Chapter 196
The courtyard, which used to be spotlessly cleaned by Grandma, is now overgrown with weeds.
Thankfully, Grandma gave away many beautiful plants to the neighbors before leaving
Otherwise, they probably would have withered by now.
The grape trellis where the family used to cool off in summer is now decayed and broken, with withered grape vines.
Rosalynn opened the door and walked in
Most of the furniture in the house is covered with white cloth.
Rosalynn stood at the door and took a glance
Sure enough, every nook and cranny of the house held memories of their happy past
She felt like crying
A moment later, she enters her mother’s bedroom.
In the nightstand beside the bed are her mom’s belongings
There are very few of her mother’s things left
Apart from some clothes and a few pieces of jewelry, the only thing left was a photo album.
Her grandfather loved taking photos, most of the pictures in the album were of the family on trips and outings.
When she left the house, Rosalynn wanted to take the album with her, but Grandma wouldn’t allow it.
Rosalynn even went on a hunger strike for two days.
Finally, Grandma said, “This is what your mom loved. We’re leaving, so we should leave something behind for her”
Throughout the night, Rosalynn wept, clutching the album tightly to her chest. With great care, she safeguarded it, placing it within the nightstand, before departing from home alongside her grandmother
Now, Rosalynn retrieved the cherished album, handling it delicately. She tenderly brushed the surface, revealing faded doodles she had drawn as an innocent and naive child Overwhelmed with emotion, she cautiously opened the album, tears welling in her eyes. Yet, as she began to flip through the pages, a mixture of Taughter and tears fills the room, resonating with the depths of her heart
The first photo was of her just after she was born. In the bottom right comer, Mom wrote, “My ugly baby”
