Chapter 89 I Have Always Loved You

• 'Dad, Mom, my dear brother and sisters, can you see me? I'm growing taller and stronger with each passing day! I miss you all so much—it feels like I'm losing my mind. I yearn to see you, even for just a moment, just to know what you look like.
• 'Dad, Mom, my dear brother and sisters, don't worry about me. Tom and I have vowed to study hard and grow into people you can be proud of! I don't know where you are, and I don't even know if you're still alive. But maybe, just maybe, someday, when I finally meet you, I'll tell you everything. I'll say it out loud: I love you. I have always loved you.'
• "Oh…" Shirley couldn't suppress her sobs. She buried her face in the blanket, biting down to stifle the sounds.
