After three days of returning, Evelyn had sorted out all her emotions and finally decided to meet the people she should have met long ago.
Her first destination was the residence of Ben and Lucy, where she had lost some memories, but it didn't affect her feelings for the elderly couple much.
The car stopped outside the Hub Apartment, and from the moment they got off, Huston held her hand. The old residential building had no elevator, so they climbed up to the fifth floor. Standing in front of the familiar door, she hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the doorbell.
Even before the door opened, Alivia heard Lucy's anxious voice from inside, "Who is it? Coming."
Before Lucy finished her last word "coming," the tightly closed door was pushed open from the inside. As the gap widened, the familiar figure gradually appeared in her sight.
They hadn't informed Lucy in advance about their visit, fearing she might change her mind during the journey, so as not to disturb the elderly couple.
Now, inside and outside the door, their eyes met. Evelyn looked at the few months that had passed, causing Lucy's hair to turn white. Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, "Mom..."
Hearing her calling, Lucy seemed to finally believe that the person in front of her was not an illusion. She stood still in a daze until Evelyn came forward and embraced her. Only then did she dare to believe that this was not a figment of her imagination.
"Evelyn?" She seemed unable to believe it, raising her hand to tightly hug her daughter, patting her back with her hands that had calloused over time, "Why did you come back so late? Your father and I were so worried..."
