Five years later.
At the international airport in River City, a tall woman with skin white as porcelain was catching the attention of many.-
Albeit there was a pair of big sunglasses on her exquisite face, it still failed to conceal her beauty.
The little girl she was holding hands with was as delicate as a ceramic doll, nobody could tear their eyes away from her.
"Mommy, is this the place where you grew up?" After glancing around, the four-year-old Sheryl Emerson raised her head and asked in a childish voice.
As she pushed her luggage, Charlotte replied, "That's right."
"So is daddy here as well?" Sheryl hesitated for a moment before she asked carefully.
Hearing this question, Charlotte's heart shuddered. She stopped in her tracks and crouched down to meet Sheryl's eyes.
For a moment, she did not know how to answer.
Five years ago, she didn't have the heart to abort the child. On the way to the hospital, she chose to escape.
Now, looking at the lively and adorable Sheryl, Charlotte was even more sure about her decision back then.
"Alright, mommy, daddy isn't very important anyway!" Seeing that Charlotte was quiet, Sheryl, who was perceptive and bright, comforted her mother.
"Lottie, Sheryl!" A familiar voice interrupted Lottie's thoughts.
"Aunt Jane!" Sheryl was the first to react. By the time Charlotte glanced over, Sheryl had already thrown herself into someone else's arms.
This was Anne Jane, Charlotte's roommate, who she had stayed with during her first year abroad.
As two international students in a foreign country, they appreciated each other's company. After learning about what happened to Charlotte, Anne treated Charlotte with all her heart. Over time, they became besties who were joined at the hip.
