Chapter 8 Stephanie's world fell apart in that moment . She saw the doctor's mouth moving , but couldn't hear any sound . There was only a sharp ringing in the ears and the roaring of blood rushing to the temples . She staggered towards the covered white cart , trembling fingers grasping the edge of the fabric . When she suddenly lost the courage to lift it . She didn't tear open the white cloth until the cold tears dripped onto the back of her hand . Grandma's peaceful face came into view , but she would never again show her kind smile . " Grandma … " she choked , tears splashing onto the old woman's cold face , " I am Stephanie … look at me … " " Wake up , please wake up . You said … you wanted to see our baby being born . Don't leave me , I only have you ! " Edgar stood to the side , his eyes flashing with a rare hint of guilt . He was about to step forward when Amelia suddenly screamed and fell to the ground .

" I'll take Amelia to see the doctor first , " his voice was soft , yet it felt like a sharp ice pick stabbing into Stephanie's already broken heart , " You … wait for me for a while . " Stephanie did not answer . She just held her grandmother's gradually cold body tightly , crying as if she were a child abandoned by the whole world , her heart torn apart . The medical staff in the corridor all had red eyes , and some quietly turned their faces to wipe away tears . And Edgar , holding Amelia in his arms , walked out of her sight step by step . She cried so painfully that in the end , everything went black before her eyes , and she passed out completely . *** When he woke up again , Edgar was rarely sitting by the bed . " I have arranged everything for my grandmother's funeral , " he said in a low voice . " The cemetery is chosen in the best suburb of the city , and the funeral … " " Get lost , Stephanie interrupted him hoarsely . " Edgar frowned , " Stephanie , don't be unreasonable . It was just an accident , and I have done my best to make amends . " Stephanie didn't say anything else , she lifted the covers and got out of bed .

" He grabbed her wrist and said , " I cancelled all my work these days to be with you . I also arranged my grandmother's affairs properly . What else do you want from me ? " Stephanie looked up at him , her eyes empty . " I want you to stay away from me . " Edgar took a deep breath and said , " Fine , since you don't know any better , I'll go keep Amelia company now . " " Go ahead , " Stephanie suddenly laughed , " Haven't you always wanted me to be generous ? Now I'll grant your wish . " Edgar paused for a moment , then showed a satisfied expression , " It's good that you've figured it out . " " I promised you that I would return to the family in ten years and spend the second half of my life with you every day . So , please don't make trouble during these ten years . I don't have time to pacify you every day .
