Grandma Julia continued. "Luna said that Garrett was in trouble, his whereabouts and survival unknown. So she was going to find him, confirm he was safe, and then come back."
"She treated that opportunity as the final closure between them, otherwise she wouldn't have peace of mind for the rest of her life."
"Where could a pregnant woman go to find someone? She needed someone to take care of her!"
"We went crazy looking for her. At that point, we even hoped Garrett would hurry up and appear, as long as your mother was safe."
"But we received false information and were completely misled. We had no idea your mother was in Stonehill."
"When we finally got news of your mother again..."
Grandma Julia's eyes brimmed with tears by this point.
A faint trace of hatred glinted within those tears.
She clenched her fists, pounding the table heavily again and again. "That bastard Carter! He clearly knew his own sister was in Stonehill. He clearly knew the whole family was going insane trying to find her. To protect Paige, he didn't utter a single word!"
"He is the worse person in this family, even more awful than Paige!"
"To prevent us from finding out, he never even went to see Luna with his own eyes. He just listened to others say everything was fine and felt relieved, letting her suffer there."
"In the end, even when Luna died, he didn't tell the truth."
"If you hadn't come back and exposed all of this, Wiona, when would I have ever found out?"
"I will never forgive him for as long as I live!"
As she spoke, Grandma Julia could no longer control her tears, which streamed freely down her face.
"How did I give birth to such a disappointing kid!"
"If it weren't for Paige refusing to confess the truth to this day, I wouldn't have temporarily spared your uncle Carter."
"I will settle the score with him slowly later! He owes Luna so much."
"It is just Ryan who suffers, such a good boy..."
Wiona gently rubbed Grandma Julia's chest over and over. Sensing her grandmother's extreme emotional fluctuations, she wanted to stop the elderly woman from speaking further.
"Grandma, let's take a break for a while, okay?"
"Let's stop talking for now."
"Your health is more important."
