I Truly Wish...

Mrs. Lu sighed softly when she looked at Nicolae with her deep eyes.

"Marie doesn't have anyone. Apart from being an only child, I also don't have any family in this world anymore. Her father and I grew up in an orphanage. We don't know who our family was ... Our fate was the same, we were sent to the orphanage when we were infants."

Nicolae remembered his brother who also never knew his parents and grew up in an orphanage. He felt growing sympathy for Marie and her mother.

"I understand how you feel..." he could only say those words, without revealing too much about his family.

Mrs. smiled a little. Her gaze seemed to see something far away in the past. "Peter, my husband, was later adopted when he was a teenager, but his family died in a traffic accident. He was once again alone in the world."
