Back in Chatterton Town.
At the Rovio Hospital.
When Jayden received the phone call and rushed there, all members of the Kyle family were gathered there and they surrounded the bed to listen to the elderly Grandmother's last words.
Kevin grabbed his elderly mother's hand. "Mom..."
The elderly grandmother looked at Kevin and Karen beside him and spoke weakly, "Matthew, Karen, you two have worked hard these years."
Karen shook her head and said, "Mother, no, we didn't take care of everyone just purely out responsibility. From doing so, we also felt the warmth and happiness of the family."
The elderly grandmother was very satisfied. After a pause, she said, "From now on, please take care of your father. You must spend more time with him. Don't let him become too lonely."
Kevin and Karen nodded at the same time. "Mom, we will."
The elderly grandmother gradually shifted her focus and looked at Karen Joy. "Karen Joy, I might not be able to attend your wedding. However, your wedding must be held as scheduled. At that time, I may not have gone far, and I might still be able to see you."
Karen Joy was so sorrowful. She kept wiping her tears away. "Grandma, I don't want you to go. You have to recover and watch me get married. You have to be a witness at my wedding."
Old Madam Kyle wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears in the corners of her granddaughter's eyes, but she was too weak to raise her hand. "Don't cry, don't make your Brother Lionel sad."
Old Madam Kyle looked at Lionel and said, "My dear Lionel, I will leave our baby Karen to you in the future. You must treat her well."
Lionel knelt at the bedside and said, "Grandma, I will take good care of her for the rest of my life! Please be assured of this!"
The elderly grandmother curved her pale lips in satisfaction and turned to look at Mia and Neil. "Neil, Mia, I'm relieved that you two have each other. Take good care of each other."
Neil nodded. He rarely cried but there were tears in his eyes. "Sister, don't worry. We will live a good life from now on."
Mia was crying so hard that she couldn't say a word. She just nodded desperately.
The elderly grandmother's eyes fell on the two children. "Little Precious, Little Levi, I hope that both of you will grow up happily. You must tell me when you get married in the future."
The two young boys also nodded sensibly. "We will."
There was not much time left. She was about to take her last breath, but the elderly grandmother was still holding on. She was waiting for someone, waiting for the child that she was worried about.
Finally, before she swallowed her last breath, he arrived. She used the last strength of her body. "Jayden..."
Jayden stepped forward and knelt in front of the elderly grandmother's bed. He choked and said, "Grandma... I'm sorry! I didn't get to bring her to see you."
Old Madam Kyle smiled slightly and waited for a long time before she said, "My child, it doesn't matter if she didn't get to see me. Please tell her on my behalf that if I saw her, I would have definitely liked her. Grandma welcomes her to the Kyle family. She is now one of us."
Jayden held his elderly grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma..."
