With only five hours left before my flight to the United States, I carefully packed my suitcase and sat on the sofa, looking around this room full of countless memories. My thoughts lingered on every item, as if they were all telling stories of the past.

I checked my visa, ID card, wallet and mobile phone one by one to make sure everything was ready. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and Lucienne rushed in with the child in her arms, her voice was full of tears: "Lucas! You can't just abandon us, an orphan and a widow!"

" Brandon has gone to jail. There is no man in the family. How can we, an orphan and a widow, survive?" She continued, her tone full of despair.
