After leaving the hospital and returning home, Bella noticed Leonard lounging in the courtyard, soaking up the sun. She greeted him, "Are you not going out today?" Leonard glanced at her lazily. "Nothing to do, so why go out? Someone cby looking for you earlier and left a business card. Here." Bella walked over curiously and picked up the card. The moment she saw the n"Simon Kennedy“, her pupils dilated, and she hurriedly pocketed the card, a bit flustered. “Thanks.” With that, she quickly turned and retreated to her room with a mixed emotion.
The nSimon had appeared in the letters Dorothy left behind. He was her father.
She had planned to find him and give him the things Dorothy had left behind, but she never expected him to find her first. Unexpected situations always caught people off guard.

"Bella... I'm sorry for what I did to you and your mother..." Bella flared up instantly. "You're not worthy of mentioning my mother!" Simon sighed. “I know, I'm not. It's my fault that you both suffered. Believe me, I'll do everything I can to make up for what I owe you. I'm staying at a nearby guesthouse for now. Let's meet if you want to." Not long ago, Bella had resolutely decided to find Simon. But now that he suggested-meeting, she felt a wave of hesitation.
Simon, her father whom she had never met... How much did she despise him? She wasn't sure how to face him.
She remained silent for a long time. Simon seemed to sense her inner conflict and gently said, "Take your tand letknow when you're ready. I'll be here for a few days. Take care of yourself out there. If you heed money, just ask." Bella found his belated concern laughable and hung up the phone angrily.
As night fell, the constant chorus of insects and frogs created a symphony in the fields, Bella couldn't sleep. She took out Dorothy's box and examined it repeatedly before sending a message to Simon, setting a tand place to meet.

As she was about to leave with the letters, Leonard suddenly emerged from the house. "Where are you going?" Bella was a bit uneasy and replied, "I... I couldn't sleep, so I'm going for a walk." With a cigarette hanging from his lips, Leonard said, "I'll go with you."
Bella felt a bit awkward. "That's not necessary. I'm quite familiar with the area, lide back soon, but thanks." Leonard said nothing more, watching as Bella walked away. Reluctantly, he decided to follow her at a distance.
