Chapter 199
They left the hotel together and found a nice restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, Debra quietly watched her daughter. Sure enough, she noticed that Stacey was much quieter than usual. Debra felt helpless. But they couldn’t rush this kind of thing; they might as well make the best of it. Thinking this, Debra filled Stacey’s plate with a lot of food and urged her, ‘Eat more. heard this kind of food is very nutritious and good for your
skin.
Stacey replied, “Huh?”
“Me too!” Kevin chimed in eagerly, grabbing a small spoon and trying to scoop up the food that his grandmother had just served.
Lillian got anxious seeing her little brother do that and raised her spoon to join in as well.
Stacey quickly intervened, guiding the two children away to prevent them from knocking over the table. Debra didn’t help. she just watched her daughter manage the kids. Sometimes, when she was busy, it was easier not to think about too much, and she would feel better.
After dinner, Debra took Stacey shopping. The experience was enjoyable. Debra pushed Stacey into the fitting room to try on various outfits. Although Stacey liked shopping, she wasn’t as enthusiastic as her mom.
After an evening of fun, when they finally decided to head back, the entire family was clearly in a good mood but also very tired. They made a beeline for their rooms to shower and sleep.
The
e next day, the family planned to take the children to the amusement park.
Hayden was busy with work and had to negotiate several partnerships, so he couldn’t join them. Instead, Stacey and Debra took the kids to the park.
When they arrived, the car stopped at the entrance to the amusement park. Many children surrounded them, and Lillian and Kevin’s eyes lit up with excitement at their surroundings.
Stacey first took the children to buy balloons. The moment Lillian got a balloon, her happiness seemed to double! Suddenly, Lillian noticed a girl with white hair nearby. Mesmerized, she stared at her curiously. When Stacey realized this, she quickly squatted down and covered Lillian’s eyes. “Lillian, you can’t stare at her like this. It’s rude, okay?”
“Mom, that girl is so beautiful. She looks just like an angel!” Lillian exclaimed, not really paying attention to her mother’s warning, taken aback by the girl’s beauty.
Stacey smiled. To many, albinism might be seen as a condition, but she found it beautiful. Whenever she encountered someone with albinism, she couldn’t help but be captivated by their unique charm–the way Lillian described it: an angel from heaven wandering into the world.
However, many albinos can be sensitive and may feel uncomfortable being stared at.
Well, yes
again.
she is pretty. But Lillian, you can’t stare at others like that; it is considered rude, okay?” Stacey reminded her
“Why?” Kevin asked, not quite understanding.
“She looks good, just like the girl in cartoons!” Kevin added excitedly.

Stacey thought for a moment and said, “Maybe she doesn’t like being stared at?”

“I’m okay with it.” A child’s clear voice suddenly piped up nearby Stacey was stunned and turned to find the little albino girl, who had just been stared at by Lillian, had approached them and said this seriously.
Stacey quickly looked up at the girl. She was adorable, with skin and hair as white as snow due to albinism. Her features were delicate and beautiful, almost angelic.
The little girl turned to Lillian and smiled, then stretched out her hand and said earnestly, “Hello, my name is Loretta Hoggard.”
“Loretta Hoggard?” Stacey was surprised. “Are you Zentiscape too?” she asked out of curiosity.
At that moment, a stunning woman rushed over. She grabbed Loretta’s hand and scolded her gently, “Loretta! You’re running around again!”
“Marissa?” Debra exclaimed, recognizing the woman.
Hearing her name, Marissa looked up and smiled at Debra. “Debra, you’re here! Hayden told me I’d be accompanying you to the amusement park today. I own this amusement park, so you can enjoy it for free!” Marissa turned to Stacey and added. with a smile, ‘Are you Becky? Nice to meet you. I’m Hayden’s cousin, Marissa!”
Stacey quickly reached out to shake hands with Marissa. “Hello.
Marissa kept looking at Stacey and, after a moment, smiled and said, “Becky, we met when we were kids. We were great friends back then. You loved playing with me the most. Do you remember?”
Stacey was speechless. She truly didn’t remember any events that took place before she was three years old.
“Becky was too young to remember, Debra said with a smile. She felt a pang of discomfort at the memory. If only Becky had been older when she got lost, she might have remembered her family and home and could have found her way back. Unfortunately, she was too little to recall anything back then.
“I’m sorry, I… I don’t remember much about my childhood, Stacey admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed. However, hearing that they had been friends made her less anxious.
“Why are you in Daprein? You still live here… Stacey remarked, admiring the amusement park. “It’s amazing that your opened such a big park!”
