Chapter 831
Catelyn's father died when she was very young, too.
In other words, while Sylvie had found her granddaughter, her daughter was gone forever.
"Oh, Cat..." Sylvie stared at Catelyn with tears in her eyes. When she stepped forward to hold her hand, the tears finally fell.
"You... You were my granddaughter all along!
"Forgive me. It took me so long to find you. When you came to participate in the competition held by Chandier Jewelry, I should've thought about it and asked someone to do the test..."
That was the first time Catelyn saw Sylvie break down.
Catelyn's hands, too, trembled as her nose turned sour. She could not help crying. "No, this isn't your fault at all. I knew about my relationship with you for a long time, but I never dared to tell you the truth. Please don't blame me..."
"Silly girl. Why would I blame you?" beamed Sylvie said tearfully. "Please, call me Grandma from now on."
That look of anticipation made Catelyn open her mouth. She wanted to call her that, but she was not used to it.
She was told that her mother had passed away when she was a child, not knowing who her maternal relatives were. She had always only kept in touch with relatives of the Clark family, but at this very moment, she realized she had a grandmother.
Seeing Catelyn struggling to say anything, although disappointed, Sylvie still hugged her tightly and comforted her, "It's okay. I know you're not used to it for now, but I'm willing to wait.
"Oh, you poor girl... Let me have a good look at you. You must've suffered a lot out there these years. I'll treat you with the best I have from now on and let those who once belittled you regret it!"
The blue veins on Draco's forehead bulged.
Although Sylvie did not mention him, he felt that she was talking about him.
'How could Catelyn be Syl's granddaughter? What...have I been doing all this while? Separating Catelyn from Ceddy, making the two children lose their mother, and threatening her with Ezekiel...'
Immediately, Draco felt guilty and wanted to take this chance to explain himself. However, he felt that it would only be futile at the moment and would instead ruin the heartwarming scene of Sylvie finally finding Catelyn.
Inadvertently, he met Cedrick's gloomy eyes. Even if he did not say a word, it still seemed like he was accusing himself of making their lives a huge mess for the past few days.
Draco pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, ready to stare back righteously, but in the end, he lost his confidence and left in despair.
It was too embarrassing for him to stay.
Edwin took some tissue papers and handed them to Catelyn and Sylvie.' It's a good thing that we finally found my cousin, Grandma. Don't be too sad now. Since we've reunited, my aunt should be able to rest peacefully in heaven now."
"Grandma, don't cry. Edwin is right. Crying on the stage will only make people laugh." Catelyn held Sylvie's hand and comforted her softly.
Sylvie's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly grabbed Catelyn's hand as she stammered, "W-What did you just call me?”
"Grandma." Catelyn looked at her seriously. "I wanted to call you that from the moment I knew you were my grandmother, but I'm just too embarrassed. Please don't laugh at me. I never thought that one day, I'd find someone from the lineage of my mother."
