Chapter 121
She couldn’t even fulfill her final wish.
Just thinking about it, she couldn’t bring herself to forgive her two older brothers.
Anyone who knew the truth would say they were her brothers-those who didn’t might think they were her enemies, coming to settle old scores.
“Alright, Monday, got it. I’ll go with you and pay my respects to your mother.”
After hanging up, Autumn sniffled and looked up, only to see Keith handing her a tissue.
Their eyes met.
Autumn murmured a thank-you and hastily wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Keith checked his watch, then said, “Your aunt will be coming over soon to take care of you. Don’t worry, she doesn’t know about your condition.”
At the mention of her aunt coming, Autumn’s heart skipped.
She instinctively wanted to say it wasn’t necessary.
But when she turned around, her aunt was already at the door—with her uncle and Zack behind her.

“Autumn, you’ve had such a hard life. Come stay at our place. Let us take care of you.
