Chapter 3248 Box

“This is your dowry. No matter what kind of life you're living in the future, don’t come backanymore.”

Garret sounded calm while the look in her eyes was dull. The only thing that powered her spirit washer expectation of Mia.

With complicated emotions in her heart, Megan looked at the colorful box, took it over, and openedit.

There were a few pieces of jewelry in the iron box; the design of the necklace and bracelet was veryold-fashioned. The bright yellow color of the jewelry was in stark contrast with the battered thingsaround the house.

“You still keep them.” Looking at the jewelry with mixed feelings, Megan bit her lips to hide heremotion.

The jewelry was the dowry that her father had prepared for her before his passing. Their neighborshad been spreading rumors that Garret did not abandon Megan only because she had pocketed thedowry and felt guilty.

Now that the once-missing jewelry had reappeared, Megan could not help but wrap her handstightly around the box and looked at Garret with soft gaze.

“Thank you.”

It was the first time Megan had thanked Garret in more than ten years. Even she herself found it alittle awkward.

“You don't need to thank me. Just don't come to see me in the future.”

As an uneducated woman, Garret did not understand Megan's feelings, so she waved her hand andturned to walk back into her house after speaking.

Looking at her skinny figure, Megan thought of her ending and felt bad.

Hence, she called out to her and reminded her, “Take care of yourself. You must go to the hospital ifyou feel uncomfortable in the stomach. It's a very serious disease.”

Garret had died of stomach cancer in the past life. Megan was emotional but did not say more asshe did not want to alter others’ destinies.

Looking at Garret with sympathy, she waved her hand and finally left the village that she had livedfor more than ten years.

The village had beautiful scenery, clear water, and blue sky, but the road was rugged. Throughoutthe journey, Jake and Megan barely spoke to each other, seemingly having something on their ownmind.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the eldest daughter of Gertha?” Megan looked at Jakeand teased him as she did not want to dwell on the heavy stuff.

“You're thinking too much. And you talk too much too. After you die, you'll still become ablabbermouth,” replied Jake meanly as he glanced at her in displeasure.

Not really wanting to talk nonsense with him, Megan checked the time on her phone and looked upat the sky before she changed the subject. “I think we'll be there in thirty minutes.”

“It doesn’t bother me. Aren“t you nervous, though?” Jake tried to sound her out.

“Not at all.” It was impossible that she did not panic. It was just that she had not completelyrecovered from what happened at Garret's house earlier.

After seeing that Megan did not feign it, Jake looked away boringly. Then, he stole glances at theiron box that Megan had been holding and got curious.

"You've refused to tell me what it is that you're holding. You still don't want to tell me now, do you?”Jake had been asking about it the whole time, leaving Megan annoyed. Gripping the box tightly inher hand, Megan did not want to open it at all.

"Don't ask. We're almost there. Just mind your own business.”

Then, Megan walked faster to be in front of Jake.

Well, I'm not gonna tell him. I won't put myself in a tight spot.
