From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 255 I Don't Have a Mom Anymore Connor nodded and waved his hand. "Take a look. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed? Your mom loved cleanliness. If I didn't tidy up properly, she'd get upset with me." Penelope nodded repeatedly. "It's fine." Connor heard this and smiled, but as he smiled, tears began to fall.

She started crying hard, too.

The morgue was eerie and quiet.

Seeing no one around, Connor whispered, "Penelope, at this point, you need to think about yourself. Your mom is gone; you don't need to worry anymore. I'm a burden to you, don't worry about me." "Dad, with Mom gone, you're my only family. How can I leave you?" "You still have your child!" Penelope lowered her head, looking at her abdomen.

"The next generation is the hope," Connor said, tightly holding her hand.

"The most important thing now is you and the babies." "I can't leave you, Dad." Connor beca bit anxious.

"I mean, you should think about yourself first. Didn't you say you had a chance to leave? Then you must go first!" Penelope asked, "What about you?" "I'll stay in LA." "But..." "It's okay; I can take care of myself. As long as you can start a new life, I'll be at ease." Penelope wanted to say more, but Connor turned his back and sighed deeply.

"I know you want to takeand your mom with you. But that's too hard, and it might just drag you down. None of us might make it out in the end," Connor said, "Right now. it's just me. I'll stav here,. visit,vour mom's_arave from tto time. keep her company, and that's how my days will pass." Penelope lowered her head. "Dad, but if I leave and Kelvin comes to question you about my whereabouts, what will you do?" She had seen Kelvin's possessiveness and paranoia.

If she disappeared, he would easily lose his mind. She couldn't imagine that scenario.

Brandon said she could fake her death.

But if Kelvin doubted her death, he'd frantically exhaust all means to find her.

What if he lost control and forced Connor to reveal her whereabouts? "Penelope, don't letin on where you're headed," Connor said, "If I'm clueless, I've got nothing to spill, no matter how much Kelvin grills me." At this moment, the crematorium staff approached. "The car is waiting outside. We need to take Grace's body." Connor nodded, reluctantly looking at Grace.

He had personally changed Grace's clothes and cleaned her body. This was the last thing he could do for her. Penelope stared blankly, then got into the car to head to the crematorium.Everything proceeded according to the process.

Two hours later, she received a box of ashes.

Inside was her mother.

"Dad," Penelope handed the ashes to Connor. "Take good care of them."Connor's hands trembled as he took them, holding them tightly, unwilling to let go.

Penelope couldn't bear to watch any longer. She quickly walked outside to the sunny spot, finally feeling a bit of warmth.

She lowered her head, her petite body trembling.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of her.

"Kelvin, can you stop being so annoying?" Penelope gritted her teeth and looked up.

But it was Nathan.

Her eyelashes were still wet with tears as she stared at him. "Nathan." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on novi L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Penelope hadn't called him that in a long time. When she was little, she followed him around with a ponytail, calling him "big brother" every day.

"Penelope, Aunt Grace..." She closed her eyes, "I don't have a mom anymore, Nathan." Her pain was something only Nathan could understand.

They grew up together, and Grace had always been good to Nathan.

Nathan's eyes reddened. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't find the words. In the end, he just gently patted her head.

"You still have Uncle Connor and me. I'll always be by your side. Whenever you need me, I'll be there." Penelope murmured, "I didn't expect to lose the person closest toin the end. Life was getting better, so why did fate play such a cruel joke?" "Penelope, stay strong." Nathan wanted to hug her, to give her a place to lean on.

But he couldn't do that.

Penelope needed a place to vent her pain, but she had to keep her boundaries.

They stood facing each other, controlling their emotions.

Penelope took a deep breath and softly asked, "When did you leave the ward? What did my mom say to you?" "She said that after your divorce, she wanted to entrust you to me, asking if I was willing to take care of you and marry you. I answered according to her wishes, soothing her emotions. Then she toldto go back to work." "She asked you to leave?" "Yes, I didn't agree, but she insisted I go." Nathan replied, "I didn't want to go against her wishes, so I agreed." Penelope continued. "Did you see Kelvin when you left?"

She needed to understand what happened at that time! Nathan shook his head. "No, it was justand Aunt Grace in the ward." However...

Nathan remembered something. "When I left, I looked back and saw a shadow passing by."

"That must have been Kelvin," Penelope bit her lip. "The last person my mom saw before she died was him! What did he talk to my mom about? No one knows!" Nathan was shocked.

That meant after he left, Kelvin quickly entered the ward, talked to Grace, and then Grace passed away! Kelvin's suspicion couldn't be cleared no matter what!

"It's my fault," Nathan said, guilt-ridden. "I shouldn't have bailed. Even with Aunt Grace Oushingto leave, I should've hung around till you and Uncle Connor got back. That would've kept Kelvin from waltzing in.." Penelope answered bitterly, "It's not your fault. Even if you stayed at the door, no one could stop Kelvin if he wanted to break in!" "Penelope." Nathan raised his hand, really wanting to hug her.

But he was afraid their closeness would bring her trouble.

But she was so sad and needed a haven.

"I'll help you with Aunt Grace's funeral," Nathan said, "It's the last thing I can do for her." Connor was old and had mobility issues.

Penelope was pregnant and couldn't overexert herself.

Nathan was indeed the best person for the job, and she felt at ease leaving it to him.

She was about to agree when Kelvin's low, cold voice suddenly sounded. "Aunt Grace's funeral doesn't need an outsider to handle it!" He strode over, grabbed Penelope's wrist, and pulled her to his side.
