Chapter 425 - 8.25 Ella’s Diary
Ozzie plopped her butt on top of the table and carefully flipped through the old paper using the pad of her paw, keeping her claws in so as to not damage the delicate sheet. It was more than half-filled. Sometimes, Ella forgot to write down the date, but from the available ones, Lu Yizhou could tell that she had been writing it for years.
Her writing had started as a messy scrawl typical of a child who had just learned to write, and then as years passed, it became smoother and more graceful. Sharing the same sight, the two of them started from page one and entered Ella’s mind.
[Blue is the sky’s color. Why is the sky blue? I want to draw it pink. Mommy laughs when she hears me.]
[My dolls are named Bianca. Mommy asks why I name all of my dolls with Bianca. I don’t know. I just really like that name. It’s the most beautiful name in the world!]
’Daddy...’ Ozzie’s trembling voice echoed in his mind. ’Does Mommy remember me?’
Lu Yizhou was also surprised, but he quickly regained his bearings. It was just a guess, but it might be his lover’s soul that was resonating with each other. In the rest station, Zeke was already strong enough to regain consciousness and remember bits and pieces of himself so it was not strange for him to affect the others too. He mentally tried to convey reassurance and comfort to the little feline and said softly, ’I hope so, Ozzie.’
The first few pages were filled with a similar tone. Ella was a very curious and bright little girl. She asked questions that people wouldn’t have thought of before and then she would always jot down ’Mommy laughs when she hears me.’ Just from Ella’s words, they could see that Madam Knox was a gentle and affectionate mother who spoiled and teased her daughter a lot. Their relationship sounded very harmonious.
Another flood of nostalgia overwhelmed him and Lu Yizhou couldn’t help but smile. He was right, Ella really reminded him of the young Ren Zexi in terms of their childish curiosity.
They continued to flip through the pages and gradually found some interesting entries. Counting the years, Ella must be around seven or eight years old.
