Sara watched quietly. There was neither guilt nor delight in her heart. She felt as if her heart was gradually becoming numb. These things could no longer stir up her emotions.
She was about to put aside her cell phone when suddenly a phone came in. It was not just a strange number, but a foreign phone call.
Sara was a little confused. She did not know anyone who was abroad.
Her fingers moved, but she still picked up the phone. "Hello?"
There was no sound over there for dozens of seconds. Sara thought that he was harassing the phone and wanted to hang up. But before her fingers touched the bright red button, she heard a gentle voice from the receiver of the phone, "Hello, Sara."
Sara was stunned. "Does this person know her?"
It was a man's voice, which gave people a feeling of spring breeze blowing on their face. It was very soft, which would remind people of a certain sunshine and a warm afternoon in an instant. The fragrance of flowers floated in the air, which was very warm and comfortable.
You know me?" Sara asked in confusion. "May I ask who you are?"
"You don't remember me?" The man seemed a little disappointed, but his voice was still soft. "My name is George." George.
With a "click", Sara's cell phone smashed onto the carpet.
With this name, she suddenly remembered a lot of things, everything that had been buried in her childhood.
Sara always felt that her childhood was very happy.
Even though she did not have a father, her mother and grandfather had given her all the love. Other than being criticized as an illegitimate daughter since young, she did not lack food and clothing.
Although she had been bullied by a few of the Lowell family's children when she was young, it was still a piece of cake for her. Sara didn't care about it for a long time. However, if it was George who was the most well- known person in her childhood, then it must be him.
George was five years older than Sara. That year, Sara was six years old, George was eleven, and Sara was just a little girl who had just been one year old. She was almost the same as children in kindergarten. She was silent, and her friends were estranged from her because of William's words. She never dared to tell Caroline because she didn't want the sick mother to work too much.
Sara remembered that it was July. The sun was very big. The teacher took them to work as public welfare in the park near the school. The other children were in a team of two. Sara was alone. She took a small garbage bag and picked up the garbage in the park. She buried her head in it and walked forward. She ran into a person. She apologized in a low voice, but the person grabbed her shoulder and did not let go. Sara finally looked up and saw a handsome young man.
That person was George.
Although he was only eleven years old at that time, he was already very tall. Sara legs were not as long as his. He needed not only to raise his head, but also to tiptoe. It might be because of her stupid appearance that pleased George. George smiled and poked the little marten on her head. "Little sister, why don't you apologize when you run into others when you walk?"
In fact, Sara had already apologized, but her voice was too low. George didn't apologize, so Sara gathered up her courage to say sorry. George became happier and said, "Hey, little sister, have you worked in the major shift this year?"
Little Sara felt that she had been offended. "I'm already a first-grade student!"
"Wow, you're so good." George raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you go with your classmates?"
Sara was silent for a while and said, "They don't want to play with me. They don't like me."
George's expression was very strange at that time. He seemed to want to laugh, but also seemed a little sad. He said, "Well, no one is playing with me. I'll buy you milk."
"But..." Sara said, "The teacher and mother told me that I can't eat food given by strangers, and I have to pick up trash."
"What kind of garbage?" George felt that she was funny. He pinched her plump cheeks and said, "Do you think I am a bad person? Just the small store in the front. You can pick whatever you want to drink."
"But Mom said..."
The young man had no patience, so he simply bent down and picked up the little girl. "How can you talk so much at such a young age?"
He quickly carried Sara to the outside of the small store. The small store was like a small cart, with a plank that was about 1.2 meters high in front of it. If there was anything, he could only tell the boss and could not take it himself.
George held little Sara in his arms and let her have more vision. He asked her, "What do you want to drink?"
Sara was shocked at first, but when she saw the fancy drinks, she was a little tempted. In fact, she wanted to drink soda. Because she was not in good health, she had never drunk beverages that would bubble. She was very eager, but in the end, she still had a good child and asked for a jar of sweet milk.
After drinking the sweet milk, Sara felt guilty and said, "Brother, what's your name? I'll come here to see you tomorrow and invite you to have our strawberry cake, okay?"
At that time, George escaped from learning. Sitting on the bench in the park, he said in an unconcerned manner, "All done."
So after returning home that day, Sara asked the auntie at home to prepare strawberry cake and carefully brought it to school. When school was over, they went to the small park. After waiting for two hours, George did not show up at all.
Sara was a stubborn child. She didn't dare to go home too late. After waiting for two hours, she placed the bag containing the small cakes on the bench that George and Sara had sat on the other day.
In the next few days, she would put a cake there. She had never seen George again, but every time, the cake disappeared. It was probably taken away by the tramps or sanitation workers.
Caroline thought that she had made friends at school and was very happy to ask the auntie to change all kinds of tricks to make a small cake, but Sara refused. She asked for the strawberry cake and sent it to the park for two months, but she never saw George again.
Later, she realized that maybe she would never see the young man who treated her well again, so she no longer took the cake or went to the park.
However, there would always be many unexpected encounters in one's life.
She met George again when she was in the second year of New Year. She forgot who she had offended at that time and was humiliated in the alley after school. She didn't say a word and trembled with her bag in her arms. Those people tore her books and homework books into pieces. When they robbed her money and wanted to leave, some people single- handedly beat the four boys so hard that their noses and faces were swollen and they couldn't get up.
