Katherine blinked her eyes and turned to Old Mrs. Grant, “What would you like to talk about?”
Old Mrs. Grant took a chopsticks-full of dishes and said, “Did your grandpa ever mention Marshall’s
grandfather before?
Kathrine froze and thought for a while, “He mentioned something before, but nothing much.”
Old Mrs. Grant seemed interested, “What exactly? Could you tell me that?”
Old Mrs. and Mr. Grant loved each other dearly, but she remained the calmest one when he passed
away.
But just as truth would have it, something can’t just be expressed explicitly.
Katherine thought that Old Mrs. Grant must be the saddest one.
After thinking for a while, Katherine told Old Mrs. Grant what her grandpa had told her before.
But her grandfather didn’t really tell her much, because when he united with Old Mr. Grant, he was
even more in a bad shape.
He was already haggard from farming all his life.
So he could only tell her some past stories simply.
He and Old Mr. Grant were both in the army before.
During a field trip, he saved Old Mr. Grant’s life.
But he didn’t tell her the exact story.
He didn’t specifically say how he saved him, but after that, they became good friends.
The Grants was already a powerful and influential family back then.
But the Jordans was in abject poverty.
Then they got separated after being discharged from active military service.
Actually, Old Mr. Grant gave Old Mr. Jordan his contact and told him that should he have any
difficulties, he could just contact him.
But Old Mr. Jordan was a strong-minded man and had his self-esteem, so no matter how difficult he
was, he had never asked Old Mr. Grant for help.
After the military service, Old Mr. Jordan went back to the countryside to earn a living.
Then his health worsened later, so Katherine would take him to the hospital where he met the ailing Old
Mr. Grant.
Katherine got aa bit teary thinking about this. “My grandfather is a tough man. But I’m a weakling and
he was still worrying about me when he passed away.”
Old Mr. Jordan was an independent man all his life and for the first and last time in his life, he begged
Old Mr. Grant to take care of Katherine.
So then Katherine got the chance to marry Marshall.
Old Mrs. Grant stopped eating and her eyes just reddened.
Mrs. Grant hurriedly handed her a tissue.
But Old Mrs. Grant didn’t cry. She took a few deep breathes, “Marshall’s grandfather was also worrying
about something when he left. He didn’t even want to close his eyes.”
She was right by his side. She said many things to console him so that he would freely.
But still, he didn’t want to leave.
Katherine got upset too and got uneasy, “I t was all my fault.”
Marshall got serious too.
He had promised Old Mr. Grant that he would take good care of Katherine.
Well, he meant it back then.
But at the same time, he was thinking that he could still look after her even if they got divorced.
He didn’t have to trap him in their marriage.
So he was pretty generous to give Katherine all those money, houses and even company shares.
He thought that he had done enough.
Old Mrs. Grant took a sigh and changed the subject, “You really should find a time to go to the hospital
and check your stomach. You are still young now, so you don’t take it seriously, but you would for sure
regret it when you are at my age.”
Katherine was taken aback by Old Mrs. Grant’s words.
Was she caring about her?
Though Katherine didn’t exactly like Old Mrs. Grant, she was still grateful that she was concerned
about her.
So she expressed her thanks.
Old Mrs. Grant had no mood to continue rating, so she stood up slowly.
The maid hurriedly held her.
She said that she wanted to take a rest and went upstairs.
Katherine stood up in a while and said, “You guys...”
Marshall also stood up before she could finish her words, “Let’s take a walk outside.”
