Noah couldn't believe his ears. "Real-really?"
Actually, he did not harbor other intentions. He just thought a woman like her would not be able to survive alone in the mountains and he did not want anything t o happen to her. But Jane felt warm. She had been thoroughly hurt by Alex. Now all she wanted was a quiet and peaceful life, no matter how poor and simple it was.
She said gently, "I...Since I was a child, my parents didn't want me. I always wanted a mother to love me, from now on I'll acknowledge you as my godmother. When we’re back in the north, I'll find a job, even dishwashing will do. I'll take care of you."
"Oh, my dear girl..." The old lady was delighted. Life had been tough for her. Especially after she went to South City, she was forced to labor and even bottled u p her anger. But in the end, she lost her only grandchild. The old woman had lost her meaning and purpose in life. But at the thought of her son, she knew she had to survive. And now, luckily, she got a daughter. Her mood brightened considerably.
After making their decision, Noah carried his old mother on his back and led Jane, and the three of them gradually walked out of the mountains and ridges and left the metropolitan City of South City. In a city closest to South City, they boarded the slowest
train and returned to their hometown in the north.
At the same time, on the other end, Alex searched every nook and cranny of South City for Jane, even searching through a very small and inconspicuous motel. Later, Alex also hunted through those hidden and cheaper hair salons. But still, he could not find even a single trace of her. He grew more and more desperate every day. A month had passed since he went home to Kidon City. Back home, he had a ton of work commitments to attend to, but Alex was not in the mood to deal with any of them at all.
