How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 166

She placed her flowers down, then knelt, looking at the kind, familiar face on the headstone that was slowly fading from her memory, and began to speak.

“Grandma, Wini is here to see you. Are you lonely here? I can't visit you often. Grandma, I miss you so much. Do you miss me down there?”

“Grandma, don't worry about me. I'm doing well now. I'm working at a hospital in Riverside City.”

“I know you must be worrying about my future from up in heaven. Please don't worry. From now on, I plan to forget all the unhappy things from the past and forgive myself. I'm going to find a good man, get married, and have children.”

“When I have a child, I’ll be sure to bring her here to see you, and she’ll call you great-grandma.”

…

As Winifred murmured these words, the image of that person in the depths of her heart grew fainter.

She didn't know that, in a hidden corner nearby, a gaunt figure had been watching her the entire time.

After visiting her grandmother's grave, she went back to the old house.

Winifred took a box from the wardrobe, wiped off the dust, and opened it.

Winifred was sad to see the house she grew up in torn down, but there was nothing she could do.

Times were changing, and the old had to make way for the new.

She had come back mainly to visit the grave, but also to see her childhood home one last time, to reminisce about the moments she had shared with her grandmother.

Winifred looked at the box.

Once her grandmother’s house was demolished, she would have nowhere to keep these things. But she didn't want to take them to Riverside City either.

When that day finally came, she would just dig a hole and bury them all, so she would never have to see them again.
