Chapter 513: The End
-This is…
Vanessa’s eyes widened and then she began to watch carefully.
At first Cecilia kept her eyes open and watched with Vanessa, but before long she was nodding her head sleepily.
-Watch while I take Candy to her room.
Dylan said in a soft voice.
Vanessa reluctantly averted her eyes from the virtual screen, smiled, shook her head and said, “I’ll take her back.
-Well, then, we’re together.
You can watch the video whenever you want, but for now you have to send your daughter to her room to rest, to make up for the emptiness that has existed for the last three years or so from this point on, and to give your daughter a complete home.
-Go to our room.
-Good.
Vanessa nodded and followed Dylan into the two men’s bedroom.
Their bed is big enough to sleep three people.
Dylan first carefully placed his daughter in the centre of the bed and deftly moved to put on her pajamas so she could sleep more comfortably.
Watching his deft movements, Vanessa’s heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. To everyone else, Dylan was the president of the SJ Group, a man of great stature, but who knew that in private he would make a good family man.
No, he did better than any father could have done.
What man could have come so far if it were not for the love of his daughter?
And it is also reflected in the other side that he often takes personal care of his daughter.
-Mr Dylan, it has been hard for you all these years.
-Because we both knew that one day we would find you, so I didn’t try hard.
Dylan smiled softly and looked at Vanessa with kind eyes.
-Honey, let’s go sleep with our daughter.
-Good.
Rarely does a family of three sleep in the same bed.
Cecilia slept in the middle, and Dylan and Vanessa lay on either side of her. And Dylan reached out his long arms and took the two most important treasures in the world directly into his arms.
He closed his eyes contentedly.
It was the most restful sleep for the three of them in over three years.
Cecilia opened her eyes and saw that it was her mother holding her on her left and her father holding her and her mother on her right, the girl froze and suddenly smiled, mostly sweetly.
Worried about disturbing her parents, she covered her mouth, but Vanessa and Dylan were already awake.
-Did you sleep well?
Vanessa looks at her daughter with a smile and asks quietly.
-Mommy, I slept well oh.
-Candy baby, mommy misses you so much.
At Vanessa’s words, Cecilia and Dylan freeze in unison, their eyes locked on Vanessa.
-Mum, do you remember Candy?
-Honey, have you regained your memory?
Both father and daughter spoke in unison, with identical expressions of surprise that amused Vanessa.
-I don’t know how it happened, I just woke up and it all came back to me. I think it’s because I’m back with you, back in familiar surroundings, so it’s natural for me to remember.
-Great!
Cecilia couldn’t help but let out a happy cry, jumping into Vanessa’s arms and hugging her tightly:
-Mommy, Candy misses you so much, most of all, most of all.
-Mommy misses you too, extra special.
Mother and daughter embraced, much to Dylan’s chagrin, who was ignored. He simply took both women in his arms and kissed them one by one on the face.
-Shall we go out to dinner to celebrate?
-It’s better to eat at home, we’ll do it ourselves.
Vanessa is still thinking about the unfinished video, already desperate not to remember it yet, and now that she remembers all the past with her daughter and her family, she is even more impatient to see all those lost moments of growth.
-Good.
The three of them walked into the kitchen together, Dylan and Vanessa working in tandem to cook, while Cecilia sat down with a small stool to do what she could.
Soon dinner was ready with the collaboration of three people.
After a formal reunion meal, the three went back upstairs to finish watching the rest of the video.
With more than three years of memory loss, Vanessa has also not visited her parents for more than three years.
The next day she took Dylan and Cecilia to the cemetery to pay their respects to Felipe and Mercedes.
-Dad, Mom, I’m sorry I haven’t come to visit you all these years. I’m back now and I’m reunited with Dylan and Candy. Mum and Dad, I’m fine, don’t worry.
Vanessa finished and made a reverent offering.
A breeze blew, as if Felipe and Mercedes responded to her words.
-Grandparents, Candy will take good care of mommy too. Don’t worry, Candy will be good and stay with mum and dad. Our family will be very happy and joyful.
Cecilia also said seriously to her grandparents’ gravestone.
Dylan looked at the two with a smile in his eyes, his eyes mesmerizingly soft.
The family left after paying their respects to his parents.
Then he went to see Enrique and had dinner with him. By then Enrique was married and his wife was more than three months pregnant, and he would soon be a father.
Enrique was delighted to see Vanessa back safe and sound.
In the evening, after Cecilia had gone to bed.
-By the way, I never asked, what happened to Orlando?
-He’s dead.
As for how Orlando died, Dylan didn’t say much specifics. Since it was a crisis he was having with Cecilia at the time, he didn’t want to say anything that would worry Vanessa.
Seeing this, Vanessa didn’t press the issue.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
-Where is Gerardo? What about him now?
-He had a sudden attack in a sanatorium a year ago and died in resuscitation.
Vanessa sniffed for a moment in silence.
A lot has happened in the three years he’s been gone, though, with Gerardo and Orlando dead.
And the enmities of the past dissipated with the death of these two men.
Now that her family is reunited and there is no one to stand in their way, they are sure to be happy.
Vanessa couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Dylan’s waist and press her face against his chest, listening to the sound of his strong heartbeat with extra satisfaction.
-Dylan, I love you.
Dylan smiled softly and kissed Vanessa’s forehead tenderly and reverently, looking down at her lovingly.
-I love you too, honey.
They believe that they will also hold hands every day in the future, rain or shine, they will face each other together.
The world is so big, people are so complicated, but meeting is inevitable, it is destined by God.
We love each other and we will always be happy.
