To her, Old Madam's sudden departure was utterly unexpected.
Even after rushing around all day with the Li Family to handle the funeral preparations, she still couldn't quite accept the fact that Old Madam was gone. Everything felt like an unreal dream, as if it could all start over.
"Grandma..."
Her crimson lips slightly parted as Xiaye whispered softly into the air, with a lingering tone that conveyed indescribable sorrow.
Years had passed, yet she vividly remembered the first time she met Old Madam Li.
That year she was eighteen, and outside of school, she worked part-time at a rehabilitation center.
Perhaps because of the working environment, one day, a community charity group came to the center to promote their cause. They shared many stories about mutual aid and after thoughtful consideration, she signed her name on a volunteer form.
