Chapter 21 Is It Her (2/2)
His handsome face was covered with confusion.
If it was Sally, how could there be a mole on her?
But if it weren't for her, why did she look so much like herself?
He looked at the woman on the bed for a long
time before he tucked her in, got up and left.
Celia struggled to wake up from a nightmare.
Sweat broke out on her forehead as if she had returned to that summer in which she had suffered a lot.
She got herself a glass of water and gulped it down barefoot.
After a while, she remembered that there should be someone in the bedroom.
By the way, where is he?
She looked around and heard a faint noise from the balcony.
He must be on the phone!
After she put on her shoes and was about to wash up, she ran into Carlos who came back from the balcony with his mobile phone.
”Good morning.” He smiled at her lightly and then said to the person on the other end of the line.
Celia Ling saw him walk to the table and took out a piece of paper from the drawer. It seemed that he wanted to write something down.
With one hand holding his cell phone, he was listening to the person on the other side of the phone and writing on the paper with the other hand.
She found that Carlos' hand was on his left hand when he was writing. Later, Carlos held his phone for a long time, so he changed his left hand.
Celia stared at the man's hand, lost in thought. She didn't even realize that Carlos had hung up the phone.
”What's wrong? You look so obsessed. ”
The man's voice sounded, and she just woke up from the scattered memory.
”Can you write with both hands?”
Carlos looked at her. ”Well, I didn't use my left hand at the very beginning. But after a long time, I gradually learned how to use my left hand.”
She wondered if the light in his eyes when he looked at her had suffocated Celia.
She avoided his eyes and said, ”I'm going to wash up.”
Then she walked quickly to the bathroom.
When she stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and saw her toothbrush on the wash basin, she slowly stretched out her left hand
Hiss——
She could feel the pain, but she just held the toothbrush for a moment and couldn't hold on.
”How long have you changed to use your right hand to do things?”
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind her, which startled her.
”Five years.”
After a moment's silence, Carlos didn't ask any more.
When Celia Ling and Carlos went downstairs, Zoe, standing in the living room, looked at them and couldn't help but recall the scene that had happened in her mind.
After the breakfast, Celia wanted to help Zoe clean the kitchen, but she was stopped by her uncle.
”Carlos, take Celia out for a walk. I'm going to the kitchen.”
”You? Every time you said something, it was me who started it. ” Said Zoe to her husband.
”Oh, Carlos and Celia seldom come back home. Don't blame me.”
Celia Ling saw the couple arguing. Although it seemed that they disliked each other, it was the happiest thing for her family.
Zoe didn't go to the kitchen with Howard Hua until she saw Carlos and Celia walk out of the hall.
Zoe thought while cleaning up the room.
”Howard”, look at Celia. She is...””
”She do look like Sally. I was also shocked when I saw her yesterday. She look exactly like her! But... ”
”What?” Zoe stopped cleaning.
”Do you still remember what your sister said about the other child? Do you think... ”
The man outside the door took a deep drag on his cigarette. The ashes fell on his hand and it was burning, but he didn't seem to feel it at all. Carlos kept her chin tight, and the smoke slowly dispersed. His handsome face was in the dark, and his eyes were strangely red.
