Female NovelThis cherished grandson held a special place in her heart. He possessed not only good looks but also an exceptional intellect from a young age.
However, he remained unmarried, and she yearned for a great-grandchild.
Betty’s mind remained lucid as she spoke slowly, drawing from her previous conversation with Waylen’s mother. “I was informed by your mother that you’ve taken an interest in a girl. She mentioned that you intended to introduce her to me… Why haven’t you brought her along?”
Waylen lifted his head, his gaze gentle as he fixated upon Betty’s snow-white hair.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
He smiled warmly and responded, “She was caught up with work, and I couldn’t get a chance to call her.”
A tinge of disappointment marred Betty’s countenance. “You’re just deceiving me… I know, I know… How could I be unaware of your temper? You must have upset the girl.”
With a subtle grin lingering on his lips, Waylen responded, “Indeed, I may have upset her. Nonetheless, my pursuit continues… I will bring her to you on another occasion, Grandma. I implore you to speak kindly of me.”
Betty breathed a sigh of relief and remarked, “It’s reassuring to know that you’re still pursuing her.”
Betty persisted in her inquiries about the girl’s characteristics.
Concerned that Betty might struggle to hear him, Waylen gently whispered in her ear, “She is a stunning young woman, Grandma. She possesses admirable qualities, although she can be a bit short-tempered at times.
Betty listened intently, her attention fully captured.
As her life dwindled, regret gnawed at Betty’s heart. She murmured, “I yearn to lay my eyes upon her before I depart.”
Inside the room, the female members of the Fowler family wept inconsolably.
Betty’s kindness had endeared her to all, making it agonizing for them to witness her final moments. Yet, deep down, everyone knew that this would be their last encounter…
Waylen tenderly caressed Betty’s head.
He retrieved his phone and whispered, “I’ll let her speak to you, alright? After conversing with her, you’ll know that I haven’t deceived you…”
Betty’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Waylen dialed Rena’s number and the call connected.
Rena answered.
In a raspy voice, Waylen relayed, “My grandmother wishes to speak with you.”
Rena sensed that he sought to provide solace to Betty’s departing soul. After a brief moment of silence, she acquiesced with a quiet “Okay.”
Waylen held the phone near Betty’s ear.
On the other end, clutching her phone, Rena listened to the voice of the elderly woman whom she had never met. The words spoken were about granting leniency to Waylen, which brought to mind Rena’s own regret of not being able to bid her father a final farewell.
