Susie hurriedly put on a mink coat and went out.

Wade noticed that she had left and chased after her, asking, "Sister, where are you going?"

Susie hurriedly said, "Ledger is coming over, I'll go pick him up."

Wade: "..."

After the New Year, Susie turned 9 years old. Now she has grown to a height of 1.4 meters. The little girl has already blossomed into a very outstanding one.

She was wearing a red mink coat, a long coat designed like a cape, walking in the wind and snow with an indescribable grace.

It was somewhat like the scene in ancient costume dramas where "my daughter has grown up", with a touch of the cold and imposing aura that only Yama possessed.

"Is it you, brother?"

Susie arrived at the door and found Ledger standing outside, not saying a word. These past few days had been snowy, with temperatures dropping as low as minus four or five degrees. Ledger was wearing a black down jacket, without wearing an additional hat, just pulling up the hood of the jacket.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and as he turned around, clouds of white mist formed before his eyes with each breath.

"It's so cold today, why are you only wearing a down jacket..." Susie exclaimed in surprise.

During the coldest time in Beijing, wearing a down jacket was definitely not as warm as a mink coat. He stood outside for so long.

Ledger said, "It's okay, I wasn't cold."

He handed a ring to Susie and said, "Here you go, this is a storage ring..."

Worried that Susie might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "I was actually looking for other pieces of jewelry, like bracelets or necklaces, but I couldn't find any."

Susie took it and asked in astonishment, "Why are you giving this to me? My dad has already given it to me, I have one."

She raised her hand to show him. On her index finger, she wore a light purple ring, with a color leaning towards pinkish purple, which suited a young girl very well.

This was specially made for her by Kellen in the past. She had rings from childhood to adulthood, but later on, she grew up and no longer needed these rings. Then, she reincarnated in this life and went through the cycle of rebirth, becoming a child again, and only then did she use them again.

Ledger pursed his lips and glanced towards the direction of the Murray family mansion.

I had been standing here for a long time just now. He had his way to see the main building from afar, and he saw Huck's figure through the glass window.

Ledger whispered, "There were some pills in the ring, for Grandma Su."

Susie understood that he had come specifically to deliver medicine to his grandmother and was worried about her.

She clenched the ring and said, "Thank you..."

Although she also has it, such feelings and care cannot be compared to anything else.

Ledger remained silent, unsure of what to say. He wanted to tell her not to be too sad, to take care and accept the changes, but he was also worried that his words might make her cry, considering she didn't seem to be in a good emotional state.

"You..." Ledger hesitated for a moment, and finally just said, "If there's anything, you can call me."

Susie felt her nose tingling and nodded... Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly said, "Ledger, come in quickly, it's cold outside!"

Unexpectedly, Ledger shook his head and said, "No, I won't go in."

He paused for a moment and then said, "I won't come to celebrate the New Year in a few days."

His father said that it might not be appropriate to celebrate the New Year, as if they were to come, it would already be Huck's memorial service...

"Goodbye," Ledger waved his hand and turned away.

Susie remained silent, thinking about Huck's situation, and started feeling upset again. So she stood there, watching Ledger leave.

I don't know why, but suddenly I felt that amidst the vast white snow, there was only her left in the world.

Feeling lonely, feeling lost, feeling a certain sadness that is hard to explain.

Suddenly, Ledger turned around and walked back.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

He felt her gaze and turned around to see a little girl standing alone in the wind and snow. The snowflakes, as big as goose feathers, were falling heavily, even appearing somewhat fierce, as if they wanted to cover her up.

Ledger immediately turned back.

Susie sniffed and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."

The originally unstoppable sadness suddenly became light when Ledger turned back.

The feeling of loneliness, which used to be there when there was only oneself, was inexplicably diluted.

"Thank you, Ledger," Susie sincerely expressed her gratitude. "You are my best friend!"

Ledger remained silent and nodded after a moment, "Hmm."

Susie: "Don't you want to come in and sit for a while? Have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

Ledger smiled and said, "No, if I were to go in, I reckon your elder brother would chop me up."

Susie was puzzled, "How could it be? Friends who come are all guests, they wouldn't betray!"

Big brother is not a stingy person. It's just a cup of tea, no matter how much we eat and drink, we can't spend a hundred thousand yuan. It's not like we're stealing from someone's house. It's really unnecessary to break up with him!

Susie's current thoughts only revolved around money.

Ledger chuckled, rubbed her head, and helped her adjust her hat, saying, "You go in quickly!"

Susie saw that he had made up his mind not to go in, as if he had just come secretly to deliver some medicine.

She didn't hesitate either and could only nod and say, "Alright... Then goodbye, Ledger."

She waved at him, wanting to send him away and then go back.

Ledger, however, said, "You go in, I'll wait until you go in before I leave."

Susie: "Ah?"

She didn't understand, but seeing Ledger persist, she went in with three steps forward and one look back. Standing at the entrance of the main building, she could faintly see Ledger's figure outside.

He waved at her and then left.

She felt a sense of inexplicable calmness in her heart as she walked back along this road, and she was very grateful for her brother's company.

He watched her to the door, and as she turned around, her beloved family was behind her.

Susie took a deep breath, smiled and pushed the door open as she walked in.
