Chapter 2

I intended to explain the situation briefly, but before I could utter a word, Sean turned his head.

He was drawn by a soft and joyous voice.

"Master, I understand! I know why it's like this here! Master, come quickly, I'll tell you!"

When looking at Luna, Sean's eyes were always so tender.

It had been many years since I had been gazed at so gently.

Sean and I were experiencing the seven - year itch.

He wouldn't mention divorce, nor would he think that he no longer loved me.

He just wasn't as interested as before, not as excited.

He regarded me as a stagnant pool.

When Luna entered his world, she was like a ray of light, illuminating him.

So he was enchanted and couldn't help but be kind to her.

I didn't care. I truly didn't care.

As long as he was willing to come back with me, everything would be fine.

"Okay, I'm coming."

"Yeah, it's nothing. Don't worry."

How I wished I could tell him that there was something, really something.

But he had already lifted his foot and left, never looking back at me.

But I wasn't willing to give up.

I didn't want Jenny to depart with eternal regret.

So I asked Henry to leave first, to keep an eye on Jenny's condition and contact me at any time.

I wanted to stay here and take Sean away.

But why was it so arduous?

The security guards no longer permitted me to call Sean, believing that it would disrupt many people. They warned me that if I made any more noise, they would eject me directly.

Later, I could only keep sending him messages and calling him. I told him that Jenny was dying and wanted to see him one last time.

Then, I was blocked on WeChat, and my phone number was also added to the blacklist.

He still didn't believe me.

I had never been more desolate than at this moment.

I waited and waited outside the door until I saw Luna coming downstairs to get milk tea.

"Master, I'm here to get the milk tea you ordered for me. Haha, Master, you have such a great memory. I only mentioned my preference once, and you remembered it!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. The road is slippery on rainy days. Be careful when you walk! Master, you're so nagging -"

When passing by me, she let out an "ah".

"Madam, you're still here? Haven't given up yet?"

"Alas, Madam, such tricks are so passé. You should read fewer of those old - fashioned romance novels. They're so silly."

Luna's seemingly innocent remarks were actually like countless needles piercing my heart, without any mercy.

But I had no alternative. She was the only person who could get in touch with Sean.

So I bowed to her and swore a solemn oath with my life to prove the truth of my words. I implored her to believe me and to go and inform Sean.

What did Luna say at that time?

She said, "Oh my god, how pitiful. Madam, don't worry. I'll go and tell Master!"

Then, Sean didn't come.

During my interminable waiting, I received the news that Jenny's condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse.

I didn't dare to linger. I rushed back to the hospital at top speed.

That was the last time I saw Jenny.

She couldn't even lift her hand. I didn't dare to hold her hand too tightly. I was trembling all over.

I was afraid that she would ask me -

Mommy, where's Daddy?

How should I reply?

She didn't ask.

She said to me in a hoarse and feeble voice: "Mommy, Jenny loves you, so much, so much..."

At the last moment of her life, she silently uttered that word -

Daddy.

My Jenny was calling for Daddy.

But her Daddy didn't come and wouldn't come.

My Jenny didn't get to see Daddy one last time and left this world with regret.

It was pouring rain that day.

And I had lost my daughter forever.
