Chapter 1370:
Hearing Addy’s frail voice, Elissa froze, her tears falling freely.
Then it hit her.
He was asking if she'd been okay.
After all these years, that was what he wanted to know first when he finally saw her again.
“Oh, Grandpa...” Her shoulders shook as tears spilled freely. She nodded hard, her voice breaking. “I'm pretty
good.”
Relief eased across Addy’s face. The tension melted from his brow, and a tired smile lifted the corners of his
mouth.
“Good...” he murmured, drifting deeper into the pillows, his hand still loosely curled around hers.
Then, with slow effort, his gaze shifted to the man standing quietly nearby.
His eyes narrowed slightly in puzzlement. “Is that... your husband?”
Elissa stood frozen, her heart skipping a beat. She hadn't seen this coming. Was her grandfather's mind clouded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtby age? Or had the years blurred his memory of Robin's face? It seemed he had mistaken Ernest for her
husband.
Since their wedding, Robin had never joined her on visits to her family’s home. Given her grandfather's
advanced years, a lapse in recollection was forgivable.
Elissa cast an apologetic glance at Ernest, ready to clarify the mix-up. “Grandpa, it’s...”
But Addy, undeterred, extended a trembling hand toward Ernest, his voice soft yet certain. “Come...”
Ernest felt a rush of surprise, tempered by a warm glow in his chest. He understood Addy’s error, mistaking him
for Robin. And, truth be told, he didn’t mind playing Elissa’s husband.
With a raised brow and Elissa’s astonished gaze upon him, Ernest stepped forward, gently clasping Addy’s
trembling hand. “It’s me,” he said warmly. “I've cwith Elissa to see you.”
“Are... you well?” Addy’s question carried a subtle shift in meaning, his aged eyes searching Ernest's face.
Ernest's lips curved into a gentle smile. “No need to worry. Elissa and | are doing fine. We'll make tto visit
you often.”

Addy’s weathered eyes, once dulled by time, now sparkled with joy. Grasping both their hands, he joined them
together, his voice a soft murmur. “Good... very good...”
“Grandpa!” Elissa’s heart swelled, tears spilling down her cheeks as she felt the depth of her grandfather's love
and her own pang of regret. Sobbing, she whispered, “I'm sorry, Grandpa... | was wrong.”
For too long, she had kept her distance, avoiding her grandfather to sidestep her own discomfort.
As Ernest had gently reminded her, her grandfather loved her deeply and would never judge her.
“Grandpa...” Elissa sank to her knees beside the bed, overcwith emotion.
