Chapter 399:
Stella found her grandmother's ward. When she knocked on the door and entered, her grandmother, Grace, was
eating an apple. Hearing the knock, Grace turned around and saw her granddaughter, and the joy on her face
was evident.
Stella remembered that she had learned about her uncle in the hospital back then, but she had never told her
grandmother about it. This time, she needed to ask her grandmother what kind of person her uncle was.
“Grandma, | haven't seen you in a long time. Are you angry?” As Stella spoke, she walked into the ward and sat
in front of her grandmother's bed.
“How could | be? | heard from RK that something happened to you a few days ago. Is everything settled now?”
Why did RK tell her grandmother everything?
“No, it's just a small matter. It's not a big deal.”
As Stella spoke, she picked up the apple on the table. “Grandma, letpeel this apple for you.” Grace nodded
with a smile.
“A few days ago, RK cto seeand tolda lot of things.” Grace smiled, and Stella let her speak. After
listening for a while, she handed her grandmother the peeled apple.
“Grandma, do | have an uncle?” Stella suddenly asked, and Grace dropped the apple onto the quilt in surprise.

“How... How did you know?” Grace was shocked. Stella observed her grandmother closely and noticed sadness
mixed with shock in her expression. “Did your father tell you?”
“Grandma, | want to know about my uncle,” Stella said, looking at Grace with determination.
“Well, you shouldn't know about these things.” Grandma sighed and set the apple on the table. “You shouldn't
worry about them.”

“Grandma, just tell me. | want to know.”
“Back then, your uncle had a very good relationship with your mother. He was very dependent on her. When they
were in high school, he insisted on keeping an eye on her. Your grandfather and | didn’t want them to be in the
sschool, as we felt it wouldn't be good for your uncle’s character.
Who knew your uncle would lose his temper? No matter who tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. In the
end, we had no choice but to let them go to the sschool.”
Grace looked up at the ceiling, trying hard to hold back her tears. “We later regretted that decision very much.”
“Your uncle fell in love with a girl named Isabella, who is now your stepmother, David's wife. Too many accidents
happened afterward. Your uncle left the country in anger and never returned. | haven't seen him for so many
years.” Grace choked on her sobs as she spoke.
“Grandma, uncle may...”
Was she going to tell her grandmother that her uncle might be back? However, if Vincent had already returned,
why didn’t he cto visit his mother? If Grace found out, wouldn't she be even more upset?
“Grandma, uncle might... He might be back.” Stella decided that instead of hiding the matter, she might as well
tell her grandmother the truth, thinking that the latter would find out sooner or later.
“What?”
Grace was shocked, her face full of astonishment. “Grandma, has anyone sent you anything recently?”
Since Vincent was back, it was impossible for him not to send something to his mother.
“Yes, someone sent a lot of nutritional products and various items, but | thought they were sent by you. How
could it be Vincent?”
Grace's hands trembled, and it seemed she was in great shock.
“Grandma, don’t be agitated. Since uncle has sent you so many things, it means that he will certainly cto
see you. It’s just a matter of time.” Stella saw how agitated and excited her grandmother was, so she quickly
comforted her. “The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health and wait for uncle to visit.”

your mother and is willing to return, it’s good...”
“Grandma, don’t be sad. Eat the apple quickly.”
As Stella spoke, she handed the apple to Grace, who took it with trembling hands and brought it to her mouth to
eat. “By the way, look at this.”
As Grace spoke, she took something out from under the pillow and handed it to Stella.
Stella reached out and took an old black-and-white photo. In the photo, a boy was sitting there, looking spirited,
smiling naughtily at the camera. “Is this... uncle?”
Stella examined the photo carefully.
The photo was very old, as if it had been handled countless times. Stella knew that it must be her grandmother
who took it out and looked at it when she missed her uncle. Grace must have touched her son’s young face with
her old, frail fingers.
Grace missed her son so much. Why hadn't he cto see her?
Stella handed the photo back to her grandmother.
“Well, let's not talk about your uncle. Let's talk about you.” After a long time, Grace calmed down and put away
the photo. “I think that RK is a trustworthy man. He toldabout his former girlfriend yesterday.”
His former girlfriend? Who was she? How cStella didn’t know about it?
