The three of them boarded into the vehicle and Edith sat at the back to accompany Hazel. The little girl continued to bury her face in her embrace and did not want to let go.
Their heart ached as the sound of Hazel's crying filled the vehicle.
Neil was driving and could not help to glance through the rear mirror to look at the little girl with worry. In the end, he pulled over the vehicle at a safe place and waited for Hazel to calm down.
A while later, Hazel's crying gradually died out, but she kept on holding on to Edith tightly.
At the thought that Hazel might have fallen asleep, Edith lifted her to sit on her thigh. The little girl did not resist and obediently raised her head.
Seeing the tears hanging on the little girl's eyelashes, Edith took out a clean handkerchief and wiped her tears. The little girl's face and nose reddened and Edith pulled her into his embrace, coaxing her.
