Now she's all grown up, but her grandma was going to leave her.
Autumn remembered that when she was a little child, her grandma was very frugal and always wore old clothes, but she never treated Autumn shabbily. Autumn felt aggrieved and guilty at the thought of that.
"Sweetheart, don't cry anymore. Be happy. It breaks my heart to hear you cry." She wiped the tears off of Autumn's face and then sighed, "You are the only person I still care about in this world. Who will take care of you after I die? I am so worried about you, Autumn. Do you know that?"
That was the only thing she worried about. She was not afraid of death, but she just worried about her only granddaughter's well-being. Her faith in Autumn was the only support that kept her alive in this world. Although she was suffering from her illness, she tried her best to hold on, because she wanted to see Autumn, one last time, before her death.
Hearing this, Charles, who had been standing by the door silently for a long time stepped forward to put his hands on Autumn's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about her, grandma. I will take good care of her."
"Your voice sounds familiar. I remember your voice." Her grandma smiled and went on, "You brought me here yesterday, didn't you?"
"Yes. it's me. You have a good memory, grandma." Charles smiled and joked with her. "Grandma, in fact, I am her... I am her husband."
"Husband?" She was completely shocked by the news. She widened her eyes out of surprise, but her eyes were still hazy.
"Yes, grandma, " replied Autumn. Autumn wiped her tears and then introduced Charles to her. "Grandma, I have gotten married. He is my husband. Don't worry. He is a nice person and he treats me well. He cares about me a lot."
The poor old lady had been detained by Wendy for a long time, but occasionally she heard from Wendy that Autumn had gotten married to someone for Yvonne's sake. Her hopes that had just ignited, extinguished as soon as she remembered that. "Sweetie, I know you want me to be happy, but... But I know what happened to you."
"Grandma, are you saying that I got married to her because I thought she was Yvonne?" Charles soon got her point and asked. He smiled softly and then said, "I am aware of the truth now. So please don't worry. I love her very much. And now we have gotten the marriage license. We are legally, a couple now. And I can promise you that I will love her forever and take care of her."
"Really?" She was finally relieved to hear that.
"Yes. It's true. We are legitimate couple now." Autumn nodded slightly and continued, "Grandma, Charles is a nice person, so you don't have to worry about me. He will take care of me."
Autumn understood that she would lose her dear grandma soon. The most important thing now was to soothe her grandma, so she could at least enjoy some moments of peace before her passing.
Her grandma could not see what Charles looked like, but she could tell from his voice that he was a reliable man. She reached out her hands slowly to Charles and said, "Charles, come on. Come over here please."
"Yes, grandma. I am here." Charles held her hands and comforted her continuously.
She held Charles hands tightly and said with a low voice, "She is my only granddaughter and she is also the only family I have in this world, so please help me to take good care of her. Don't let anyone bully her, or I won't be at peace. Can you promise me that?"
"Yes. Of course. I promise you that I will love her forever and that I won't let anyone bully her, " Charles said firmly and seriously.
Grandma kept panting for breath momentarily as she was in a critical condition. Autumn quickly let her have some rest. "Grandma, get some rest now and let's stop talking. I will be here to accompany you."
Autumn helped her grandma adjust her posture so that she could lie more comfortably.
"Honey, I am a little hungry now. Can you get some food for me?" Her grandmother said to Autumn.
