"Sorry, I’ve checked various channels but found nothing. Clover, even if we never find out the origin of this badge, I’ll take care of you all my life."
"Hmm. But if we can’t uncover the origin of this badge in this lifeti, why not pass it down as an heirloom? Do you think that’s a good idea?"
"Sure, anything you say is good."
So happy... really so happy... He saw Clover again. Is it a dream? If possible, he wishes to never wake up from this dream, just soaked in it. For him, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
...
"Dead, the child born from that woman is already dead. Do you want to see it? Sure, then have a look." His mother’s voice rang.
And then he saw a blood-stained dead infant!
Why dead? Why? Although he once hoped the child wouldn’t be born, but... why is it really dead?
"A-Feng, such a child, it’s better not to keep. Since that woman was secretly fooling around with another man and got pregnant with this bastard, isn’t it better that the bastard is dead?" His mother said.
"Edward, do you really think Clover is that kind of woman? She can’t defend herself, she needs you the most now. But why don’t you trust her?!" It’s Asher’s voice; unlike him, Asher always believed in Clover, stood by her, never changing despite all the accusations and insults around.
"Edward Quinn, I wish I never t you, wish I never loved you. From now on, I owe you nothing, and you owe nothing..."
No, Clover! He owes her, he owes her so much. He should have believed her, fought for her, he shouldn’t have doubted her.
But he realized all of this too late, too late.
...
When Edward Quinn woke up, tears were already streaming down his face. He had dreamt again, dreamt of the beauty he longed to see, but also the regret he wished never to see.
The events of the past led to a great mistake. And Clover disappeared, taking all his feelings with her. From then on, he felt as if he were living like a re shell.
Edward Quinn got up, walked into the bathroom, washed his face, and looked at the face in the mirror that had grown old with more than 20 years of waiting and searching, yet he still couldn’t find Clover.
Maybe... Clover has long been dead, only he hasn’t been willing to acknowledge this fact.
Is it because he saw Mabel take out that badge, and it triggered such a dream again? Day-thoughts beco night-dreams?
But why does Asher have the sa badge as Clover? Why did he give that badge to Mabel? If Asher really missed Clover enough to make an identical badge, he would have kept it himself, not passed it to a child. Moreover, Mabel has no blood ties with Asher.
This badge... does it possibly have so other aning? Edward Quinn stared blankly at himself in the mirror, eyes filled with confusion and bewildernt. If he really wants to untangle this puzzle, maybe he should see soone.
