Chapter 906
You Hit My Heart
Finally, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Joyce's cheek.
Left and right, up and down ... She finally gave it a hard squeeze.
"Wow, awesome high tech! Is it really a mask? Sure it's not plastic
surgery? It feels like real skin. It feels so good in the hand.â
Juanita gave a few "tsk" in surprise.
âIt is indeed possible. Since I came to the Special Investigation Unit, I
have seen it a few times. The mask is thinner than a piece of paper,
and it feels completely the same as the real skin. It's even very
breathable so you can wear for a really long time without problems."
Karl explained.
"Hmm. Sometimes I forget to take it down myself." Joyce smiled.
âIt's just ... does he not mind?" Juanita pointed to Anderson. After all,
Anderson was still a child, and his own mother had to wear a mask
sometimes. Could he accept it?
Anderson sat on top of the couch and suddenly interrupted, "Mom has
two faces, and I've been used to it for a long time. You can't tell anyone
about that.â
Joyce gently stroked Anderson's little head, and looked a little
frustrated.
Anderson had been such a good boy and she felt sorry about what he
had to suffer.
Juanita sat down next to Anderson and couldn't resist giving him
another hug, "What's Anderson name again?"
"Anderson." Joyce said, "After the survival, he has been a gift from God
to me."
In the box, there was a moment of silence.
They all understood that it was a miracle just to survive in that situation.
Anderson, moreover, was the miracle of miracles.
"Wow, he's so cute! I love this boy! Joyce, if you're too busy, just leave
Anderson to me. I love children the most!" Juanita hugged Anderson
and refused to let go.
Even Karl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
âIf you like children, have one for yourself." Joyce looked at the two of
them and said with amusement, âIt's been four years and you're still not
married. What have you been waiting for?"
"Ah, that was, that was..." Juanita wanted to change the topic.
Karl, instead, admitted instantly, "Soon."
In the past, he carried such a heavy burden in his heart.
After he was shot, Joyce went to confront such a danger alone, leaving
the chance of survival to him.
When Franklin found his unloaded pistol and handed it back to him, his
heart was completely crushed by the last straw.
Joyce, in her final moments, did not forget to hide his gun, and she did
not want to cause him any trouble.
She was just so thoughtful for him.
With his background, would a mere gun cause him any trouble? But
still, she did not want him to be criticized.
He understood it all.
From that moment on, he knew he could not forget about her.
As long as he couldn't find Joyce, he just would not get out of the heavy
guilt he felt.
Today, almost four years later, he finally knew that she was still alive.
He was so much relieved.
Although, he knew that at the bottom of his heart, he always had
feelings for Joyce, and that was not going to change.
However, love was not the same as possession. Now that she was safe
and sound, and even her child was safe and sound, he finally didn't
need to worry so much about her.
He didnât need to get her and as long as he could watch her from afar
and occasionally be informed of something new about her, he thought it
was enough already.
