Chapter 3 Grandma's death

Riachard Smith did not linger long. He left the evening for the two of you. Anyway, time for him and Adelia is still long. Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Adelia . But she didn't pay any attention to him, just silently lowered her head as if thinking about something.

He stopped for five minutes, but Adelia remained silent. Riachard Smith sighed and left disappointed. However, as soon as he got to the door, a small hand pulled on his vest, making him stop. Riachard Smith was overjoyed and turned to look at his daughter.

''Are you my father?''

''That's right, i'm your father.''

Riachard Smith quickly nodded as if afraid that his little daughter would not understand him.

''Do you love me so much? So why have you come now?"

Adelia 's question was like a bucket of cold water thrown straight into Richard Smith 's face.

Adelia looked at him, his eyes full of cold, distant expression. She realized that this man was her father, who had the same blood as her. Come pick her up at "home" today.

Take care of her like that, notice her like that. Then why is the time coming?

Adelia silently raised his eyes, waiting for his father's answer. Riachard Smith was cold sweat all over; he didn't know how to answer his daughter. How many years he was in the market, there was a Smith family on his back-but he had never been in this situation.

Adelia waited and did not see him speak. She got a little frustrated and let go of her hand.

''You go back. I'll go with you tomorrow, I promised you."

Riachard Smith had just stepped out when she quickly closed the door. Seeing her standing in the kitchen made her heart full of worry. She was, of course, worried about her grandmother, concerned about her illness. But since she said it would be cured, it will be okay, so that it will be okay, right?

Adelia entered the room. She has to move tomorrow, so now she has to take advantage of the time to clean up. Her clothes are not many. The clothes that couldn't be worn were all thrown away by her aunt. She never liked to keep old things in the house. The clothes had just been thrown away when she bought new clothes. She raised her from childhood to adulthood, letting herself suffer but never letting her lose to friends of the same age.

Her furniture was tiny, so it took Adelia just over an hour to finish. Suddenly seeing the phone on the bed, she picked it up again. Type on the screen one letter at a time. But when he saw that information, Adelia froze.

She hurriedly showed her to her grandmother, but she only raised her eyebrows and lightly shook her head.

''Grandma's illness is not that bad, don't worry. It's only in the early stages to be curable."

"But just now, I heard him say the final stage."

Adelia 's face filled with tears and snot while crying and saying.

Her grandmother was very calm from beginning to end; she gently stroked her head to reassure her.

''You heard it wrong; it's the first stage. So she will be cured. Hey, children with three children must be very obedient, have to obey, and study well. Then will you bring me back here?"

''It's OK.''

Adelia wiped her tears while making a promise to her.

Her grandmother looked at her grandson's appearance and was heartbroken. Raising her daughter for fourteen years was the first lie she told her grandson. But who knows, no one else can care for this poor grandchild other than his father.

Tomorrow.

Riachard Smith came to pick her up very early; Adelia had just finished breakfast when he was already waiting at the door. She just looked at him and said nothing. That morning, Adelia cried a lot; she coaxed her for a long time before she stopped crying.

Except for her grandmother, she did not meet anyone that day she left. Elias is no exception.

Adelia did not know where Riachard Smith took her, apparently not in city A. It would take two hours to get there.

It is the H City, the city that Riachard Smith said has her home.

Adelia has been here for three years in the blink of an eye.

Three years is not long, short is not short. At least it was enough for her to change into a completely different person.

When her grandmother died, her relationship with Riachard Smith became bitter the first year.

Her grandmother's illness began to worsen in the first months. Riachard Smith knows this. She knows; she doesn't know. From her phone calls, she just foolishly believed that she was having very successful radiotherapy. Until the day her grandmother died, Riachard Smith told her a sentence, "Your grandma is dead; let's go back to city A."

That day was a day that Adelia would never forget.

At first, she did not believe what he said, like a soulless corpse sitting in the car returning home. Arriving at the city funeral home, everything is well-prepared, and the aunt lying in the middle is very peaceful. Only then did Adelia know that he had been deceived for so long. Grandma died, everyone knows, only she doesn't know.

Grandmother treats people very well, many people visit her, and even Elias 's family comes. They looked at Adelia 's pale face, did not eat or drink, and knelt for a whole day beside her coffin, but no one knew what to say.

Riachard Smith signed tiredly. At first, after returning to H city, Adelia 's attitude towards him was inherently not good, but eventually, it was reconciled. But looking at the situation in front of him, he felt that something would happen soon.

Elias came over; he did not advise her to eat, drink or rest like others. He said ''cry, cry loudly, I'm with you.'' After hearing that, Adelia couldn't hold back his tears; she hugged him and cried, releasing all the sadness in his heart.

The funeral was white; only the mournful cry of Adelia could be heard.

Those who came to visit looked at Adelia and were heartbroken.

After her death, her relationship with Riachard Smith deteriorated.

In fact, besides her, Riachard Smith also has a son one year younger than Adelia . Accompanying was a woman whom she had to call her mother tongue.

Before, when her grandmother was still alive. Her attitude towards Riachard Smith was neither sally nor bland; she did not have a child's affection for his father towards him. Not even a single 'daddy' has ever been called, let alone called the other woman by 'mother'.

It's not unusual for stepmothers to have children of their husband's children from past to present.

When Adelia first arrived, she was still shy, of course, and was constantly bullied in the dark. But then she realized that if she continued like this one day, she would never die. Her personality also follows that, which is gradually honed.

Until the death of his grandmother two years later, Adelia could not rest in peace. Riachard Smith was so angry because of her that he was hospitalized several times, even in the ICU visited once.

And her stepmother, Lynne, was not much happier. Before Adelia was soft, arbitrarily let her knead. After that, even the strand of her hair did not come. After that, it's more peaceful. The two of them developed into a relationship, "River water does not violate well water."

So, if it's with whom Adelia has the best relationship, it's Smith Dinh Phac. At least there weren't any quarrels or swinging bows and swords against each other.

Riachard Smith previously thought that keeping her story a secret would not provoke Adelia . But then, who would have thought that the father-son relationship that was so difficult to achieve now stands on the edge of an abyss. Adelia went from a gentle girl with a cheerful personality to a rebellious, increasingly arrogant, and extravagant person. A bit of the soft, upbeat nature of the past is also not left.
