"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 didn't take Hazel a long time to figure out where she was. After coming over to this place a few times, Hazel became familiar with the white ceiling and the smell of antiseptic.

Upon remembering her dream, Hazel began to despise this place a little more. She couldn't understand what had happened, but at this time, Hazel knew that the elderly man that she had seen at the banquet somehow had something to do with her parents' death.

Her eyes grew watery when Hazel thought about her parents again. She tried to shift her body and suddenly realized that someone was holding on to her hand. Her head turned and Hazel blinked when she saw her Auntie Edith by her side. Hazel opened her mouth to say something, but after a while, she pursed her lips again.
