Lost Me Gained Regret

I quickly called out to Christine.

She linked arms with my mom, hurrying to keep up with my pace.

Herbert came looking for Edith, but ended up asking Ike if he wanted to hang out.

Of course, Ike was all in for some fun, dragging his mom and dad along, and the three of them left together.

That left just the three of us.

Clarence scratched his head, "Well, I guess I'll head off then. You see, my grandma just called, said she missed me."

"Later, then."

Eventually, the place emptied out, leaving only the staff cleaning up.

And Dailey and Nelly.

Dailey stared in the direction Christine had left, lost in thought.

Nelly sensed something, "Dai, heading home or...?"

The man beside her seemed not to hear, prompting her to glance in the same direction Christine had gone.

Her face maintained its gentle curve, and she softly asked again.

This time, Dailey responded, "I'll take you home."

...

After resting for a couple of days, Gregory, Mira, and I decided to visit grandma.

Mom volunteered to join us, which caught me by surprise.

She had always avoided discussing this matter.

"Mom, if you're still not over it, we can wait. Grandma would understand."

Mom shook her head, "We need to face what needs to be faced to truly move on."

So, all four of us went to visit grandma.

We had planned to go yesterday but were deterred by the rain.

With a child in tow, we didn't want to risk a cold.

Today, though the roads were still damp.

I walked behind Gregory, who carried the child to prevent any slips.

Gregory looked back at me, "You go ahead."

I refused, "No, I'll watch from behind."

Gregory handed the child to me, insisting I go first, "If you fall, I won't see you."

I chuckled, carefully climbing the steps with the child in my arms.

At the gravesite, Gregory laid down flowers and grandma's favorite treats.

He knelt first, then reached out for the

Mom and grandma hadn't been close in-laws, but she knelt too.

I clasped one of her hands, our eyes meeting briefly, no words needed.

Turning to the gravestone, Gregory wiped away the water droplets from the photo.

I smiled at him, adjusting the child so her face was towards grandma.

"Grandma, I've brought your great-granddaughter to see you," I began.

"I haven't dreamt of you lately and wonder how you're doing. If you hear me today, come see me, and if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."

"And,"

I lifted my left hand, the pear-shaped diamond ring sparkling under the sunlight.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Gregory proposed, and we're planning to get married."

"We'll come back to celebrate with you, but today, we're celebrating the baby's hundred days."

With that, I raised a glass towards grandma's photo, then poured it onto the ground.

Gregory followed, his voice deep and sincere like never before.

"Grandma thank you for your trust and
