chapter 19

She still remembered an autumn outing in high school. Evan locked her in the warehouse. The school bus was about to leave. Emma searched around in the crowd and saw that she hadn't gotten on the bus yet, so she dropped her things and looked for her everywhere.

She searched everywhere she could in the classroom, on the playground, on the rooftop. She didn't know how Emma guessed that she was hidden in the warehouse. Crystal had claustrophobia because when she was a child, Father Jones always liked to block her in the closet. Beat her and she won't be able to run away, and she won't be able to do anything except get beaten.

The administrator had gotten off work early, and Emma was kicking the door open. How strong could an undifferentiated child like her be? I don't know how long I kicked it, but finally kicked the door open.

Emma usually looked silent, but she was very thoughtful, so she just didn't say anything. She was used to keeping everything in her heart and thinking quietly by herself.

She said to Crystal who locked you here. We have been looking for you for a long time,

but the only person who came to find Crystal was Emma himself.

So now she said, when will you return to the City A, we all miss you,

actually what she said is.

Crystal didn't have time to see Emma for the last time in his previous life. Evan said that she made Emma angry and drove her away. Later, Emma sent her a message, "If you decide to be with Brandon, then just settle down and be with her." "

We wish you happiness."

I wish you happiness.

Crystal suddenly felt that she seemed to have missed a lot.

After staying in City B for less than half a month, Crystal still had one big thing to do.

Perhaps it was because it had been sunny the past few days, but the rain that had accumulated for half a month finally fell. She held a black umbrella and walked among the shadowy mountains and forests.

There is probably a lonely tomb in every unnamed forest. Grandma's grave is in this tomb. When Crystal was a child, she would feel scared when she came to visit her grandma's grave because it was so quiet here. She could only hear her own breathing.

The Jones family's life has always been very tight. It does not cost much to raise Crystal. With a few old clothes and a bowl of rice, she can live to the age of twelve safely and save the cost of helpers and nannies. But to raise their own children, they have had some difficulties. They are not very filial people, so naturally, they are not willing to spend money to buy a cemetery with better terrain for grandma.

The neat rows of tombstones have become shaky due to a lack of care over time. Some of the tombstones still have some offerings in front of them, but it’s hard to tell how long they have been there because they were eaten by animals in the mountains. The tombstone was also badly damaged, which was almost unbearable.

Crystal squatted down and found the tombstone in her memory. The yellow paper was well protected in her arms and not wet at all.

She took out the lighter and stubbornly lit the yellow paper on fire,

"Grandma, I'm here to see you."

"Not only do you have feelings for grandma, Crystal, but we also have feelings for grandma." But even though grandma is still alive, you haven't been very kind to her. After all, it's still about money. Crystal didn't want to waste words with them, nor did she want to give them any money, not even a penny. Maybe it was because Crystal's attitude had hardened, or maybe because they couldn't get much benefit from her, so the Jones family finally relented, and everything was going in the right direction.

Crystal had already chosen a new tomb for her grandma. , the deposit has been paid in full, but Ms. Sophia jumped out and suddenly refused. "What else do I want to say to you? You and Mrs. Jones are not related by blood. Why do you worry about doing these things?" "The person is already dead. You have time to work on the dead, so why don't you care about the people who are still alive." But how can it be the same? 

She hated the Jones family, but her grandma was kind to her. No matter what she did, Sophia would always refuse. No matter what she did, it was wrong. She even went to the City B to worship grandma every new year Festival. Obstructed in every possible way. Even the signed contract was returned because, because of Ms. Sophia, they were unwilling to sell the cemetery to her again. 

Later, Brandon helped, and the matter was finally completed. She obviously never told Brandon, and Brandon never mentioned this matter in front of her, but suddenly one day, the owner of the cemetery called in person to apologize, explained the reason to her, and even offered to help her take away the old woman's body. The urn was moved over.

Brandon accompanied her to pay homage to her grandma. The cemetery was not in the City A but in a nearby suburb. The journey was far, and it was raining that day. Every step she took was muddy, and she would fall over if she wasn't careful.

Brandon was always delicate in front of her, but this time he was rarely patient. He accompanied her to her grandma's grave, helped her wipe the tombstone, and listened to her cry for a long time.

Brandon didn't blame her tears for staining his expensive shirt but just patted her back silently. Crystal held his lapel and asked him, "Would grandma blame me for coming to pick her up too late?" Brandon and she, it's not too late.

It's a pity that Brandon didn't accompany her to visit her grandma more often.

Crystal silently protected Little Flame because Brandon was always very busy. He was busy dealing with company affairs, so how could he have time to accompany her to see her grandma? But they didn't spend much time together. Brandon always seemed to appear near the onset of puberty, then disappear in a hurry, and then reappear.

Later, when she went to visit the grave, she was always alone. If her grandma had a spirit in heaven, she might also feel strange. Why did the young guy who always accompanied her never come again? Why was she left alone again? It’s over.

The yellow paper she brought burned up quickly, leaving no trace in the rain. Crystal wiped the water from her face, not knowing whether it was rain or tears.
