Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 186

Clara finally got why Johnny always looked at her with such pain and disappointment. It turned out her grandfather had literally been upset to death by her antics. But if he managed to speak to her before passing, he probably didn't hold a grudge and was just disappointed.

Even if Clara couldn't remember, she gave herself a swift slap, leaving her cheek flushed and Ryan jumping back in shock.

"Clara, what are you doing?" Ryan exclaimed, eyes wide.

Clara shook her head, trying to calm herself as she continued up the hill. "Come on, let's go see Grandpa."

Ryan was on edge, afraid to say anything that might upset her more. He wish he hadn’t brought her here in the first place.

After trudging for another ten minutes, they finally stood before their grandfather’s grave. Clara was hit with a wave of nervousness, making her hesitate.

Ryan waited silently, not pushing her.

After five minutes of standing there, she finally stepped forward. The black-and-white photo on the tombstone was gentle and kind. Just seeing it brought tears to Clara's eyes.

She felt dizzy, clutching the tombstone for support until she could read the inscription. Fresh bouquets lined the grave and dew sparkled on the petals.

Clara's face went pale, and her head throbbed with pain. She wanted to kneel, but as soon as her knees touched the ground, the heartache made her convulse.
