"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

Hazel followed Lily to the counter and looked at the jewelry displayed. "Auntie Lily, what are you planning to buy to Ellie?"

Lily let out a long breath as she continued to browse through the jewelry. "I'm thinking about buying a new bracelet. What do you think?"

Hazel followed her gaze and nodded. "A bracelet sounds good." She looked at the rows of bracelets and quickly noticed a few designs that Ellie would like to wear.

"Help me choose which design would be appropriate," Lily said. "I'm already this old, You youngsters have different tastes. You are close to Ellie as well. You should understand her preferences as well."

"Auntie Lily, you're not old at all. Your skin looks good. If you stood next to Ellie, people would think that the two of you were sisters."

Lily giggled happily at Hazel's words. "You have a sweet mouth."
