S31 48. Warm Hug
Frank nced at Kara briefly. His wife raised an eyebrow and gave a small nod, giving support.
“What do you want to do, Grandma?”
“I want to apologize.” Diana cupped the face that reminded her of Rowan. “I''m sorry about this selfish grandmother of yours,
Frank. | shouldn''t have taken out my anger on you, dragging you into your grandfather''s troubles. You were not at fault. | should
have weed you warmly at the farm.”
Swallowing bitterness, Diana turned to Kara. “And you too. | should have weed you all warmly, invited you to tour the farm
and eat together. Sorry if | have disappointed and saddened you with my
treatment.”
Kara smiled slightly. Diana''s sadness was contagious through her
eyes.
“It''s okay, Grandma. | didn’t take it to heart.” Kara stroked her arm.
However, the old woman caught her hand. Her head shook slight made you walk to the orphanage and shovel the snow there. |
igno your tiredness and coldness. | asked you to prepare dinner when y had a fever. | didn’t even allow you to sit at the dining
table. Sorry you had to eat in the living room and back porch.”
“It''s okay, Grandma. It''s okay. It''s all over. I''m happy that Grandma epted me. There''s nothing to regret now.”
Diana sighed faintly then turned to Frank. Theyers of her tears glistened reflecting the emotions.
“You have a very good wife. You''re lucky to have her, Frank. You made

the right choice.
Not expecting to receive such praise, Frank let out augh. His heart felt light, his chest felt spacious.
“Grandma,” Frank hugged Diana and rubbed her back, “thank you for making this moment possible. I''m relieved that you want to
make peace with us. Thank you for forgetting your past sadness for us.”
Diana shook her head. She closed her eyes a little longer before meeting Frank''s gaze again. “Don’t thank me. You will only
embarrass me. You are my grandson. | should love you.”
After one blink, Diana turned to Kara. “And we are family. We should get along and live in peace.”
While smiling, Kara hugged Diana tightly. “Thank you, Grandma.”
“I told you, don’t thank me. You reminded me of how cruel | can be.”
Kara chuckled lightly. Nodding, she returned the distance. “Okay. | won''t thank you anymore.”
“Good. And now is my chance to congratte my new great- grandson.”
Diana stroked Kara''s stomach, giving it a loving look. After a mo she nced at Kara. “Congrattions on your pregnancy, My
Granddaughter.”
Kara''s smile softened. “For this one, may | thank you?”
Diana finally let out augh. “Yes, you may.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“You''re wee, My Sweetheart.”
Once again, Kara and Diana hugged. Their closeness made everyone''s eyes fill with tears.

“Oh, this is very moving.” Emily cupped her chubby cheeks and tilted
her head.
“Yeah, it''s very moving.” Louis wiped his eyes as if there were tears then sniffed as if he had snot in his nose. Frankughed at
his
gesture.
“Buddy, why don’t you and Emily take Grandma in? She must be very tired and sleepy.” Frank ruffled his son''s hair.
Louis chuckled briefly. “That''s right. Grandma should be asleep by now. Come on, Grandma. Let''s go in.” He took Diana''s hand.
Emily also took Diana''s hand. “But before that, Grandma has to get to know Grandma Susan. She’s Mommy''s mother. She''s
knitting inside. We asked her to make a beautiful scarf for Grandma Diana.” She smiled sweetly.
Diana''s eyebrows arched by sincerity. “You guys are very kind. | feel bad for Susan. She’s in trouble because of me.”
Emily shook her head while humming softly. “No, no. I think Grandma Susan would be happy. Let''s go in, Grandma.”
Louis nced behind him. “Abigail,e on in. We can take yo your room after we drop off Grandma.”
Abigailughed softly. “No need. | can share room with Grandma.”
“There are many guest rooms in our house. You and Grandma can have a private room.”
Emily reached out, trying to take Abigail''s hand. “Come on, Abi!"
After smiling at Frank and Kara, Abigail took Emily’s hand. “Okay. Thank you for considering me a special guest.”
“You are special, Abi.”

While the twins led the two guests in, the others followed at a leisurely pace. They smiled at the sight in front of them.
“This is truly an unexpected surprise,” Frank muttered as he put his arm around Kara''s waist.

Smiling amusedly, they followed in. However, when they arrived in the living room, they were amazed. Susan was standing with
her mouth slightly open. Her shaking eyes looked at Diana as if she couldn''t believe it.
“You?” Susan didn''t realize that her index finger had pointed at Diana.
The older woman blinked in surprise “Do | know you?”
Unexpectedly, Susan let out augh while patting her chest. “Do you remember the husband and wife who gave you a ride when
you were looking for a graveyard a long time ago?”
Diana looked up slightly then narrowed her eyes. After a short silence, she gasped. “You''re that young woman? You and your
husband were the ones | stopped in the middle of the road?”
Susan nodded. Her eyes were very bright. “I really didn’t expect that you were my daughter-inw’s grandmother. No wonder |
felt familiar when | saw your picture. It turns out it''s you!”
Diana let out augh. While holding Susan''s hand, she shook her
head faintly.
“This is really hard to believe. | never thought | would meet you again. You know? If it weren''t for you and your husband, | would
have been. lost. But you guys were so kind, waiting for me at the graveyard, even taking me back to the airport.”
Hearing that, Frank raised his hand. “Wait a minute. You two know each other?”
“Not really. We''ve only met once.” Diana turned her head with a happy face. “That was the first time | came back here, to visit
your father’s grave. Since | wasn’t very familiar with the road, | got lost. Your
mother-inw then took me.”
With a smile full of emotion, Diana looked back at Susan.
“It happened so fast. We didn’t even have time to exchange names. But that moment was so imprinted in my memory. Who
would have thought that my grandson would be in love with your daughter? The little girl at that time was Kara, right?”
Susan nodded. “Yes, but she was very young, a little older than Emily. She definitely doesn’t remember.”
Kara''s lips pursed. “Mom and Dad often give people rides. How do remember?” she muttered.
Remembering Kara''s small face, Diana''s heart suddenly ached. She once prayed that the little girl would be happy. Who would
have thought that she would actually torture her when she was an adult?
