"Mom, how great would it be if dad were still with us…"
Tears welled up in Pei Ge's eyes as she spoke in a voice brimming with sadness.
Zhang Manhua paused when she heard her daughter mention her husband. She then shook her head with a smile.
"Silly child, why would you mention your dad all of a sudden?"
"I just… miss him…" said her daughter softly, sniffling as a small smile appeared on her face.
"Sigh… In the blink of an eye, many years have passed since he left us. I miss him, too…" she said, her voice full of emotions.
"Mom, I've never understood it. Didn't dad just go to work that day? How come something like that happened to him?"
Tears gathered in her daughter's eyes after asking such questions.
She felt tears begin to gather in hers as well upon hearing the hurt in daughter's voice.
