Chapter 223 Unexpected ident 2
Nanny Daisy was right about the snow. A few dayster, it snowed in City P. I couldn’t go out because
of my twisted ankle.
Resting for a couple of days in the vi, I did nothing else than reading and sleep. So I did put on quite
a few pounds.
My ankle was recovering well and finally, I could go out for a walk - But City P became snowy already.
Dennis was busy at the moment and he didn’t have time to care for me. I was standing outside on the
balcony, looking at the snowy white world.
The scene in front of my eyes reminded me of what Diana had said when we were younger. She
always wanted to settle in a city where she could enjoy every snowy day in winter when she grew older.
Before I knew it, the new year was only a few days away now. I thought about what Alex Thomson had
mentioned earlier that he and Diana would being back at the end of the year.
I took out my phone and dialed his number. Someone picked up after quite a while.
It was Alex. His voice was a bit hoarse, “It’s snowed in Country M here. Did it snow in City P?”
I nodded, “It did. It has been snowy for two days and the snow piled up so high. The whole world turned
purely snow-white. Mhm... Are you guysing back soon?”
After a brief pause, I couldn’t hold back my suppressed emotions, “I’ve missed you guys.”
On the other side of the phone, Alex sounded like he had caught a cold. He uttered, “Our n was to
go back at the end of the year. But we’ve only been here for less than three months and now it’s in
freezing winter. We fear that the long travel would feel terrible and time-consuming. So... We might
have to wait until springes when it’s warmer.”
“What about Diana? She hasn’t called me or returned any of my calls. I’ve missed her.” Looking at the
falling snow outside the window, I felt a bit sad.
“Diana’s with the baby - They are taking a nap after lunch. I will ask her to call you back when she
wakes up.”
I frowned and said seriously, “Alex, be honest with me - Is everything alright with Diana?”
If things were alright with her, it wouldn’t make sense that she never replied to any of my messages. It
wasn’t one or two messages - It had been almost three months and there were no responses at all.
The other side of the phone went into a short silence. I was getting anxious, held on to the phone, and
asked, “Alex, are you guys doing okay? What’s wrong with Diana?”
“She...She’s fine. It’s just that she hasn’t had a full recovery after having the baby. That was why we
havee to Country M, for better healing and full recovery.
Every time you called, she told me not to mention anything to you.” What he had said seemed
believable.
With the distance between us, for a moment I wasn’t sure if Alex was telling the truth. I added, “Alex,
send me your address in the Country M. I will pay you guys a visit in a few days. I want to check on the
baby too.”
“It’s freezing out here. Don’t bothering over - You are not in your best health condition, and you
might get sick after the long trip. It’s much colder here in Country M than in City P. We will be on our
way back when the baby grows older. Diana should be doing much better by then.”
Alex said all these in a hurry. Hearing there was a baby crying in the background, Alex hurriedly said,
“The baby is crying. I am going to go check on them and send you some baby picturester. I’ve got to
go.”
Alex hung up immediately. I spaced out for a while holding the phone.
What happened at the George’s Memorial Hospital had been troubling Dennis and kept him busy. I
couldn’t help with anything so I decided not to bother him.
When Yara arrived at the vi, it was still snowing heavily outside. On her way getting out of the car
and into the vi, she already had snowkes all over her head in a few minutes.
Nanny Daisy saw Yara and seemed surprised, “Ms. Yara!” Nanny Daisy had been serving at George’s
family for such a long time, it made sense she had recognized Yara.
Yara was in surprise, “Nanny Daisy, what brought you to City P?”
“Mr. Dennis and Ms. ra are here. And Mr. Dennis told me toe over and take care of ra
because she has been feeling under the weather. Are you... How have you been these years, Ms.
Yara?”
Yara nodded. She smiled at me when I was about to get up and greet her.
“ra, where was Dennis?”
I signaled Nanny Daisy to make some tea. I looked at Yara and said, “Dennis has been busy at work
and he hasn’t been home for days. Ms. Yara, I can take a message for you and let Dennis know.”
Hearing me call her Ms. Yara instead of Aunt Yara, she frowned, “ra, are you still mad at me about
what happened before?”
I smiled, asked her to sit down, and said, “No, not at all. I am not used to calling you Aunt Yara. Haha!”
Yara sighed lightly, “ra, I hope we can move forward from what happened before. I am the daughter
of Freddy George and I just want to make sure the George family is growing bigger. Dennis’s second
aunt-inw hasn’t been able to have kids since she was injured years ago.
And I assume you know about my current condition and that I won’t be able to have kids. The George
family has all our hope on Dennis now. We wish to see him start a family soon. So when you lost your
baby, Olivia reached out to me and said she was pregnant with Dennis’s kid, I had to do something. I
couldn’t bear the thought that the next generation of the George’s would end up in a bad ce. But I
would never expect... Sigh!”
Herplexion was a little haggard. She looked like she had lost a lot of weight even though she was
covered in thick clothes. Her well-kept face had a few new wrinkles.
She seemed aged more than thest time I saw her.
It seemed that there was no need to beat around the bush on this topic. After a pause, I said, “Would
you like to speak with Dennis? I’ll give him a call.”
Saying so, I took out of my phone and was about to call Dennis. But Yara immediately said, “No, you
don’t have to call him. I am here hoping we can talk.”
I was surprised, “You are here for me?”
She nodded, and her pale white lips moved slightly, “ra, you know, too many things have happened
to the George family recently. There are fewer people in the Gibson family now. Now that Yank Gibson
was gone, Gloria Shone followed. Now, I’m the only one left in the Gibson family. Your Uncle Gibson’s
memorial service is now held at Gibson’s vi. There are so many things happening at the same time in
the Gibson family and I wish I would have the time to hold the funeral for your Uncle Gibson sooner.
ra, you married Dennis, and that has made you part of the George family. I am aware that Dennis
has been swamped by thepany affairs. I can’t help him with that. But I can stay out of his hair. But
ra, can you do me a favor by any chance now that you are not as busy?”
So, all Yara actually wanted was a favor from me after the big speech she just had given. I was a bit
hesitant at first, but eventually, I said, “After what happened to the Gibson family, Dennis and I should
have lent you a helping hand. Unfortunately, I was injured recently, and Dennis’spany also got in
some trouble. If there’s anything you need Dennis and me to help you with, please do let us know. We
will see what we can do.”

One of the hardest things to do in the world was a funeral. The Gibson family was a famous family in
town, but it was sparsely popted. So Yara, the young widow, practically had a lot to handle.
Originally, all of this was what Hank Gibson should have done. But after Gloria Shone left, before Hank
had time to grieve, he had to deal with the funeral of his parents, which was probably the saddest
tragedy in life but something he had to face.
Hearing me say so, Yara felt relieved. She smile and said, “Just a small favor, ra. I am just thinking -
Gibson’s vi is huge and now seems quite empty. Hank isn’t around, and I am living in there all by
myself. I would love yourpanion for a few days. Would you consider sleeping over at my ce and
keeping mepany until after your Uncle Gibson’s funeral?” lightnoveldaily
