The old man paused, and the look on his face was even more lonely.
Lilly looked at the old man's hand, only to see that his fingers were missing a section, and the fingertips were bald.
She still clenched tightly and led the old man away.
The old man let Lilly hold his hand, and when he regained consciousness, he was already sitting on the bench by the Bondee Beach.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Lilly asked.
The old man's cloudy eyes were covered with a layer of wet mist, "I can't hold it anymore."
"I miss my wife very much. It's meaningless to live alone every day."
Lilly comforted, "However, if grandma is still here, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this."
The old man sighed sadly, "Yes, but what does it matter, she must have waited too long, I don't want her to wait too long."
Old Mrs. Crawford and old Mr. Crawford sat on the side, while Blake leaned on the fence by the sea, turned his head and looked into the distance, enjoying the sea breeze.
Lilly saw that his eyes no longer had the desire to live, he was really lifeless, with no vitality at all.
She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, I can help you and let you see grandma."
"However, you have to tell me what my grandma's name is and where she is from..."
The old man glanced at her, suddenly smiled.
"Are you here to listen to the story too?"
Lilly was puzzled, here to listen to the story too?
The old man said to himself, "In the past two years, there have been countless people..."
"However, if you want to hear it, I can also tell you one last time..."
It was the last time, and after this time, there would be no need to say it again.
The old man looked at the sea, and it was like this every time. It was painful to recall his memories every time, but after being asked about it, he could not help but tell about it.
Because he missed her, and it was more painful for him not to let it out.
"Her name is Nancy… Nancy Howard," The old man said quietly, "We are from Shukistan."
"We were very in love when we were young, and we often met to go boating by the lake. She likes the lake very much."
"I promised her before that I would definitely take her to the most beautiful and largest lake to row a boat, play in the water together, and watch the seagulls fly."
"In that year, we got engaged. In another year, when the new house in our hometown is built, we would go back… To live with our parents… To do something in the village."
"For this reason, we all worked hard, saved money, and imagined the life after marriage in the future. Although it was very hard, thinking about it this way gave us hope again."
However, no one expected that a sudden earthquake destroyed the entire city.
"Nancy was buried below..."
