Even if they stood with the basin as punishment, they could not make these children shut up.

Mrs. Walton’s temples throbbed. She gritted her teeth and looked at George and Alex. “What water bed? What rolling around? How do children know this?”

George:

Alex: “…” They were really wronged!

Mrs. Walton: “What did you teach Mia and the others outside every day? I’m old and can’t control you, right? Hurry up and stand there as punishment!” George and Alex: “…” They shouldn’t have asked!

Hence, two tall figures, George and Alex, appeared in the group of children.

The children blinked and looked at Alex and George curiously. How strange. Why were they punished to stand too?

Helena laughed so hard that she almost fainted. Elmer’s lips never stopped twitching.

Seven stood by the window in shock, his little head swaying. “Yes, yes!’

Everyone:

After a tizzy, it finally ended with Mrs. Walton agreeing to buy Amelia a water bed. However, she was afraid that Amelia would catch a cold, so she set a rule that she could only play during the day.

Amelia had learned another principle from this matter: If you did something wrong, you would be punished. It was useless even if Daddy and Eldest Uncle came. The person with the highest status in the family was Grandma. No matter who you provoked, you could not provoke Grandma!

Helena looked at everything in front of her. It was very warm and heartwarming, filled with happiness and joy. Unfortunately, she could no longer participate! Today, the children had just left for the summer vacation. There were less than two months left until the Ghost Festival on the 14th of July. Helena had been hesitating if she should see the old lady again. She wanted to say goodbye, but she was even more afraid that after spending some time with her, the old lady would face separation again. Her life, which had finally calmed down, would stir again.

“Maybe that’s for the best,” Helena murmured. The happier the Waltons were these days, the less she should meet them. That was why she was dragging it out day after day, trying to separate herself from them, and trying to make them stop thinking about her.

At night, Amelia temporarily slept in the same room as Emma. Mrs. Walton came over to see if the two children were asleep. She realized that Emma was already sleeping soundly, but Amelia’s eyes were still open.

Mrs. Walton: “What is Mia thinking about?” She began to regret it. Had she been punished too badly just now? However, she heard Amelia say, “Grandma, will you miss Mommy?” Just now, she saw her mother smile and suddenly look a little disappointed. Amelia knew that her mother was afraid that

Grandma would be sad, so she did not dare to see Grandma. Then would Grandma want to see Mommy again?

Mrs. Walton stroked Walton’s little head and said with great heartache, “Does

Mia miss Mommy? Grandma will miss your Mommy too, but it’s okay. Your

Mommy has always lived in our hearts.”

Amelia looked up at Mrs. Walton. “Grandma, do you want to see Mommy?” Mrs. Walton’s face was kind. She did not say if she wanted to see her or not. She only said, “Go to sleep.” She was already so old. On the day she died, she would never be separated from her daughter again, so it did not matter if she saw her now. More importantly, her Mia had to be well.

Amelia pursed her lips. Her mother was going to reincarnate and no one would be able to see her in the future. However, her mother had only seen Eldest Uncle. Her mother and grandmother seemed to be quite afraid of meeting again… Why was that?

The little Amelia could not understand the complicated emotions of the adults. She gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Beside her, Emma turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Mrs. Walton smiled and tucked the two children in. She adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before going out.

Helena stood in the doorway and couldn’t help but whisper, “Mom…”

Mrs. Walton didn’t see anything, but she had that strange feeling in her heart again. She muttered, “Helena, Mommy knows you’re here. You must be here, right? As long as Mommy knows this, it’s enough.” She didn’t expect to see them again. She just wanted everyone to be fine. Mia was fine, Helena was fine, and all the children were fine. That was enough.

Helena looked at Mrs Walton’s limping back and suddenly understood that seeing each other was only a choice, not a result.

It was as dark as ink outside. The prison at night seemed to be shrouded in an invisible barrier. Elmer checked it several times and frowned. Max was an evil ghost. The reason why an evil ghost could be trapped here… was a little unbelievable..
