You Promised

The two of them spent their time apologizing to each other. Edith buried her face into her grandfather's embrace, and the elderly man continued to coax her as he always did when Edith was still young. 

George Bei had told him that Edith had seen everything in his room and was forced to tell her the truth. This time, Mike could no longer tell his granddaughter a lie.

Perhaps Edith sensed her grandfather's discomfort. In the end, she did not ask too many questions about her mother's death.

Mike began to feel more at ease and soon the two began to chat about unimportant things.

After spending a few hours with her grandfather, Edith finally left the hospital with Neil. When they returned to the parking spot, Assistant Shawn was no longer around and Neil had driven them both home.

Their journey home was quiet. Neil glanced at the woman beside him and knew that there were too many things in her mind at this moment.
