บท 207: She Will Never be Alone

Feeling her face warmed up from his intense gaze, Edith tilted her head down to avoid him. She brought her hands to cover her face and found that her face was damp. It was then that she recalled that she had been crying, thinking of how scared she would be if she would suddenly lose her grandfather. 

The thing that frightened Edith the most was to suddenly lose her grandfather, the only family member she had. 

She grew up without a father and her mother passed away when she was eight. Her grandfather was the only person who she knew would love her unconditionally. Though her relationship with her grandfather was not that good at the beginning, she grew up and began to rely on her grandfather a lot. Her grandfather had become her mother, her father as well as her friend. 

He was so old, but he had to fit in so many roles just to raise her.
