Brodie held the brown envelop, his hands shaking slightly.
He opened it and saw the familiar handwriting. He suddenly felt his eyes moist.
...
Dear Cindy:
It's mom.
Do you remember me? Although we haven't seen each other for two years, you can't forget what your mom looks like, right?
There's a lot of crabapple blooming here now. It's very beautiful.
I saw your picture in the newspaper and you were playing in a Japan's piano competition. You got the first prize. I'm happy for you. Even if I am not with you, you are still a good girl. I'm so proud of you.
I'm sorry. I was not there for you in the past two years, but believe me, I am always caring about you and supporting you from afar.
I miss you.
I miss you very much, my dearest angel.
...
Most of these letters were similar in content. It didn't make too much sense, but every single sentence Luna wrote showed how much she missed Cindy.
She didn't say a word about Brodie.
But Luna was still alive! She now lived abroad and sent letters to her!
This news made Brodie completely excited! He could feel a thrill in his veins.
Brodie believed that Luna must see the news about Cindy when she participated in the competition abroad. Luna also knew that Cindy was cured.
Though Luna knew all of this, she didn't come back.
Brodie knew that she did so because of him.
However, even if she didn't come back, he could go abroad to find her.
He would find her at any cost.
Steve went through the formalities very quickly and bought the plane ticket to Los Angeles. The plane would take off at four in the morning, which was the earliest. Before heading to Los Angeles, Brodie went to Cindy's bedroom.
Cindy was still soundly asleep. She looked graceful and dignified now. Her expression was the same as Luna's when she was quiet. Seeing that, Brodie felt a bit touched.
Brodie lowered his head and had a quick kiss on Cindy's face. "Cindy, daddy is going on a business trip. Be good at home, okay? Listen to the butler and Uncle Steve."
After saying that, Brodie was about to leave. However, he saw Cindy awake. She had a sleepy expression with half-closed eyes. Cindy felt complicated now, but she was still expectant. She said, "Dad, are you going to bring mom home?"
Cindy was mischievous. She would only call Brodie "dad" when she had something important to talk with him.
Brodie nodded seriously. He patted Cindy's head and said, "Yes. Go back to sleep. Be a good girl at home. I'll bring mom back soon."
Cindy looked very serious.
"I'll wait for you two back."
The little girl's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Brodie's heart was melted, and he promised, "Absolutely."
