Edmund Hills was hurt when he found out that Alice was having an affair. He sued his wife for divorce and threw her out of their house. He didn't know that Alice was actually pregnant and that he was being instigated by his own mother. When the truth was revealed, Edmund was very sorry. He went looking for Alice, intending to take her home. Unfortunately, he was too late. Alice had already jumped into the river and disappeared without a trace. For years, Edmund was mired in regret. Until one day, he met Sky, a child who looked like Alice. When Edmund met her mother, he was stunned. He had found Alice! However, the woman didn't know Edmund at all. She admitted that her name was Rachel and she already had a husband. What actually happened? Was she really Alice, the wife Edmund lost due to his mother's instigation?

Why did she forget to turn off the screen earlier? "That's because I couldn't wait for you guys to come home. I meant to call you. But because I was too dizzy, I didn't call." Edmund nodded. While pocketing his hands, he looked around, looking for other evidence. "You know what, Mom? I panicked when I heard that you fell in the bathroom. But if it turns out that all of this was just a trick, don't blame me if next time I think your illness was an act." Elizabeth opened her mouth, about to argue. Before her voice could come out, Edmund said, "Alice, where is the blood pressure monitor I bought earlier?" Seeing Alice handed over the new device, Elizabeth's breath hitched. "You want to check me? Why don't you use a blood pressure monitor there?" She pointed at the
Sky brought her face closer to Elizabeth's eyes. The woman immediately tilted her head away. Her hand pressed Sky's shoulder to stop her from approaching. "Before my patience runs out, get out of bed!" This time, Sky flinched. She quickly got down and stood up, covering her ears. Seeing her behavior, Elizabeth sighed in disbelief. "You dare make fun of me? Who taught you to cover your ears when I'm advising you? Your mother?" "Sorry, Grandma. It's not that I don't want to hear your voice. Uncle Ed said, if you're angry, you can pinch my ear. Because of that, I have to protect myself." Elizabeth sighed and pressed her temples. Her head started to throb. Maybe now, she really had high blood pressure. "Grandma, are you okay? Does your head hurt again? Or are your ears ringing? You should watch her diet, Grandma. I heard that older people get sick more easily. You should only eat healthy food. Don't eat snack carelessly." "You thin
"Uncle Scott? Why did you come by motorbike? That's against the rules of adventure." Sky put her hands on her hips, annoyed. "Look! The squirrels are running away because of you." Scott raised his hand, waving at Sky. "Hello, Sky. Sorry if I disturbed you. I have important news to convey." Edmund furrowed his brows. "Is my mother acting up?" "Your mother fell in the bathroom. She complained of dizziness. The servants tried to take her to the hospital, but she refused. She even threw your doctor away. She said she would only be treated if you persuaded her." Edmund took a quick breath. "Have you guys checked her blood pressure?" "Yes, it's high. But apparently, your mother did it on purpose. Mrs. Klein found snack packagings in the trash can in her room." Edmund looked down and gritted his teeth. As he closed his eyes, Scott continued, "And you know what? Your mother called Giselle to your house yesterday. I don't know what they talked
"Mama, Uncle Ed! We are right. It is north! We found the right star!" Sky shouted from inside the tent. Hearing that, Edmund and Alice chuckled. "Bring the compass here, Honey. Mama and Papa want to see it too!" "Oh, yeah. I forgot I was still in the tent." Sky appeared with a happy face. She handed the compass into Edmund's hands. Together, they checked. "Look! The telescope is pointing to E. E is for Edmund. We're facing north!" "Should we take a photo to capture this moment?" Alice suggested, making Edmund stunned. He suddenly felt that his wife's memory had returned."Yes!" Sky said, interrupting his thoughts. "Let's take photos with the magic camera. We'll take lots of pictures. I want to stick them in my journal, on the wall of my office, in Uncle Ed's office, then let's stick the rest on the biome map. People who see it will definitely be happy and want to come here too!" Edmund could not help
Since the sun had set, Sky wasn't allowed to leave the tent. In fact, she also wanted to prepare dinner. However, Alice and Edmund forbade her. As a result, she busied herself with her journal. "Tada! Look at this, Grassy. I've finished my travel journal for today." Sky pulled the green teddy bear onto her lap. Together, they "paid attention" to her journal. "This is the beginning of the journey. I am very happy. That's why my smile is the biggest." She pointed to the curve of the lips she had drawn. Then, her index finger shifted to a picture of a group of people wearing the same hats. "This is the moment when we met a group of tourists who used the services of Uncle Ed's company. They spoke a language I didn't understand, but Mama could chat with them. Mama is great!" Suddenly, Sky giggled. Her attention was drawn to the image of three people sitting on a picnic mat. Two of them had very thick lips. Another one looked like she was la
Once again, Sky turned to face the innocent little insect. "You guys ... listen to me carefully. Biting people's lips is not good. If they get hurt, how can they eat and talk? They'll definitely have a hard time. You're lucky my parents' lips are only slightly swollen. Otherwise, I would have put you in in a bottle and then shaken it until you all got dizzy." "Honey, aren't you an animal lover? Why do you think of torturing ants like that?" Alice asked gently. "That's a lesson they deserve, Mama. They won't die, just a little dizzy. So, once they get out of the bottle, they can't walk straight for a while." Edmund shook his head at that imagination. Before his amusement subsided, Sky had grumbled again. "Next time, if you want to bite someone, just bite their leg or hand. Not the lips, understand? Because wounds on the lips are more difficult to treat." "Sky, what if they bite on the neck?" Alice quietly elbowed Edmund. The man put on
"Jeez, Honey. You don't have to do that. Your head will hurt." Alice grabbed her daughter's hand. Meanwhile, Edmund cupped Sky's cheeks to stop her from holding her breath. "Sky, you know what? There are better ways to signal that you're excited about our trip." Sky took a deep breath. "Really? How?" "By smiling and laughing." "I've been doing that all day." Edmung nodded quickly. "Yeah, that's what made me realize that our trip was perfect. So, I made my own sign." "Okay, since Uncle Ed and I have made a sign, now it's Mama's turn." Getting an expectant wink from Sky, Alice frowned. "I've made a sign too. I was laughing with you earlier." "No, Mama. You have to make a different sign." Alice was silent for a moment. "Is there any way to express joy other than crying and laughing?" "Yes, Mama." Sky giggled, suspiciously. "You have to sing while dancing. Like I usually do." Alice sighed in disbelie
"Okay, then, have fun. I'll wait until you guys get home. We have a little time on Sunday night, right?" Elizabeth said, accepting defeat. "What do you want to play with me, Grandma?" Sky stood on tiptoe, waiting for an answer. "A lot of stuff. Spare your weekend if you want to know." Sky's lips pursed. "Oh, sorry, Grandma. I already have plans for the next three months." "Three months?" Elizabeth's eyes nearly popped out. Her plan could go stale if she had to wait that long. "Yes. After exploring this area, we will continue to other places. How about we just play on weekdays, Grandma? Wait for me to come home from work or, you can come to my office room. We can play after I finnish my tasks. " "You have an office room?" Elizabeth's eyes could no longer open any wider. "Yes. It was a gift from Uncle Ed because I am an Environmental Ambassador and Supervisor at his company." Elizabeth sigh
"Which constellation do you like best?" Edmund asked."That one!" Sky pointed at Ursa Major. Edmund's forehead furrowed. "Why?" "Because it's always in the north. On Mama's compass, north is the letter E. E is for Edmund." Sky hugged her father's neck with all her might, not caring if he was suffocating because of her action. Edmund could only laugh at her "sweet attack". "You know what, Honey? You're lucky to have such a good Papa," Alice whispered, throwing a bait. "Yes, Uncle Ed is the coolest father in the world. He's not only handsome and fun, but also creative and kind!" As Sky kissed his cheek repeatedly, Edmund chuckled. Alice's feelings became even more mixed watching it. Sky already considered Edmund her father, but why hadn't she changed the way she called him? "Now, want to lie down and watch the constellations?" Edmund's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Yes, but in the tent. We can lie down w
