Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Alex thought of this, he felt a pain in his head. He couldn’t help but reach out and rub his forehead. Guilt? He had been hiding for those years and did things without caring about the consequences. He had never considered guilt, except for the matter with Helena Walton…
After that, the dark corporation was wiped out in one fell swoop, and Alex was sent to the secret training camp to be forced to quit drugs. The reason why drugs were terrifying was because they could destroy one’s will. Even Alex could not avoid it. After two years of sobriety in the training camp, the organization still did not dare to let Alex out. Hence, they sent him to the border battlefield and used blood and the cruelty of the battlefield to fish him out of the abyss of drugs. Then, Alex returned. The first thing he did when he returned was to find the girl he “caught” five years ago, only to find that the girl was already dead.
Alex looked at the heavy traffic outside. Eighteen years had pa.s.sed, and his family had all died. Less than ten percent of his comrades who had fought together with him were still alive. Now, the only girl who had been intimate with him was also dead. It seemed like he had nothing left.
Alex lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in the photo. Her eyes were curved into crescents, and there were two faint dimples at the corners of her lips, making her smile even sweeter.
“Mia…” The wind blew past Alex’s curly hair and covered his deep eyes, making him look even lonelier and colder.
At the same time, in the Walton residence.
The lights were just turned on, and the Walton family was bustling with noise and excitement. The fragrance of food could be smelled from afar, and there was the laughter of the children in the house. Old Madam Walton raised her voice slightly. “Children, let’s eat!”
Amelia was the first to wash her hands. It was rare for Andrew to come back early from the night shift. He said meaningfully, “Mia, you have to wash your hands seriously. You can’t be perfunctory.”
Amelia smiled in embarra.s.sment. “I know, Uncle.”
Andrew pressed the soap dispenser and bent down to carry Amelia. He grabbed her two small hands and washed them seriously. Amelia happily sang the hand washing song. “I like to wash my hands. Clean baby, wash your hands and wash your hands. After washing your hands, eat…”
A smile appeared in Andrew’s eyes. “Who taught you that song?
Amelia: “Sister Emma taught me. She said that all the children in kindergarten know how to sing.” Her eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Andrew through the mirror.
Andrew’s smile deepened. “Impressive. Mia is the best.” That was great. The little girls nowadays had become so cheerful and lively. He still remembered the first time he saw Mia. She was buried in the snow. Her entire body was injured, and her eyes were lifeless. She was numb like an emotionless robot.
After Amelia washed her hands, she seriously wiped them clean with a towel before running to the dining room. Halfway there, she turned back and held
Andrew’s hand. “Uncle, let’s go, let’s go. Mia is hungry!’
Andrew smiled and was led to the dining room by Amelia.
Old Madam Walton had been very enthusiastic about cooking recently. She had made a total of ten dishes and a soup. There were all kinds of dishes and they tasted delicious.
Amelia exclaimed, “Grandma, did you do all this?”
Old Madam Walton said smugly, “That’s right. Grandma’s cooking is very good, right?”
Amelia gave her a thumbs up. “Impressive. Give Grandma a Like!”
Old Madam Walton couldn’t help but laugh. Emma, Lucas, and William buried their heads in their food. In the past, they always felt that the food at home wasn’t delicious, but now, for some reason, the food at home seemed to be the best.
George said, “Mia’s adaptation period is over now. We can send her to kindergarten.” Ever since she went to school with William, Amelia was filled with yearning for school. Even when Emma went to kindergarten, she felt that Emma was very capable.
Old Master Walton pursed his lips, his expression cold. “What’s the hurry? Mia is still young.”
Amelia said anxiously, “Grandpa, I’m not young anymore. I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I’m a four-year-old child!”
Emma looked up from her busy schedule. With food still in her mouth, she mumbled, “Mia go to school with me…”
Andrew chuckled and said, “Dad, let Mia go to school. It just so happens that Emma and the others have just started school. They can take care of each other.”
Old Master Walton did not say a word. How did time pa.s.s so quickly? It had only been a blink of an eye since he brought Mia home. Why was she going to school? After the entire family agreed, they decided that Amelia would go to kindergarten after May 1st!
Amelia was happy and ate two more pig trotters!
At night, Amelia climbed into bed in a daze after taking a shower. She was too tired from playing all day. She closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly..
