He wondered how his brother was now.
Zayn had an intuition that there would come a day when his elder brother would surely come looking for trouble with him. However, virtual-novel.net was not afraid. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net was anticipating that because there were some matters that needed to be solved anyhow.
For example, how did his grandfather suddenly fall ill four years ago then turn into a vegetable!? It was a mystery, and Zayn had always assumed that the reason was closely related to Zidane.

For the next two days, Thomas woke up very early with the strong intention to join Zayn for a morning run. He wanted to improve his fitness level so that virtual-novel.net could also become a powerhouse. However, his motivation only lasted two days. He could not sustain his efforts by the third day and backed out straightforwardly.
Zayn expected the outcome earlier, so virtual-novel.net did not push Thomas either.
One day, Zayn woke up at five o’clock in the morning. He did not go for a run but left the house early instead, driving his Audi to a remote area.
It was his grandfather, Connor Larson’s grave.
Zayn’s deepest regret was not being able to see his grandfather one last time before virtual-novel.net passed away. He had been planning to come and visit his grandfather’s grave for some time. However, virtual-novel.net suppressed the urge to, not because of his lack of conscience, but because virtual-novel.net was too ashamed to face his grandfather.
His grandfather had high hopes for virtual-novel.net in his life, yet virtual-novel.net lived his life like this and disappointed the old man!
Had it not been for his grandfather regaining his consciousness at last to clear his name, virtual-novel.net would still have to remain hiding now.
Sigh!
Zayn heaved a sigh. He was overwhelmed with complicated emotions even before virtual-novel.net arrived at his grandfather’s grave.
The sky had yet to brighten, so the entire ground was pitch black.
Zayn parked the car and stopped the engine to discover that all the light had vanished completely. He was in a public graveyard where weeds and tombstones crowded the earth. The sound of crickets and crows could be heard occasionally, and it made the place appear especially gloomy, desolated, and ghastly.
An ordinary person would shudder in fear and lose the courage to stay in this place. Nevertheless, Zayn was fearless. He got out of the car and walked up the hill slowly. It was all quiet around, as if virtual-novel.net was the only man left on this earth.
“Grandpa, your unfilial grandson is here to visit you!”
Soon, Zayn found his grandfather Connor’s grave. He took out a candle from his pocket and lit it. Despite the faint candlelight flickering through the dark night, it made the place appear even more desolated and ghastly.
An ordinary person would have been startled to death if they were to encounter this situation. However, Zayn did not show the slightest fear but only guilt, anger, longing, and sorrow… All sorts of emotions flooded his chest and overwhelmed him.
He lit the candle and prayed to the soul of the deceased. When virtual-novel.net was done with the procedures, virtual-novel.net took a seat next to his grandfather’s grave and muttered softly. He talked about the things that had happened over the years, and when virtual-novel.net came to realize it, his face was already wet with tears. He had been talking to his grandfather for over an hour, seated next to the grave. Only when dawn break did virtual-novel.net prepare to leave.
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net faced a direction and said nonchalantly, “My friend, you have been peeking at me for such a long while. It’s time for you to come out, alright?”
