She was the reason why Caleb became a police officer.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't found any information regarding his sister after working so many years in the police force.
Caleb helplessly held the photo in his hand, and he slept another restless night.
The next morning, Caleb opened his eyes when the sun rose, and he realized that he had slept with the photo in his hand all night.
He gently touched the face of the person in the photo with his finger before putting the album back in the drawer.
Then, he got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and went downstairs for a morning run.
He heard cheerful laughter coming from the kitchen right after he went downstairs. He noticed there were mumblings every now and then in the laughter.
Caleb walked toward the kitchen out of curiosity, and he saw Abby helping the cook. She picked the vegetables and communicated with the cook using sign language.
Although Abby couldn't speak, she could still smile and laugh. But, her laughter didn't sound as pleasant as a normal person's.
"Oh, you poor lady. My son is deaf, and I couldn't communicate with him before I learned sign language. That's why I can understand you now."
Apparently, the cook happened to know sign language. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't understand Abby.
Caleb felt touched and relieved as he stood by and listened to their conversation. He turned around and went out for a morning run after that.
An hour later, Caleb returned. Abby was still in the kitchen helping the cook.
So, he went upstairs for a shower before changing into a new set of clothes. He smelled the aroma of scrumptious food coming from the dining room when he got downstairs again.
"Good morning, Cal."
Jimmy was there, and they greeted each other.
"Good morning, Jimmy," Caleb replied.
Then, Jamie and Daisy also came downstairs.
"Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw, Master Shaw, Young Master Shaw, it's time for breakfast," Zoe said.
"Right,"
