"It was all my fault. You told me that mom was suffering from severe depression. I thought it was you, as a pregnant woman, were too sensitive. If I had cared more about her at that time, maybe she would not leave us..." Hearing that Elva committed suicide by cutting her wrists, Luna blamed herself.
Angela shook her head and said, "We should all be responsible."
It was because of dad’s coldness and ruthlessness, my elder brother's bad temper... and her own irresolute temperament.
But it was useless to blame anyone right now.
"Mummy, where's grandma?" Taotao yawned, unable to open her eyes.
Luna wiped her tears hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Honey, grandma goes to travel, and it will take a long time for her to come back."
"Grandma goes to travel? Why doesn’t she tell me? Doesn’t she like me anymore?" Taotao was a little frustrated.
Luna comforted her with red eyes, and then stood up to hand a note to Angela, "This is mom's suicide note. She might have put it in our room before she left."
Angela took the suicide note and opened it tremblingly.
There were only one or two hundred words in it.
【Angela and Greyson, I'm sorry. All I could do before I go is to leave the shares and other properties on my hand to you.
Neither hold a funeral for me, nor bury me in the grave. I’m too ashamed to see your grandparents, and I don't want to be buried with Lorenzo after his death.
Spill my bone ash in the sea. I have spent my life by staying around your grandparents, or following Lorenzo and you, so I haven’t got time to go out and have a look.
Farewell, my dear kids. Take good care of yourselves. Mother loves you forever. 】
When Angela finished reading the note, her tears had begun to fallen on the note.
"Suicide note? Where is the suicide note?" Lorenzo rushed there and grabbed the note from Angela.
When he saw what was written in the suicide note, his face turned completely bloodless, and he fell on the ground powerlessly.
How could it be possible?
How could she be unwilling to stay with him after death? Was she crazy?
"She's dead now. Shouldn't you be happy? No one will disturb your important businesses anymore, and no one will cry in your ears all day." Angela said lightly. She grabbed the suicide note from Lorenzo, and handed it over to Greyson, who was crying aside silently, and said, "Have a look."
After reading it, Greyson was all tears.
Angela and Greyson went to get the bone ashes together, and they kept the ashes for a whole day. The next day, they drove to the beach to spill the ashes into the sea. Lorenzo wanted to go with them. But after being scolded by Greyson, he had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
On the way back, everyone was silent.
Angela thought for a while and said, "Greyson, I won't go back home with you today."
There were traces of their mother everywhere in the house, so, she would not be able to control her feelings if she went back.
And until the moment mom died, she didn't know that Angela had come back because of some special reasons instead of the so-called family love.
Angela didn't even know whether this was a good thing for her mother or not, after all, if she knew the truth, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
Greyson mumbled in a hoarse voice, "Where are you going? I'll send you there."
"Bamboo Estate."
The car stopped in the Bamboo Estate at around seven o'clock in the evening.
Angela looked at the Land Rover at the entrance of the villa and frowned. She turned her head and said to Greyson and Luna: "It's getting late, so, you two go back earlier, and I won’t invite you inside today."
