“If Edward comes, please tell him I’m waiting eagerly.”

After repeatedly asking the restaurant owner who my family often visited, I left the store holding Leo’s hand.

After preparing breakfast for Daniel, who was out of his mind in the morning, I took Leo to the store we often went to with our family.

It wasn’t to buy something, but to ask if they saw Edward and to ask to convey my words.

“Sister, my legs hurt.”

“Your legs hurt? Do you want me to carry you on my back?”

“Yes!”

When I lowered my body in front of Leo, Leo quickly got on my back.

“Ugh!”

He was really heavy at the age of eight, but not enough where I can’t carry him on my back yet. But I don’t think there will be a chance next year.

‘I’m glad I’m more mature than my peers.’

People who are taller than their peers and don’t know me due to a storm earlier never see me as 14. They think I’m about 17 or 18

“Sister. When will Eddie come?”

“I know, aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Let’s hurry up and go home. I’ll make you a cabbage omelet.”

“Yeah.”

Leo diligently walked home while touching my head from behind.

As soon as I got home, the door suddenly opened and Daniel popped out.

“I got letters.”

Daniel had as many as five letters in his hand.

“Oh my god!”

There must be a story that one out of five will help us.

I swallowed my saliva and took the letters. Then I quickly went to my room and began to open the letter.

Daniel looked at me with anticipation. And…

“Oh…”

I covered my mouth. Looking at Daniel’s silver gray eyes, my heart was about to collapse.

How does all five begin with sorry? Is everyone trying to tease me?

“What did they say? Did they say they will help us?”

I gave strength to prevent my hands from shaking. But I couldn’t even manage my expression. So I hugged Daniel who approached me.

“Sister?”

“Everything will get better. Daniel, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. I’m going to make it like that.”

My voice speaking in that way was wet with tears.

Daniel, who was quick-witted, must have already realized what I meant.

I quickly cleared my throat and got away from Daniel. Then I quickly turned around.

“I’m going to make Leo lunch first. Let’s think about the rest later.”

I hurried to the kitchen. As soon as I closed the kitchen door, tears burst out.
