Chapter 188 I Just Miss My Dad

Athena unlocked the door, pushed it open, and entered.

The yard, once organized by Romy, was now overgrown with weeds.

Fortunately, before Romy left, she gave many beautiful plants to the neighbors.

Otherwise, they would probably be withered by now.

The grape trellis, which the family used to cool off in summer, was also worn, and the vines were withered.

After a short stay in the yard, Athena opened the door and went into the room.

Most of the furniture was covered with white cloth.

Athena stood at the door and looked.

Sure enough, every corner of the house embraced the reflection of happiness, leaving Athena with a lump in her throat.

After a while, she walked into her mother's bedroom.

The bedside cabinet in the room was full of her mother's things.

She had few relics.

Except for some clothes and a small amount of jewelry, there was only one photo album.

Athena's grandfather liked taking pictures very much when he was alive.

In the photo album, most were photos of the family traveling.

Athena wanted to take the photo album when leaving here, but Romy refused.

For this reason, Athena went on a hunger strike for two days.

In the end, Romy said, "This is your mother's favorite. We'll leave here and need to leave something for her."

Athena cried all night, holding the photo album.

Then she carefully put it in the bedside table drawer and left with Romy.

Athena took out the photo album and gently brushed the cover.

There was graffiti she had drawn when she was young.

Athena took off the protective covering and carefully opened it.

She laughed with tears in her eyes.

The first photo was of her when she was just born.

Athena was like a crumpled ball in the photo.

Her mom wrote in the lower right corner. [My ugly baby.]

She looked at the photos one by one.

Looking at the various humorous notes written by her mother, Athena cried while laughing.

Soon, she turned to the last page.

Athena thought that there should be no more photos.

But she turned the page casually and saw a corner in the protective interlayer.

Athena was taken aback.

She pulled the corner and slowly pulled it out.

There was another photo!

Athena was surprised and couldn't wait to check it out.

Then, she was stunned.

It was a photo of two people.

Although the two were young, she recognized the girl at 12 or 13-year-old was her mother.

What surprised Athena was the man with a loving face standing beside her mother.

She just saw him on Rose's phone last night.

It was Herman...

Meanwhile, the floodgate of Athena's memory burst open.

She finally knew why she felt Herman looked familiar yesterday.

Athena remembered something that happened in a particular year.

That day, when Athena drifted off, she looked up and saw her mother crying, looking at a picture.

Athena crawled over anxiously.

Her mother hugged her into her arms and said, "Little fool. I'm fine. I just..."

She choked and said, "I just miss my dad."

Her voice was soft.

Athena's grandparents were not at home those days, and Athena thought that her mother was missing her grandpa.

She comforted her mother for a long time like an adult.

She also looked at the photo several times.

Athena's memory came back, and she found it was the same photo.

"I just miss my dad..." Athena murmured as if realizing something in a trance, and her back went numb.
