My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 14

to the cemetery. It was located at the most rural suburbs in Sea City, and it took Adina more than an hour to reach it. Right after she got out of the car, she saw Dew walking toward her in a long, black dress. “Adina, you’re finally here…” The sad look on Dew’s face was absolutely fake in Adina’s eyes. She pursed her lips and said coldly, “Lead the way.” “Did you come alone, Adina?” Dew asked slowly. “Who else would have come with me?” Adina retorted coldly. After leaving Sea City for four years, she had lost all of her old connections. The only person who still wanted to protect her was her grandmother, but there was no way she would ask her grandmother to come to this place to be sad. Dew hid the scheming look in her eyes perfectly and sighed. “Oh, Adina. We really thought you were dead, which is why we also erected a tombstone for you. It’s right beside your twins’ tombstone.

She turned to the side and said in a hushed voice, “Based on the rules of Sea City, premature babies are not allowed to be buried in the cemetery, but Dad pulled some strings and got the twins a good place. It’s in the corner over there. Let’s go over, Adina.” She walked there first, and Adina followed her with a cold expression. They went to a secluded area. The corner Dew led them to was covered in weeds, and with just a single glance, Adina knew that no one regularly visited it. But Dew just kept on walking forward, away from the main area of the cemetery. “Stop.” Adina stopped, and her eyes shone with an icy light. “Where are you taking me?” Dew turned around with a smile. “To visit the twins,
