Ch. 446..450: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 446-450

Chapter 446: She’s Pregnant

Wendy escaped.

Everyone had seen it coming.

But most of them didn't bother looking.

"I just want Emily back." Grandpa Gale sat on the hospital bed, looking like a wreck.

The other day, his illness kept getting worse and he was suffering from intense mood swings.

But luckily, he sobered up the next day.

That was when Emily disappeared.

What was all over the Internet couldn't be kept from him at all.noveldrama

The old man was anxious, heartbroken, and completely freaking out.

They had sent everyone they could to look for her, even Joseph and Francis.

If it weren't for the fact that all the Gales were too busy looking for Emily, Wendy could never have escaped.

Just as Wendy had said, the most important thing in the Gale family was each other.

That was why nobody cared where Wendy was. All they wanted was to find Emily.

“Brother, Hunter has called back all his people." Francis told Joseph the news the minute he got it.

"That bastard doesn't care about Emily at all. But who need him? We have plenty of people. We will find her," Joseph snorted and said indifferently,

He was wrong about Hunter!

He had thought, deep down, Hunter still cared about Emily. But it turned out his feelings for her were fleeting.

That man only cared about himself after all.

"Brother, what about the contract?"

That contract wasn't signed by Wendy at all, but by Carl Gale, the biggest shareholder of the Gale Group.

Wendy, that slippery snake, didn't even leave a single door open for them.

Carl was from the Gale family as well as a major shareholder. He didn't do anything wrong.

Therefore, even if something happened to Wendy, the contract was still valid.

"Brother, we've been played by them. We're screwed!"

Compensation of 30 billion was a fatal blow to the Gale Group.

They had to sell their shares to make the compensation.

But in this case, all the shareholders would panic and divest themselves of their shares.

If they did, the price of the shares would drop. And the lower the price was, the more they had to lose...

In short, it was a vicious cycle. One downfall would lead the Gale Group into an irreversible catastrophe.

"Even if I sell my company, it will only be worth two billion, which was still not enough to cover the expense."

Although Francis did fine with his company, it was still no match for the Gale Group.

"What do we do now, brother?"

"We can't carry on with the projects in that contract. It requires more than we can take. It will end up as a disaster for us, too."

Therefore, the only way was to raise enough money.

"But where are we going to get the money? Selling all our real estate was still not enough. Are we going to sell our own mansion as well?"

Francis thought for a moment and shook his head, "Even if we sell the mansion, we're still short."

Even the billions-worth mansion was not enough to cover the expense of thirty billion.

"Don't tell grandpa about this..."

"You guys are hiding everything from me. Good kids! Both of you."

Not far behind them, Mr. Gale was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at them.

Joseph's heart sank as he quickly walked over, “Grandpa, it'll be fine. Don't overthink."

He was so occupied in his thoughts that he didn't hear him coming in.

Francis also walked over and forced a smile, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? We never hide anything from you."

Mr. Gale waved his hand. He didn't want to hear any of this.

He suddenly said to Joseph, "I need to talk to you."

Joseph and Francis exchanged glances. Joseph stopped Francis when he was trying to say something.

After that, Joseph pushed his grandpa to the elevator in his wheelchair.

They went to the garden. Although it wasn't very quiet, it had the most beautiful scenery.

There were people walking around, some were patients, some were doctors and nurses, and some were visitors for the patients.

"If Emily is still here, she will definitely take me here every day to enjoy the sunlight."

The old man looked at the distant blue sky, feeling depressed at the thought of her.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Emily will come back. I will find her."

Joseph wanted to comfort him, but his comfort was the last thing he need.

The old man shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"But she won't come back. She has some issues that she can never work out."

He had watched those two videos. Emily felt despair for the world. How could she come back?

"Isn't that right?" The old man suddenly covered his chest in great pain. "Grandpa, are you okay?" Joseph panicked. What he feared the most was his grandfather's heart attack.

"Grandpa, is it your heart again? I'll take you to the doctor."

"No..." With his hand still on his chest, Sawyer Gale's eyes were full of misery.

"I know Emily was desperate. What I worry the most right now is whether ... whether she will even give up on herself."

"No way!" said Joseph firmly.

Grandpa Gale looked up at him, "You ... do you know where she is?"

"I don't know. But I do know she won't do anything stupid. Trust me."

Grandpa Gale believed him because he knew him for years. Joseph always said what he meant.

But how could he be so sure?

"But how is she going to live like this?" It took great courage for a girl to live a life after her reputation was ruined.

"No matter what, she will definitely survive this. She will never let anything bad happen to her!"

At the very least, Joseph was certain of it.

But Sawyer Gale didn't.

With hands on his chest, he felt harder to breathe.

"I don't know, I'm really scared..."

"Grandpa, don't be scared. She ... she still wanna live. She won't do anything stupid. Trust me!"

"Joseph, you are hiding something." Sawyer Gale was wise enough to know things were a lot more complicated than it appeared.

Joseph opened his mouth but no voice came out. He didn't know if he should tell him.

"Joseph, it hurts to know you're keeping a secret from me."

There was misery all over his face again. But this time, he was faking it.

And Joseph could tell.

He knew he had to put his mind at ease eventually, even though his grandpa was

acting.

He let out a sigh. There were things he could do nothing about.

"Emily... she's pregnant."☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 447: We Were Childhood Sweethearts

Sawyer Gale waited for a long time in the cold wind.

Butler Milo checked the time again. It had been three hours.

"Sir, please let me take you back. You said it yourself that families are the most important, not the Gale group."

Why were they here pleading Hunter Jackson for help?

They should go back and continue their search for Emily.

Let the young in charge of the company. It was no big deal even if it didn't work out.

But Sawyer shook his head and stared at the entrance of the hotel.

"Go tell them again I need to talk to Hunter. It's important."

"Sir, stay away with that bastard!"

Butler Milo couldn't take it anymore since he knew a little about what happened between Hunter and Emily.

Now that it turned out Hunter couldn't care less about Emily, what was the point of coming for him?

And it was even more pointless if it was for the sake of the company.

The old man had lived his life in pride. He felt so bad to see him humbly begging for help.

"Milo, why are you so stubborn?"

Sawyer turned around to him and frowned, "Hurry! Go tell them I need to see Hunter Jackson."

Butler Milo could only do as he required when the elevator in the lobby suddenly opened.

Several people walked out and the most eye-catching one was Hunter.

"Milo, hurry. Push me over," Sawyer required.

"Oh... alright." It took Milo a while to react.

“Hunter, can you spare ten minutes for me? I need to talk to you."

Different from last time, Sawyer took the initiative.

This was his best chance. He wouldn't do it at all if it weren't for Emily.

Even the Gale Group wasn't worthy of his humbleness.

"Mr. Gale, bad time. I really have to go now," said Hunter, his lip curling.

"It'll be just ten minutes. No, five minutes."

Sawyer hated himself for saying this. If it weren't for Emily, he would never ever say anything like that.

But Emily was the priority.

Perhaps the past should be settled as well.

He had kept it to himself for so long that it still haunted him every now and then.

"Hunter, I only need five minutes of your time. If you don't change your mind, I will never bother you again."

But Hunter didn't even want to hear a single word, "If you're here for the Gale Group, I'm not available. I'm sorry."

He walked passed Mr. Gale and was about to leave.

"I'm here for Emily!" Sawyer turned his wheelchair around and happened to see him freeze.

It looked like this brat was not heartless after all.

"I know where she is. Do you want to know?"

"Where she is has nothing to do with me."

Hunter seemed to be resisting something with one step ahead of him.

Just as the old man was about to despair, he suddenly turned around and looked at him, "Five minutes."

It had already taken them one minute to get to Hunter's hotel room.

Sawyer had Butler Milo wait outside. Hunter waved his hand and Liam also stepped back.

There were only the two of them in the room.

"Where is Emily?"

Hunter didn't have the slightest bit of patience for this old man.

Although he was never enthusiastic towards the elders, he would at least be polite.

But to Sawyer Gale, he left off all the manners and courtesy.

This was the man who killed his grandmother!

"I don't know." Sawyer didn't want to lie to him.

Hunter's face darkened, "How dare you lie to me?" he said angrily.

"Hunter, I'm here today to tell you the truth."

"I can find out the truth myself. You don't have to tell me!"

Indeed, he had been investigating.

As long as he found the evidence, he would sue him for kidnapping and murder.

As for the so-called truth, what truth did he expect from a murderer?

He wouldn't believe a single word.

"I didn't kill your grandmother, nor did I kidnap her. In fact, your grandmother and I were good friends."

Sawyer sighed. Those were the memories he didn't want to recall.

But now he had to.

"Hunter, your grandmother did come looking for me back then..."

"No she didn't! It was you who kidnapped her!” Hunter insisted.

Sawyer sighed again, "It's not like that. The reason why I haven't told you the truth

is because of... your grandma."

"Bullshit!"

"Hunter, let me show you a letter."

Sawyer knew it was only his words against Hunter's, so he took out the letter that he had kept for decades.

"You may not recognize your grandmother's handwriting, but your grandfather definitely will."

Although the letter was well preserved, it did look a bit old.

Hunter stared at the envelope. He might not recognize Grandma's handwriting, but it was indeed similar.noveldrama

Hunter had seen her handwriting before. Some of them were still in grandpa's study.

He finally took the envelope and took out the letter.

His face darkened at the first glance.

"Mr. Gale, this letter must be a lie. How dare you fake it?!"

It was a love letter, written by a woman, for her beloved man.

In the letter, she said she was painful because she married a man she didn't love.

She also knew there had been some misunderstandings because of her husband's scheme.

She married her husband only because she was so angry with the other man,

only to regret it after she found out about the truth.

She wanted to return to the man she loved and ran away with him.

In the letter, everything was about her affection for him, how much she missed

him, and how regretful she was back then.

She expressed her eager to run away with him.

"You don't have to lie to me with a fake letter. Do you think I'm buying this?"

"If you don't believe me, ask your grandfather if he had framed me and made me

the criminal. Your grandma and I were childhood sweethearts, and we had once decided to be together forever."

The past still brought deep sorrow to old Sawyer Gale.

"Back then, I had to go out to the sea. We had agreed that when I came back, we would get married. But when I came back, I was so shocked to see her already married to your grandfather."00000

Chapter 448: He Won’t Have a Rough Day if He Doesn’t Care

“Later, I found out that your grandfather lied to your grandmother, saying that I cheated on her. And she was so simple that she actually believed it."

Dozens of years had passed, and Sawyer now wasn't a young boy who would be screwed up with his love life.

However, he would still feel bitter when he mentioned Matriarch Jackson.

His voice sank somewhat, as if he had returned to that year.

"I wanted to explain to your grandmother. But when I found her, she was already pregnant."

"I couldn't let her bear the pain. She is in poor health. If she knew the truth, she would break down."

"So I only swallowed it and let her believe I betrayed her. This way, she could feel at ease to stay with your grandfather and give birth to his child."

That was a different time.

At that time, it wasn't easy for a married woman to get divorced and marry another

man.

If she did that, her reputation would be ruined for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Sawyer decided to bear the pain by himself. A few years later, he also got married and had his own children.

"As time passed, everything seemed to have gone. I didn't expect a letter from your grandmother one day."

Sawyer looked at Hunter. He knew that it wasn't easy for Hunter to accept this at once.

But what he had said was the truth.

"When I received this letter, I was already married. It's impossible for me to abandon my wife and children, and then leave with your grandmother."

"So I just kept this letter and didn't write back. But your grandmother came to see me."

"As for the picture of your grandmother and me, I don't know who took it by chance. However, at that time, I was going to send her back, not kidnap her."

Hunter did not say anything. Sawyer didn't know whether he believed it or not. Anyway, Hunter seemed to be in a bad mood.

Sawyer was frightened by Hunter's cold eyes!

Although he had seen all kinds of circumstances and people, he didn't dare to look straight into Hunter's eyes.

"Hunter, this is the truth. I feel sorry for your grandmother, but I really didn't harm her. We separated after I saw her off at the train station."

"But I didn't expect that not long later, she would..."

His voice was a bit hoarse and choked with emotions.

Hunter noticed that, but he wasn't touched.

"You came to me and told me those things just to ask for mercy for the Gale family?" he snorted.

Hunter was stubborn.

It was not easy to change his mind.

Actually, Sawyer now still didn't know if it was right for him to come to see Hunter.

Would Hunter care about Emily?

However, she was pregnant with his child...

"Hunter, no matter whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with Emily. If you still have feelings for her, please..."

"I'll treat your granddaughter the way you treated my grandmother."

Hunter sneered and sat on the sofa, looking askance at Sawyer.

"No matter whether what you said is true or not, you have hurt my grandmother. If

it is true, my grandmother came all the way here to see you, but you treated her so coldly? You hurt her so badly!"

Sawyer didn't say anything. He had indeed wronged Hunter's grandmother, but he had no choice back then.

He couldn't abandon his wife and children. This was the greatest responsibility of

a man.

"You can leave now. What you said to me today won't change my mind."

Hunter looked at the door and shouted, "Liam."

Liam immediately pushed in, followed by Milo. Milo walked to Sawyer and said, "Mr. Sawyer..."

"Let's go home and give him some time to think about it."

Milo nodded and wheeled him out.

Before they walked out of the door, Hunter coldly said, "I will continue to

investigate it. If I find that you have something to do with my grandmother's death,

I won't let the Gale family off."

Milo stopped. Sawyer was expressionless, and his voice was calm.

"As you like. I have a clear conscience."

Milo snorted and wheeled Sawyer out of the door.

Hunter could hear Milo's complaint coming from outside, "I've told you that Hunter

is hard-hearted. What's the use of begging him? Emily won't like such person."

With many things on his mind, Sawyer interrupted Milo, "Shut up."

Then they walked away.noveldrama

Liam looked at Hunter and didn't know what was going on. "Mr. Hunter, are you still going out?"

Today, Hunter had a lot of things to do. He had made an appointment to visit several construction sites.

But now, he seemed to have no intention of going out.

As his assistant, Liam had to remind him, "Mr. Hunter, it's getting late."

However, Hunter ignored him and just stared at the letter in his hand indifferently.

Liam was a little curious and wanted to see the content of the letter.

Hunter's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "If you still peep at the letter, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Liam hurriedly looked away and said, "I promise that I didn't see a single word!" Hunter ignored him.

What Sawyer had said today made Hunter wonder whether his stubbornness was right.

He couldn't accept it.

But even so, there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that this letter was true.

Had grandpa really deceived grandma and then married her?

Perhaps this wasn't important anymore. The important thing was whether Sawyer really had nothing to do with grandma's death.

If so, was Hunter wrong to have been firmly convinced that Emily was the granddaughter of his enemy?

Somehow, Hunter felt very irritated.

He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet. He opened a bottle of wine and wanted to pour himself a glass of wine.

But when he picked up the wine bottle, he suddenly didn't want to use the glass.

He raised his hand and directly drank the bottle of wine!

Liam knew that he was in a bad mood, but Hunter would never share his sorrow with others. So Liam didn't know how to comfort him.

Besides, Hunter didn't need any consolation.

He drank the bottle of wine in one gulp.

Then he waved, and then the wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Liam was uneasy.

However, Hunter suddenly sneered, "Even if I'm wrong, so what? She is just a woman who has betrayed me."

He was thinking about Emily again. If he could really be heartless, he wouldn't be

so bitter these days.

Just as Liam wanted to say something, there was a knock at the door.

He walked over and opened the door.

"Mr. Vincent," Liam said in surprise when he saw the person beside Vincent, "Mr.

Henry?"

Chapter 449: Pain Might Not Be a Bad Thing

"Brother." Vincent walked into the room followed by Henry without a word.

Hunter looked back at the two men and finally his eyes fell on Henry.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just as upset as you are."

Henry went in and sat down on the sofa.

Obviously, he was tired and didn't want to joke.

"Are those men sent by Mr. Henry?" Liam poured a cup of tea for them.

Henry snorted disapprovingly. "Someone doesn't want to find Emily. I'll have to do it myself. I'm afraid that if something really happens to Emily, someone will hate himself in the future."

"With your friendship with her, you need so many reasons if you want to find her."

Hunter was upset right now, and Henry still embarrassed him, which was quite remarkable for Hunter not to hit him.

Vincent sensed something was wrong on both sides. There was something to be said.

"Brother, you misunderstood Henry and Emily."

He tightened his lips and squeezed his palm. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Vincent thought as long as Emily left Hunter, Hunter would be fine.

No one else could threaten him, and no one else could be his Achilles' heel.

But he neglected one thing that Hunter may be safe, but he lived very unhappily.

For months he had not seen his brother smile.

On the contrary, he was colder and less approachable than before.

He even didn't want to open his heart to talk to them.

His heart blocked all people and he was unwilling to believe anyone.

Such Hunter was like but a walking dead.

On the surface, he lived a noble life that everyone would envy, but when the night fell, only he knew how he felt.

He really didn't want to see his brother go on living like this without a soul.

"I'm sorry."

It was Vincent who begged Emily to leave Hunter on the island.

Because his brother, for this woman, almost died several times.

He had no choice but to do so.

Little did he know that this would cause Emily to miscarry and leave her so desolate!

"When she went back, her legs were covered in blood, and the doctor said she couldn't keep the baby, and it almost claimed her life!"

Henry's chest was stuffy. Thinking of Emily's despair at that time, his heart was like being pierced by millions of knives!

"Liam, get me some wine."

Not tea! The more he drank the tea, the more bitter the tea was!

Liam, also a little lost, walked to the wine cabinet and brought him a bottle of red wine.

He had thought of it millions of times, but he did not expect that this matter would be related to Master Vincent!

Hunter's face... No, Master Hunter looked so gloomy now.

Vincent thought he was going to be angry, irritable, and even to hit him.

But no. Hunter was not doing anything.

He just looked at the glass in his hand, full of wine, but did not taste a single mouthful.

But Henry, who seldom drank, emptied the bottle of wine in one breath.

Then he leaned back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and laughed, sorrowfully. "Can you believe I'm really in love with her? But I'd never touched her once." Hunter tightened his grip of the glass.

Henry closed his eyes, and his mind was full of that thin figure.noveldrama

She was so helpless, so poor, and yet so lovable!

"Do you know how fond she is of children? She's such a good girl that she wouldn't even hurt a little animal. How could she hurt her own baby?"

'Hunter, had you become stupid? If you love a woman so much, why don't you know anything about her?'

"She was so devastated and hated herself for not saving her baby. I couldn't even see any life in her eyes at the time."

"I thought that would be all. Since she didn't want to drag you down, I would take care of the poor girl from now on."

"But she can't accept me. Who she loves is you, Hunter!"

Hunter's cup crumbled in his hand with a loud crack.

"Shut up!"

His voice was hard, cold, heartless, and even cruel!

"Do you I would believe that?"

"Hunter..."

"I don't believe a word of it!"

He went to the door. With a bang, he knocked the heavy door down with his foot and walked away.

Liam tried to catch up with him, but Henry said, "Give him some time to confess."

"It's..."

"He's not a weak woman. What are you afraid he'll do? Are you so contemptuous of Master Hunter?"

Henry almost roared.

Mater Henry, who was always gentle, was so terrible when he got fierce.

Vincent had mix feelings when he looked at the broken door.

Henry went to the bar and fetched another bottle himself.

"He understands everything, but he just hates himself."

So, there was no use of chasing after him. It would only make him more irritable.

"Mr. Henry, do you have any news back from the people you sent?"

In fact, Liam had his own people looking for Emily at that time.

"No, the girl has decided to hide from us. It's not easy to find her out."

As a matter of fact, everyone knew that Emily had a computer geek by her side,

Joe.

But rumor has it that Hunter had already called Joe out and beaten him almost to death.

Emily's friends were so loyal to her. Since Joe wouldn't tell where Emily was, even

if he bit him to death, he couldn't elicit anything from Joe.

What Joe was good at was helping people hide information.

Once the information of Emily's departure information was hidden, it was not easy to find it out.

"Did you get in touch with Joseph?"

"Joseph has no idea where she was. The Gale Family has sent men to look for her."

Vincent really hated himself. Just because listening to him, such a good girl had ended up like this.

If he could, he wouldn't have said those words to Emily, and he wouldn't have begged kind girl.

If he had not been so cruel at the beginning, now, perhaps, Hunger's children were about to be born, and Hunger and Emily would live a happy life.

What the hell did he do?

"Emily has never blamed you." Henry put down the empty bottle, turned around, and looked at Vincent.

"I don't know what Emily is doing for, but she's always feeling guilty about you, like

she owed you a lot in her last life."

"Me?" Vincent shook his head. He had never gotten in touch with Emily.

He never believed in those things of previous life.

But Henry, all of a sudden, believed in a term called reincarnation.

Perhaps, a lot of things were destined to happen.

"Let your brother feel painful once. It might not be a bad thing."

The deeper the pain, the more he would cherish it.

But he hoped the pain would be like the spring after the bitterly cold winter.

He hoped that until the end of the winter, it would usher in the lovely and warm spring.000000

 

Chapter 450: A Family of Three

Two years later.

A famous scriptwriter, a new play, won the best screenplay award this year in City

N.

However, the writer never showed up at the awards ceremony.

No one knew who she was, and she had never even been seen in public.

From the beginning of submission to the end, she had published two play. One was popular and the other won the awarded.

But for two whole years, she had never showed up.

Her name was Hunger, but it was a pseudonym.

She even didn't show up in such an important award ceremony.

The next day, there was gossip throughout the circle.

Who was Hunger? Was it male or female, young or old?

Many people were very curious about it.

"He must be an old bald man, I guess."

"No, if he is an old man, he wouldn't miss the chance to be famous even if he is bald."

"That's right." Others agreed.

"It might be a fat woman, fat and ugly."

"A cripple, perhaps..."

The girls in the office were talking about Hunger, which always lived only in the legend.

"Okay, office hours, no chitchat, and get to work."

The minister came over with some papers, went to the desk at the corner, and dropped them.

"Emily, put these papers in order for the manager."

"Yes." Emilia Gale, sitting in the corner, nodded, took the papers and went back to work.

"Look at Emily. She never joins your discussions. She does as much in a day as you do in a few days!"

"Well. Aren't we at work now?"

Smiling, the girls turned to look back at Emilia Gale, who was still busy.

A pair of large, thick, and old-fashioned eyeglasses covered almost half of her face.

Those freckles on her face made her look even uglier.

Yeah, well, if anyone looked like her, she would just have to work hard and make up for it.

So, everybody won't envy or be jealousy of Emily because the minister praised her.

After all, no one envied an ugly person.

"Emily, would you like to go to dinner after work?" Someone suddenly suggested.

Another girl said quickly, "She is a good mother, and she has to go back to her babies after work. How does she have time to go out with you?"

"Well, then, we won't take with you."

As soon as it was six o 'clock, several girls gathered their things and left with a smile.

Along the way, Emily could still faintly hear them gossiping.

"Well, how does Emily find such a handsome husband when she's so ugly?"

"Yeah, if I were her husband, I'm afraid I'd divorce her long ago."

Emilia Gale pretended not hear it.

At half past six, she finished her job.

She packed her things and left the company.

Just as she walked out of the company door, a little girl more than a year old stumbled over.

Emilia Gale most freaked out.

"Watch out! Oh, you're going to frighten mother to death! Slow down!"

She also ran past and help the little girl in her arms.

She raised her head, stared at the happy man behind the girl, and complained, "Why not taking good care of her. She just learned how to walk!"

"Not long? It is months ago!"

The man didn't agree with her. "You are too cautious. How could a child grow up if she goes through the difficulties to smoothly?"noveldrama

Emilia Gale glared at him, only to see the baby in her arms break free and dashed off a short distance, "Balloon..."

Just taking two steps, she fell on the ground.

The man who had been making fun of Emilia Gale for being too nervous had

turned pale at the sight of the baby falling and lunged at her.

He picked up the girl who had just fallen down and looked at her nervously.

"Basia, did you hurt? Where is it hurt? Tell Papa!"

"Balloon... Balloon..."

Basia didn't feel bad at all. All she wanted was a balloon in the distance.

"Who made fun of me just now Aren't you more nervous than I am?"

Emilia Gale threw a blank look at the man, who, after putting Basia down, still followed her closely, smiling at the corners of his lips.

He was very nervous, but he couldn't help it, as he cared about the baby girl...

"Balloon... Balloon..." Basia was just one year old. How did she know to follow her mom and dad down the road?

Seeing the colorful balloons, she would forget everything.

The man behind her was handsome, and wherever he went, he would attract

attention of countless girls.

The man was no one but Terry.

"Okay, daddy will go get the balloon for you."

"Don't mess around. The balloons are others'. Don't take it."

As Emilia Gale chased them, the wind blew away the bangs that fell on her freckled face. It was once so familiar to others.

Later, when the freckles had been washed away, everyone had become so accustomed to her beauty, and no one remembered her ugly side.

Now that familiar feeling was still so strong.

Terry was running after Basia, but he didn't notice anything. He suddenly stopped and turned around.

It was crowed on the square, countless people, countless faces, and countless figures.

But he felt a cold touch, and when he turned, it disappeared.

"What's the matter, Terry?" Emilia Gale came over and looked back with him.

But there was nothing strange behind them. Was it not always the same?

She had had a feeling of being stared at. She had such a felling before when she first arrived.

Probably because she felt guilty, and she was always suspicious.

But later, as her belly grew bigger, and Basia was born, she put all her attention on Basia.

As for other things, she didn't care.

"Nothing." Terry bent his head and put his arm around her. "I just think too much. Don't take it to heart."

"Then don't worry too much."

"Well."

Emilia Gale, who disappeared two years ago, was Emily. She grabbed Basia by

the hand and said, "You can't play with these things, little girl. Mommy would buy

it for you."

How did Basia know what to play and what not to play?

All she knew was that Bobo was coming.

"Balloon...Balloon..." Basia shook off Emily's hand again as the balloon came

closer to her.

She strode forward with her short legs and went to a pile of balloons.

"Basia..."

Terry and Emily were right behind her. How come all these balloons were really getting close to Basia?

Terry looked sullen. He grabbed Basia in his arms and pulled Emily over his shoulder.

He stared at the pile of balloons with guard!000
