The snow could cover the portrait, but it couldn't erase Lewis's longing and memories.Suddenly, the phone rang, it was a video call from Isabella.Usually, Lewis never answered, nor did he reply to messages. If videos or photos of Angel were sent, he would watch them but wouldn't respond.Hearing the tender voice of Darren outside, Lewis softened and answered the video call.This excited Isabella on the other end of the phone. It had been over half a year since Lewis finally answered her video call. However, seeing Lewis in the video, Isabella couldn't help but tear up.Isabella was afraid that Lewis would feel upset seeing her cry, so she forced back her tears and managed a smile: "Lewis, you've lost weight. By the way, Angel has grown taller, let me show you."She then excitedly called Angel, who was playing nearby: "Angel, come and see your dad."Hearing it was her dad, Angel put down her toy and quickly ran to Isabella. Seeing Lewis in the video, Angel had no memory of him, and h
This was the first time Angel said she missed her mother.It had been over half a year, and Angel didn't have much memory of her mother, but deep down, she still missed her. It was the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.Hearing this, Serina hugged Angel tightly, sniffled, and said softly, "Angel misses her mother."Serina looked up at the starry sky outside the courtyard and said, "When you miss your mother, just look up at the sky. Your mother is a superhero who went to another planet to fight monsters, and she can come back to see Angel once her mission is completed."This was a kind-hearted lie that Serina came up with on the spur of the moment, wanting to make Angel happy.Angel looked at the starry sky, seemingly understanding but not fully: "Mom is a star.""Yes, mom is a beautiful star that can protect Angel," Serina said, changing the subject. "Let's see what Aunt Serina brought for you, a Barbie doll, do you like it?"Serina, as if performing a magic trick, took ou
Three days later.Today is Serina's day off, and she came to accompany Angel in the morning. Taking the opportunity, Isabella encouraged her: "Serina, why don't you take Angel to the temple and bring Lewis back? Lewis might come back if he sees Angel."Serina also wanted Lewis to regain his spirits: "I can try."Isabella was pleased that Serina agreed so readily: "Do your best, as long as you take Angel there.""Okay, when should we go?""Today," Isabella said urgently.Serina hesitated for a moment: "Alright, I'll arrange my work and we'll set off in the afternoon.""Okay, no problem." Isabella was delighted, as if she saw hope.In the afternoon, Serina set off for the temple with Angel. Worried that Serina might not be able to take care of Angel alone, Isabella arranged for a nanny to accompany them.At this moment, Lewis was unaware that his daughter was already on her way.Lewis stood on the viewing platform at the back of the mountain, and all he could see was a vast expanse of w
How heartbreaking is it to be called "grandpa" by one's own daughter?Angel didn't make a fuss; she obediently let Lewis hold her. She felt that this embrace was so familiar, so warm.Angel was very sensible. She reached out her little hand to wipe Lewis's tears, a gesture that made Lewis feel even more distressed.Serina sniffled and said, "Angel, this is your dad, not your grandpa. Your dad, his hair is just... it turned white because of the snow."Angel was too young to understand why his hair was white, so Serina explained it this way."Dad?"Angel looked at Lewis with curiosity and confusion, her voice tender: "Are you my dad?"Lewis nodded, barely holding back his tears as he looked at his adorable daughter, his voice hoarse: "I am your dad."Angel asked with doubt and innocence: "Dad, why didn't you come home?"Angel's voice was soft and sweet, deeply touching the heart.Lewis couldn't answer. Why didn't he come home? Why did he leave his daughter? Why did he come to Mount Wuta
Hearing that Judy might still be alive, a glimmer of light flashed in Lewis's eyes, a glimmer of hope.A spark of hope ignited in the darkness.Lewis asked, "Did you come here at my mother's request?""Everyone is very worried about you," Serina said, "With you gone, the family's pillar is gone. During this time, your mother has been sick twice, and your grandmother was hospitalized once. Angel is okay, she's healthy, and apart from a cold, there have been no other issues. Everyone doesn't want to tell you about these things, not wanting you to worry, but they also hope in their hearts that you will return."They've said too much in consolation, and everyone knows it well."You can stay at the temple tonight," Lewis said as he carefully placed Angel on the bed.Angel slept in the room, and Lewis took Serina to have dinner.Darren quietly slipped into the room. He usually liked to sneak into the room, and upon seeing no one there, he intended to leave but caught sight of a child in the
When Lewis found Darren and Angel building a snowman in the courtyard, his anxious heart immediately settled down.He quickly walked over and saw Angel stumbling in the snow, the two of them having a great time. Angel kept laughing and chasing after Darren.Both were in a childlike mood, and Lewis didn't blame Darren. He squatted down and said, "Angel, come to Daddy."It was too cold outside, and Lewis was concerned about his daughter.Angel's nose was red from the cold."Daddy." Angel called out with a smile in a sweet, childish voice, then stumbled towards Lewis, threw herself into his arms, and gave him a kiss, "Daddy."Angel's actions were simply melting Lewis's heart.Lewis also kissed his daughter, picked her up, and said to Darren, "It's too cold, let's go back to the room to sleep. Siblings are still young, and they can easily get sick if they catch a cold."Darren was very sensible: "Sorry, Master, I saw that the sister was very cute, so I took her out to play. Master, is thi
Lewis was thinking of taking Angel out for a walk, which is why he was willing to go out.Many tourists come here to eat seafood, making the night market even more lively.Serina also doesn't usually go to these places, and this is her first time strolling through the night market with Lewis.Serina suggested, "Would you like to eat something?""No need," Lewis continued to walk forward.Serina didn't say anything more. She could feel that Lewis was deliberately keeping his distance from her.Serina didn't dare to have any more illusions about Lewis, but as a friend, she hoped that Lewis would pull himself together.After a while, Angel saw someone selling balloons and wanted one.Lewis handed Angel to Serina to hold: "Hold her for a while, I'll go buy a balloon."The balloons were across the street.Serina held Angel and waited in place while Lewis crossed the road to buy one.He chose a balloon, paid for it, and was about to walk back when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure th
Serina was worried about leaving Lewis alone; in her eyes, Lewis seemed to have lost his mind at this point.Serina said, "You said you saw Judy, then I'll go with you, we'll look together."Lewis was eager to find Judy and didn't say much more to Serina.The two of them, along with Angel, went to the traffic police station. Lewis was convinced that he had seen his wife, who had been missing for over half a year. The traffic police quickly pulled up the surveillance footage from that time.Lewis's eyes were fixed on the monitor, and when the image of Lewis seeing Judy appeared, and a man and a woman were seen leaving on a motorcycle, Lewis was overjoyed.Lewis pointed to the monitor and said, "Pause, zoom in."The surveillance footage was paused and enlarged, allowing Lewis to see the people on the screen clearly.Serina also recognized her, and she was shocked: "It really is Judy; she's still alive."Lewis's eyes were red as he stared at the surveillance screen, and the emotions he h
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
