Chapter 249


    It''s getting cooler, as if the temperature was dropping every day.


    Although the heating system in the north had always been good, there were many drawbacks. The


    air quality was poor and it seemed to be hard to get a clear blue sky.


    During the lunch break, Wendy often stood at the window and looked out. She felt that the misty sky


    was the same as her mood.


    In recent days, she didn''t have much appetite. Her colleagues helped her to order food. Most of the


    time, she just took a few bites and then put it down.


    The phone rang, and it was from Aunt Emma. She asked her on the phone, "Wendy, I have packed


    up your grandmother''s stuff. Are you taking them back?"


    Wendy thought for a moment, one more day and it''s the weekend, "I''ll take them back."


    On Friday night, she bought a train ticket. After taking a whole night''s train, she returned to the


    countryside again.


    Wendy stood alone in the yard for a long time.


    The shed outside had been demolished on the day of the funeral, and it''s quiet inside and outside of


    the courtyard. She looked at the front door of the house, feeling that her grandmother''s staggering


    figure would step out of the door. There was some noise outside the door, and a slightly fat figure


    walked in.


    Aunt Emma saw that Wendy''s just standing there, lost in thought. She hurried forward and found


    that Wendy''s body was cold. "Wendy, it''s so cold outside. What are you doing standing there? Don''t


    catch a cold. Come on, get in the house!"


    Wendy nodded and followed Aunt Emma into the house.


    How much stuff can an olddy have? Grandma didn''t leave much behind, and it''s all packed up. In


    fact, they were all clothes and things that Grandma usually wore and use. Wendy was just keeping


    them as a reminder of her grandmother.


    She took out a woodenb from her bag, which was one that Grandma used tob her gray


    hair with. Grandma once said that with one littleb, you can brush away all your worries.

    Wendy touched it carefully as if it were a treasure.


    Aunt Emma looked at Wendy and couldn''t help but wipe her eyes. She really felt sorry for Wendy.


    Wendy put the woodenb back into her bag carefully. "Aunt Emma, I''ve been dreaming about


    my grandmother for the past two days and how she smiles at me."


    "You miss her too much!" Aunt Emma sighed.


    "Yes..." Wendy nodded in a trance. "I still don''t want to believe it. Grandma was recovering well.


    Why did she suddenly pass away..."


    Aunt Emma nodded again and again but she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and


    said hesitantly, "Wendy, I''ve been so busy since your grandmother left. There''s something I forgot to


    tell you..."


    "What''s it?" Wendy was puzzled.


    "There was a visitor at noon the day your grandmother died." Aunt Emma recalled and said.


    "Someone''s here? Who?" Wendy was even more puzzled.


    Grandma had no other rtives long ago, and it was always Grandma and Wendy who were


    dependent on each other for so many years.


    "I''m not sure. It seems that she''s also surnamed Lim. She''s dressed beautifully and looks like a


    youngdy from a rich family. I know the bag she''s carrying because I''ve heard my daughter


    mention it before. It''s called Hermes! But thatdy''s temper is not good. I think she''s a spoiled child


    at first nce. It looks like she''s looking at others with her nose..."


    When Wendy heard this, she already had a guess in mind.


    Many of the characteristics Aunt Emma described pointed to one person.


    Ynda?


    Wendy frowned and had a bad feeling. She clenched her hands and asked, "What is she doing


    here?"


    "She must havee to see your grandmother. I don''t know what exactly they talked about


    because I''ve been sent away at that time!" Aunt Emma paused at that point as if she was


    considering Wendy''s reputation, and then hesitantly continued, "When I came back again, I can


    vaguely hear them talking about you. That youngdy called you a shameless mistress, picking up


    random men, and said that you stole someone else''s fiance..."


    "... What did you say?" Wendy felt as if she had been hit in the head.


    Aunt Emma sighed and continued, "Wendy, your grandmother had heart disease, and she couldn''t


    handle emotional fluctuations. When the youngdy left, your grandmother got sick because she''s


    so angry and couldn''t even stand up from the chair in the outer room. I hurried to get her some


    medicine so she could get over it. I just didn''t expect that..."


    Wendy''s eyes went ck, and her ears seemed to be deaf.


    No wonder Grandma passed away so suddenly!


    In the evening, Wendy took her grandmother''s belongings to the train. Although she got the ticket


    temporarily, fortunately, it was not the peak time. And she''s taking the slowest train, so there were


    not many people on it. There were still a lot of empty beds left.


    Shortly after she got in the car, the phone in her bag rang.


    "Hey, Felix..."


    Aftering back from the countryside, Felix had been worried about Wendy. He wanted to call her


    and ask her how she was feeling these days. He also wanted to ask her toe out with him.


    "Wendy, have you had dinner? Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"


    "No, I''ve already had it..." Wendy didn''t lie about it because she''s munching on a loaf of bread


    before getting in the train.


    Just as the train was parked at a small station, the radio rang out.


    "Wendy, you''re not at home?" Felix asked immediately.


    "Well, I went to the countryside to get my grandmother''s belongings. Now I''m on the train back..."


    Wendy looked out of the window and saw that the train had already entered the tform.


    Felix seemed to pause for a moment and asked, "Wendy, are you alone?"


    "Yes..." Wendy whispered, and she could hear the surprise in his voice.


    She didn''t want to exin anything more. She raised her hand and pressed her painful temple.


    "Felix, I''m a little tired. I want to lie down and get some rest. I''ll call you..."


    After hanging up the phone, although she was lying on the sleeper, she couldn''t sleep.


    For the whole night, she kept her eyes open, and every time she turned over, her hands were


    always clenched into fists.


    The next day, when it was almost noon, the train slowly entered the station. The moment Wendy got


    off the train, she immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. Then she pursed her


    lips and questioned, "Ynda, where are you?"


    "Wendy, are you mad? Flow dare you talk to me like this?" Ynda shouted unhappily, as if she had


    always been used to bullying her. When she spoke again, she was still arrogant. "You have no right


    to question me! I don''t need to tell you where I am?"


    "I''m asking you, where are you?" Wendy gritted her teeth and almost roared out.


    Ynda seemed to be shocked by Wendy''s tone, she paused for two seconds. Soon she snorted


    and said impatiently, "I am in a very popr restaurant on the Friendship Road. What''s wrong?"


    After hanging up the phone, Wendy quickly walked out with the crowd.


    Wendy knew the restaurant Ynda mentioned. It was near Hogg''s Group Building. Wendy used to


    have lunch with Charlie at that restaurant twice when Charlie drove to her at noon.
