Listening to the children, Lisa tells herself that the children are talking nonsense.
But Lisa can’t help but be a little scared when she looks at their young but serious faces. She takes out her cell phone and begins to call Miya, but the phone doesn’t connect. She begins to panic, so she calls Alex.
“She’s fine.”
Alex is silent for a long time before Lisa gets the message.
“Why do the children say that she...” She can’t say that Miya is dead. She doesn’t believe Miya dies suddenly.
“They don’t know these things yet.” Alex looks up at Miya pouring someone a glass of water. “I want you to do me a favor.”
“What can I do for you?”
“Take care of Miya for me.”
She has been working hard. He hears that pregnant women get tired easily. He doesn’t know whether she is in good health or not.
Lisa is stunned. She listens to Alex and is surprised. The world is incredible.
At Alex Family’s old house, Augus is particularly happy when he hears that Miya has disappeared and is likely dead. He has no idea that the woman who might have died is his daughter-in-law.
He calls Grace right away.
“Uncle Augus, what can I do for you?”
Augus listens to Grace’s energetic voice and smiles, “Grace, you can talk to Alex recently. I hear that my disgraceful daughter-in-law is dead.”
“She’s dead?” Grace is lying in bed. As soon as she hears this, she sits up. “Uncle Augus, are you serious?”
“Of course. I’ve never lied to you.” Augus doesn’t even notice that his tone is a little soft.
Grace is excited but worried, “but, Uncle Augus, do you think I should do this? I pestered Alex as soon as his wife died. Will he hate me?”
“No, no, men are the loneliest after their wives die. It’s easy for you to take advantage of the situation. Don’t worry.” Augus smiles and says, “my wife knew me when Alex’s mother died. I was immediately attracted to her and I never thought of Alex’s mother again.”
“Really?” Grace is relieved to hear Augus say that.
“Of course.” Augus can’t help smiling again.
They talk for a long time.
But Augus didn’t expect Bella to be in the corner near him. It’s dark now. She’s here to call Augus for dinner.
“Mom, the food is going to be cold. Is Dad asleep? Why hasn’t he come yet?” Aileen is impatient at the table and comes.
But she finds that Bella doesn’t seem to see her. She pays no attention to her at all. Aileen sees Augus smiling happily through Bella’s eyes.
“Does Dad call that bitch again?” Aileen asks.
Bella still looks at Augus and says nothing.
Aileen knows she is right. She pulls up her sleeve and wants to step forward.
