After returning back, Dave came to hug me at
the airport.
When we were celebrating at the restaurant, I
found out that the restaurant was empty.
Dave asked the manager, and they had taken
over the whole thing.
He looked at me with shame.
“Sarah, I didn’t let this out.
I laughed and comforted him.
“I trust you, and it is simple for them to find
out what I am doing.”
My mom came in as she called out my name!
It made me tighten up and wanted to cry.
But the memories made me cold again.
She rushed over as I looked at her, the black
hair had white, and her face had wrinkles.
I was walking away, with Dave by my side, as
my mom tried to get on her knees.
“Sarah, I regret everything! I swear!”
She was crying as she was begging to see
what I was doing.

It made me feel nothing and wasn’t going to
forgive her.
I went to lift him up and said, “I am sorry, but
Tiffany is your daughter.”
“Please don’t say that, she is no real blood.
As she was saying those words, my feelings
didn’t change.
Family isn’t a trade.
“Sorry, but I can’t handle being rich, you can
find someone else.

As I left, she started crying hard.

“Sarah! You will always be my most loved
daughter!”
A year later, Dave came overseas to live with
- me.
We got married and settled overseas.
Soon, we had our first child.
During spring festival, when we went to see
Dave’s family, he showed me some news
about the Chinese media.
“Last month, Tiffany, wanted to get revenge
and went to the hospital to visit your dad and
poison him.”

“As she was being caught, she tried to
escape and fell to her death.”
It made me feel like it was just another
unrelated person.
One day, Dave’s dad brought something up.
He said he wanted me to come and see my
dad.
Dave held my hand and said, “Dad is right, Sarah, he is on his deathbed, and you should see him.”
I nodded.

As years passed, and I became a parent, I felt
like I had grown up a bit.
I took my child and went to see Dad as he
started crying.
“Please… can you forgive me!
I nodded and said, “Dad, can you please not
be sick?”
“I have been wrong this whole time”
With tears in her eyes, Mom looked at me.
I nodded.
く
With tears in her eyes, Mom looked at me.
I nodded.
“Happy New Year, Dad and Mom.
The whole room was filled with happiness and
tears.
A month later, I was getting ready to start
helping out at the group.
The mom then wanted to take my dad and
travel around the world.
I gave my hand to Dave and left.
