"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

It has been almost an hour since she has to leave her grandfather's ward and Edith was getting anxious. She did not know what the two were discussing inside and was not allowed to eavesdrop.

This was her first time to introduce someone as her boyfriend to her grandfather and Edith was worried that her grandfather was going to be fierce towards Neil. She did not know what her grandfather was going to say to him or how will he act towards Neil.

After pacing back and forth along the corridor, Edith paused and glanced at the door again. However, the door remained closed.

Just as she started to wonder if she should barge in, the door was pushed open and Neil walked out. His gaze met with hers and a warm smile curled on his lips.

Edith stopped in front of him and gave Neil a look over. A breath of relief escaped her seeing that he remained unscathed.

"What did you and grandfather talk about? Why does it take too long?"
