bare when they were about to die. At that moment, Jennifer admitted she was terrified of dyng
Teresa tightly held Hannah’s hand and said, “Hannah, you’re so silly How could I ever forget you? We’re asters, connected by heart and blood Even though I was just a kid back then, you, Grandpa, and Grandma went all my most precious family
Speaking of their grandparents, Teresa could not hold back her tears. She said, “If they knew you were still at they would be so happy! But they’re no longer with us. A fire broke out in their residential area, and they were gone just like that
Teresa who had been raised by their grandparents, had a deep attachment to them
Jennifer patted Teresa’s shoulder, comforting her, “Take me to visit their graves sometime” Choking back tears. Teresa agreed
“Hannah, now that you’re back, I’ll protect you. I won’t let anyone hurt you again,” Teresa said
Jennifer wiped Teresa’s tears and said, “I remember you saying that when you were little too. Grandma used to tease you asking. Teresa, if Mom and Hannah fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?
“You replied. Till save Hannah first Mom knows how to swim, but Hannah doesn’t. I’ll always protect her”
Teresa could barely remember that. She had been too young, and her thoughts were never as meticulous as Hannah’s “Hannah, I didn’t have the ability back then, but now I do. I won’t let you suffer anymore, Teresa,said.
Jennifer smiled and said, “And I’ll protect you and Mike. You are my most important family”
“Mom–Teresa hesitated, then decided to tell the truth
She began, “Mom went back to the place where you disappeared and searched for you for a long time. By then, I think Ms Nelson had already taken you in. The police looked for you for a long time but couldn’t find you
“Then they told us you had probably fallen into the deeper part of the cliff. Philip coldly said. If we can’t find het, then we can’t. The dead can’t come back to life.” And then they held a funeral for you.
“But Morn really cried for a long time, holding your portrait. I remember she stayed with your black–and–white photo, not sleeping for days and barely eating.”
Teresa paused and then continued, “And you know what? Right before i got the news of your car accident, I had just come from Nareigh General Hospital Mom had been hospitalized for many days”
Jennifer froze and asked, “What happened to her?”
Seeing the concern in Jennifer’s eyes, Teresa reassured her “Don’t worry, it was just some complications caused by the flu and high risk childbirth She’s fine now. One day, let’s go see her together,”
Teresa continued, “It’s true. She said she wanted to atone for how she failed you, so she had a daughter with her new husband–to start over.”
