When her mother passed away, she was only five. By then, she didn't know what cancer or death meant. What she knew was only that her mother was sick seriously and she had been living in the hospital.
She wanted to be with her mother, but then her grandpa suddenly came and took her away, her grandpa said her mother wanted her to spend the summer vocation in grandpa's home. When the summer vocation ended, her mother would be discharged from the hospital.
But after spending a month in grandpa's home, mother didn't show up. There was only a little box.
A few years later, she began to know what death was. Then she often cried. She regretted leaving with her grandpa. She should have stayed with her mother in the hospital. She lost the last chance to say goodbye to her mother.
But in this video, she saw her mother bidding farewell to her.
And she also saw her father. Six years ago, father killed himself suddenly. She missed him so bad.
But in this video, her parents both said goodbye to her. And she was finally given the chance to say goodbye to her parents.
Amber took out the CD and put it on her chest gently. It was her precious. Now she couldn't stand it anymore and burst into tears.
She kept crying for a long time before she felt quite tired and slept on the desk.
The next day Amber was wakened up by the doorbell.
She opened her eyes and sat upright to find her wrist, back, and neck were quite sour and painful. She was almost unable to move them.
Then she put the CD away carefully and got out of the study towards the door with one hand rubbing her neck.
When she opened the door, she saw Cole, who was smiling with a stuffed animal in arms, "Good morning, Amber!"
Seeing him smiling like a little boy, Amber also smiled, "Good morning, welcome in."
But Cole stood still and seemed to be stunned.
Amber frowned, "What happened? Why don't you get in?"
Cole finally understood what she said and stared at her surprisedly, "You are no longer in sorrow anymore?"
"Yeah," Amber said with her mouth twitched.
Cole began to feel curious, "How did you make it? You've accepted the fact?"
Amber nodded, "Yes, I have."
"Why is that so fast?" Cole took her wrist and led her to the sofa. Then he pressed her shoulders to let her sit down and continued, "Tell me how you did it?"
He knew she would accept the fact as it was a fact after all.
She wouldn't discard her name Amber Reed anyway.
But it had never occurred to him that she would accept it in merely one night. He thought it would take her a lot of time to do it.
Amber took a piece of tissue to rub her eyes.
She cried last night and she didn't wipe off her makeup on face. So, now she felt her eyes quite uncomfortable.
While rubbing her eyes, she replied, "In the box I found a CD. There was a video in it shot by my parents. They knew I will find out the truth sooner or later so they were afraid that I would be haunted by the fact that I am not their own daughter so they shot the video to comfort me. They told me I am their daughter even if I was not born by them. They loved me so much."
Amber smiled as she thought of her parents.
With his eyes fixed on her, Cole nodded, "I know."
"Then I accept it easily," Amber looked up at him, "They treated me as their own daughter and I won't deny their love for me. I'm not that cruel."
Cole also sat down, "I'm happy for you. My mother and I were worried about you. My mother couldn't asleep last night. She felt really guilty about telling you the truth. She spent the whole night wondering if she had made the wise choice."
"Sorry, Cole. I shouldn't have bothered you and your mother. I will call her to inform her I'm okay," Amber got herself a cup of water and said apologetically.
