08 54 

Chapter 116 

Sapphire Springs Resort was sprawling, and Charlene had no clue where Thorne and the gang were

Descending the stairs, she found no sign of them

The day hadn’t turned to night just yet, so Charlene, with the help of two staff members, decided to head up the hill

The air was crisp, but Charlene was bundled up tight and hardly felt the cold

*Up on the hill, she let the breeze wash over her as she picked apples, a simple activity that eased her mind

In no time, they had managed to fill two or three crates with apples

Instead of heading back immediately, Charlene took a moment to admire the sunset, which was particularly stunning that evening

That’s when she heard footsteps and a child’s voice

Turning, she found herself facetoface with Granger

Granger, equally surprised to see her, paused for a moment

The voice in the video called out excitedly, It’s that lady!” 

It turned out, Granger was video calling Daisy, showing her the apple trees and promising to pick some for her the next day

He hadn’t expected to run into Charlene, who had decided to venture up the hill

Even though they had met a few times before and Granger had lent her a hand, Charlene still felt a distance she wasn’t keen on bridging

Her face hardened when she saw him, but softened again when she heard Daisy’s voice

Granger noticed the change in her expression

He didn’t approach her right away, instead asking, Daisy wants to talk to you, is that okay?” 

Leaving the convalescent home that day, Charlene had felt a profound heaviness, a suffocating sadness

Encountering them, though it seemed like Daisy wanted her company, Charlene felt it was Daisy who was offering comfort, helping her breathe through the emotional turmoil

With that thought, she nodded

Granger extended his phone to her, keeping a respectful distance of a few yards

After chatting with Daisy, who revealed she was out with her grandmother and couldn’t join Granger at 

Sapphire Springs Resort, Charlene shared her enjoyment of the sunset. After a good ten minutes, she handed the phone back to Granger

After saying goodbye to Daisy, Granger offered a simple Thank you.” 

No need.” 

By then, dusk had almost fully settled

But the hill was lit by street lamps, making the descent easy

Without further exchange, she turned to head down the hill, Granger following silently behind

They reached the resort without exchanging a word and were about to enter when they ran into Vesta

Vesta watched them show up one after another from the hill, her lips tightening into a thin line as she paused
