"Don't act so pitiful girl. Fine, visit your uncle and leave" Elena said in small cold tone. But it has small trace of sympathy.
'It is not only me who lost a sibling. Her loss is even more painful. She lost her parents at small age and stood all the way by herself tolerating Vanessa and her daughter's attitude. She lost all the love and caring from us all in sudden. Though we tried to chase her away from family so at least she can start her own life away from her uncle family's torment she still sticked to family sentiment and worked in company though she can find far better job. I wish I can forgive her. But I couldn't do that, whenever I think about that day hate engulf my love for my niece.' Elena thought to herself with pained expression.
" Elena try to forgive your niece. Who want their own parents to die given to feeling how much she loved her parents then, she suffered enough. My little granddaughter all alone in this cruel world. I just hope she is not the one who called that day. I want her back, see how she is suffering now with money and everything though she can get it easily. Please…." Jean's grandmother trailed off not able to control her emotions.
"Mother I loved her so much, she in after all my niece what made you think I will not forgive her. But not now may be later. I hoped that she will leave company after graduating from best university and start decent life so I can forget the opportunity to forgive her. The way she clings to us is making me feel guilty for not having big heart like her ." Elena said emotionally.
Only mother and daughter pair know how much they misses her and feel pained to see her in that condition. They thought others wont approve their emotion towards Jean. How ever they don't know that her father feels same to towards her niece.
" Elena can you make sure she lives her life luxuriously. I listened from Vanessa that my poor granddaughter is working so hard to buy a house. My poor baby… I am sorry your granny cant help you against all these cold hearts…" She cried calmly yet it is so emotional.
Listening to her Mom's turmoil her heart twisted. Yes, cold hearted. At least she have to act like that in front of Vanessa and her daughter. Vanessa's family has connections to darker society so if they show their real feelings toward Jean it will be threat to her life.
They even had a suspicion that accident was done with help of Vanessa's family. But evidence is strong enough yet she feels something is fishy. She want someone to prove the truth because she is not compared to Vanessa's dark background.
" Yes, mom I will take care of that don't worry." Elena said slowly. Jean got her college loan with help of Elena and no one knows that. She thought to pay it back behalf of her niece but later she got to know that Jean paid total amount back, that to when she is still in her college.
Elena knows Jean capacity. She has someone to report Jean's condition to her, but she gave privacy to her niece personal life.
" I am going. Thank you for allowing me to see my uncle." Jean said in middle of her sobs. She is oblivious of her Aunt and grandmothers feelings.
"Ok, go now. you may see your uncle from time to time but not too often. Don't bother him much" Elena said in void tone. As Vanessa and her daughter are not too far from Jean they will eavesdrop for sure. She don't want to cause problems for her poor niece.
"Thank you." Jean waited hoping they will talk to her. But seeing that they have no intentions to talk she left broken hearted.
