Chapter 1116: Chapter 116 I Will Walk With You All The Way_1

"Chapter 1116

This comment somewhat reassured Evelyn Thompson, who didn’t go after them.

The neighbor’s house was quiet with the lights on the first floor turned on.

As the man walked in, a scent of coffee assailed his nostrils.

A steaming cup of coffee, rich with the aroma of milk, lay untouched on the table.

He glanced sideways into the courtyard and found Chloe Collins.

She was playing with the dogs.

He didn’t disturb her, he just stood and stared.

She noticed him after a while.

"The coffee’s for you," she said.

Alexander Foster crouched down beside her, placing a hand on the head of the dog in her arms.

"You still awake?" He asked.

Chloe put the puppy back into its cage, "Didn’t you say you’ll tell me a story? I was waiting for you."

He flexed his lips: "Um, storytelling."

Chloe started to walk away, dropping one line: "Then, come in fifteen minutes. I will take a shower first."

"Chlo-Chlo."

She turned back, looking at him.

He stared into her eyes, having a lot to say but somehow unable to express it.

"That’s okay, don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

She blinked, quietly watching him, seeming to not understand.

But he didn’t say anything more.

She didn’t ask either, only saying, "If you’re not saying anything, I’m leaving."

Alexander Foster nodded.

After a while, the girl turned the corner and left.

Alexander Foster turned back to the cluster of puppies, recalling the look in her eyes when she was petting them.

She loved children.

And yet, it was this privilege that fate cruelly took away from her.

Fifteen minutes later, he knocked and went in.

Chloe was already curled up in bed, she motioned towards the wool blanket at the side of the bed.

"You can start now."

Alexander Foster sat against the wall with a blank document in hand.

Just like last time, he turned off the overhead light and only left the night light on.

The story of the night was heartwarming. The protagonist solved a case; the unit case’s protagonist was a tormented couple.

Chloe listened attentively, without interrupting him.

Either his voice was too comforting, or the story was too touching, she only felt warmth, as if sunlight was injected into her heart after she listened.

The unit story came to an end, Alexander Foster read out the words the male protagonist said to the female protagonist.

"He said, that’s okay. I love you, and not any accessory or value attached on you. It’s you. That’s okay. Hardship will eventually pass, I will walk with you hand in hand."

He closed the document and turned to look at her. His eyes seem to be covered with a layer of warm light.

Chloe kept her eyes closed, she had fallen asleep.

He stayed for a while, then leaned over, and gently kissed her forehead.

Whispering ’Good Night’, he left.

The moment the bedroom door was securely closed, Chloe Collins opened her eyes.

She turned over, lying flat.

A scene from an hour ago flashed through her mind.

Outside Master’s main building in a little garden, she slowly walked holding the hearing aid she had taken out of her ear.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep not long after, with a small smile on her lips.

In her dreams, she returned to the sweltering end of summer.

A pot of medicine in her hand, dark broth vaporizing through the spout as she poured a small bowl.

The man in front of her was noble and elegant, calm and composed. Though blind, he was able to accurately take the bowl of broth from her hands.

His fingers pressed on top of hers.

That was the first time she experienced the feeling of numbness without being electrified.

-

The next day, at breakfast.

Robert Foster is not at home, making the Fosters a lot quieter.

Chloe Collins had a class this morning and got up early to eat.

As soon as she got to the dining table, she saw Mane York.

Mane smiled slightly at Chloe: "Good morning."

Chloe’s face was impassive, hard to decipher, "Morning.""
