Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 897

While dining, everyone started to reminisce about good ol' Granny Rebecca.

One of the girls that Granny Rebecca had taught broke down in tears as she spoke, "You guys can't understand. If it wasn't for Granny Rebecca, I wouldn't be where I am today. Back then, my family was dirt poor, I hadn't even finished school yet, and my parents were ready to have me start work to help raise my little bros.

But Granny Rebecca herself came to my house to talk some sense into my folks. She even used her own money to help me out. That's why I was able to continue through high school and then have the opportunity to go to college and have the opportunity to do the work I love."

She was one heck of a teacher, living up to the noble belief of being an educator for all those years.

Cornelia had been deeply influenced by all of this since she was a kid, and that was why she was so positive and brave. "Thank you for recognizing my grandmother's work. Now that you have a successful career and a loving family, I'm sure my grandma would be very pleased if she saw it."

"Yeah, I found a job I love after I graduated from colleg. Work has been smooth sailing over the years, and I didn't let Granny Rebecca down. I guess that's the best way I could repay her." The lady finished, wiped her tears, then continued, "Nelly, we've heard what's been going on with you too. We believe in you, we tried to vouch for you, but we're small fries. We couldn't really help."

Cornelia replied, "Just you guys showing up tonight to mourn my granny, that's help enough."

Other people had no obligation or duty to help out; Cornelia had been very grateful when they had not laughed at her when she had been wronged.

Then someone else started to remember Granny Rebecca. Cornelia just listened in silence, tears blurring her vision.

It was like she could see her granny sitting across from her, with a gentle, kind smile, saying, "Nelly, I can't be with you anymore, you gotta walk this road on your own."

"Granny..." Cornelia wiped her tears, and silently said in her heart, "Don't worry, I'll be brave, I'll make my days count, I won't let you worry."
