‘There were only a few large trees shading it. It looked plain and unkempt, with weeds growing all over and no one looking after it.

The grave looked like no one had come to pay their respects.

However, her father, who had once loved her the most, was there!

He had been lying there alone for more than ten years. She had never gone to pay her respects to him because John would not allow it.
“What are you still standing around? We are leaving.”

The cemetery was cold and dark, giving Waverly goosebumps. She felt extremely uncomfortable staying there.

She saw that Kathleen was taking her time, so she pushed her into the car.

Kathleen almost fell, but she had not cared. She continued to look through the car window at the barren mountain in the west until it disappeared from her sight.
John’s deep gaze fell upon Kathleen in silence for a long time.

It was afternoon by the time they got home. The butler, Barkley, ordered the cook to make lunch and put it on the table.

Kathleen had no appetite. She ate a little and went upstairs.

John went into the study and opened the window.

Outside the window, the wind was chilling, and the snow was falling. From his position, he could see the Gate of Lambert’s residence.
After a while, a slender and petite figure walked out of the villa.

Barkley stood behind John and said in a low voice, “Young master, Ms. Yates has gone out. Do you want to send someone to follow her?”
John snorted. “No, she’s grown up. Let her go and visit her father!”

“Yes!” Barkley nodded his head in agreement and respectfully left.

John looked at the empty world outside the window. His black eyes flickered with complicated emotions.

He stretched out his hand and looked at the snowflakes that flew in from outside the window. His red lips curled up into a mocking smile.
Kathleen, this girl whom he had raised by his side since young…had grown up!

After Kathleen left the villa, she bought many things and headed straight for her father’s grave.

The sky gradually darkened at dusk. The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the horizon red.

Kathleen walked alone in this lonely grave, but she was not afraid.

She took the flowers and found her father’s grave.

The surroundings were full of weed, almost covering up the grave of Luther Yates. It was because no one had paid any attention to it.
Seeing this, Kathleen’s heart was filled with grief. She instantly recalled all the things she had done with Luther.

“Your birthday is coming soon, right? Daddy will buy you many, many presents!”

“There’s your favorite teddy bear and your favorite cream cake.”

“There’s also little strawberries and lollipops!”

“Kathy, I found you a husband. You won’t be afraid of hardship in the future. When you grow up and marry into the Reeves family, you’ll be able to enjoy life.”
“Kathy, I love you. You’ll always be the little princess to me!”

“Kathy, don’t cry. Daddy’s only regret is that he won’t be able to protect you anymore!”

Even before he died, Luther still cared about his daughter.

She stood in front of Luther’grave. Her red lips were tightly pursed, and her face was filled with sorrow.

She used to be stubborn and would not cry even if she was wronged.

At this moment, she could not hold it in any longer. She immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Crystal-clear tears fell on her cheeks. Her face was as pale as paper.

“Tm sorry, Father. I’m late!”

Kathleen knelt on the grave and pulled at the weeds on her father’s grave with all her might.

One by one, her fingernails dug into the soil. Soon, she was bleeding.

However, Kathleen still had not felt anything. She numbly pulled at the weeds in front of her as if this would make her heart feel better.

Right at this moment, two men appeared behind Kathleen. “Stop pulling. We’re here!”

The two men quickly helped Kathleen up, their eyes filled with heartache.

Kathleen dried her tears and looked at the two of them. “Pull up all the weed…”

“Yes, order us to do it. Why bother to do such a thing yourself? We are here!”

‘As the two men spoke, they began to pull out the weeds on Luther’s grave.

After some time, a man wiped the sweat off his head, looked up at Kathleen, and said, “When was the last time you visited your father’s grave? How come there’s so much grass?”
“Never!” Kathleen had never visited Luther’s grave because of John’s obstruction.

The two brothers glanced at Kathleen and sighed, “It’s not that I want to question your choices, but why did you stay with John?”

“Look at what kind of woman he has by his side. His cousin, Waverly, nagged all day long. It’s so annoying!”

“There’s also that sl*t, Sherri. She wants nothing more than to tear you into pieces!”

“With such a person around you, can we rest easy?” There was a reason why they kept close eyes on Kathleen. They were really afraid that something would happen to her.
Kathleen looked at the two of them pulling up the weed and said indifferently, “Don’t overthink it. I’m Fine!”

“Sigh, in any case, just because you do not want to hurt others doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want to hurt you!”

Jimmy and Alex looked at each other and sighed. “Anyway, when we’re not by your side, you have to be more careful. You must not be harmed by them!”

“IT know!”

“It’s good that you know. We’re also worried about you!” Jimmy and Alex were worried about Kathleen as they continued to pull out the weeds.

The graveyard was left unattended for a long time, and it was almost covered with weeds. The two of them took more than half an hour to pull it out.

After pulling it out, Jimmy and Alex sat tiredly on the ground and rested.

Kathleen looked at the empty space in front of the cemetery, took out the flowers that she had bought, and planted it in front of the grave. Jimmy and Alex looked at the space in front of the cemetery.
The sky darkened and the night came. Even the wind was a few degrees colder.

She stood in front of the cemetery and quietly planted the flowers. Under the dim light, her small face looked a little sad.

Eleven years had passed. She had visited the grave of John’s parents every year, but this was the first time she had visited the grave of her own father, Luther Yates.

The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, falling on the graves one after another.

At night, the forest was howling incessantly. The wind blew through the trees, making them rustle. There was actually an indescribable chill.

Jimmy crossed his arms as his whole body trembled. “Let’s go. This place is eerie and scary.”

Kathleen said indifferently, “You guys go ahead. Don’t appear in front of me in the future.”

Alex patted his chest and said, “When school reopens, Jimmy and I will go to Hillford University to study and to protect you.”

Kathleen finished planting the flowers, stood up, and said, “There’s no need”

Jimmy, who was at the side, immediately said, “Just let Alex and I go. It’s easy for us to go to get into Hillford University…”

Kathleen took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at the two of them. “You guys can go. I don’t need your protection. Also, try your best not to appear in the future,” Kathleen said
‘The darker the sky, the colder the place became. The wind blew, giving the two of them goosebumps all over their bodies.

“It’s so cold here, and it’s a graveyard. Aren’t you afraid?!”
