Lewis was drenched in sweat, his body soaked.His eyes were red, his gaze intense, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. The scene from that night on the sea was still playing in his mind. He finally remembered what had happened that night and what he had lost.He quickly pulled out the intravenous needle from the back of his hand, lifted the blanket, and was about to get up."Judy, Judy!"Having been lying down for too long, Lewis's body was weak. He got up too quickly, and the rush of blood to his head made him feel dizzy and fall to the ground.Isabella, who was in the corridor, heard the commotion and quickly pushed the door open: "Lewis."Isabella had just gone out to find a nurse. Seeing Lewis fall to the ground, she quickly helped him up: "Son, you're finally awake. You've been lying down for a month. If you hadn't woken up, it would have been the death of us."Isabella was overjoyed and wept, her hanging heart finally settled, and her emotions were no longer restrained
Even if the quilt was lifted, Lewis showed no response.He was in a state of self-neglect and self-abandonment.Serina was also helpless, she was never one to be impatient or hot-tempered. She had just lost her temper but soon calmed down.If it weren't for Tim taking the risk to save Lewis, Lewis would have perished in the ocean.Serina said again, "Angel hasn't been held by her father for a long time. How about I bring Angel in?"Lewis shook his head; he didn't want to see Angel, he felt he had no face to see his daughter.He was too stubborn and self-righteous, thinking he had everything under control, setting a trap to lure Philip out, which led to Judy's accident.This incident shattered Lewis's confidence completely, causing him to lose faith in everything.After a while, Lewis spoke in a hoarse voice, "I killed Judy."This was the crux of Lewis's problem.And after that day, Lewis was discharged from the hospital and returned home, looking at everything familiar in the house, a
Lewis felt as if his heart was being torn apart every time he thought that there was no Judy left in this world, no more voice to hear, no more sight to see. Sometimes the pain was so intense that he could hardly breathe.His hair turned whiter and whiter, and he himself had become much thinner, no longer the spirited man he used to be.Here, Lewis's daily routine was to chant scriptures and copy Buddhist texts."Master, why are you crying again?" A tender voice emerged from under the window.It was a young monk. The boy, five years old this year, named Darren, was an orphan adopted by the temple.Lewis looked at Darren's lovely appearance and couldn't help but think of Angel. Angel was over a year old, could walk, and could speak.Although he had not gone home, Isabella sent him some videos of Angel every day.He knew his mother's intention, trying to use Angel to make him come back home.Through the videos, Lewis could see his daughter's growth every day, falling down, getting sick,
The snow could cover the portrait, but it couldn't erase Lewis's longing and memories.Suddenly, the phone rang, it was a video call from Isabella.Usually, Lewis never answered, nor did he reply to messages. If videos or photos of Angel were sent, he would watch them but wouldn't respond.Hearing the tender voice of Darren outside, Lewis softened and answered the video call.This excited Isabella on the other end of the phone. It had been over half a year since Lewis finally answered her video call. However, seeing Lewis in the video, Isabella couldn't help but tear up.Isabella was afraid that Lewis would feel upset seeing her cry, so she forced back her tears and managed a smile: "Lewis, you've lost weight. By the way, Angel has grown taller, let me show you."She then excitedly called Angel, who was playing nearby: "Angel, come and see your dad."Hearing it was her dad, Angel put down her toy and quickly ran to Isabella. Seeing Lewis in the video, Angel had no memory of him, and h
This was the first time Angel said she missed her mother.It had been over half a year, and Angel didn't have much memory of her mother, but deep down, she still missed her. It was the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.Hearing this, Serina hugged Angel tightly, sniffled, and said softly, "Angel misses her mother."Serina looked up at the starry sky outside the courtyard and said, "When you miss your mother, just look up at the sky. Your mother is a superhero who went to another planet to fight monsters, and she can come back to see Angel once her mission is completed."This was a kind-hearted lie that Serina came up with on the spur of the moment, wanting to make Angel happy.Angel looked at the starry sky, seemingly understanding but not fully: "Mom is a star.""Yes, mom is a beautiful star that can protect Angel," Serina said, changing the subject. "Let's see what Aunt Serina brought for you, a Barbie doll, do you like it?"Serina, as if performing a magic trick, took ou
Three days later.Today is Serina's day off, and she came to accompany Angel in the morning. Taking the opportunity, Isabella encouraged her: "Serina, why don't you take Angel to the temple and bring Lewis back? Lewis might come back if he sees Angel."Serina also wanted Lewis to regain his spirits: "I can try."Isabella was pleased that Serina agreed so readily: "Do your best, as long as you take Angel there.""Okay, when should we go?""Today," Isabella said urgently.Serina hesitated for a moment: "Alright, I'll arrange my work and we'll set off in the afternoon.""Okay, no problem." Isabella was delighted, as if she saw hope.In the afternoon, Serina set off for the temple with Angel. Worried that Serina might not be able to take care of Angel alone, Isabella arranged for a nanny to accompany them.At this moment, Lewis was unaware that his daughter was already on her way.Lewis stood on the viewing platform at the back of the mountain, and all he could see was a vast expanse of w
How heartbreaking is it to be called "grandpa" by one's own daughter?Angel didn't make a fuss; she obediently let Lewis hold her. She felt that this embrace was so familiar, so warm.Angel was very sensible. She reached out her little hand to wipe Lewis's tears, a gesture that made Lewis feel even more distressed.Serina sniffled and said, "Angel, this is your dad, not your grandpa. Your dad, his hair is just... it turned white because of the snow."Angel was too young to understand why his hair was white, so Serina explained it this way."Dad?"Angel looked at Lewis with curiosity and confusion, her voice tender: "Are you my dad?"Lewis nodded, barely holding back his tears as he looked at his adorable daughter, his voice hoarse: "I am your dad."Angel asked with doubt and innocence: "Dad, why didn't you come home?"Angel's voice was soft and sweet, deeply touching the heart.Lewis couldn't answer. Why didn't he come home? Why did he leave his daughter? Why did he come to Mount Wuta
Hearing that Judy might still be alive, a glimmer of light flashed in Lewis's eyes, a glimmer of hope.A spark of hope ignited in the darkness.Lewis asked, "Did you come here at my mother's request?""Everyone is very worried about you," Serina said, "With you gone, the family's pillar is gone. During this time, your mother has been sick twice, and your grandmother was hospitalized once. Angel is okay, she's healthy, and apart from a cold, there have been no other issues. Everyone doesn't want to tell you about these things, not wanting you to worry, but they also hope in their hearts that you will return."They've said too much in consolation, and everyone knows it well."You can stay at the temple tonight," Lewis said as he carefully placed Angel on the bed.Angel slept in the room, and Lewis took Serina to have dinner.Darren quietly slipped into the room. He usually liked to sneak into the room, and upon seeing no one there, he intended to leave but caught sight of a child in the
