Old Man Merlin's eyes were a little red, seemingly reluctant, as if treating his own family, he touched Aldana's hair, "Aldana, if you have a chance in the future, come see me again. The Virgin Mary will bless you, wish you a smooth journey."
Aldana reached out and gently embraced the old man, Old Man Merlin held her silently for a moment before letting go, watching her enter the airport.
Norris Moore bought the nearest flight, which was to Chicago, she pushed Aldana into the airport, as the plane gradually ascended, the small town gradually faded from view, and she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.
She and Aldana might have to live like this for a long time in the future.
Turning her head to look at the pale Aldana leaning on the seatback, she extended her hand and gently held her fingers.
This time, she would do everything she could to protect her.
She would not let her get hurt again.
