Zoe soon reappeared in the living room with an envelope.
“Here you are. He left this to you, Zoe said while handing the envelope to Odalys.
Odalys was taken aback.
“Did Lee leave this to me? He knew that I would come” Odalys asked in shock.
Zoe gave Odalys a bitter smile. Then, she poured Odalys a glass of water.
She said, “Well, he is straightforward and devotes himself to his job. To find the truth, he almost got himself killed.
“After you saved him and our daughter, he told me that you are the lifesaver of our family and that he may be in danger if you come here.
“He left me this letter, told me to keep it safe, and emphasized that it was for you. Ms. Stone, he trusts you. Please help him out if he is in danger.” Tears welled up in Zoe’s eyes.
Zoe tried her best to hold back her tears, so they didn’t roll out of her eye sockets
It was an honor to marry the policeman and the soldier, but their wives suffered a lot in reality.

“Mr. Hersey, here you are” Odalys’s lips moved.
Odalys held her breath while clenching her fists.
Zoe pushed the note back to Odalys without sparing one glance at it
He left it to you, so it is yours. I am not interested in confidential information. I wish him to come home, safe and sound” Zoe then chuckled.
Her chuckle dripped with bitterness and helplessness.
Odalys clasped Zoe’s hard tightly and said firmly, “Mrs. Hersey, you have my word that he will come home safely.
“Thank you” Zoe said and quickly grasped Odalys’s hand.
She appeared calm, but her soul was in torent.
Red–eyed, she didn’t want to agitate Odalys with her tears, so she turned her head. Right then, hot tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. “Mommy, why are you crying? Norah asked when she emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of strawberries

After one glance at the strawberry, Odalys looked at the smiling child and then squatted down.
“Norah, come here! I will draw a cute picture on you. What do you think? Odalys talked with the child in a soft voice.
Norah nodded without hesitation.

admiration on her face
Before the explosion, she had seen a golden light..
Later, she was advised by her father to keep that golden light a secret between her and Odalys. Besides, she learned from Lee that the golden light was her guardian. From then on, she had wished to see Odalys again.

She didn’t want to be a burden even if she couldn’t help Lee.
“Creat, thank you so much, Zoe said sincerely.
