When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 His First Love

The three grandsons were extremely protective of Amelia and always treated her like a princess.

Because of this, Ursula really hoped to see it again someday.

Amelia looked at Ursula. She could read her grandmother’s thoughts all too well and knew what she longed for.

Unfortunately, things could never go back to the way they were.

A broken mirror could never be fully mended. Even if it were pieced back together, the cracks would always remain.

It was impossible for her to be like she was before with the rest of the Nygards.

Still, since Ursula was already old, she didn’t have the heart to be too blunt and make her sad.

“Yeah,” Amelia answered simply, then changed the subject.

“Grandma, I sent Marcelo and Aunt Thea away because I actually have something to ask private.”

“Oh? What is it? Go ahead.” Ursula’s mood was still a little down.

Amelia always called her brother by his name. Clearly, that rift wouldn’t heal anytime soon.

“Grandma, I wanted to ask you, did Mr. Nygard ever have a first love?”

Amelia didn’t beat around the bush. Her relationship with her grandmother might not be as close as with her grandfather, but she was genuinely good to her.

That’s why she could talk freely to her and didn’t need to beat around the bush.

“He did. How did you know? Did something happen?”

Ursula looked startled, not even noticing that Amelia had called her father “Mr. Nygard” again. For a moment, she thought something serious had occurred.

“It’s nothing big. I was just curious what kind of person his first love was and why they didn’t end up together.”

“Well, isn’t that obvious? Your grandfather and I broke them up. We absolutely didn’t agree to let that woman marry into the Nygards.”

Chapter 271 His First Love

Ursula spoke openly and didn’t think this was a big deal.

Back in their day, marriages were all decided by the parents, especially in wealthy and powerful families.

“Why though? Because she wasn’t good enough for the Nygards?“”

Amelia had actually guessed it. The reason Regina and Gianna hated her grandmother so much was most likely this.

This also explained why the people who poisoned Ursula and almost killed her were probably Gianna and her mother.

Those two weren’t just rebellious. They were ungrateful, cruel, and ruthless. They would do anything to get what they wanted.

Luckily, Conrad saw through them early on and said they were too wild and untrustworthy. That’s why Conrad and Ursula strongly opposed their relationship.

Looking back now, they made the right call.

Emery might not be that capable, be a bit too naive, and not really be cut out to be the perfect wife.

But the Palmers were a prestigious family, and Emery was their dear daughter, so it wasn’t exactly a huge social leap for her to marry in.

Amelia hadn’t expected this revelation. She had investigated before but found nothing.

Regina, or someone backing her, might have deliberately hidden or erased those details.

No wonder Regina had access to drugs and banned medicines that hadn’t been released to the public yet. It turned out her father had once been an expert in this field.

It was possible that the people in the Alchemist Guild were connected to her or her father, which explained how she could easily get hold of those uncommon substances.

Maybe Regina herself was skilled in research and drug formulation, too.

“Amelia, why are you suddenly asking this? Don’t tell me that jerk Raymond has gotten himself tangled up with Regina again and their old feelings are coming back to life?”
