She let out a soft scoff and shot him a look. “Besides, your nephew means so much to you. If we had a kid, how would you even face your own child?”

The air inside the elevator turned icy, an oppressive feeling slowly spreading.

Lance said in a deep voice, “I would love my child very much.”

Nathalie said, “Save those lines for your future wife.”

“Ding!”

The elevator doors opened, and Nathalie walked out first.

Lance watched her back, his eyes darkening a shade, as he slowly followed behind her.

Her grandmother was very happy to see her return, but that happiness didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Nathalie noticed it. She helped the older woman out to the balcony for some fresh air and asked, “Grandma, are you unhappy?”

“No, I’m not.” A kind smile graced her grandmother’s face. “At my age, isn’t it normal to have a peaceful state of mind?” \

Nathalie held her dry hands. “But I can tell you aren’t happy. Grandma, what are you thinking about? Can

you

tell me?”

The old woman gently stroked her hair, smiling as she said, “Really, nothing. You’re overthinking it.”

Nathalie leaned down, resting her head on her shoulder, watching the dusk blanket the world as the sunset slowly vanished beyond the horizon.

She suddenly asked, “Grandma, do you want to go see her?”

This “her,” naturally, referred to Camilla.

Her grandmother didn’t say anything, merely continuing to stroke her hair, stroke by stroke, her movements incredibly gentle.

But such silence was a tacit admission.

Nathalie’s eyelashes fluttered, and she said, “Grandma, you don’t need to worry about my feelings. She is your daughter. Now that she’s gravely ill, it’s only right for you to go see her. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

The hand stroking her hair paused. “Nathalie, won’t you feel sad doing that?”

“How could I?”

Nathalie smiled faintly. “You’ve always been my grandmother, and you’ve always treated me so well. I wouldn’t be sad over this.”

The older woman let out a faint sigh and said, “When people reach the end of the line, they can no longer hold onto past grudges. All they think about is that every extra glance is one more to cherish.”

“Yeah, I understand.”

Nathalie nodded.

Her grandmother said, “You don’t need to go with me. I can go by myself.” “I’d be worried.” Nathalie sat up straight, looking at her with a bright smile. “I’ll just drop you off. I won’t go inside.”

Seeing her smile, her grandmother nodded. “Alright, then I’ll listen to you.” Nathalie could see that a bit more light had returned to her grandmother’s

eyes.

She really missed Camilla.

Especially now that Camilla was seriously ill.

That was her only daughter.

In the past, perhaps having her granddaughter as an anchor had kept the disappointment at bay.

But ever since learning she wasn’t Camilla’s biological child, even though she verbally insisted it didn’t matter, certain things had quietly shifted.

Nathalie lowered her eyes slightly, a flash of disappointment passing through them.

That night, the older woman ate an extra bowl of rice and even asked about Lance’s health.

Lance smiled gently. “Grandma, as long as you are well, all of us will be

well.”

She smiled and nodded. “Good, I’ll try my best to live to ninety-nine, though you’ll probably all be sick of me by then.”

But Lance replied, “We won’t be. When the time comes, we’ll need Grandma to help babysit for Nathalie and me. You have to take care of your health.”
