Baby Zetty looked at Gale in confusion. Every word Gale had muttered today seemed to carry a profound meaning. Baby Zetty felt that Gale was a traveler, just like her. They were utterly wounded from head to toe and had spent half their lifetimes being exhausted.
"Gale, the things you’re saying today are so strange," said Baby Zetty.
Gale smiled at her brightly, but he did not respond to Baby Zetty's words and ran toward the sunflower field with open arms.
He embraced the sunflowers as they surrounded him.
Since Baby Zetty could not persuade him, she could only leave him be.
As for Baby Zetty, she searched for a good place by the mountains and rivers before digging out a pit.
With the help of a sharp stone, she slowly thumped the soil. Fortunately, the earth was somewhat loose and she could see a hole forming soon enough.
It was just that Baby Zetty's old hands were sluggish i n terms of movement, making her progress slow-moving. However, at this very moment, a pair of beautiful hands suddenly stretched over and grabbed hers.
Baby Zetty raised her gaze in astonishment and was immediately dumbstruck upon seeing Finn.
"Let me do it," said Finn with a gentle voice.
Baby Zetty was immensely bewildered and asked, " Why are you here?"
Finn explained, "Sir Ares is looking everywhere for you. And my young master thought that since we went our separate ways not long ago, he sent me out t o look for you as well. As expected, I managed to find you in such a place."
When Baby Zetty heard that Daddy was looking for her, her heart immediately felt extremely uncomfortable and conflicting. Daddy only wanted her back because he could not stop worrying about her.
However, she honestly did not want to go back there i n this state.
"Why is Sir Ares looking for me?” Baby Zetty asked.
Finn was stunned for a moment. He remembered what Jenson had said to him before leaving. "Finn, head out and search for Granny Winter. Tell her that Grayson and Andy are seriously ill right now, so we're asking her to come back and help them. If she’s a person of virtue and kindness, she'll certainly come back with you."
Baby Zetty was afraid that Finn would grow suspicious, so she simply made an excuse and said, "I want to bury some things.”
Finn was bewildered and stood up in a panic. He embarrassedly said, "My apologies, Granny. Perhaps I was bothering you?"
After he said this, he turned to leave.
However, Baby Zetty said, "You don’t have to leave, Finn.”
Finn was somewhat stunned and glanced at Baby Zetty’s bag. Only then did he remember that she had entrusted her treasure to Jenson earlier, so presumably, the things that she wanted to bury now were not any rare treasures but sentimental things. It seemed poetic.
Baby Zetty took the box of ashes out and looked at Finn with a bitter smile. "Since you're here, why don't you help me give a proper burial?"
Finn wondered whether this was a person or a thing. However, seeing Baby Zetty’s grim expression that was even somewhat laden with grief, he became solemn as well.
