Chapter 731 Its So Good To Have You Around (1/2)

Edmund nodded slightly to show his understanding. It was hard for anyone to accept such a family background. It was normal for her not to call him grandfather.

He struggled to stand up and took out a letter from the drawer of the bedside table. She opened it with a trembling hand. The yellow paper was full of a strong sense of age.

”I always regret that I was angry with your mother and didn't pick you up! But your mother is stubborn. She would never give in unless she couldn't hold on.

However, it was too late when I realized it. I followed the address and found that you and your mother had left. I haven't heard from you since then.

I thought your mother was blaming me, so she left in a fit of anger. I don't expect to be separated from her by accident. How can I accept it?”

Hester's nose twitched when she heard what happened in the past from him. In her memory, her mother did send a letter. At that time, she was too young to know what was written on it.

Now she remembered that this letter carried all her hopes! Her father was addicted to gambling and couldn't extricate himself from it. He had no choice but to ask his father to help her. But what came next was indeed the debt collectors, and things had been smashed endlessly.

”My mother has never blamed you. It was her fault. She deserved it. She doesn't hate anyone.”

”Really?”

The old man's eyes trembled, flickering with a faint light. He looked at Hester, and a faint hope was ignited. Guilt almost killed him.

”Did your mother say that?”

Hester nodded slightly, thinking back to a long time ago. At that time, her mother hadn't lost her vitality because of the pressure of life, and occasionally told her something about her grandfather.
