You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 487

He knew that the others were worried that he was too caught up in his grief.

The Heaths threw away all of Mia's belongings, burned all of her photos, and erased all traces of Mia's existence. They believed

that this way he could forget about Mia and start over.

However, it still didn't stop him missing Mia any little bit.

They could burn the photos, and even Cecelia had never seen a photo of Mia.

However, the memory could not be erased. Decades of years passed, and Mia's face was still deep in his bones and blood, which

could not be burned and destroyed, and could never be forgotten.

Moreover, none of them knew that he had actually been secretly hiding a photo.

He stood up and walked to the empty wall opposite the recliner.

People always thought that he liked to stare at the wall, but in fact it was not true.

He removed the antique clock from the wall and opened the back cover of the clock, which hid an old yellowing photo. He took out

his most precious treasure and held it in his hand.

This was Mia's photo.

He wasn't gawking at the empty wall, but the antique clock in the wall had been hiding something he had cherished all his life!

His entire body sank into the recliner, his pale eyes staring straight at the photo in his hands.

They just looked the same!

Although when he looked at Joyce today, there were indeed sdifferences between her and Mia, the resemblance made it

impossible for him to believe that there was no blood relationship between them. Genetics was such a wonderful thing.

He recalled that although Cecelia had met Joyce, Cecelia had not met Mia. In this family, the only person who had met Mia was

himself.

He carefully clutched the photo in his hand as if he were clutching the whole world.

He was a little tired, not much tlater, leaning back in the recliner dazed asleep.

On the other hand, after Charlotte and Ricky left Skymall, they did not return directly to the Heath residence, but discussed things

in a cafe near the Heath residence, until Cecelia called Charlotte.

When Charlotte answered the phone, her voice softened and she put one finger against her lips, indicating to Ricky not to speak.

"Charlotte, are you home?" Cecelia asked gently on the phone.

"No, Mom, I'm going to Skymall today to get supplies for the venue." Charlotte said back.

"When | was at hthis afternoon, your grandfather had never cback. Now he doesn’t answer my call, so | guess he

accidentally set it on mute again." Cecelia said with a headache.

"Do you needto hurry back and check it out? I'll be hin about an hour and a half." Charlotte was actually in the

neighborhood and could be hin a few minutes, but since she had lied earlier and said she was still in Skymall, it was a long

way from Skymall to the Heath residence, and it was rush hour, so it would take a long tto get there.

"Oh, it's okay. | just wanted to let you know that dinner is ready in the kitchen. Your grandfather should eat on his own when he

saw it. | just am just worried; | don't know if he went back or not. After you go back, tell grandpa to go to bed early. I'm in a hurry

and I've left home. | have to go to the Capital and will be back in the morning." Cecelia said carefully.

"Yes, Mom. is something wrong in the Capital?" Charlotte froze and wondered if something was going on at home, as Cecelia was

always running to the Capital lately and Ralph hadn't been back to Khebury for a long time.

"It's nothing important. Don't you worry." Cecelia soothed, "lI need to go now. Take care of yourself."
