Extra 1: Abigail’s Last Happiness

"Father, have you found that suspicious guy?"

I raised my head and asked my father.

At this time, the house was in a mess, and the waiters were running around and searching.

"No, Alyssa..." My father leaned down and smiled bitterly at me, "I have searched the whole house, but I still can't find the suspicious person you mentioned. Did you see it wrong?"

"You saw that right!"

I puffed up my cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"There was indeed a very suspicious guy just now! When I was about to go back to my room, I happened to walk there."

I said, pointing to the side.

"When I walked there, I saw a very suspicious person who I had never seen before!"

"Alyssa." My father asked me again, "Are you really right? Could it be that you were dazzled and mistook a certain waiter in our house?"

"No!" I replied firmly again, "It's really a person I've never seen before! He's a very young boy, he seems to be in his 20s, and he's tall."

"Not only that, this suspicious guy also said a lot of incomprehensible things to me."

"Huh? Alyssa, have you ever communicated with that person?"

"Yes! After I found him, I ran over and asked him who he was."

"Then, this suspicious guy said a lot of incomprehensible things to me with a stupid look on his face! Inexplicable things like 'getting smaller', 'real or fake' and so on!"

Perhaps because I didn’t look like I was lying, the suspicion on my father’s face slowly faded and he murmured:

"Could it be that... there is really a suspicious person entering our house... But who could be entering our house... It's unlikely to be a thief..."

"Father!" I interrupted my father's soliloquy impatiently, "Let everyone look carefully! This may be a thief! He has taken a fancy to our family's property... Ah! Maybe he can return it to us." They could be human traffickers! They want to kidnap me or something like that!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

My father tapped my head gently with a smile on his face.

"If it was a human trafficker, how could he have been talking to you just now? He must have covered you with a sack and ran away with you in his arms."

"Hmm... Anyway, father, please let everyone look carefully!"

"It's useless to search carefully..." The father smiled helplessly, "We have just conducted a blanket search, but we haven't found the suspicious person you mentioned."

"Hmm..." I continued without giving up, "could he be hiding somewhere..."

"It's impossible." My father replied to me immediately, "We have checked every place in the house where someone can hide. This suspicious person may have escaped..."

"Cough, cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

——Before my father finished speaking, he was interrupted by a series of extremely loud and rapid coughs.

This coughing sound is all too familiar to me.

After all, these days, I hear a cough that gets worse every day almost every day.

As soon as the cough sounded, my father's expression immediately changed, he turned around and started running towards a certain room.

And I immediately followed behind my father.

"Abigail!"

The father pushed open the mother's room while calling the mother's name.

Because I was still young, my limbs were all small and short. Even though I ran with all my strength, my speed was still much slower than that of my father who had been fighting on the front lines all year round and was in very good health.

After my father pushed open the door of my mother's room, I finally rushed to my mother's room.

After entering my mother's room, I immediately moved my eyes to the only bed in the room.

——Mom, still as usual, sitting on the bed with an extremely pale face.

However, what is different from usual is that my mother seems to be in a very good mood at this time, with a smile full of happiness on her face.

"Abigail!"

While calling his mother's name, his father quickly walked to his mother's bed, gently held his mother's right hand outside the quilt, and then continued:

"Are you okay? Why are you coughing so loudly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Lie down quickly! You can't sit for too long now!"

The mother, who was pale and had a smile on her face, chuckled a few times and said:

"No, I feel very energetic now and don't need to lie down to rest."

After hearing my mother say that she is in good spirits now, I finally let go of the worries I had just felt.

However, my father's face became even more ugly as my mother said these words.

"Abigail..." Father's lips began to tremble slightly, "You..."

I don’t know if I saw it wrong, but I saw that my father’s eyes seemed a little moist.

The sockets of his eyes were also slightly red.

Father...why do you look sad...

"Iselle." Mom continued to smile, "Smile, I know my physical condition very well. According to the doctors' diagnosis, I should have left you and Alyssa one month ago. I can hold on until Now, it’s considered a miracle.”

Mom...what are you talking about...

"I feel very happy and happy now."

The smile on my mother's face became brighter and brighter.

"The reason why I have been able to survive until now is purely because I am still reluctant to leave this world. I have not been able to see Alyssa's future husband and my son-in-law with my own eyes. I am not willing to leave like this. Already..."

"It is also this obsession that has supported me until now."

"Looking back now, I am so happy. Even God took care of me and allowed me to meet the person I wanted to see most when I was about to pass away."

"Mom..." After hearing this, I couldn't help it anymore and asked my mother out loud, "What are you talking about... I don't understand a word about God's favor or meeting."

"Yes, Abigail." Father also said at this time, "What are you talking about? What's the 'meeting'?"

My mother, who was still smiling, did not answer these two questions from my father and me, but continued:

"I am very satisfied now. I can leave this with a smile."

Having said this, my mother paused for a moment, shifted her gaze to my father, and then continued:

"Iselle, after I leave, make peace with Albert completely. I know that because you and I got married, there has always been a gap between you and Albert. After I leave, remember to Let’s make peace with Albert and return to the previous situation of being as close as brothers.”

My father's face was now covered with tears.

"...Well, I will..."

Listening to my mother's words and seeing the tears on my father's face, I gradually became uneasy.

I sensed that something very bad was about to happen.

However, at this moment——

"Come, Alyssa, come to mom."

——Just when I started to feel uneasy, my mother started calling me softly.

"Mother……"

Listening to my mother's familiar soft voice, the uneasiness in my heart gradually disappeared.

I walked slowly to my mother's bed.

"Alyssa."

Mom called my name again and hugged me gently.

His left hand crossed my back and hugged my shoulders, and his right hand gently stroked my hair.

My mother told me that she liked my long hair best, so every time she hugged me, she would habitually stroke my hair.

"Alyssa, do you still plan to become a knight in the future?"

"Yeah." I nodded gently, "I want to be a powerful knight like my mother in the future..."

"Are you as good as mom? Then Alyssa, you have to work hard."

"Well, I will work hard." I nodded vigorously, "I will definitely, definitely become a knight as powerful as my mother!"

"I love you...Alyssa..."

After saying that, my mother kissed me on the face.

"I love you too, Mom."

I also kissed my mother's face.

Just after my lips left my mother's still very young face——

Mom's right hand, which was constantly stroking my hair, naturally dropped from the top of my head.

"Mother……?"

Still not realizing what happened, I raised my head and looked at my mother's face in confusion.

Mom had closed her eyes at this time.

There was still a smile on his face.

He looked contented.
