The reflection in the girl's eyes was full of his shadows. "And now, I have something even more important than just my dreams."
The man's heart felt like it was hit by a large impact. "Are you sure?"
The girl smiled sweetly. "My job is done. I just want to be with you and Leo now."
If it were in the past, she would have regretted it if she were to retire from the peak of her career, but after returning from death's door, she understood what were the most important things in her life.
The man kissed the girl's forehead tenderly. "Leo and I will always support you no matter what decision you make."
Jennie's body required more rest right now, and returning to her former state was impossible to accomplish in such a short amount of time.
He was worried that Jennie might not be able to accept the fact that everyone had forgotten her after she woke up.
He did not expect the girl to surprise him once again.
"Oh, Leo is coming back soon, isn't he? Let's go pick him up!" Jennie looked at the time and exclaimed.
"Okay, let's go and pick Leo up."
"Wait, let me change my clothes first! Is there anything I can change into here?" She searched frantically and just put on a jacket.
"Yes, wait."
...
After a moment, Jennie changed into a light pink dress, her long hair left loose behind her back.
"Is it okay?"
"Looks great."
"What about my hair?"
"Excellent."
After they got into the car, Jennie kept on checking herself in the mirror. "Hon, do you think Leo will hate me? I've made him wait for so long..."
Jennie was really anxious for the entire journey.
"Don't worry, he won't," Lisa comforted.
"In the past year... has Leo been alright?" Jennie asked hesitantly.
"He's been good, but he misses you a lot."
Jennie was feeling uneasy. A lot of time had passed after all.
Maybe Leo forgot about me...
Maybe he will distance himself...
Did he get taller?
Maybe Leo likes some other Aunty now...
...
In the midst of her overthinking, they reached the school entrance.
It was not Leo's kindergarten that they stopped at. It was a primary school. Leo was currently in first grade.
There was about ten minutes left before school was over. Lisa parked by the roadside quietly.
Time passed by very slowly...
Ring!
Finally, the school bell rang over and over again as it echoed across the sky.
Voices of the children started to come out of the quiet school as they ran out of the classrooms happily...
Jennie looked among the students and parents...
After another ten minutes, there were fewer and fewer people around the entrance, but there was still no sign of Leo.
Jennie was a little worried. "Why is Leo not out yet?"
After a while, until there was almost no one else at the entrance, Jennie saw a familiar silhouette.
The little guy had his bag on his back as usual with no expression at all. He was holding a square box in his hands.
Jennie's tears started falling the moment she saw the little guy. "Leo has gotten taller..."
"Mmm, 6 cm taller."
