Amelia Clarke had never spoken to anyone else about these matters except Owen Moreland.
Emily Collins turned her swollen, red eyes toward Amelia.
Amelia offered her a faint, serene smile and said, "Ever since I turned ten, I have yearned every day to go back to life before I was ten—to the days filled with my mother's love, my grandparents' care. Many times in my dreams, I saw my grandmother bringing me the fresh meat dishes she had made."
"Grandma, ever since my mother passed away too, I thought I had no more family left in this world. No matter how far I ventured out, I believed no one would think of me, no one would ask me when I'll return home. I didn't dare to imagine that there could still be people in this world connected to me by blood."
"I am so happy, so glad that you are my grandmother. I feel so fortunate that you love me as much as my previous grandmother did."
Emily Collins' tears began to flow uncontrollably.
