“He insisted on marrying me, so I submitted to him. With his wealth and influence, I thought he might be able to find my mother’s bracelets, which was why I stuck with him. However, things are getting better now that I have found you, and Scott is also… He’s also dead.”
Both Jerry and Lindsay cried in unison, “Dead?”
“He got what he deserved. He was murdered when he was sleeping with another woman.”
Although both Jerry and Lindsay felt that what happened was rather absurd, they figured it was for the best, since it meant that Linda was free from him.
“It’s good that he’s dead. Scum like him should’ve been banished to hell since long ago!” Lindsay patted Linda on the back. “Now that he’s dead, you should move in with us. Keep me company, won’t you?”
“Grandma, I don’t think this is appropriate. I am an outsider after all, while Mr. Jason—”
“It’s not Mr. Jason, and you’re not an outsider! Jason is your cousin, so stop being so formal! Your uncle and aunt were thinking of coming back from your aunt’s hometown today. In fact, your uncle was overjoyed when he heard that you’re coming home. Back in those days, he used to dote on your mother a lot.” With a smile, Lindsay patted Linda’s hand as she spoke. “It’s great that our family is finally reunited. We will be able to live together happily from now on, and I should be able to die without regrets now.”
Linda quickly covered Lindsay’s mouth. “Grandma, don’t you dare mention that! You will have a long life!”
“Alright, I will live up until I am a hundred for your sake, if nothing else!”
