Chapter 42
Dillon ended the video call. Then, he stood up and started walking out.
Estelle was tossing and turning in bed when she started hearing footsteps. She sprang up, staring at the door in caution.
Who would bother her at this time?
The knocks on the door didn’t sound hurried.
Could it be Dillon?
After a moment of hesitation, Estelle got up and opened the door.
The door swung open. As expected, Dillon was standing there.
She vigilantly looked at him. “What do you need?
“Here you go,” he muttered. He handed her a packet of medicine before turning away coldly.
Loratadine? Did Dillon notice Estelle had an allergic reaction?
At this point, Estelle couldn’t care less about anything else right now. She really needed to take the medicine, so she wasn’t going to fuss about who bought it.
The next day, Estelle woke up and went downstairs, but Dillon had already left. By the time she fell asleep on the couch late at night, he still hadn’t come back.
When she woke up again, she was already in bed. This happened for the next two days in a row.
Soon, it was the anniversary of Aurora’s passing Estelle hadn’t been home in five years, and she wasn’t sure if Aurora would be mad at her for being a bad daughter when she visited the
cemetery.
Estelle walked downstairs and immediately saw Dillon waiting in the dining room. He was dressed in a black suit, and even his tie was black
He looked respectful, but she wasn’t about to fool herself into thinking he was on her side.
Estelle sat across from Dillon, eating her breakfast with a blank face. When she finished her food, she looked at him, feeling hesitant to speak
He started, “I’ve prepared everything. We can head out to the cemetery immediately.”
Hearing Dillon’s words, Estelle immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She cracked a smile. You’re really thoughtful. Thanks.”

He responded, “Don’t mention it.”
Chaptera,
Estelle didn’t think too much about what Dillon said. She just told him to hurry up and get in
the car.
When they arrived at the cemetery, the Sawfords were already there. Estelle’s arrival didn’t seem to sit well with any of them. In particular, Timothy snapped like he was a ticking bomb.
He glared at Dillon. “Why did you bring her here?
Bobby also jumped in, “You’re no longer part of the Sawford family, you rascal. Why do you show up?”
Estelle looked up and faced Bobby with a blank face. “I’ve severed ties with the Sawford family, but my mom isn’t exactly one of the Sawfords, either, Mr. Bobby. I’m here to pay my respects to her. What does that have to do with your family?”
Bobby was too angry to speak. “You…”
Watching his pathetic look, Estelle rolled her eyes in disdain. Ignoring the Sawfords, she walked straight to Aurora’s grave.
The woman in the picture on the tombstone wore a pink dress and a gentle smile. She was so wonderful, and it was a shame that she left the world so soon.
Before Estelle knew it, her eyes started welling up. If only Aurora had let Rena carry on with the treatment, would things have been different?
Without warning, Timothy stepped forward and kicked the stuff she brought. “Move your things away. Don’t mess with Mom’s grave.”
A hint of anger flashed in Estelle’s eyes before she raised her foot and kicked Timothy on the leg.
Timothy hugged his leg in agony, curling up on the ground.
Sweat poured down his forehead as he snarled at Estelle. “How dare you kick me, Estelle? You’re done for!”
A look of contempt crossed Estelle’s face as she mocked, “What are you going to do about it? Are you going to send some thugs to mess with me again?”
