Chapter 2041: Love, Not Regret

His eyes narrowed at her words. "Which one?"

"Your adoptive mother, of course," his grandmother calmly replied, facing him head-on. "She didn't so much as flinch when I warned her of her impending death."

Rui's eyes widened with shock. "…What?"

"Now there was a woman who understood who she was." Matriarch Nephi ignored his incredulity. "When she learned of her impending death, she made sure that when the time came, she could rest without any regrets."

Rui stared at his grandmother in shock. "…You foresaw my mother's death?"

"Of course, I periodically employ prophecy on the orphanage, just in case," she replied. "When I foresaw her natural death and informed her, she worked hard in the next two years to ensure that neither she nor the ones she loved would suffer from regret when it came to pass."

Rui stared at her, speechless.
