"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?"

A Lifetime With You

As Neil's SUV drove away, a figure walked out of the shadow. It was Headmistress Fu and she was watching the direction where the vehicle had disappeared to with her eyes wide and her mouth slightly ajar.

The elderly lady stood at the same spot for almost two minutes before her knee finally grew tired and she finally snapped out of her thoughts. Headmistress Fu turned to her office and wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Just now, she did see that Neil Mo was kissing with her teacher, Edith.

From the way the two interacted, it does look like their relationship was more than she had thought.

Headmistress Fu continued to ponder about what she had seen until she concluded. She had seen the world long enough to know what was going on between Edith and Neil.

Since the two were obviously in a romantic relationship, then, what was the point of her friend asking her help to watch over the two and help them to develop a relationship?
