"Eleanor..."
Nina's sweet baby voice came from the other end of the screen, warming Eleanor's heart.
"Nina, did you miss me?"
"Yes..."
After nodding, Nina swept her phone camera around her. Then she pounced on the screen, covered her mouth with her little hand, and whispered, "Eleanor, that man brought me to this cemetery. I saw your picture here. But he says the person in the picture is not you, but my mom... Eleanor, is the person under that tombstone really my mom?"
Nina blinked her long eyelashes, innocently staring at Eleanor on the screen.
Seeing Nina's innocent face, Eleanor's heart, for a moment, felt a pang of pain. She didn't know if she felt sympathy for Nina, or because the heart she inherited from her sister ached at the sight of her daughter.
She raised her hand to cover her aching heart, her voice trembling as she reassured Nina, "He's lying to you, don't believe him."
Getting a response from Eleanor, Nina finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression fading. "My dad once told me, mom went to heaven and will come back to see me when I turn five. Although she didn't come on my fifth birthday, I believe she will come back to see me..."
Eleanor forced a smile and asked Nina, "Do you know what heaven is?"
