Grand Lady Johnson's Worries 5

Grand Lady Johnson went on, "Later, I wanted to strike again, but I realized it was impossible. The old man had died, and so had the eldest son. Frank was still just a boy. Arnold was the only one left to support the Johnson family, and then there's Chloe, who loved him with such infatuation."

"I tried to persuade myself that as long as Arnold married Chloe and treated her well, granting the only wish of Chloe's heart, then I could try to let go of my resentment towards Arnold, but to no avail..."

Alfred placed his hand on top of Grand Lady Johnson's. The two pairs of aged hands held each other tight. Over the years, only Alfred remained by her side, knowing all of her secrets.
