Chapter 118 - Smile (2/2)

”Dr. Song… You're so slow, do you want me to carry you? ” jested Xander once he noticed that she was still far behind. Xander smiled lovingly at her, then winked. Yera could not help but return his beautiful smile.

'Grandpa, can you see how great my smiles are now?' Yera thought proudly as she looked at her husband. Since she had been with Xander, Yera learned how to smile. Her smiles were  relaxed, full of love and sincerity.

Xander with two more men in their team separated from Yera and their remainder of the group to find some of the more difficult things they needed. While Xander's group did that, Yera's group completed some of the scavenger hunt's simpler tasks, like taking photos  of insects and animals.

”Do you  guys know how the Dr. CEO's mother died? I heard it was in the woods just like this... I'm not too sure about the details, but I heard she was stabbed several times while she protected some kid” one of their group mates suddenly said..

Rizie looked shocked and turned to the employee, ”Where did you hear that? I tried to look into it to be honest, but only found out a few articles that only said that she died. There were no details about it.”

”Of course, the Yang family shut it all down; they have a large web of connections so censoring whatever they want is  easy. I only know about this because a friend's father of mine was there at that time... He said that our Dr. CEO's mother got killed and was a hero. Even then, he still didn't disclose much detail then too. That father of my friend only  talked like this when he was drunk. When sober, his lips were sealed shut,” the employee continued nonchalantly.

Yera pursed her lips, curious. She wanted to know more, but then, with something so tragic,  no wonder Xander didn't tell her too many details. He suffered a lot, even if it was just retelling the incident to her. It was surely a painful incident for him at the age of seven.

Dion looked at Yera with concern and quickly interrupted the conversation. He purposely changed the topic back to what they needed to do.
