Chapter 1421


    Sheridan pursed his lips and drove the car without saying anything. After the car entered the


    highway, he suddenly said, "Do you hate your parents for not being by your side all these years?"


    I was taken aback by his question. After all, with my understanding of him, he was someone who


    rarely asked about trivial matters.


    I gave him a small smile and answered, "I would be lying if I said that I didn''t hate them. However, I


    am grateful that I was brought up by my grandma and I got married to Hendrix. Although my current


    life is not the best, I still have the motivation and passion to live my life to the fullest. Thus, I should


    be grateful to my parents for bringing me into this world. They probably experienced a lot of


    difficulties and hardships which led to them abandoning me. However, I still have so many things to


    look forward to in life, so I no longer hold a grudge against them!"


    He stared at me and said with some guilt, "I am also responsible for what happened back then. I


    shouldn''t have kept your father in the dark about your existence. If I had told him the truth, perhaps


    you would''ve been brought back to the Moore family earlier."


    It was all in the past, so I didn''t care about it anymore. I smiled faintly, "Mr. Lawson, most of the


    time, everything that happens to us is already fated. Don''t dwell so much on all the ''what ifs''."


    He smiled and nced at Abby, who had fallen asleep on myp. He spoke, "Her fate must have


    taken a drastic change after she met you."


    I shrugged my shoulders and stopped talking. We had no control over any oue in life.


    After seven long hours of driving, everyone was exhausted. Even though we had left early in the


    morning, we only reached the vige after the sun had set.


    The weather in December was brutal. The moment I stepped out of the car, I was greeted by a


    strong chilly breeze. Abby was still drowsy as she had just woken up. Taking in the familiar


    surroundings, she said, "Madam Reid, we are finally here!"


    I nodded. I helped her with her luggage and walked through the dirt road. Fortunately, it hadn''t


    rained recently and the dirt was dry. It was much easier to walk on this time.


    It was particrly dark, so when I arrived at Gail''s house, I could hardly see where the entrance


    was. Seeing that the sky had already turnedpletely dark and there was no trace of anyone


    inside the house, I was worried. Where did everyone go?


    Abby was familiar with this ce after all. She stood outside the door and shouted for her parents.


    Fortunately, the dark door soon swung open and the timid voice of a little girl rang out from inside,


    "Abby? Is that you?"


    Abby hesitated for a moment and then answered delightedly, "Amanda, it''s me. Madam Reid


    brought me back." Then, the little girl rushed into the house excitedly.


    There was absolutely no light inside the house. Sheridan turned the shlight on and we came face-


    to- face with a seven- year- old child. He couldn''t help asking, "Kid, where are your parents?"


    The girl took Abby''s hand and answered, "They went out. They haven''te back."

    The shlight was bright enough. In the pitch-ck house, there was a pot of vegetables on the


    floor and it looked like it was already cold. There was no fire in the stove.


    ncing at the child shivering in her thin clothing, I couldn''t help but ask, "Why are you wearing so


    little? Why don''t you start a fire?"


    The child was timid. She was holding onto Abby. She tugged on Abby''s clothes with some envy,


    looked at me and said, "Mom said we weren''t allowed to use the coal when they''re not home, so I


    always hide under the quilt and wait for them toe home to start the fire."
