By the time Gina opened his eyes again, it was already half a month later.
Lash feathers lightly stirred to slowly lift her eyelids, and the first thing the awakened woman did was twist her head to the side, searching for the figure of the man she had missed so much.
However, she only saw Anthony’s sorrowful and lustful face.
The last hope was shattered, the last string of faith that held her together completely snapped, and although she was prepared for it, the immense grief overwhelmed her so completely that she didn’t even have a chance to struggle in her dying breath.
Turning his head away, tears scrambled silently out of his eyes, soaking the pillow.
Gina knew that Aaron, was never going to come back.
In Roxbury of Boston, there is a small mountain village that is almost isolated from the rest of the world. There are no roads here at all.
On the hill behind the school in the mountain village, Gina was sitting on the ridge with a book in his hand.
The sunlight towards evening was not too harsh, gently gilding the woman’s body with a light layer of gold, her face looked a bit bland, her thin cheeks showed haggard, but her lips curled into a smile that was unbearably gentle.
“Teacher Grace–, my mom wants you to come to my house for dinner.” A little boy of seven or eight probingly appeared behind the woman, tugging at the corner of her snow-white coat with his dirty little hands.
The corners of her lips curved wider, wiping the boy’s cheeks dirty from crazy play with her fingers, and lifting her palm to give him some tidying of his messy hair, the woman spoke gently to him, “Uncle Song brought food for the teacher today, help the teacher thank your mother, okay?”
Watching the boy nod vigorously before running away, Gina smiled helplessly and shook his head, returning his gaze to the book in front of him.
It has been six months since she came to teach at this remote mountain village primary school.
And Anthony, too, stayed here with her for six months.
Because of the inconvenient traffic, the wealthy Anthony simply found a reliable construction team to build a road from this small mountain village to the county town, making everyone’s travel a lot easier.
The people in the village say by word of mouth that the young man and girl from outside are not only as good looking as if they came out of a painting, but they are also like living Bodhisattvas helping their village.
The man sitting in the dilapidated thatched hut drifted his gaze away to the beautiful silhouette on the ridge of the field, and finally let out a slow sigh of helplessness.
It had been six months, chasing her from the hospital to here, using almost every means of winning the girl’s heart herself, but she had shown nothing more than saying thank you to herself with a detached, polite smile.
Anthony knew that Gina would not be touched by his dedication and would only feel more guilty and upset.
After all, there was no way he could ever replace the indelible shadow in her mind.
Falling back on his gaze, Anthony took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and took out his phone to dial his secretary, “Hey, clean my office, I’ll be back tomorrow.”
You won’t be alone for long, locking his gaze on the woman walking towards him, he looked extra hard, as if he wanted to imprint the soft gesture of her now walking against the light in his mind and heart forever, and then cherish it for the rest of his life, never forgetting it.
Time passed uneventfully like this, it had been most of the time, Gina’s cheeks became rosy, perhaps because she had spent a long time with the children, the woman brought a soft meekness similar to motherhood around her.
And this time the visitors are Arthur and a lively and outgoing girl.
“Gina, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer Carroll.” After going through something like this with his sister, Arthur looked a lot more composed, and when he looked at Gina again there wouldn’t be a blush spreading from his cheeks to his ears.
Enthusiastically raising her hand to greet her, Jennifer did not have the slightest formality, but this generosity made people very comfortable.
“Report! Teacher Grace, I want to turn in my homework.”
“Please come in.”
The little girl who entered the house put her homework book on the table, fluttered her big eyes and looked around between Gina and Jennifer, showing a delighted expression.
“Teacher, this sister looks so much like you on the side. “
