"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

When Edith woke up, she found that the person who was supposed to be beside her was not around. Edith grabbed her phone on the bedside and noticed that it was three in the morning.

She got off the bed slowly and went into the study. The door to his study was slightly ajar. Edith pushed the door slightly and saw her husband behind the desk. His attention was fully on the computer screen and he had a serious look on his face. Her lips curled into a faint smile and Edith continued to stand there to watch him as he worked.

As if noticing that someone was at the door, Neil raised his head and was startled when he saw Edith at the door. He stood up immediately and walked over.

"Why are you here?" His hands quickly reached to support her and his gaze raked all over her body with worry. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Edith shook her head. "I'm fine. I woke up and didn't see you in the room."
