Emily paused, swallowed the food in her mouth, then looked down and said, "The night I came back from the cemetery."
Vincent asked, "Why?"
Emily understood his meaning.
When she just woke up, she remembered the things that had happened before and even when she was little. At that time, she was so dependent on Donna and called her mother eagerly, but she couldn't forgive Donna easily.
His father's death had something to do with Donna.
How could she live with Donna happily?
However, the days when she lived with Donna reminded her of the childhood days when her father was absent. It was Donna who made her happy, kept house, and taught her to talk, sing, and draw, all of which made her have a happy childhood.
It was her mother who sang the nursery rhyme "Snail and the Oriole Bird" to her, instead of his father.
The first name she wrote was not Eliot, but Donna.
Why did she forget about it?
But it would be unfair to her father if she forgave Donna.
Emily was stuck in a dilemma.
She needed to make choice between her beloved father and her unforgivable mother.
Before Emily could make up his mind, her mother had died.
Vincent looked at her and said, "Cry out, there is no one here but me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emily threw herself into his arms. It happened so suddenly that Vincent was directly thrown to the ground by her. The guards hiding in the dark were shocked by the scene. A moment later, they all picked up their phones and kept taking pictures.
"Vincent, I said that I wouldn't forgive her, but I have already forgiven her in my heart. I've heard everything she said that day so I tried to understand her and found many reasons for her abandoning me back then ... However, if I do this ... will my father blame me..."
Vincent touched her hair and said, "No, he won't blame you."
Emily said, "Actually, I want to talk to her, but I'm afraid that my father will be unhappy if he knows. Vincent, am I very stupid? Now that my father has died, how can he be unhappy...
"But I feel that as long as I talk to her, it is to tell everyone that I forgive her and Jackson who killed my father ... I don't want to do be like this ... But I don't know what to do...
"I thought that I wouldn't cry even if she died. However, why am I so sad that I want to cry when she died..."
Her eyes were all red and swollen from crying. Then she said ruefully, "You are all I have left..."
Vincent hugged her, gently touched her back, and murmured, "You are my only one."
It was dark.
Emily was tired from crying and fell asleep in Vincent's arms.
A few fireflies flickered in the darkness. They flew in the air, passed over Emily's sleeping face, revealing her swollen eyes, red noses, and pursed mouth.
Vincent's heart suddenly melted. Then he leaned over and gently kissed her lips.
Guard A hiding in the dark said, "Damn it! You don't kiss until now! Do you capture the moment?"
Guard B hiding in the dark said, "I don't! I was busy swatting mosquitoes just now!"
Guard C hiding in the dark said, "Who dares to take photos with the flashlight! If Mr. Vincent finds it, we will die!"
At this point, guard D took a few pictures with clicks and a bright light that was comparable to the double flash of the car. Then he put down the phone calmly.
The other guards on the side were all shocked by guard D's behavior, including Rex who was not far away.
Everyone remembered that Rex was punished by Vincent because he had accidentally taken a photo with the flashlight. They did not expect guard D to be punished hurriedly. The others looked at guard D with pity and just waited for the order to throw him into the mountain.
Unexpectedly, after Vincent got up with Emily in his arms, he waved at guard D and said, "Show me the photos."
Guard D quickly turned on his phone and handed it over. He slid the screen to show the photos to Vincent very considerately.
"Not bad. Send it to me when you get back," Vincent said as he glanced at the photo.
Then ... guard D was rewarded with one day off.
The guards hiding in the dark were shocked.
Rex hiding in the dark was confused.
On the way back, Vincent suddenly remembered what Donna said to him a few days ago.
"I know Emily is back. Although she hasn't called me mother these days, I am still very happy. Even if she has been accompanying me out of pity, I am still happy. I am willing to die now as long as she's with me."
Emily slowly woke up in his embrace and stared at him. After a long while, she asked, "Vincent, did you plan to feign death before?"
Vincent stopped and looked down at her, "Yes, but I didn't expect that I got in a car accident, and you were involved in it."
