Chapter 1661


    Angeline continued to remain calm and collected as she probed further. "Granny, since you’ve been


    married a few times, I wonder if you have children or grandchildren?"


    The granny''s expression instantly darkened. "Yes, I d o. I’ve given birth to children for every one of


    my husbands. And I''ve exchanged my children for my freedom.”


    When the granny described the thrilling first half of her life, her tone was very calm. However, in


    Angeline''s heart, there was a stormy sea.


    "Exchanged your children for your freedom? Did your husbands try to imprison you?"


    Angeline was in disbelief because she had every reason to believe that Grand Old Master Ares was


    a very reasonable man.


    The granny shook her head and smiled bitterly. "They all loved me, so naturally, they wouldn’t try to


    imprison my body and make me unhappy. However, they disallowed me from doing things that I


    love, which to me, was simply as good as being dead. So I gave birth to children for them, and the


    children became my husbands'' spiritual sustenance. I was also able to walk away more at ease that


    way."


    Angeline had an epiphany. The reason was that the things the granny in front of her loved doing


    would cause catastrophic events. Her husbands had forbidden her from showing her face in public


    to do research in the medical field she loved for the sake of the family''s safety.


    Angeline could not judge the granny''s right from wrong. She might not have been an excellent wife


    or a good mother, but she was loyal to her career, which was also amendable dedication.

    Angeline suddenly shook the granny''s hand and asked gently, "Then, do you miss them?"


    The granny gave it a serious thought before answering, "I’d be lying to say that I don''t. But when I


    think about the huge disasters I would''ve brought to them, I know that it''s useless to think of them.


    Besides, I can no longer see them in this lifetime. So i n their hearts, I must merely be a person


    from the past."


    Angeline was sure at this moment that this older woman was the rumored medical genius, Mr.


    Boye.


    However, she still had questions about it. How did Grandma Boye escape from Imperial Capital


    after getting blown up? What role did her mother-inw, Chloe Yorks, y in all of this?


    Angeline said, "Granny, times are different now. Half a century ago, the practice of dominating the


    world was eliminated by society. We''re now at peace, andws rule our society. Science and


    technology are changing with each passing day. Anyone can apply for patents for the technology


    they develop, and there''s no need to worry about it being snatched by bandits..."


    The granny felt like she was hearing something fictitious and said excitedly, "Old man, did you hear


    what the littledy just said? Has the outside world really changed so much?"


    She had been chased after for most of her life and lived in hiding. The two people living in the


    crevice were almost cut off from the outside world. Hearing about the great contemporary societal


    system nowadays, both of them found it rather hard to believe.


    Soon, the grandpa realized something else. His charming and witty face turned gloomy all of a


    sudden. He snarled at Angeline. "Why are you telling u s all of this? Do you know who we are? Tell


    us now, have you been following us?"


    The granny came back to her sense as well and felt that Angelina''s remarks meant something else.


    She stared at Angeline in horror and said in disbelief, "Do you truly know who we are?"


    Angeline did not expect them to get so defensive. Feeling that she had taken it a step too far, she


    bashfully replied, "Don''t worry, I didn’te here with ill intentions. I swear I''ll never expose your


    identities."


    The grandpa and granny looked at Angeline suspiciously. Then, the granny asked, "How did you


    find out who I am?"


    "Don''t you know who we are?" asked Angeline.


    Angeline was in betweenughter and tears. Jay had met them before. Could they not see how


    simr Jay was to her?


    The grandma’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she continued somewhat self-deprecatingly,


    "Don''t keep us in suspense now. I might be smart inside theb, but I’m an idiot outside theb."


    "Littledy, who are you?" the grandpa asked curiously.


    Angeline then said, "I''m from Swallow City. I''m one of the Severe family''s granddaughters, Angeline


    Severe..."
