Chapter 1250 Tearful Reunion

"Granny... Granny... It's Sophie...Granny..." When Sophia tried to tuck her grandmother under the worn quilt, she realized that her grandmother's body was freezing.
This time, her grandmother heard her clearly. She suddenly opened her cloudy eyes and asked, "Sophie, is that you?" It took all her strength to ask the simple question.
She started coughing violently.
"Granny... Yes, it's me... Your little Sophie... Granny, it's me." Sophia rushed to help her grandmother up from her bed. She thought it would take some effort, but to her surprise, she picked her up easily. Like a feather, her grandmother was thin and weightless in her arms...
Noticing this, Colin frowned. He was about to give Sophia a hand when she helped her grandmother up. Seeing Sophia effortlessly manage on her own, he could only imagine how light her grandmother currently was.
"Sophie, is that you?" Renee stared at Sophia with her sightless eyes. She reached out a wrinkled and callous hand for her granddaughter.
The stench of Renee's body made Sophia burst into angry tears as her grandmother reached for her hands. How did her grandmother end up like this?
"Granny... It's me... Your Sophie has come back... Granny... I'm a horrible granddaughter... It took me years to visit you again..." Tears ran down Sophia's cheeks as she sobbed. Colin felt distressed at the sight.
When Renee was certain that it was Sophia hugging her, she grinned. "Sophie, I always knew you would come back to visit me again. That's why I held on for so long..." Renee started coughing. "Sophie, you really came back. I'm so happy..." Renee coughed violently again, gasping for breath.
"Granny... Please stop talking... I'm so sorry... I should've come back earlier..." Sophia burst into sobs.
"It's okay, Sophie. After seeing you again, I can finally die in peace..." Overcome with joy, Renee gave a toothless grin.
The villagers had followed them into the Lo house and stood in the courtyard to watch. Granny Wang was among them. She walked inside, speaking in a trembling voice, "Why did you come back so late, Sophie? Your uncle and aunt moved away two years ago. The next year, your grandmother fell ill
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
After giving all the tonics she brought with her to Granny Wang, Sophia caught up with Colin. Amidst the crowd, she entered the car and sat in the backseat with her grandma, leaving behind the small village that her grandmother lived in for most of her life.
On the road, Sophia asked Renee a lot of questions. Apparently, before Sophia's uncle moved away, a group of men dressed in black visited him several times.
Before Sophia's uncle disappeared, Renee overheard him saying that the woman Jay Lo married got them into trouble.
Sophia was confused. Did it have something to do with her mother? She remembered that her mother's parents had passed away many years ago. Being an only child, her mother lived with Sophia's father afterwards.
The car drove down the highway as Sophia contemplated on her grandmother's words. When they arrived at the Chuck Private Hospital, it was already 2:00 p.m..
While Colin booked a ward for Renee, Sophia helped her bathe and combed her messy hair smooth. Afterwards, she helped Renee put on the hospital gown and settled her in bed.
The doctor soon arrived, taking the sleeping elder into the examination room to examine her.
Colin sat on the bench in the corridor, with Sophia in his arms. "Don't worry, Granny will be all right."
"Colin, I keep thinking... If only I came back earlier..." Sophia blamed herself for what happened.
"It's not your fault. No one knew your uncle would abandon her."
