A Moment in Destiny

“Then go get yourselves ready, there’s a bus this afternoon and it will send you all over there!”

Thus, Leila returned to F City together with her fellow trainees.

Getting off the highway, Leila stared at the city outside the window, where millions of lights were shining. This highway was strange yet familiar, she had passed by it with someone before!

She sighed inside and retracted her gaze. The stories that were carved into her past had faded into a distant dream. The simpler her life was, the happier she would be!

The car drove directly to the hostel at the police station. Leila looked at the time, it was half past eight at night. She should go back to see her mother!

Getting off the car, she first confirmed where she would stay during the training, and it turned out that she would be sharing a room with another young girl. Putting her luggage down, Leila went home only carrying a small bag. She did not hurry to hail a cab but chose to walk on the main street silently.

At this moment, a luxurious sedan passed by before her. In the car, a tall figure radiated with an aura of indifference, his cold and handsome looks were similar to the attractive gods in Greek mythology. He had profound features that were masculinely shaped, under his thick and dark brows were a pair of dark eyes that were like an abyss, shining coldly and sharply. His pursed thin lips indicated the facet of the owner of the body that was serious and cold.

He was making a call in the back, as he turned the corner of his eyes he could not help but look sidewards. He saw a thin figure dressed in a white t-shirt and dark fitted jeans, and it was so familiar. His chest immediately began to hurt suffocatingly, and the phone in his hand had already slipped off. He wanted to ask the driver to turn around immediately, yet the road was a single-way route.

When their car had finally turned back from the other end, that figure was no longer on the path. Vincent got off the car. Walking around in large strides, he examined his surroundings. Yet the beauty was already gone, he could not help but smile bitterly.

How could it be her? How could it possibly be her?

He knew that she was in City R, he knew that she had never come back.

He knew that she had gotten into the police station and became a police officer that was in charge of handling the files in the documentation room. He knew that she was living quietly, and knew that she had not contacted Arthur. He knew that she no longer needs him in her life!

Perhaps he missed her too much. Perhaps he really could not let it go, maybe her face, her voice, and her smile had long been carved into his consciousness and his bones, no longer able to be removed.

Leila got into the cab, the car drove towards her home.

On the way, she stared at the bustling street. F City was still lively as ever, and the crowd was still bustling, nothing had changed!

The moment she opened the door of her home, Mabel paused.

“Leila?”

“Mum!” Leila smiled quietly and went forward, hugging her mother! “I’m back! Mum!”

“Dear child, my child!” the mother and the daughter wrapped their arms around each other.

Leila smiled lightly. She thought that no matter how deep the wound was, it would scab over. Time was the best medicine.

To her at the present, coming back was only for her job and not for anyone else.

She chatted happily with her mother for a long time, seeming to have returned to her teenage days a long, long time ago. The mother and daughter chatted until the daylight broke.
