It was as if she had been shoved into an icy lake, her whole body shivering.
Her grandma’s words meant that her mom had committed suicide, falling into deep despair after
discovering her dad’s affair.
Then, what did all of Preston’s care and tenderness towards her mother when she was hospitalized
mean?
Was it all just a show for her?
If so, Agnes felt like the last bit of warmth left between her parents had disappeared.
Agnes even forgot how she got home. When Agnes walked into the yard, Jared had just finished
cleaning up and was washing his hands by the well.
Seeing Agnes return, he approached her and asked curiously, “Did your grandmother mention me?”
But Agnes seemed to be lost, walking into the house like a robot, as if she hadn’t heard Jared’s words
at all.
Jared immediately sensed that something was off.
After entering the house, Agnes hid under the covers and started crying.
The news had hit Agnes hard, and she felt like something inside her had been destroyed.
Her mom had committed suicide. If her mom really did commit suicide, then it was her dad’s fault.
Agnes felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
She could forgive Preston for his years of infidelity and even for having another daughter.
But she couldn’t forgive his betrayal that led to her mother’s suicide.
In Agnes’s memory, her mother was such a gentle person. How could he bear to hurt her?
What had she gone through to choose to leave this world? Agnes couldn’t even begin to imagine.”
Jared sat down by the bed, gently patting Agnes’s back.
He didn’t rush to ask anything, just quietly comforted her
After a while, hearing her grandma’s footsteps returning, Agnes lifted her head from under the covers,
wiping away her tears forcefully.
Only then did Jared ask, “What happened? Can you tell me?”
Agnes shook her head, “TIl tell you later. It’s about my mom. I need to confirm some things.”
Agnes didn’t want Jared to know about her mom’s suicide, and her mind was a mess night now.
Jared didn’t press further.
Agnes’s mother died ten years ago. That was certainly a deep wound in her heart. There was no need
for him to probe.
If she wanted to talk about it, she would tell him.
After a while in the room, her grandma called them for dinner.
During the meal, grandma’s attitude towards Jared was much better, even adding more food to his
plate.
Jared was a bit flabbergasted.
Agnes knew very well that everything before was just her grandma testing him.
Now that he had probably passed the test, that’s why she started treating him kindly.
But after dinner, Agnes said, “Grandma, I plan to go back to the city tomorrow.”
“Why are you leaving so soon?”
“I have some work to handle. Don’t worry, grandma, once I finish this busy period, I will come back to
visit you often.”
When Agnes and Jared were about to leave, her grandma prepared a lot of things for them, including
the vegetables she grew, filling up an entire cart
