Thought Grandpa might plead fornot to divorce Ryan.
But he didn't.
| could keenly feel Grandpa's life slipping away bit by bit, his voice incredibly weak. "Whatever happens... don't
let Jessica marry into our family. Guard the Frost family for me." "I will... | will..."
| was on the verge of collapse, crying and nodding repeatedly. "Grandpa, did Jessica say something to you?
Otherwise, why would you suddenly fall ill..."

A trace of disgust and anger flickered in Grandpa's eyes, but he sighed in the end. "Just remember what Grandpa
said."
"Okay... Charlotte remembers, every word."
Choking up, | spoke, afraid to ask another word, fearing | might anger Grandpa again.

"Dear, don't be sad. Take good care of the child in your belly."
Grandpa used his last bit of strength, smiling kindly at me. "With this, Grandpa can rest in peace..."

He knew | was pregnant a long tago!
But he never asked me.
| grabbed the edge of the hospital bed, slowly kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down. "Grandpa,

The autumn chill grew stronger. As | walked out of the hospital, | felt as if | had plunged into an ice cellar.
Just as | reached the roadside, numbly reaching out to hail a taxi, Ryan suddenly appeared, pullingtowards

At this time, there were still many cars on the road, but Ryan's speed only increased!
Faster and faster!
"Ryan!"
| suddenly woke up, gripping the handrail above. "Slow down!"
He seemed not to hear.
His lips tightened into a straight line, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins popping
out as if venting semotion through it.
Only then did | realize, he had been suppressing, enduring all along.
Fortunately, he was driving towards the old house. After passing through the bustling city area, the traffic on the
road significantly decreased, which was relatively safe. Unable to stop him, | settled back into the seat.
