Chapter 147 An Old Friend (Part Two)
Chapter 147 An Old Friend (Part Two)
What happened to these two people? Did they just call him and think he was deliberately not answering
and then get angry? Women's hearts were hard to guess. But on the other hand, he was extremely
worried about Claire's current situation. But he couldn't contact her now, so he was more anxious.
Coincidentally, in order not to disturb Claire's rest, Anna muted her phone. She had been a little tired in
the past two days, so she had put off all the work in the bakery. While Claire was resting, she also took
the opportunity to have a rest.
Not long after she fell asleep, the door of the ward was pushed open. Claire and Anna woke up in an
instant. It was a young man with a lunch box. Anna was a little angry and roared, "who are you?"
The man was first stunned, and then immediately apologized, "sorry, I'm sorry, I've found the wrong
place... Cla... Claire? "
Claire had come to her senses. She looked at the man in front of her blankly, "who are you? How do
you know me? " She was sure that she was awake. She didn't know the man in front of her at all.
"Sister Claire, is it really you?" The man put on his clothes with a surprised expression.
Sister Claire? Why did he call Claire so intimately? Both Claire and Anna were stunned. After a while,
she asked, "excuse me, who are you?"
The man seemed to be anxious. He put down the lunch box and said anxiously, "I'm Colin."
"Brother Colin?" Claire was shocked at first, and then surprised. "Are you really Brother Colin?"
The man grabbed Claire's hand and said, "yes, it's me. Claire, do you remember? There was a large
amount of irises in front of our house, and I used to wear it on your head. "
Tears welled up in Claire's eyes in an instant. The feeling of meeting an old friend again after so many
years made her extremely excited.
Noticing that Anna was excited, Anna hurriedly said, "Claire, calm down. The doctor said that you
shouldn't be too emotional." Then she turned to Colin and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Are you a friend of
Claire? She is not in good health recently. Please forgive her. "
Claire shook her head and smiled, "it doesn't matter, Anna. I was just too happy just now. Colin, I
thought I would never see you again. "
She remembered when she was a child. At that time, in Y County, her neighbor lived with an adopted
boy who was only two years older than her. As for the matter of adoption, it was her grandmother who
told her. Perhaps it was because they had similar backgrounds and ages that they unconsciously
played together.
Colin's adoptive parents didn't care much about him, but he was not like a boy who lacked discipline all
year round. Instead, he had been polite since he was a child. Some people even said that he was not
like a boy who grew up in the county. He looked like a noble.
And he treated Claire very well. In her memory, no one treated her as gently as he did later. No matter
what happened, even if she made trouble out of nothing, Colin would always let her go.
At that time, she was so naive that she grabbed the candied haws he had just bought. With a helpless
smile on his face, Colin said, "Claire, if you like to tell me, I'll buy it for you."
She ate the candied haw carelessly and giggled, "Why are you so good to me, Brother Colin?"
"Because I'm your brother." He patted her head dotingly.
Claire smiled with satisfaction. She suddenly felt that the candied haw were so delicious. "Will you
always be so good to me? What if you have another sister in the future? "
"Then I'll let you be my wife. I can have many sisters but only one wife, just like my parents." Said
Colin, patting his chest.
At that time, Claire didn't know what wife meant at all. She just smiled foolishly. In her heart, being kind
to her was to give her food and let her do whatever she wanted.
Claire suddenly smiled bitterly. It turned out that there was also someone in the world who had treated
her as a princess. But a few years later, Colin suddenly disappeared in one night. She cried and asked
her grandma where her brother, who had doted on her so much, had gone.
Joanna told her that Colin was not the child of the neighbor. The neighbor just wanted a boy, and they
could no longer have children. Then they bought Colin from the human traffickers.
Later, she never saw the little boy again. It had been a long time. Although she couldn't forget him, she
only took the past as a pure memory. She had never thought that she would meet him again after such
a long time and in this big world.
Suddenly, something occurred to Claire. She withdrew in surprise at the hand that was held by Colin,
"how do you recognize me after all these years, when we're so different from when we were kids?"
With a bitter smile, Colin said, "silly girl, you are still so forgetful. The jade pendant around your neck
was my personal belongings when I was a child. Later I knew that it was given to me by my biological
mother. You liked it very much at that time, and I gave it to you without thinking. I didn't expect you to
wear it all the time. " He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "fortunately, you wore it, or I wouldn't have
recognized you."
Claire touched the jade pendant on her chest subconsciously. Yes, this jade pendant was indeed given
to her by Colin. Later, she didn't think too much. She just wore it all the time, as if it was a proof that
could let them recognize each other.
Claire's nose twitched. The feeling of regaining something made her have mixed feelings. She was
happy and excited, but also a little sad.
