Chapter 462 Vanessa''s Memory


    Although she missed her parents and she had the reason to cry, but Brian felt heart-broken when he


    heard Winnie''s cry and wanted her to calm down as soon as possible, so he began tofort her.


    "It’s all right. Megan is worried about you, so, don''t cry."


    However, Brain found that hisfort was useless, so, he could only think of other ways.


    "Don''t cry, I have a headache today after drinking. It is me who should cry."


    Brian said bitterly, let alone, his trick really worked. Winnie looked up immediately, showing a worried


    look still with tears in her eyes.


    "Does it hurt much? Go upstairs and I will give you a massage."


    Winnie took Brian''s hand to go upstairs, ming him as they walked.


    "I have told you not to drink, and you don’t listen to me. Now you have a headache. In the future, if you


    don’t listen, I’ll leave you alone to taste the pain."


    While Winnie was nagging, she didn’t forget to wipe her tears, but Brian was smiling behind her


    secretly.


    It was the weekend. Felix called and asked Brian to take the kids there, but he didn’t invite Winnie over


    the phone.


    Winnie knew that she was not weed, so she refused Brian''s invitation to go with him.


    "You and Rufus go there with Megan. I will take Vanessa to go shopping this weekend."


    Going shopping was obviously an excuse. She didn’t want to embarrass Brain actually.


    "By the way, convey my gratitude to the Chairman, and thank him for allowing me to stay with my


    children."


    Winnie did not forget to show her gratitude. Since she moved here, she had not contacted Felix.


    Although this did not satisfy her, Felix did make a concession for allowing her to stay with her children.


    "Take Vanessa with you. You can go shopping when youe back at night."


    Brian insisted and thought that Winnie could go before he got married officially, even though his


    grandpa didn''t invite Winnie. He wanted to go with her and wanted his grandpa to see how happy they


    were.


    "I’d better not go. The Chairman may talk about other things with you. It is not convenient if I go. I will


    go with you the next time."


    Winnie finally refused, because she hadn''t forgotten the fact that Brian had to get married with


    someone else.


    "Go ahead, don''t let the Chairman wait for you. It’s also time for me and Vanessa to leave."


    Winnie turned around and walked to her kids and said to them.


    "Be polite, and don’t make grandpa angry."


    "Yes, Mommy, we will be obedient."


    Both of them promised to be obedient, making Winnie relieved.


    Watching them left, Winnie was in a bad mood. In this case, if she could act as if nothing had


    happened, she might be a naive girl.


    There must be a reason why Felix didn''t invite her toe. He allowed them to be together and she


    had moved there for several days. In Felix''s eyes, it was time to talk about blind dates.


    Winnie drove to her parents'' cemetery with Vanessa. This time she neither cried nor looked worried.


    She came to see her parents with a smile.


    "Mom and dad, it is not easy for us to be together. You must be very happy to see us here. Vanessa is


    getting better and better. She is your pride and also mine."


    "Aunt Isobel went out for travelling, and she wille back after a while. I didn''t stop her, because she


    is getting older and has been working hard for me and Vanessa. It''s time for her to go out and have a


    rest."


    "You don''t have to worry about us. We can handle everything by ourselves."


    Winnie said so to give her parents peace of mind, but Vanessa burst into tears.


    "Mom and dad, I miss you."


    Although everything was fine now, but seeing her parents, Vanessa would still think of the difficult


    beginning, the tragic car ident, and the misery of her parents lying in blood.


    "Vanessa, mom and dad would be worried to see you like this. We have gone through the hardest


    times. Now that you could be strong during that period of time, how could you be so weak now?"


    Winnie held Vanessa in her arms andforted her.


    She also wanted to cry, but they couldn''t cry together or their parents couldn''t feel relieved in the


    heaven.


    Vanessa wiped her tears obediently, but she could not stop missing her parents.


    She didn''t speak or cry, but the scene of the car ident kept appearing in her mind.


    Winnie took Vanessa to leave when she saw that Vanessa had lost in a daze, for fear that she would


    be trapped in her memory and unable toe out.


    Until they got in the car, Vanessa got better.


    "Winnie, let''s go! let''s go shopping for new clothes."


    Hearing what Vanessa said, Winnie was relieved a bit.


    Winnie started the car and began to drive to the city.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Winnie tried to look for easy topics, such as whether there were any boys into Vanessa in the ss,


    and whether there were any boys that Vanessa liked.


    Winnie also encouraged Vanessa to fall in love and get along well with her ssmates.


    However, none of these topics attracted Vanessa.


    "Winnie, when our parents had a car ident that year..."


    "Vanessa, the ident belongs to the past, so, don''t think about it anymore. We are destined to live


    without thepany of our parents. No one can change this. What we can do is to ept the


    arrangements of our fate."


    After listening to Vanessa, Winnie knew that she hadn''t gotten out of the mood, so, she interrupted


    Vanessa immediately, for fear that she would talk about the scene of the car ident. She was even


    more afraid that Vanessa would be terrified and got sick.


    Winnie continued, giving Vanessa no chance to talk.


    "We are getting back on track now. You will be able to find a decent job in the future if you study hard. I


    can be with my two kids, and raise them by myself. We have paid off all our debt. Our life is getting


    better..."


    "Winnie, we haven''t paid off our debt. We haven''t paid off the victim’s loss."


    Vanessa interrupted.


    Although Winnie didn''t tell her about these, she knew them all.


    "I have prepared enough money for a long time, but the victim is not found yet. This is not a debt. Don''t


    worry about this, because the victim will show up someday."


    Winnie was not surprised that Vanessa knew about this, but she was worried that Vanessa would keep


    it all in her heart and put pressure on herself invisibly.


    "Winnie, you haven''t mentioned the car ident of our parents for so many years. I know you are


    worried about my illness. Don''t worry. I have the courage to face it now."


    "Since Rufus began to take me to school and bring me back every day, I had been missing our parents


    so much. I also want to face the car ident. Only in this way can I get out of the shadow."


    Vanessa just wanted to tell what Winnie and Aunt Isobel hadn''t asked for so many years, so that she


    could face it calmly.


    "Winnie, let me go ahead, and I will be fine."


    Vanessa looked at Winnie, asking for her permission.


    Despite what Vanessa said, Winnie was still a little worried.


    However, what Vanessa said was reasonable. Only when she could face what really happened on the


    scene could she get out of the shadow.


    Winnie found a safe ce to stop the car, on the one hand to let Vanessa say what she wanted to say


    calmly, and on the other hand to ensure that herself would not tremble when she heard the scene of


    the car ident.


    "Go ahead, and say whatever you want. Don''t be afraid. I’m here for you."


    Winnie encouraged Vanessa to face it.


    Vanessa kept silent for a moment before speaking.


    "I don’t know the reason for thepany’s bankruptcy. After the bankruptcy, I heard it when dad and


    mom were discussing about something. When I came home from school that day, dad and mom had


    already packed the luggage. Mom told me that we couldn’t live there anymore. And we would go to find


    you abroad."


    "Mom told me this euphemistically, but I actually knew that we were in debt and unable to repay, so we


    must go abroad and hide."


    "I followed them without saying anything. Dad drove the car, with mom in the passenger seat and I in


    the middle of the backseat. Dad was a little flustered. There were so many calls, and although dad


    didn''t answer them, he was disturbed by them. "


    "I had been staring at the speedometer, and I reminded father as soon as he drove too fast. But no


    matter how fast he drove, he didn’t exceed 120, so I didn’t understand how we crashed so seriously."


    Speaking of this, Vanessa couldn''t help crying with the scenes of the tragic car ident in her mind.


    "Vanessa, stop here if you couldn’t bear it."


    Winnieforted Vanessa in a hurry, but she herself was also stricken by what Vanessa said.


    Winnie hadn''t seen the scene of the car ident. When she got back after receiving the news, the car


    ident had been dealt with. She watched the photos and videos of the scene, but when she saw her


    parents lying in a pool of blood, she didn''t keep watching.


    At that time, how she felt could not be described in words. She just felt that her heart didn’t belong to


    herself, and she was unable to bear such a tragic scene.


    "I''m fine. This was the fact. It took so many years for me to ept it."


    Vanessa felt that she was fine, and continued talking.


    "Dad was distracted and hit the barrier first, and then the car was bounced back and hit the car on the


    right. The rebound force was not so strong, and there was a barrier as an obstacle... So, I didn’t


    understand why the collision could be so severe."


    "I didn''t know what was going on at the time. I saw that dad''s body waspletely deformed, and was


    covered in blood..."


    "Okay, that’s enough, and stop talking. Don''t let our parents experience this again, and don''t torture


    yourself."


    It was Winnie who couldn''t help crying this time, but she had tofort Vanessa.


    She knew that dad had gone miserably. When she heard Vanessa talked about the ident, she felt


    as if she was on the scene. The piercing pain made her feel that she had been sent into hell.


    However, the topic had already begun, and Vanessa couldn''t stop herself. If she stopped, she would


    not have the courage to talk about it again.


    "I called dad, but dad didn''t respond at all. Then I called mom, and only found that mom was also


    covered in blood. I became scared, thinking that they had all gone at that time."


    "Winnie...it was a car ident. How could it be so miserable? And we were held fully responsible."


    Vanessa cried and asked Winnie confusedly.


    For so many years, she had believed that there was no speeding and no vitions. Her father was not


    calm indeed but they shouldn’t be held fully responsible for the ident to pay a huge amount of


    "After all, we ran into the car from the opposite side, and we should take the major responsibility."


    Winnie calmed down and continued.


    "You may feel better when you speak this out, but don''t think about any other things that had been


    foregone conclusions."


    Winnie was still worried that Vanessa could not bear it. Now anything about the car ident was not


    important to her. What was really important was that Vanessa could walk out of the shadow and ept


    the reality.


    "Winnie, I miss our parents. How happy would we be if they were still alive!"


    Vanessa couldn''t control herself and threw herself into Winnie''s arms to cry.


    "Me, too."


    What could we do? They would nevere back. Never would they.
