The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 251

As Willow lay on the bed, Dorothy sat beside her.

Willow's big eyes sparkled as she asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, are you still sad?"

Afraid that her question wasn't clear enough, she quickly added, "It's been so many years since Mommy passed away…"

"Well, of course, there will still be some sadness." Dorothy continued with a sigh, "But since it's been a long time now, we're not as sad anymore compared to how we were in the beginning."

Willow also looked a little down. "Me, too. Mommy was very kind and gentle to me. I really liked her, so I never understood why she left me."

Her father was the same. The mere thought of losing both her beloved family members so suddenly filled her with unbearable pain and tears.

Milton didn't want Willow to cry, so he said, "It's okay, Willow. You have a new mommy now."

The sad Willow felt a little better when she heard what he said. "That's true. This mommy is also very good to me."

…

When Willow woke up in the morning, she unexpectedly found that her grandparents were gone.

In a panic, she didn't even get ready before rushing out the door. When she saw me, her eyes were full of tears. "Mommy, where are Grandpa and Grandma?"

"They slept downstairs last night," I explained.

It was rather taxing on them to stay upstairs. As such, Zane arranged for their rooms to be on the first floor.

Willow was puzzled. "They didn't go home?"

With a smile, I nodded. "As long as you are okay with it, they can stay here forever."

"Really?" Willow asked in disbelief.

Right then, Zane came out of the bedroom and calmly replied, "Of course."

After trotting downstairs, Willow found her grandparents already dressed and in the living room. She scratched her head shyly. "You guys are up so early."

Milton and Dorothy were both stunned.
