Mandy smiled for the first time，“Nonsense. How dare you.....”
Lock picked up his mobile，“Minerva， how many photos of the kids have we got?”
The AI popped up from nowhere on the screen，“Since you asked sir， the family album has taken up at least three quarters of the storage， which means there are over one thousand photos totally， and that seriously lagges the processing speed of the mobile. That"s why I suggest deleting half......”
“Thanks， Minerva. That"s what I need to learn for the moment.”Lock nodded to the AI， as if she could see. Actully she did notice that， she waved back happily and was off.
Lock said to Mandy as sincerely as possible，“I believe what you have already owned weighs much more than what you thought had lost.”
Mandy lamented，“How do you know this is the best for me? I could have led another life.....”l
“I don"t think it"s the right attitude for life. It seems you will always be regretting over your each and every choice or decision.” There was an edge to his voice， but he stayed cool，“Stop paring with others" lives and stop moaning for more. The fisherman and his wife should have been contented with what they have received from the gold fish and they"d better not beg for more than they deserved.”
Mandy remarked with a dangerous tone，“Are you telling me I don"t deserve the best of life?”
Lock sensed something，“Don"t twist it. You know what I meant. You would never be able to figure out what the best is when you were sixteen.”
Mandy murmured as if she had been in a dream，“How I wish to be sixteen again， care free.”
Lock came nearer to her， and hugged her， leaving his wheelchair behind，“The point is， whatever happens to you， from now on to sixty or ninety， you will always have us.”
Mandy burst into tears，“I have nothing except you and the kids. I feel cold. This world looks at me with vicious eyes.”
“You can always count on us，” Lock promised，“I give you my word. There"s no parting of us until one dies. Stay positive and cherish every minute.”
Mandy leaned against Lock"s shoulder， totally forgetting he should not have stood up and supported her weight.“I won"t fall for it. They look as if worried for me but I guess they really enjoyed themselves seeing me almost crashed.”
she looked at Lock and was suddenly startled，“I was almost taken in....... I shouldn"t have told them how I broke down......I would never let them receive the wrong message as if my life were a joke.”
