Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1136

She stood up to leave and had just taken a few steps when she heard Grandpa Augustine's voice from behind, "Nelly, the clothes in your room, they're all new and have been washed. You can put them on straight away."

Cornelia turned around and met Grandpa Augustine's caring gaze. For a moment, she felt as if she was looking into her grandmother's eyes. Her grandma always used to look at her with the same tenderness.

Without thinking, Cornelia went back to Grandpa Augustine and gave him a hug, "Thank you, Grandpa Augustine!"

Her hug made Grandpa Augustine very happy. He held her hand and finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask for a very long time, "Nelly, what was your grandma's name?"

Cornelia replied, "Rebecca."

His eyes dimmed instantly at her answer, "Really?"

"Yes." Cornelia confirmed.

Grandpa Augustine laughed a little and shook his head, "What was I thinking? What was I hoping for?"

Back in the day, since he never saw the bodies of his wife and child, he kept telling himself that they hadn't drowned and were still alive somewhere.

He clung to this belief and searched every city.

His wife's name was Silvia, so he looked for every Silvia in the country. There were tens of thousands of people named Silvia, and he met every single one of them, even the men named Silvia.

Once he met them all, his hope crumbled. Gradually, he accepted the fact that his wife and child were dead.
