family and the

Warner family have always been close friends, and Stephanie was a

woman I respected and admired for her abilities when she was young. I

never thought she would suffer from such an illness in her later years,

which is really sad.” Cecelia said with a real sigh.

"Joyce, I see you have a good heart, so I guess you grew up in a loving

family?" Cecelia asked with genuine curiosity. With her experience in

reading people, this kind of sunny, kind, and innocent girl often grew up

in a loving family. Charlotte, on the contrary, was careful and well-

rounded. It was all her fault that she had lost her child when she was

still so young and failed to give her child sufficient love from an early

age.

Joyce froze, "Auntie, don't you know? Charlotte and I grew up in the

same orphanage.”

"What?" Cecelia was genuinely shocked and nearly spilled the

lemonade in her hand, "You and Charlotte grew up in the same

orphanage?"

"Hmm." Joyce nodded gently, "Charlotte didn't mention it?"

"No. She just said you went to the same college.”

"Oh, that's right too." Joyce smiled faintly, confidently, and calmly.
