Prev Chapter Next Chapter

They drive all the way to the Villa. Lily is quite familiar with this route and her memories of this gradually

become clearer. Ryan was right. She has never let go, or forgotten the past.

The driver has a good driving skill and evades the jolty route. However, Lily and Rex, who seated

themselves on the backseats, don’t talk with each other. Lily keeps looking out of the window, while

Rex, who sits beside her, fixates his gaze on her.

Half an hour later, they arrive at the Villa. Five years has past, and she comes back to this place, where

carries lots of her memories with Rex, again. Lily feels a whirlpool of emotions. She’s overwhelmed by

nervousness and intension, as if she is wrapped in a huge net, which makes her feel suffocated and

uncomfortable.

Fanny was looking after Adair who was drawing when she heard the stalling sound of the vehicle. She

then hastily walked towards the door holding the hand of Adair. Originally, she thought that it would be

Rex, but she didn’t expect that she would see a familiar person whom she has long been missing.

Seeing Lily walking towards her, Fanny’s eyes get red, “You, you are…”

Anyway, Fanny is already old, and she is speechless with shock and excitement.

Looking at the kind and amiable face, as well as the delight and overjoy for her coming back in her

eyes, Lily is also moved. She opens her arms and hugs her, “Fanny, long time no see.”

Fanny was also so moved and secretly wipes away her tears, “It has been so long, and I though…”

She sighs and then adds, “Oh, anyway, it’s good that you’re back.”

“Mummy!” Adair, who stands aside, calls him loudly as he feels that he is being ignored.

Lily loosens her hug, squats down and holds Adair into her arms. When she holds his chubby body,

she feels an urge to cry out of the blue, “Adair honey, did you miss mummy?”

“Yeah! I miss you so much!” Adair replies loudly but then wails and chokes, “I dreamed of mummy last

night.”

Lily fails to bear it anymore and tightens her embrace. She wants to kiss him, but she doesn’t dare to

do so, fearing that Adair would be infected by the viruses since she just suffered a high fever, “Be still.

Mummy also missed you very much.”

Witnessing the scene, Fanny weeps and covers her mouth to hold back the cry.

Rex just watches the scene quietly. He had dreamed of such a scene countless times when he was

overwhelmed by desperation. Now the dream comes true.

He has been looking forward to this for five years. However, in the past five years, it seemed to be a

hopeless wish to take her home since no one knew whether she was alive or not. Now that she stands

by his side, he has waves of emotions. But no one knows it.

“Let’s go in and talk later.” says Rex, his voice trembling.

Lily, with one hand holding Adair and the other hand holding Fanny, walks towards the house. Just as

she gets into the house, her heart misses one beat. And when she steps into the living room, she’s

completely stunned.

The living room has the same furnishing and decorations as it was five years ago. The position of the

TV, and even the positions of the vases, remains unchanged.

Five years ago, she was 24 years old and was in a stage from youth to maturity. She met her in that

year, and hence her life had a dramatic change.

She lived in this Villa for one year and every corner of the house was carrying their memories. The

memories pop into her mind when she sees the familiar scene.

“Miss Lily, change into the slippers first, it would be more comfortable.” Fanny opens the cabinet, takes

out the only pair of women’s slippers and puts it in front of Lily.

When Lily lowers her head to see the slippers, her whole body was stiffened. She bought this pair of

light pink plush slippers five years ago. Although five years have passed and the color of the slippers

has faded, she can still remember the design of this pair of slippers.

She can easily discern that the slippers have been washed for many times over the past five years, and

therefore they were a bit deformed. However, they are quite clean. Although it is left used for five years,

he still kept it and washed it regularly, as if he was waiting for her to come back.

Tears well up in Lily’s eyes when she thinks of this. Flustered, she shifts her gaze and dares not to look

at them any longer. She quickly changes into the slippers and forces herself not to think too much.

“Mr. Rex asked me to simmer a soup just now. Here, I simmered this chicken soup for three hours with

low flame. I will go and ladle a bowl of chicken soup for you.”

Lily didn’t expect that Rex would even prime such a trivial thing, which is so thoughtful. But she doesn’t

say anything and heads towards the kitchen directly and then seats herself.

Having not seen his mummy for a few days, Adair clings to Lily intimately and refuses to leave her.

When noticing this, Rex decides to make a room for them. He then walks upstairs to have a bath. He

has stayed in the hospital for two days and one night, therefore, he should have a good wash.

Lily lowers her head and looks at Adair, who seats himself in her arms, “How was it going in the past

several days? Are you accustomed to it?”

“I was a bit unaccustomed to it at the beginning, but now I feel better.” Adair plays his fingers and

replies in a small, childish and sweet voice, “Uncle is so good to me. Granny Fanny is also treating me

well. She made so many delicious dishes for me. It is just… just that…”

Adair pauses. “Just that what?” asks Lily.

Adair scratches his head shyly, “It’s just that I missed so much when I went to sleep at night.”

“It’s okay. Mummy is coming to picking you up. We can come back home later.”

“Huh? Are we going to leave?” Adair is a bit shocked as he realizes that they are leaving.

Lily’s gaze meets with his innocent lines of sight. She smiles, “Yeah. Mummy comes to take you home.

You can choose to live in Uncle Ryan’s house, or your godmother Abby’s house, or your grandparents’

house. It’s up to you.”

Lily intends to let Adair choose a place to stay. However, upon hearing her words, Adair’s face wrinkles,

as if he’s struggling for something, “But… I… I…”

He stammers for several times yet says nothing.

Lily strokes his head gently, “You can tell me slowly.”

Adair stammers for a while and finally squeezes out a sentence, “I and Uncle Rex have decided to go

hiking tomorrow. He said since he had no time to accompany me in the past several days, he will take

me out to go climbing tomorrow.”

Rex made this promise when he was having a call with Adair in the corridor last night. And Adair has

been looking forward to this.

Lily didn’t expect that Adair would have such a reaction. She thought that Adair would be overjoyed

when he hears that he can come back home. But she didn’t expect that he would be upset.

Yeah, he’s upset.

He doesn’t want to leave.

Coming to this conclusion, Lily is confused, not knowing whether she’s delighted or unhappy. Normally

specking, she should feel happy. After all, Adair’s reaction indirectly shows that Rex has treated Adair

well. But personally, she is unhappy, for Adair begins to have a sense of dependency towards Rex.

She never expected that Adair would have so many feelings for Rex.

“You don’t want to leave?” Lily still chooses to solicit for Adair’s decision, “Are you still willing to stay

here if mummy has to leave because I have some businesses to deal with?”
