Chapter 1286
Jarvis Alexander chuckled softly but remained silent. His eyes were brimming with unending sadness.
There are some people and things that once lost, may never return.
Cornelia was just discharged from the hospital and got hame, only to find that all of Patricia's stuff had been moved out.
Patricia didn't call her, didn't text her, just left a note at home saying, "Nelly, see you. Take care."
Cornelia worried that something might have happened to Patricia, hurriedly called her, but the call was answered with, “The number you have dialed is not in service."
Unable to reach Patricia, Cornelia texted her, but after the message was sent, a line of small print appeared, "Message sent but rejected by the recipient."
Patricia had actually blocked her!
No way.
Cornelia, still worried, called Granny Luisa.
As always, Granny Luisa picked up the phone quickly, “Nelly...
Hearing Granny Luisa's gentle and kind voice, Cornelia felt a little relieved, "Granny Luisa, are you okay?"
Granny Luisa replied, "I'm fine. Are you asking about Patricia's whereabouts?"
Cornelia replied, "Granny Luisa, I just got home and found out Patricia's stuff had been moved out. I can't reach her now. Is she with you?"
Granny Luisa replied, "She's gone back to take care of Marc.
She felt awkward facing you, so she blocked you."
Although Granny Luisa didn't say it explicitly, Cornelia understood.
She and Marcus were divorced, and if Granny Luisa continued to be close to her, this former daughter-in-law, it would make Marcus's current wife uncomfortable.
Cornelia could understand Granny Luisa's dilemma, "Granny Luisa, I'm already content having been able to accompany you for so long. If you need my help in the future, feel free to call me any time"
“All right, I'll remember that.’ Hearing Cornelia say this, Granny Luisa felt a pang of heartache. Nelly had always been so sensible.
Nelly never knew that sensible kids don't get candies. Only the crying ones do.
Granny Luisa, afraid of losing control of her emotions, didn't say anything more and just hung up the phone.
When she heard the busy tone from the phone, Cornelia felt as if a void had opened up in her heart, as if a cold wind was wreaking havoc inside her.
