The little girl had only lost both her parents. But in a room was full of people, no one seemed to pay attention to her.

"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

"You're going out?" Neil asked when he saw Hazel walked down the stairs. A frown appeared when he saw that Hazel had put on a nice dress and wore light make-up.

"Mmm… I'm going with Alex to his classmate's reunion."

Neil was about to ask why does she want to go to Alex's reunion when his wife spoke.

"Please say hi to Megan for me," Edith said. She sensed that her husband was looking at her and explained. "Megan is one of my students and she had a good relationship with Hazel until high school. She used to come here a lot."

Neil tried to recall his niece's friends and thought of a face.

At this time, Hazel's phone chimed and a bright smile curled on her lips. "Alex is here. I better get going."

Edith nodded. "Go ahead. Don't make others wait. Have fun, Hazel." Once the door shut behind Hazel, Edith turned to her husband again. "Why are you unhappy?"
