Chapter 442 - 438: Dad, Mom
After confirming Darren Moss’s identity in the newspaper at the Lewis’ Village library, Richelle Dunn reached out to Darren Moss after she returned home.
The two chatted for over an hour on the phone, with Darren Moss still saying as they hung up.
“Ms. Dunn, feel free to ask me anything you want to know. Regrettably, what I know may not be of much use.”
Richelle Dunn, however, found it hard to express her gratitude, “Mr. Moss, I have to thank you for remembering my parents all these years. I think in this world, aside from me, it might only be you who wants to find the truth for them.”
After hanging up the phone, Richelle Dunn remained unsettled for a long time. That night, she specifically applied to Roy Lewis to sleep in her own bedroom. She typed out all the information Darren Moss had told her on her computer. Combined with the information she had collected from Hugo Camrey over the past few months and what she had read in the newspapers, she was able to piece together a few years of her parents’ lives.
The pieced-together few years were enough to reveal her parents’ once shining spirits, alongside their mutual affection and happiness.
And in these accounts, Richelle Dunn, their only cherished daughter, appeared quite frequently.
In fact, more often than their legendary experiences and achievements from the past.
From these stories, Richelle Dunn accurately understood the message tacitly conveyed by her parents.
Compared to their dazzling career accomplishments, she, their daughter, was their proudest achievement.
That night, Richelle Dunn went to sleep with tears in her eyes, filled with deep longing for her parents.
In her dreams, she became a little girl learning to speak.
With a braid sticking upright from her head, she hummed “Two tigers, two tigers, they run fast, they run fast…” along with her mother.
Her dad brought some milk for her, put it in her mouth, and kissed her mother in front of her.
“Daddy! Daddy!”
The handsome young man set her mother aside, opened his arms, and drew her into his embrace.
The scent of fresh pine instantly enveloped her.
The warmth and heft of his embrace made her cozy up, unwilling to leave.
She subconsciously buried her head in her father’s chest…
The next morning, Richelle Dunn woke up in a warm embrace.
She opened her eyes and looked at the man holding her, somewhat puzzled.
“When did you come over?”
She distinctly remembered going to sleep alone last night.
Roy Lewis kissed her forehead, “Not long after you fell asleep.”
Richelle Dunn clicked her tongue, “How do you know I just fell asleep? Did you install a camera in my room?”
Roy Lewis held her face and looked closely into her eyes.
“Did you cry last night?”
Richelle Dunn blinked, neither denying nor admitting it.
“Do you need my help?”
Richelle Dunn shook her head, “Not for now. Wait until I’ve organized all the information I have now before you help me analyze it. Let’s see where we can find a breakthrough or a flaw.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “I’ve talked to the police, hoping we might be able to find a former officer to analyze the situation. Because some things we may not see as problems now, but with their era’s background, they might be able to spot differences.”
Richelle Dunn thought his suggestion made sense, “In that case, should I also send a copy to Mr. Moss?”
