Chapter 15: Trauma
Cassandra no longer worried that Iris would change, but what troubled her now were the rude words she had spoken to Xavier and his friends yesterday when she asked them to cut ties with Iris.
"Dear, yesterday I said something rude to Xavier and his friends..." Cassandra admitted, feeling guilty.
"Rude? What did you say, Grandma?" Iris was curious to know.
Cassandra quickly recounted what she had told Xavier and the others.
Instantly, Iris felt amused upon hearing that. ’Gosh, Grandma finally couldn’t hold back her anger anymore, huh?!’ She chuckled inwardly, empathizing with her grandmother’s emotions as she remembered how foolish young Iris had been.
Trying to reassure her grandma, Iris smiled and said, "Grandma, I know I should stop chasing Xavier, but I can’t cut ties with him and his friends so suddenly, can I?" She paused, waiting for her grandma’s response.
"They are my classmates, so I will continue to meet and study with them in the future," Iris explains.
"I know. That’s why I feel so guilty right now. I hope they don’t remember my rant..." Cassandra sighed deeply.
"No worries, Grandma, I will apologize to them."
"Hmm, thank you dear," Cassandra said.
