Chapter 827 Blame and Abuse

Madam Luo frowned. "Now that I think about it… even Lilian could walk through walls." She gasped. "Do you think Lilian… is also a ghost? But that is not possible! How could that be?"

Even Lily turned silent at her words. What did she mean by even Lilian could walk through walls? Did this mean that Lilian knew about Victor and the secret doors?

"Well… I think this is enough conversation, right grandmother?" Claude said. "Lilian can't be a ghost." In Claude's mind, there was no way that his grandmother was telling the truth. He guessed that she was only telling them something from a movie or a tv series that she had seen in the past.

Claude remembered how his mother had told him that soon, his grandmother's condition would worsen and she would not be able to recognize him. At first, he found it hard to believe such things. However, how could he stop something that was a part of the natural process? He sighed inwardly.

It seemed that seeing Prince Fredrick's grandchildren had worsened her condition. 

"Oh, right…" Madam Luo smiled. "That is simply not possible. Lilian is not a ghost." She frowned. "But I was sure that I saw her… with…"

"Grandmother it's alright." Claude slowly stroked his grandmother's back. "Why don't I sing a lullaby so you can rest in your room?"

"Really?" Madam Luo's eyes brightened before she laughed. "Anyway… All I wanted to say is —" she turned her head towards Lily. "You don't know Lilian as much as I do. And if you are sane… you would do better by staying away from her. She is a very dangerous woman." Another gasp escaped her lips. "Don't look at me like that? I am not jealous of her! Why would you think that I envy someone like her? Her life is very complicated. I would not want to get involved with her!"

"Involve?"

"People who… get involved with her die." Madam Luo gave a mysterious smile. "Why do you think she died alone?"

Lily's face turned serious. Maybe Madam Luo's voice would sound crazy to anyone, but not to her. As someone who had lived with her grandmother, she knew that Lilian could be very dangerous if she wanted to. However, she had not seen her get involved in the black market or illegal activities before.

But then she realized that at that time, her focus was on the business and her recovery. It's not like she was following her grandmother every day. For some reason, she felt that Madam Luo's words completely made sense. However, her memories had become so muddled that she could not recall the right things.

Still, she might have been talking about symbolism of the things that she saw when she was stalking Lilian.

"Oh… wait… don't tell me that you are one of Lilian's enemies too?" Madam Luo laughed. "Are you perhaps… looking to kill her?" She lowered her voice. "What about her husband?"

"Alright, grandmother… you really should rest now." Claude frowned. He could not understand why his grandmother had become like this, but in his mind, it should have something to do with what happened when she was gone. He turned towards Lily. "Would you mind waiting for me? I will let her take her afternoon nap."

"Sure!" Lily said. "Absolutely!"

Seeing Lily's fake enthusiasm, Claude's face darkened before he helped her grandmother up.

"But… we are not yet done talking. Claude… how could you be so disrespectful?"

Lily and Qin Yuanfeng could hear Madam Luo scold her grandson on the way to the second floor of the house.

......…

"You are thinking something is weird?" Qin Yuanfeng said when Madam Luo and her grandson left. "Look… I know I don't have the right to say anything since… I— I don't know Lilian and her husband personally but I think that Madam Luo might be faking it."

"I think so too." Lily nodded without batting an eyelid. To be honest, she thought that it was either Madam Luo faking it or she was really insane. However, she wasn't sure about this either. After all, she was not a medical expert and she couldn't just diagnose a patient just because she wanted to.

In Lily's mind, some of Madam Luo's actions did not add up. But… Why would she act like a crazy woman? What was she afraid of? It's not like Lily was aware of the things that she did to Lilian. Did Madam Luo think that Lily was here for revenge?

But why would Madam Luo fake it to everyone? Eliza said that she had been like this for more than a year now. But she was an old woman, so everyone completely understood this. So… why would she fool them for more than a year now?

Unless…

Lily gulped. It is also almost two years since her grandmother passed. If one would calculate the time… was it possible that Madam Luo's condition started just after Lilian's death? It was as if a shiver ran through Lily's spine. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, Lily looked at the pond a few meters away from her.

Her ability to overthink things is just too overwhelming sometimes. She laughed at her own thoughts.

"What did you tell her when I was gone?" Claude's voice took her out of her stupor? Qin Yuanfeng and Lily glanced at him before both shrugged. "What is that supposed to mean?" This immediately irritated Claude.

To his surprise, the twins shrugged again.

"You already know that she is like this because of your grandfather and yet, you still dared to provoke her!"

"Why would you blame our grandfather for what happened? That was like fifty years ago? Did he tell your grandmother not to marry someone?" Qin Yuanfeng blurted out. "This is what happens if someone would not own up to their mistakes! Instead, they blame everyone around them!" Disgust flashed in his eyes. For some reason, Claude's words made him so angry. It reminded him of his own tragic past that was full of blame and abuse.
