He had so many reminders to tell me. The longer he talked, the more reluctant I grew for him to leave. Hence, I held onto him even tighter than before. Eventually, the time came for him to board the plane. When Evan came over to give us a final reminder, only then did I grudgingly loosen my grip on him.
My eyes welled with tears as I watched him walk away. Before I could stop myself, I rushed towards him again and shouted at the top of my lungs, "Hendrix, you better come back as soon as you can! I'll be waiting for you!"
He turned back to look at me with a handsome smile on his face.
We must take every goodbye seriously as we never knew when we would meet again. After so many years, I couldn't help but wonder, if we never said goodbye, would we never have to wait?
After six hours of surgery, Anne's operation was a success. Not only that, but Abby had also reappeared after the surgery. What surprised me the most wasn't her sudden reappearance, but the fact that Susan was the one who took her away.
Looking at the sisters, I smiled faintly and said,
"Since you've made your choice, then we'll part ways from now on!" It made total sense. Abby was only a child, and her health would be greatly affected once she underwent the surgery. At least, this was the best outcome for everyone now.
Susan and Abby both bowed at me as a sign of gratitude before Susan started speaking, "Miss Reid, I know that you have helped us a lot, in every way you could. We shouldn't have bitten the hands that fed us. But Miss Reid, I'm really sorry for what I've done. I know it's not possible to ask for your forgiveness, but I can help you a little. You might want to take a look at the Emperor Club's basement. Perhaps it will be a piece of useful information for you. Other than that, Bobbie's superior was the one behind all of these. People like him must be eliminated, or else there will be more children being exploited like us in the future."
