"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

A few days before her parents' death anniversary, Alex picked her up and they both headed back to L City together. On the trip back, the two spent their time chatting about various things before Hazel finally dozed off in the passenger's seat.

Because she was planning to head back to L City, Hazel has been busy catching up with her assignments before she could ask for a few days off from her professor. This morning, she had to get up really early as they wanted to arrive at L City quickly. As soon as she sat in the car, Hazel could no longer fight her drowsiness.

When she woke up again, the vehicle had entered L City.

Hazel rubbed at her eyes and swiftly turned her head to one side to check if she had drooled in Alex's presence. Seeing that there were no such thing, Hazel turned to Alex again and the two exchanged a glance briefly.

"Hmm…" Hazel pursed her lips. "Sorry. I fell asleep. Are you tired?"
