"Theowy, I want to drink some water..." Even though it was painful for her, Cindy did not forget her lines.
"Are you dead? Why didn't you pour her some water?" After Theo pressed the button on the bed, he turned around and shouted at me. His eyes and expression were terrifyingly dark.
If it were not for Cindy who was still in his arms, he would have eaten me alive.
I lowered my head and did not say anything. Although it was not my fault, this matter was ultimately related t o me. I was the one who provoked Cindy and made her feel uneasy.
That was why she had hurt herself to prove her place i n Theo's heart.
She did not even need to prove herself. Everyone knew how much he treasured her!
Mason rushed over shortly after. A large group of people surrounded Cindy and started treating her burns. I quietly left the ward and walked out of the hospital.
The rain was not as heavy, but it was still drizzling.
Since I was not allowed to appear at the funeral, I had no reason to go to the old mansion anymore. However, I still took a taxi to the Grant family cemetery in
advance.
Grandmother was my benefactor, and she treated me like her own granddaughter when she was alive. I had to go to send her off on a final journey.
There was a small hill in the Grant family's cemetery. I t was said that the ancestors of the Grant family had especially sought out a master to find this strategic location that would help maintain the prosperity in the family. The ancestors of the Grant family were all buried here and watchmen were guarding it.
As it was still early, there were only a few workers who had come to prepare in advance.
Grandmother's grave would be next to Grandfather's. I found a small bush that was higher on higher ground. This way, I could avoid being seen by Theo and send Grandmother off in my way.
I sat on the wet ground in a daze and thought about m y situation. Thinking of Theo's indifferent attitude towards me, I felt uncomfortable.
At four-thirty in the afternoon, Grandmother's ashes and the Grant family members gradually arrived at the cemetery.
Grandmother was a person of great virtue and prestige when she was alive. Other than the members of the Grant Family, there were also countless other people from prestigious families in Salt City that came to attend. The vast crowd had no end.
However, I still saw Theo in the long queue. He was always like a crane in a flock of chickens, and his black clothes made him look even more handsome.
Theo was pushing a wheelchair. With a closer look, I saw Cindy was sitting in it!
