"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

Neil raised his hand and massaged his head as he listened to her request. "Teacher Qian, I am not going to—"


His words were left unfinished as Hazel suddenly appeared at the staircase.


"No!" Hazel screamed. She walked down the stairs anxiously while gripping at the hand railing, careful not to stumble down. She reached in front of the two grownups and held on to her teacher's shirt. "Teacher Qian, you are not going to stay with me?" Her eyes were blinking adorably at Edith.


"That," Edith stopped herself. Although she was ready to explain her situation to the little girl, Edith was not expecting the little girl to show up. Suddenly, Edith did not know what she should do. Her gaze shifted to Neil.
