Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Death Anniversary

Madalyn stood in front of two tombstones with a sad face. They were the tombstones of her son and daughter-in-law, whom she had not visited during the years she was in a coma. Gilbert did not even know these two tombstones existed and was even less likely to visit them. In the past few years, only George had paid visits and cleaned them up a bit. Madalyn looked at the two bright, young, smiling faces in the photos, which were embedded in the tombstones, her heart full of sorrow. She could never forget that day, the car accident that brought her grief and despair. She bent forward slightly, her hands trembling as she wiped the photos on the tombstones. When she spoke, her frail voice was choked with grief.

"I'm sorry. It took so long for me to come to see you two."

Madalyn's hunched back looked frail in the chilly wind. George held the umbrella with one hand and gently supported her with the other. The few black umbrellas looked particularly mournful in the cemetery. Madalyn cried for a long time before forcing a smile.

"It has been a long time since I came to see you two, but I have a surprise for you this time," Madalyn said and brought Andrew and Ada in front of the tombstones. Andrew and Ada wore raincoats and rain hats so they did not get wet. The two children looked at the two tombstones in confusion, not quite understanding what this was all about.

"Damon, Cynthia, look, these are your grandchildren, Gilbert's children. Take a good look. They look so much like Gilbert," Madalyn said, but her tears could not stop falling down. "If you two were still alive, you would have seen them. They are really wonderful children. You two will love them." She was so sad that she could not stop sobbing at the end of her sentence.

Andrew tugged at the corner of her coat and whispered, "Grandma, don't cry, or they will be upset."

"Ya, Grandma. We will behave ourselves. Don't you cry."

Madalyn stroked their heads, looked at the photos on the tombstones, and said, " They are your grandparents."

"Grandparents?" Confusion filled Andrew's little face.

"They are our grandparents? Why did Daddy never mention them to us?" Ada asked in puzzlement.

Madalyn did not know how to answer this question. Because of Gilbert's mental trauma, she never once mentioned his parents in front of him. 'Everyone has parents, but Gilbert grew up never asking about his parents, not even mentioning them. Perhaps he shuts himself from everything about his parents. He has not once visited their grave all these years.' Thinking of this, she just could not stop feeling sad, and all this was because of that woman and that woman's daughter. So, she would never let that woman's daughter be with Gilbert.

She patted Andrew and Ada on their heads and said, "You two will get the answer when you grow up. Listen to me; say hello to them, as they like you two very much."

Andrew and Ada nodded and said, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma."

Madalyn looked at the photos on the headstones, tears blurring her eyes. She felt as if her son and daughter-in-law were smiling now, and they must love their grandchildren very much. As she left the cemetery, she spoke again to Andrew and Ada.
