When I was little, I had seen Grandma in her prime-commanding, decisive, and full of authority. She was even more formidable than Grandpa. With her guidance, the Sanders experienced a meteoric rise.

She was strict with the family, especially my father, who wasn't particularly gifted Grandma worked tirelessly to support him, teaching him everything she knew to ensure he succeeded. Grandpa was weak, and my mother, though loud and boisterous on the surface, was a naïve and sweet woman at heart.

My Two brothers inherited the most ordinary traits from our parents-neither could be called exceptionally talented.

After Grandma grew old, the Sanders family began its gradual decline.

Grandma often said that men should bear responsibility, and she was especially harsh with my brothers. In contrast, she was always kind to me and Anna.

After Anna was swept away in the flood, Grandma's kindness toward me only deepened.

When Anna first came back, Grandma genuinely wanted to make amends.

But she

quickly as easy to deceive as our parents. After witnessing Anna's tricks a few times, Grandma

quickly saw through her and even warned Anna and the rest of the family.

Unfortunately, it was as if Anna had cast a spell on everyone. No one listened to Grandma.

Seeing Grandma cry like a child, I knew that her grief would be even more overwhelming if her body weren't so weak.

I comforted her over and over again, telling her that I couldn't move on to reincarnation if I couldn't stop worrying about her. Otherwise, I'd remain a lonely, wandering ghost forever. Grandma still felt sorry for me. Hearing my exaggerated claim, she finally stopped crying.

Her nose was red from sobbing, and her eyes were rimmed with redness, making her look heartbreakingly pitiful

The others noticed Grandma's gaze fixed in my direction.

My mom found it odd and she commented, "Penelope's nerves must be acting up again. Or is she hallucinating? There's no one there-why is she staring at the windowsill?" "It must be the nice weather, my dad suggested patiently.

"Mom probably wants to bask in the sun.

He leaned closer and comforted her. "Mom, once you're feeling a bit stronger, I'll take you outside to get

some fresh air."

Grandma desperately wanted to tell him about me. He face contorted in frustration, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't form a single word.

Seeing Anna watching her intently, I quickly tried to calin Grandma.

"Grandma, don't act rashly. If you suddenly start talking. Anna will kill you! And if you die, no one will ever uncover the truth about my death."

Grandma's emotions slowly settled as she stared at me Her eyes were brimming with tears once again.

"Grandma, after I died. I wandered the mortal world for a long time. My body has been dismembered, and no one knows I'm gone. You're the only one who can see me, so you have to live on. Grandma blinked twice at me as it was her only way of responding.

My mom, noticing how exhausted my dad looked, urged him to

go rest.

Anna seized the opportunity. "Mom, you stayed up all night at the hospital with Grandma, and Luke's busy with his work. Why don't I stay tonight to look after her?"

My heart was immediately filled with dread.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Grandma, now calmer, also showed a flicker of panic in her eyes.

If my mom hadn't arrived early last time, Anna might have already pushed Grandma to her death.

If everyone left. Anna could easily make her move.

Neither Grandma nor I could say anything to change their minds, and my mom had no reason to doubt Anna's words. Instead, she was more concerned about Anna's health,

"Your heart isn't in good condition. You can't stay up all night."

"Mom, there are nurses here. I'll rest for a bit and keep an eye on Grandma later."

"No, that won't do. It's too hard for you to stay here alone. I'll have Luke hire two caregivers to take turns looking after Grandma."

Although my dad's suggestion stemmed from concern for Anna, it was exactly what I wanted to hear. No matter how much Anna protested, my parents insisted, using her health as an excuse. Anna had no choice but to agree.

The caregivers arrived quickly, and the rest of the family went back to the Sander residence. When the caregivers stepped out to get some medicine, Anna slowly approached Grandma.

I stood in front of Grandma, but Anna walked right through me, inching closer to her.

Grandma's eyelids twitched wildly, and her eyes filled with nervousness and fear.

Anna smirked as she was clearly pleased with Grandma's reaction. "What's wrong, old hag? Scared? Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to finish you off here."

Her tone turned mocking as she whispered in Grandma's car. "Besides, it' I wanted you dead, I have a

hundred ways to do it without dirtying my own hands. Why would I take the riskiest route? And honestly. seeing you like this brings me more joy than killing you outright. I'm not in any rush to end this." Leaning closer, Anna added softly with hatred, "I want you to wish that you were dead!"

Grandma's eyes mirrored my own confusion. Why did Anna hate her so much?

Was it just because Grandma had spoken well of me a few times? Or because she planned to leave shares of the company to me!

These were just material possessions-was that really enough to inspire such overwhelming hatred?

"Ms. Anna, it's getting late. Would you like to rest? I can keep an eye on the Old Madam, Mrs. Lambert said as she entered with some food.

Tve served the Old Madam for decades. No one understands her habits better than I do.

"Thank you, Anna replied, putting on her usual facade of politeness.

Mrs. Lambert handed the food to the caregiver. "I've prepared plenty. Ms. Anna, you should eat something. Old Madam's condition won't improve overnight. You need to take care of yourself too "Alright, I'll rest next door for a while. By the way, I noticed Grandma seems to enjoy reading the Bible, so I brought it. Maybe it'll help the blessed virgin statue protect her and speed up her recovery." Anna pulled out the human-skin Bible and placed it on Grandma's pillow,

At first, I was surprised I could stay here. It turned out Anna had unknowingly created the perfect conditions for me by leaving the book nearby.

Grandma already knew the book was made from my skin and she glared at Anna with pure hatred.

The angrier Grandma got, the more satisfied Anna became. "Grandma, rest well. I'll come back to check on you later."

I gently consoled Grandma. "Don't get angry. If you do, you're playing right into her hands. She's trying to provoke you. Besides, I was skinned after I died. It didn't hurt at all."
