Restore My Hearing and My Heart novel Chapter 9

Life in the city was way more advanced than it was here. What more could I complain about?

Before I could think too much about it, Zephyr's voice danced softly into my ears. "Don't worry, Ms. Miller. No matter what happens, I'll always protect you."

When I looked at him, his gaze was even more determined. I couldn't help but smile and ruffle his hair. Maybe staying here was the right choice. At least the people here were sincere and not deceitful.

…

Just as I was teaching one day, two unexpected figures appeared before me.

"Mommy!"

"Quinn, you're really here!"

I hadn't seen Jackson and Bonnie in so long, and I had never seen them this disheveled.

He—who always carried himself like royalty, composed and graceful in all situations—now had hair long enough to cover his shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot, ringed with purplish dark circles.

As for my daughter, who used to dress like a princess, she was now covered in mud, looking like a wild child.

I had no intention of speaking to them, but before I could react, they threw themselves at me. Jackson grabbed me and held on with a desperate strength, sobbing without any restraint.

"Why did you leave me, Quinn? You know exactly how I feel about you. I love you so much. I really, really do. Without you, I'd rather die!"
