"Grandma."
Charlotte took a step forward and grasped Jasmine Clarkson's outstretched hand.
"It's enough if Grandma doesn't blame me."
"How could Grandma blame you? I just regret not keeping you with me back then, not protecting you properly, letting you suffer so much."
While speaking, Jasmine Clarkson hugged Charlotte in her arms.
Hearing these words, Charlotte felt a sour sensation surging in her heart.
"Grandma..."
Charlotte's voice was slightly choked, inducing the children nearby to hurry over.
"Mommy, great-grandma, don't be sad," Grace Thompson spoke up.
"Yes, when you're sad, it makes us feel bad too," Hank Thompson nodded.
The other children also gathered around, comforting them with their words.
"Don't be sad."
"Great-grandma should always be happy."
"We will always be with Mommy and great-grandma."
The children's comfort brought a smile to Jasmine Clarkson's face. She turned her head and looked at Charlotte with a slightly reproachful gaze.
