"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 the weekend comes, Edith and Hazel followed Neil to the airport early morning.

When they arrived, Assistant Shawn was already waiting for them. The assistant handed over the flight tickets to Neil and exchanged a few words before he followed them into the departure hall.

Edith looked at the little girl who was holding on her hands tightly and brought her over to sit down and waited for their flight.

"Un." Hazel nodded enthusiastically. "This is the first time that we're going on a trip together. Of course, I'm excited." The little girl smiled happily when Edith patted her hair. "Auntie Edith, have you ever been to Capital City before?

"Me?" Edith pondered over the question and nodded. "I have been to Capital City once. But I don't remember much about that trip."
