Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Alex hugged Amelia and thought of Mrs. Walton’s heartbroken expectations at home. He immediately took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when he heard a beep. His cell phone had run out of battery and was switched off. He simply threw his cell phone to the front pa.s.senger seat. He did not care. If he could not make the call, so be it. As long as he went home!
Alex turned around and asked, “Are you sitting properly? Mia!”
Amelia’s pink safety seat had been there the entire time she was away. Amelia sat on it and skillfully buckled her seatbelt. She said, “Sit tight!”
“Where’s Sister-in-law?” Alex glanced at Ling.
Ling had been following Amelia. When Amelia had thrown herself into Alex’s arms, she had stood to the side and watched quietly. Now that Alex had spoken, she raised a hand. “Sit tight!”
Alex adjusted the rearview mirror and said, “We’ll be home in half an hour!” As soon as he finished speaking, the black SUV flew out like a wild horse!
It had been three months since Amelia went missing. The Walton residence was lifeless. William carried his school bag to school every day, but his eyes were lifeless. Emma did not say a word and began to do her homework seriously. However, sometimes, she could not help but wipe her tears as she wrote. Mrs. Walton sat on the rattan chair in front of the door, still holding Amelia’s shoes and gloves in her hand. Her turbid eyes no longer had the livelihood of chopping people with her bare hands.
Mr. Walton came out with a shawl and draped it over Mrs. Walton. He sighed and said, “Go in and sleep for a while.” She woke up so early every day and sat here for the entire day. He remembered that when Helena went missing, she was like this too.
Mrs. Walton shook her head. “I’m not sleeping. I’ll sit here and wait. What if Mia comes back and doesn’t see Grandma? I want to wait here for her to come back and be the first to see her ”
Mr. Walton’s nose felt a little sour, and his heart ached. He couldn’t help but press down on his heart and take a deep breath. “Then you have to keep your energy. Mia definitely won’t want to see you like this when she comes back. She’ll blame herself.”
Mrs. Walton only shook her head and did not speak. Although she was no longer crying, her heart was dead. There was no longer a trace of light in her eyes.
“The sun is out and the ice and snow have melted. Mia, why aren’t you back yet ” Mrs. Walton murmured, rubbing Amelia’s small shoes with her fingertips.
Under the evening sun, the last rays of the sun reluctantly bade farewell. The sky gradually darkened.
Mrs. Walton stared at the door, looking and thinking of Amelia hopping over from the door and shouting softly, “Grandma!” But another day had pa.s.sed and the sun was about to set again. She still did not see her Mia.
“Mia ” Mrs. Walton tightened her grip on the small shoes in her arms and stood up shakily. “Grandma will cook for you. You’ll be very hungry when you come back. Grandma will make Mia’s favorite pork trotters in sauce and Mia’s favorite roasted drumstick ”
Mrs. Walton held onto the chair and stood up with difficulty. Mrs. Taylor looked at her worriedly. “Old Madam, why don’t you go and rest? I’ll do it.”
Mrs. Walton shook her head. “No, I want to cook for Mia myself. Mia said she loves Grandma’s cooking the most.” She couldn’t let Mia down. When Mia returned, she wanted her to have a hot bite of something she’d made herself.
Mrs Walton stood up with her arms around his back and walked slowly towards the house.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded. “Grandma! Grandma, I’m back!”
Mrs. Walton’s back stiffened. She thought she heard Mia’s voice, but she didn’t dare turn around. She was afraid she was hallucinating
Footsteps approached. It was a familiar sound. One could tell it was Mia’s Mrs. Walton turned carefully. If it was an illusion, she was afraid that if she turned too quickly, the dream would be shattered.
As a result, when she turned around, she saw Amelia running over with a big rock in her hand. She was wearing an adult cashmere coat. Mrs. Walton remembered this coat because she had bought it for Ling. Now the cashmere coat was dirty. One sleeve was gone, and the other was half torn. Mia was barefoot.
Amelia threw aside the large rock she was holding above her head with a bang and threw herself into Mrs. Walton’s arms. Mrs. Walton staggered and almost fell. Mr. Walton quickly caught her.
“Grandma, Grandma!” Amelia hugged Mrs. Walton’s neck and kissed her cheek happily. “Grandma, I’m back!”
