"Nelly?" In the living room, Nelly sat on the sofa while Mindy handed her a cup of warm water.
"I remember you don't like coffee or tea," Mindy said with a gentle smile. “I wasn't sure if that's changed." Before coming here, Nelly had imagined countless possibilities. After more than 20 years of wandering, Nelly thought Minnie should have been worn down by life, stripped of the radiance she once had.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter more than two decades, there was no trace of hardship on her face. She still looked as innocent and charming as ever, even gazing at Nelly with that sfamiliar, trusting expression...
Could that mean... Minnie didn't remember what she had done? The reports did say that Minnie had lost her memory and had wandered into Lumberville.
Lost her memory, huh? Nelly exhaled deeply at the thought. The anxiety that had been gnawing at her eased, replaced by a newfound sense of calm.
Nelly smiled as she asked, "How have you been all these years? We nearly went crazy searching for you, especially Mom and Dad..." With her usual warm smile, Mindy replied, "I've been doing well. You haven't changed a bit, Nelly." "I still remember the day you disappeared. The weather was so nice, and we went out shopping together, and then..." Nelly cautiously brought up that day, watching Mindy's blank expression closely. Seeing no signs of recognition, she finally let out a breath of relief.
"Mom and Dad have continued to search for you all these years. They thought you'd been kidnapped and taken abroad, only to find out later you'd been there for decades.
"It's only recently, by sheer coincidence, that we got news about you and were able to reunite. Truly, the heavens were watching over us..." Nelly's voice trembled with emotion, and tears glistened in her eyes. Meanwhile, Mindy listened on the side and felt her heart aching.
The previous evening, her parents had shared bits and pieces of their struggles over the decades but had glossed over the pain, mentioning only the lighter details.
It was now, through Nelly, that Mindy learned the true extent of the effort and hardship they had endured to find her-something she couldn't even begin to quantify.
Seeing the tears welling up in Mindy's eyes and sensing her guilt and sorrow, Nelly shifted the topic. She spoke of Mindy's favorite stamps and tins of candy, which were still kept safe in their old home.
"I still remember when we went to Grandma's house. Every time, you'd save the prettiest and tastiest candies for me. But as your older sister, I failed in my duty. I lost you and took so long to find you again." Nelly let out a self-deprecating laugh. It looked as if her expression was heavy with guilt and sadness.

We're reunited now, aren't we? There's no need to blyourself-it wasn't your fault...” To Mindy, being able to see her family again was already the greatest gift.
As Mindy softly reassured her and Nelly subtly wiped at her tears, Aren and Fiona descended the stairs.

Nelly quickly stood. "Dad, Mom." Meanwhile, Aren remained silent.
Fiona, however, walked straight to Mindy. She positioned herself protectively as though shielding her daughter from harm.
Mindy was puzzled by this. "Mom?"
Nelly's eyes flickered briefly before she forced a smile. "I heard Minnie from was found, so I flew over from Elgerson as as soon as I could. I didn't realize you both stayed here last night..." Mindy nodded. "Yeah, Nelly and I were just reminiscing about old times."
"Oh? What were you talking about?" Fiona's smile returned, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. Mindy answered, "We were talking about re talking a visiting Grandma's house and fighting over the candy..." Fiona's face softened as she listened, her heart warming. A faint smile spread across her face. However, when she glanced at Nelly out of the corner of her eye, noticing her lowered gaze and unreadable expression, her heart sank again.
For reasons she couldn't explain, Fiona harbored a lingering unease about Nelly, It was an instinct, one she trusted deeply. And her instincts had never been wrong. Yet, without any concrete evidence to support her suspicions, she had no choice but to suppress them for now.
