"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

Lily looked at her friend with concern. As soon as Edith put down the phone, Lily walked over and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Edith heaved a sigh. Her lips curled into a small smile. "Yeah. Auntie Li said Grandpa hang out with the others at her B&B and had a little drink. He fell asleep afterward at one of the guestrooms."

"Fortunately he's alright," Lily said. She stayed with Edith and noticed that her expression did not change much. "What's wrong?"

"Maybe I am overthinking things… but sometimes I have this feeling that Grandpa was not going fishing with his friends."

"Then, what do you think he's doing?"

"I don't know," Edith shook her head. "But my heart doesn't feel at ease."
