Renee handed her phone to Quinton.
"That's…" Quinton saw the familiar woman playing the piano enchantingly, and his eyes became watery.
"Give it time, Quinton. I believe that the both of you will surely meet one day." Renee patted Quinton's shoulder and consoled him gently.
"I'm just glad she's alive… That's all I want," Quinton choked out hoarsely, his voice thick with emotion. After a while of staring at the woman on the screen, he finally calmed down and returned the phone to Renee. "Renee, I know you mean well. Don't worry, I've thought a lot about it, and I'll be okay."
"Great! There's no time to grieve—the fort master still has Liam, and Chase is still missing. We didn't even find our parents' murderer, and we have yet to see our family prosper… We must stay strong and hold on." Renee was forced to pressure him like this so he would be hopeful and motivated again. He did well under pressure, and needed the drive to move on.
After that day, Renee could feel that Quinton had gotten better and more energetic. Eventually, he was himself again.
The kindergarten's carnival was held as scheduled, and both Renee and Quinton participated in it enthusiastically. The theme for the carnival was Halloween, and all the children and their parents had to put on their costumes and work together to complete tasks given by the teachers.
The parents watched Renee and her family in awe, excitedly whispering about them.
Miss Apple, Adie and Abby's class teacher, welcomed Renee and her family proudly. "Miss Everheart, thank you very much for coming. I'm sure our class will be the champion with you here!" She remarked enthusiastically.
All the classes would join the competition, and they would be evaluated based on their costumes and completion of the tasks. The class with the highest marks would be named Best Class and would gain a mysterious gift, so all the class teachers would try their best to win first place every year.
