But little Kevin still clutched Wilbert Morgan's schoolbag strap with his chubby little hand.
Wilbert Morgan thought for a moment, took out five candies from his pocket, and handed them to little Kevin: "You eat one every day ... and when they're gone, we'll be able to see each other again!"
With teary eyes, little Kevin watched as Wilbert Morgan entered the school, holding the candies in his little hands.
Grace Gordon took little Kevin's hand, helped him put the candies in his pocket, and said, "Alright ... let's go back, and when your candies are all gone, your brother will come back..."
Little Kevin looked up at Grace Gordon: "Uncle..."
Grace Gordon looked at little Kevin, seeing his tearful eyes... as if he wanted Ian Leighton.
"Do you want your uncle?" Grace Gordon asked.
"Yes..." little Kevin nodded.
Grace Gordon smiled and patted little Kevin's head: "Let's go... you'll see your uncle tonight."
