Xander hugged her, wanting to tell her that it was not a dream, but he just could not. 'Maybe it's good to let her be happy a little longer,' he thought.Abigail lifted her head from his chest. "No, I gotta go see Grandma. I won't be okay until I know she's safe."Xander held her tightly, not wanting to let go. "Don't go, Abigail."Abigail gave him a sweet smile and leaned over to kiss his cheek. "I'm just going to check on Grandma to make sure she's okay. I'll come right back to bed with you. Don't worry."Xander would not let go. "Abigail..."Abigail raised her hand, pinched Xander's face, and gently rubbed his forehead to calm him down. "Tell me, what are you worried about? We're husband and wife. We must talk about things. We can't keep secrets."Abigail's calm response scared Xander even more. He was worried. He knew that she would find out that her grandmother had passed away even if he did not tell her. It was not just a dream. He thought it would be better if he told her

"What are you guys talking about? I don't understand a word!" Abigail exclaimed, looking at her two best friends in front of her. They had grown up together, but now their faces seemed so strange that she felt like she did not even recognize them.Melody took a step forward, wanting to hug Abigail, but Abigail quickly backed away, avoiding them as though they were venomous snakes or wild beasts. "You're not Mel and Fee. They wouldn't say bad things about my grandma," Abigail said, with her eyes wide and a look of mistrust and fear on her face. "Tell the truth, who are you really? Why are you pretending to be my best friends?""Caterpie, we really are Mel and Fee..." Melody and Felix, seeing Abigail acting like this, were very worried. Melody quickly tried to calm her down, saying, "Okay, we won't talk about it anymore. If you don't want to hear it, we won't say it." Right now, their main concern was calming her down."No. You're not Mel and Fee. Tell the truth, who are you really?"

Abigail grew up without parents, and when she was in elementary school, she often got picked on by other kids. Melody and Felix knew all about this. Little Abigail was too small to fight back. When others hit her, she would say the same thing she was saying now: her grandmother would protect her. But some bullies would not back down just because of her words. When the mean kids heard she wanted to tell her grandmother, they would tease her even more. They would not even let her go home to complain. Thankfully, her grandmother noticed something was wrong and found out about Abigail's situation at school. She talked to the teachers, and Abigail was not bullied again.In Abigail's heart, even though her grandmother was old now and might not do things as well as she could, her grandmother was still her hero, her superhero who could protect her and shield her from anything. No one could ever replace her grandmother as the superhero in her heart.Everyone knew how important Abigail's grand

Cassandra was lying peacefully in bed, with makeup on her face, looking as if she were asleep. She was not breathing. If not for that, people would not know she had passed away. Abigail looked up, silently staring at Cassandra. No one knew what she was thinking.Felix, standing beside her, said, "Caterpie, open your eyes wide and remember how Grandma looks. You won't see her again."Melody nudged Felix and whispered, "Fee, don't say that. Don't push Caterpie too hard. Give her some time to cope."But Felix was relentless, wanting to help Abigail understand what happened. "Caterpie, your grandma always wanted you to be brave and strong. In her eyes, you've always been strong. But look at you now; you don't even have the courage to face what's happened. You're acting afraid. If Grandma knew you were this weak, she would be really disappointed.""You all leave. I want to talk to Grandma alone," Abigail suddenly said, her voice flat and calm. She seemed totally different from how she h

Abigail did not respond, but Xander knew she had heard him. After telling her what she needed to do, he left Cassandra's room and gently closed the door behind him. Outside, he found Melody and Felix eavesdropping at the door, reminding him of how Abigail would sometimes act."Go wait in the living room. Don't eavesdrop here," Xander said.Melody protested, "Leaving Caterpie alone in there, we're just not comfortable."Xander replied, "Trust her."Melody and Felix wanted to stay, but seeing Xander's confidence, they followed him out.After Xander left, Abigail approached Cassandra, carefully holding her hand. "Grandma..." She started to cry just from saying that word. Her heart felt empty, and it hurt so much that she had trouble breathing for a moment. She took some time to catch her breath before continuing, "I haven't talked with you for so long. Today, I'll stay with you, and we'll chat."Cassandra's hand was cold and stiff, but Abigail still brought it to her face and rubbed

"You think that thing made a huge mark on my life, like a stain. But thinking that way is wrong. We're the ones who were hurt. Why should someone else's mistake be something bad about me? I used to be scared just like you, afraid people would talk about me, look at me in a mean way. Then I met Xander. He told me that we shouldn't feel bad. The people who did wrong should be the ones to get in trouble." Abigail kept talking about Xander. "I know you think Xander would make a great husband. He's rich and powerful, and he's good-looking too. It's hard to find someone like him. I promise to cherish him. But what matters most is that Xander is really nice. Sometimes, he's so nice that it doesn't seem real. He just told me he'll always be with me. But I'm scared to believe him. I'm scared that if I do, he'll leave me one day, suddenly not wanting me, just like you did."Abigail thought that hoping for something could lead to disappointment. If she did not hope, she would not be let down. Ri

Felix was pacing back and forth in the living room, clearly worried. Finally, he glared at Xander, but as soon as he met Xander's stern gaze, he calmed down. "Mr. Zane..." he began.Xander glanced at him lazily. "Speak up," he said.Felix gathered his courage again. "Caterpie has been alone for over two hours. Shouldn't we check on her? What if something happens? You'd feel terrible, wouldn't you?"Melody nodded vigorously. "Yes! If Caterpie does something reckless, we'll feel guilty for the rest of our lives."Compared to Felix and Melody, who were really worried, Xander was calm. "You've known her since you were kids; you should understand her better than I do. Abigail is a strong woman. Once she gets through this tough time, she'll be able to handle anything.""Strong?" Felix scoffed. "How much more do you want her to be strong?" Xander raised an eyebrow at Felix but said nothing. Felix continued, his voice softening, "When she was a little girl, her dad left her. She had to gr

People often said that home was the best place to be. After moving to Florivera, Cassandra never talked to Abigail about going back to North Florivera, but Abigail could feel that her grandmother missed it. She knew she had to take her grandmother's ashes back to North Florivera to bury her with her grandfather and father, so they could all be together again in a special place.Margaret did not want to let go of her dear friend and thought it was proper to keep the body at home for a few days, like people used to do a long time ago. But she still respected Abigail's wishes. "Alright, we'll do as you say," she agreed."Thank you, Grandma," said Abigail.Margaret reached out and ruffled Abigail's hair. "Remember what your grandma told you, Abigail. From now on, Essy, Xander, and I are your family."Esther came forward and hugged Abigail tightly. "I'll protect you and be with you from now on. I won't let anyone be mean to you."Susanna said, "And me too. I'm about the same age as you
