Edana’s pov
I don’t know how long I felt a pair of hot hands holding mine, but my eyelids were too heavy to open.
“Edana, you wake up, you don’t leave me, then you let me how to live.”
His words were so sincere, and my heart was so painful. I tried my best to open my eyes. Finally, I saw the light again, and a handsome face came into view.
“Great, thank God, you are finally awake. If you don’t wake up, I don’t know what to do in the future.” His warm and sincere words made me feel very excited.
“Frank, your eyes haven’t recovered yet. Why did you come here? Is there anyone to protect you?”
“Fool, of course, you are so considerate and only think about me, but do you know that you are all the motivation for me to live?”
We hugged each other tightly, as if we were lovers who hadn’t seen each other for many years, and cherished each other especially.
“You can rest assured that I will not be separated from you from now on, and, having found the iceberg raffelsia, you will soon be able to regain your light.”
“Well, it’s good to have you. I must take good care of myself and let myself live longer, so that I can stay with you.”
“Hmm.” I nodded heavily.
Back to the hospital, I quickly asked the doctor to add the raffelsia to the antidote to be made. Soon, Frank took the antidote and recovered within two days. Everything returned to the good times at the beginning. When we returned home, our son grew up a few inches.
Because of this drug incident, he did a good job, and his boss promoted him. However, fame and fortune were not very attractive to him. After this incident, he decided to spend more time with me and my children. As for his work, he was within his power and didn’t want to be brave.
Our life has recovered, everything is beautiful, and it is the happiest thing to watch our children grow up every day.
Jack’s perspective
The days with Fay have passed so quickly that our first son has reached school age, and our second son can already babble.
But life does not just let you go. Bad news came from home. Her grandfather was seriously ill and did not have much time left.
She could not take it right away, and I did not know what to do. All I could do was comfort her, “It’s okay, Grandpa has always been tough, and I am sure he’ll be okay this time.”
She lapsed into self-reproach, “It’s all my fault, but I am too unpious and I have not visited his old man in so long.”
I patted her on the back, “Do not blame yourself. I think what his old man wants most now is to see his precious granddaughter. Let us hurry back.”
She sobbed and nodded, “OK.”
We quickly packed our things, took our oldest son and left.
We did not drive anywhere, we went straight to the hospital. The old man was dying.
“Mom and Dad.”
“Fay, you are finally here. Go check on grandpa. He’s holding his last breath just to see you one last time.”
Hearing that sentence, Fay suddenly lost his strength and rushed into the ward.
I was very worried, so I had to go in with her.
The old man’s body is densely packed with medical equipment, just for ventilation, I am afraid he will not last much longer.
“Grandpa, I am coming, open your eyes and look at me.” Fay knelt in front of him, crying pear blossoms with rain.
I tried to coax her, but I was afraid I’d say the wrong thing.
The old man opened his eyelids, “Fay, you are finally here. Grandfather has missed you for a long time.”
“Grandfather, it’s all my fault. Will I be with you every day in the future?”
“Grandfather is afraid there will not be that blessing.”
Fay’s head shook like a rattle.
“No, Grandpa, your body is so tough, and you will definitely be fine this time.”
“Good boy, grandpa is so lucky to have such a lovely granddaughter like you.”
After that, his eyes searched around the ward. I knew he was looking for me. I quickly went to his side and took his hand, “Grandpa, I am here.”
As always with him, I smiled in relief, “Jack, you better take good care of my precious granddaughter and my two great-grandchildren in the future, or I will not let you go.”
“Grandfather, you can be sure that I will have to take good care of them. Your old man should not say so many words first, I am sure everything will be fine, and our family will be good together.”
“You are all good children, and grandfather does not regret it.”
As soon as the words sounded, his hand slipped out of mine, he fell heavily on the hospital bed and closed his eyes.
“Grandpa, open your eyes and do not scare me.”
Fay screamed at the top of his lungs for Grandpa, but no matter how loud he was, he could not wake him up.
He went into another world.
Fay sat outside in a bad mood. I was with her. I did not want her to be like this all the time. I had to comfort her, “Fay, do not be sad, people can not come back from the dead. I am sure Grandpa does not want to see you so decadent.”
But my words can not lessen his remorse, “It’s all my fault, but I am too unkempt.”
“You have done well enough. When people are old, they will always leave one day. We have to accept that reality. In the future, we will always die before and after.”
“I do not want that. If you die, I will die with you.”
“Fool.”
“If the world does not have you, then what’s the point?”
“OK, we agreed to be with each other until the last moment of life.”
After this incident, we are even more sure of our feelings for each other.
Grandfather’s funeral was not very big, but the family was orderly.
After the funeral, Fay was still very depressed. I was afraid she would be depressed all the time, so I made the suggestion to take her first and come back later when she was free.
“Well, Grandfather’s bones are not cold, you think about going back. How awful that home is, you do not want to stay there for a while.”
I quickly explained, “No, Mom and Dad, Fay’s mood is really bad. I am afraid she will not be able to get out if she stays here. I want to take her back so she can rest for a while.”
After listening to my words, they agreed with me, “Then go back and take good care of Fay and the kids.”
“OK, thank you, Mom and Dad.”
Thus equipped, we decided to return.
But the accident happened, and our son disappeared, so we panicked, especially Fay, who had just suffered a heavy blow from the death of her grandfather, and now she really could not bear it.
“Child, where is my child? Who took it away?”
I held out my hand to her comfortingly, “It’s all right. We can get him back.”
“Really?” She looked at me expectantly.
I do not know what happened in the process, but I know I can not let her continue to be depressed. All I can do is tell a white lie: “Sure, our kids are smart enough to make it.”
That sentence makes me feel guilty, but I hope so too.
I quickly sent someone out to find out their whereabouts, and Fay has been inquiring about their progress. I do not have the heart to tell her, but there’s no clue at all.
Just when we were very confused, Fay’s second brother Dick returned. I remembered that he was closest to my son Bill on weekdays. Maybe he took the child, so I hurried to ask and pray.
“Second brother, you are back.”
“Yeah, I was not in a good mood during that time, so I went out and walked around.”
“Did Bill go with you?”
Hearing my words, he expressed doubt, “Bill? Is not he here? But you should have gone back by this time. What happened?”
Unexpectedly, the result was still so disappointing. I looked sad and told him, “Bill, he’s gone. Fay and I are going crazy.”
“How did that happen? Did you go somewhere to play and forget to come back?”
I shook my head, “No, Bill’s funny, but he’ll never be that cranky. Something must have happened to him.”
“Then go find it quick.” He urged nervously.
“We looked everywhere, but there was no information about him. I did not expect you to have no news. What am I to do now?” For the first time I felt so powerless.
“Do not give up, Bill is still waiting for your father. Keep looking and I will help send someone to find him. I think there will be news soon.”
Fay’s brothers have always loved this sister the most, and of course they love me, love my dog, and adore this nephew very much.
I nodded, “OK, thank you, second brother.”
Second brother promised to help us find the kid, but he disappeared for no reason in the last two days, and we did not pay much attention to it. After all, everyone has their own things to deal with, and Fay’s mood is getting worse, but I can not say anything strange. Maybe the kid is gone, which is too hard for her.
Not two days later, the person I sent out contacted me and actually said I was surprised to see Bill and his second brother Dick together.
How could this have happened? Had not the second brother said he would help me find the kids together? Why are you with my children now? Is it because he found my children but did not tell me? What happened?
