After listening to his explanation, Ruby did not say anything more, but only said, "Thank you, I understand what you just said, I will be careful."
Seeing this, Eden gently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "That's good, then ...... if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Ruby nodded.
When he reached the door, Eden hesitated, but finally stopped and turned towards her, his eyes full of gentleness.
"Ruby." He did not call her "Miss Harold" again.
Ruby twitched her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
"In the future, if you need help, you can come to me, and both I and the Mccarthy family will do our best to help you."
At these words, Ruby fell into a trance, and after a few moments, she did not refuse his kindness and nodded gently, "Okay."
After that, Eden left, satisfied.
Levi watched from the side, the corners of his mouth lightly hooked as he raised his hand to rub her hair, "You accept this?"
Ruby blinked, "It is okay, the previous generation's affairs have nothing to do with us young generation."
Later on, a number of people came to offer their condolences, and Ruby treated them all with courtesy and thanked them for coming to see her grandmother off for the last time.
When the old lady's funeral was all done, the twilight was slanting and she stood in front of her tombstone, inexplicably in a trance-like state.
Everything that had happened in the last few days had been like a dream.
How she wished that when she woke up from her dream, her grandmother would still be healthy and well and by her side.
But she knew that this was no longer possible.
Grandma was gone, forever.
"Grandma, I buried you next to Grandpa as you wished, and I don't know if you've seen him now, I'm sure you're very happy now."
She murmured, her delicate face slightly pale from the past few busy days, faint dark circles tinge covering her eyes.
With that, she glanced sideways and dropped her eyes on Logan's tombstone, looking at a picture of him in his youthful, heroic days.
"Grandpa, Grandma has gone to look for you, I hope you can take care of her. She has been missing you all these years, I guess you miss Grandma too, now you can finally be reunited, although I am reluctant, I am happy for you, and please don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Levi stood right beside her, looking sideways at her deeply for a moment, then turned his head, his dark eyes looking towards the old lady and Logan's tombstone.
"Grandma, don't worry, with me by your side, I will not let her suffer one bit, from now on. She and Olivia are under my care."
As he said that, he looked puzzled and said with a sideways glance, "Grandpa, it is my first time to see you, I am Levi, your grandson-in-law, Grandma is in your hands, I hope you and Grandma will be well in the other world."
At these words, the deepest chord in Ruby's heart was plucked silently.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly and she lifted them lightly, looking towards him with complicated eyes, but a warm current slid through them.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Levi tilted his head, catching her gaze just in time, and asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ruby didn't answer, averted her eyes and whispered, "Let's go."
