Chapter 117 Grace's Death Anniversary
Silas's heart felt astringent. With a voice of comfort, he said, âYou're the one who's still immersed in
the happiness of your childhood and are unwilling to come out of it. Now, you're able to live an
interesting life without relying on a man because your son is so intelligent and outstanding. Isn't
this happiness to you?â Camila smiled. âWell. That's right. I'm so much happier ever since I had my
son! Giving birth to him was the best decision I ever made in my life.â South also smiled, exposing
his small teeth. âI feel happy and grateful to have you too, Mommy.â
Meanwhile, Silas looked at Camila and thought to himself that he was happy to have them too. All
of a sudden, Silas wanted to make up for them since she must have suffered a lot whilst raising her
child alone! "What would you like to eat in the future? You can come here. I'll make some dishes for
you both!â Today was the death anniversary of Camilaâs mother. Camila had already awakened early
in the morning and dressed herself and her son in black. She also wore a bunch of small white
flowers in front of her chest. Just as she finished dressing up, she received a phone call from Marcus.
âCamila, today is Aunt Grace's death anniversary. Please wait for me; I'm coming over too.â Camila
then replied, âAlright.â Ten minutes later, when Camila came downstairs, she saw a familiar car
parked by the side of the road. Beside the car stood a man dressed in black. He had a tall figure and
was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. His entire body exuded a refined gentleness. It was
her cousin, Marcus. Camila then walked over to greet him. âMarcus!â South also called out to him,
âUncle Marcus!â Marcus smiled as he looked at the both of them. âSouth, you've become even more
handsome!â South grinned and replied, âUncle Marcus, you're the same-still as handsome as
before!â Marcus then reached out to ruffle South's little head twice. âLittle brat, you're such a good
talker now!â After they got in the car, the car slowly departed. Forty minutes later, they stopped at
the cemetery behind a mountain. Upon arriving at this place, everyone's emotions became
especially heavy. With a bunch of chrysanthemums and flowers in Camilaâs hands and a basket of
fruits in Marcusâ, they came before Grace Cohen's gravestone. On the gravestone, Grace's face and
smile were all there. However, it was clear that it had not been taken care of for a long time. The
flowers placed on the gravestone were scattered all over the floor; fallen leaves were everywhere
and the gravestone was covered in a thick layer of dust.
All of a sudden, Camilaâs nose burned as tears started welling up in her eyes. âMom, I've come to
visit you.â Upon saying this, she knelt before Grace's gravestone. South and Marcus also squatted
down to help tidy the area, whereupon they helped place the fresh flowers and the fruits. Camila
then wiped Grace's gravestone with a handkerchief while choking up. âMom, have you been well on
the other side? Is it cold there? I've returned to the country and I'm doing well right now. I'm able to
protect myself too. Mom, look. This is your grandson, South Brooklyn.â As she was talking, Camila
pulled South over and introduced him to Grace. âSouth, this is your grandma. Please bow your head
in respect to her.â
Hence, South kneeled obediently in front of Grace's gravestone and bowed his head down toward
it. âGrandma, I know you. Mommy always cries while holding your photo. Every year, Mommy would
become unhappy and would not eat anything on this day. She would also buy a lot of candles
because she said that you're afraid of the dark. Grandma, you have to be happy in the heavens. That
way, Mommy will be happy too!â
Marcus kneeled down too. âDon't worry, Aunt Grace. I'll take good care of Camila, so you donât have
to be concerned about her.â âMom, I miss you so much. How I wish I could hug you again!â Camila
then reached out to hug the gravestone and cried out, âYou always say that girls donât need to know
everything, but you didn't say that you would leave me. Now, I donât even know anything, and I
can't even take good care of myself. South always complains about the takeouts and says that my
cooking is terrible. I donât even know what to do anymore.â South was slightly startled by her words
and immediately bowed at the gravestone again. âI didnât do that, Grandma. I didnât complain about
Mommy. My mommy's the best so donât you worry; I'll take good care of her!â
