Chapter 865
Granny Reba weakly said, “Right now, you fancy Nelly and think you two could spend your life
together. But love is fickle, and no one can predict it. You just have to promise me you’ll treat Nelly
right…”
“Please don’t say things like this. I’m calling the doctor…” Cornelia suddenly shouted out of control,
“Doctor! Get a doctor! Please, somebody get a doctor!”
Granny Luisa got anxious, afraid she wouldn’t have the chance to finish her final words. “Nelly, listen to
your grandma. We’ve already seen the best doctors in Riverton….
She couldn’t bear to say the cruel truth, she hoped Granny Reba could get better, but there was no
chance of her surviving.
“I don’t want to hear it… I don’t…” Cornelia grabbed Granny Reba’s hand and ced it on her
stomach. “Haven’t you always wanted me to have a baby for you to hold? I might already be pregnant.
In a few months, you’ll be able to hold the baby you’ve always wanted.”
Hearing the good news, Granny Reba’s lifeless eyes instantly lit up with a faint spark. “Good…”
Cornelia continued, “I think it’s a boy, a handsome boy just like Marc. His name, it has to be chosen by
you…”
“Cornelia, if you don’t let Granny Reba speak now, you won’t get the chance to hear what she
wants to tell you.” Marcus held Cornelia, forcing her to calm down. “Listen to her first.”
Comelia didn’t want to listen. She thought that if she didn’t let Granny Reba finish, then she would
always be by her side. “Can you think of a name for me?
Granny Reba took a moment before finally speaking. “I haven’t thought of a name yet, only a
nickname that can be used for both boy and girl. Let’s call them Hope”
It was a simple and direct name. Granny Reba didn’t wish for the child to be extraordinary, just
healthy throughout its life.
“Okay. No matter if it’s a boy or girl, the name will be Hope.” To keep Granny Reba with her,
Cornelia tried to keep the conversation going. “If I have twins, one name won’t be enough. Can youCòntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
think of more names for me…”
Granny Reba said, “If it’s twins, then name one Faith and the other Harmony. Or one Hope and the
other Grace.”
Comelia said, “Okay, if I have four kids, Faith, Harmony, Hope, Grace, I want all these names. You
keep thinking, I want to have many, many children for you…”
Granny Reba lifted her hand with effort, touching Cornelia’s face. “You silly girl! Do you really think
this will make me stay?”
Comelia nodded anxiously. “Yes, you promised me, you would always be with me…”
“Nelly, I’m so sorry!” Granny Reba’s hand fell back down weakly. “I really wanted to be with you
forever, but I have to leave this time…”
Cornelia shook her head violently. “Don’t apologize to me, you’ve never done anything wrong to me.
How could I be here today without you?”
However, Granny Reba firmly believed that she had been at fault with Cornelia. Even though her life
wasing to an end, she couldn’t forget the past. “Nelly, I am sorry.
It’s my fault that I didn’t protect you properly, and you had to endure so much pain. I am sorry for
keeping you away from home all these years.”
