Franklin's life slowly changed. His sickly mother who often struggled with treatment was gradually getting better. Vina was also like other teenagers who were given money to spend time with friends.

However, Franklin's financial changes were certainly an important question for his mother. His mother had asked several times, but the answer was always the same.

"There are fewer couriers at the shipping office, Mom. So I have to handle a lot of packages. The good news is, I'm working well even though I have to bear a heavier burden than before. And that's what makes Boss Tio willingly give me a bonus," Franklin said, as usual.

    Franklin stood still when he saw Clara in front of him. His face was filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe that Clara was really here, in this remote village. After everything that had happened, this meeting felt like a miracle. Meanwhile, Clara looked at Franklin with a mixture of relief, anger, and anxiety. The tears she had been holding back now began to well up in her eyes."Franklin... Are you okay?" Clara's voice sounded hoarse, full of emotion.
