Winning Back the Wife
On the road, I met a woman unlike anyone I had ever seen before. Her name was Janet Smith. She seemed slow and almost childlike, yet she had been wandering alone for two years without ever going home. Even with one leg crippled, she had forced herself to climb the Highveil Mountains. This time, however, she was caught in a blizzard. Injured and stranded, she could no longer make her way down. As her vision blurred and her strength slipped away, tears covered her face. She placed a pair of small handmade clay dolls in my hands. "I'm probably going to die here," she murmured. "Please give these to my adoptive brother, Chester Graham." She was clearly at death's door, yet her smile was soft and unexpectedly serene. "Tell him I've seen enough of the world. I don't love him anymore. And tell him he doesn't need to worry. I'm not so foolish now. I won't cause trouble for anyone again." Chester? At the sound of his name, I stood rooted to the spot. In Riverton City, everyone who worked at the harbor knew him, the so-called Ship King. Right before I left for the mountains, news of his engagement had been everywhere.

When the Snow Took Her Name Chapter 9
"She's not mad at you. She never said anything bad about you. And she did leave a message for you, Chester, so listen up. She said to tell you she had seen the world and didn't love you anymore. She also said she had learned a lot and wouldn't be a bother to anyone."After I said it, I sighed again. I knew that would only hurt him more, and it did. The despair in Chester's eyes was clear. He looked like he was falling apart.For once, I spoke to him gently. "Janet had been away from home for two years, and I asked her why. She said, 'Home is where happiness is. When I'm not there, I can pass that happiness on to someone else.' Now, I think she was talking about you."She never held a grudge against you, not even at the end."Janet had trouble putting her thoughts into words. She had to think really hard before she could remember what to say.One time, I got her to sip on some wine to cheer her up. She got tipsy right away, giggling and crying all at once."I shouldn't… I shouldn'

Chester raced back, panting heavily. "What was Janet's last message for me?"His eyes sparkled with hope.However, I felt sorry for him as I was just playing a trick. Why should he only feel a slight regret when Janet was already gone? I pointed to the pear tree. "Janet said she buried something there."I was tricking him, but Chester, like someone dying of thirst, did not question it and scrambled toward the tree. Chester, in his suit, knelt under the blossoming pear tree.He started digging with a shovel, but it was too slow for him. He tossed the shovel aside and used his hands to dig through the dirt. His hands bled, but he did not stop.To my surprise, there really was a metal box buried under the tree. Chester carefully lifted the box and cradled it in his arms. He took a long time before he could bring himself to open it.He read what he had found inside the box slowly and with great care. I could not see what exactly it was. Tears started rolling down Chester's cheeks,
When the Snow Took Her Name Chapter 7
After Chester's crew took me off the ship, they still would not leave me alone. I fought back as hard as I could."Stop staring at me! I'm done dealing with this spineless man! I'll figure out how to bring Janet's body back myself!"Thinking of Janet and how she had died in my arms made me so sad. Janet and I were meant to meet.The first time we went to see the lions in Tazembe, we stuck together. She was a little scared then. Whenever there were many people around, she always wanted to curl up and hide. Her eyes were as innocent as a deer's, making me want to protect her.I would never forget how she had pulled at my sleeve with her eyes sparkling when we were out on the grasslands. "Nathalie, look at the great migration, isn't it amazing?"That dear Janet, just like that, was gone. Every time I thought of it, I could not help but cry.However, after Chester's men picked up a phone call, they refused to set me free. They tied me up and brought me to an old yard with a big, leaf
When the Snow Took Her Name Chapter 6
Rose looked so calm, like she did not care about other people's lives at all. I felt tears burn in my eyes as I charged at her, wanting to strike. "That was a real person's life! How could you do that?"Rose just casually blew on her nails. "She was just a burden. It was better to end her suffering. I was just doing her a favor."I was seeing red. "You'll get what's coming to you!"The guards held me back. I could not lay a finger on Rose.Chester was frozen. After a moment, he looked at me, hollow-eyed. "So, Janet's really gone?"I was too mad to talk. Chester turned and grabbed Rose by the throat. "I was done with her! Why did she have to die?"Rose held his hand. She was not scared. She was even smiling. "Chester, deep down, are you really over her? I can't stand any wrongdoing."He did not know what to say, but his grip was getting tighter. Rose was struggling to breathe, but she kept on smiling. "Chester, all this fuss over a little toy? Really? Or is it that you want to
