Mr Dai shook his head, "I was away at that time and by the time I returned, nobody wants to talk about it..."
Looking at the photo of his late wife, he felt so bad for taking a leave then. He had lost his wife a month prior to the incident and he had been having trouble functioning properly.
Upon the advice of the Principle at that time, he took two weeks off to grief for his loss. If he knew beforehand, he would have stayed.
Maybe he would have noticed something, or maybe she would come to him. For years, he felt as if he there was something that he could have done for her.
Han Ye took a photo of the newspaper clipping with his phone before giving it back to Mr. Dai.
He also noticed something in the yearbook and quickly snapped a few pictures before giving it back to the Principal.
"Thanks for your help, Mr Dai."
"No problem."
