She softened her gaze and asked, "And you? How is your depression..."


    "I''m off medication now." I smiled. "I found a psychologist in Frankes through a friend, and I''ve been receiving treatment there for the past two years. The results have been quite good," At least, even when I recall past events or s people from back then, I no longer panic, tremble, or have suicidal thoughts.


    After returning to Jston, the night unexpectedly saw Ryan at the hotel, my sleep had still been fairly good.


    "That''s great." na sighed in relief, nced at the time, and said, "I should head to the airport now. I''ll find a chance to exin things to him. and give him a psychological preparation." She stood up, pointed to the room where Danny was, and said helplessly, "As for my son, you might need to take care of him a bit more during this time. Frank doesn''t have the patience for him."


    "It''s fine. I like kids too." I smiled as I walked her to the door. "Since Danny is still at home, I won''t see you off."


    na winked at me. "Danny likes you a lot. If you could be his aunt, he''d be very happy."


    I cleared my throat, didn''t respond directly, and simply said, "Safe travels, and remember to let me know when yound."


    She gave me an "OK" hand gesture, then pushed her two suitcases out the door and walked away gracefully.


    As soon as I closed the door, Danny opened his room door, poked his little head out, and looked around. "Mommy?" "She''s gone." I couldn''t help butugh.


    na, as a mother, really had a carefree attitude, not even bothering to say goodbye to Danny before leaving


    Danny was used to it and shrugged. "She''s always like this."


    I picked him up andforted him. "But she''ll let us know she''s safe after shends, okay?"


    "Okay then, I forgive her!" Danny spoke softly, uggling against my shoulder. "Charlotte, are you done with your work? Can you help me with the puzzle? This puzzle that uncle bought is soplicated." I carried him and sat on the carpet, picking up the puzzle instruction


    manual to have a look.


    Goodness. Frank bought an adult puzzle for such a little kid.


    It was really inconsiderate, buying things so thoughtlessly.


    Surprisingly, Danny wasn''t annoyed at all and had alreadypleted one corner of the puzzle.


    I smiled and said, "Sure, let''s work on the puzzle together."

    It seemed that knowing it was for her gave me a lot of inspiration.


    I couldn''t quite exin why.


    Outside the window, the setting sun bathed the sky in brilliant hues of summer twilight.


    Danny and Iy on the carpet, working on the puzzle together with perfect harmony. Suddenly, my phone rang.


    I paused my work, straightened up, and looked at the caller ID, smiling


    as I answered, "Jack, what''s up?"


    It was a call from Jack


    On the other end of the line, Jack spoke with a warm tone, "Are you staying in a hotel or somewhere else?


    "You''reing to Jston?" I was a bit surprised and then said, "I''m not staying in a hotel. I''m at home


    Jack sounded puzzled. "Did you buy a house in Jston?"


    "Yeah, it was a gift from a friend


    I didn''t borate further, just asked with a smile, "What''s up. Jack? Do you need something?"


    ''Could you send me your location?" asked Jack


    "Sure."


    I agreed with a smile, sent him my location, and included the house number. "When will you be in Jston?


    "Right, I have a surprise for you


    "A surprise? What kind of surprise?"


    "You''ll find out when I get there " Jack paused for a moment, probably


    checking the navigation, and said. "About 20 minutes or so.
