"Uncle Martin!" Susie exclaimed with delight. "How did you come?"

Martin glanced at Ledger and said, "He contacted me."

Susie's affairs here, Ledger was also afraid to act rashly, so he only contacted Martin.

Although Martin was unsure why Susie wasn't "asleep" at the Murray's manor and appeared here, he didn't ask too many questions.

Afraid that Alana would worry, he only mentioned going to work and came over to check if Susie had woken up. Although Ledger said he would call him if Susie woke up, he still came over.

"Thank you, Ledger!" Susie sincerely apologized. "I will come to visit you during the Chinese New Year!"

Ledger immediately nodded, "Hmm!"

Martin on one side: "..."

You hesitated at least.

Ledger helped Susie open the car door and watched her get in before closing the door.

"Goodbye!" Susie stuck her head out of the window and waved at him.

Ledger said, "Goodbye!"

Martin nodded in gratitude and the car slowly drove away.

It was snowing heavily outside, with the wind howling. Ledger stood by the roadside, watching the cars drive away. Before long, his shoulders were covered in a blanket of snow.

"Sir, please get in the car quickly."

Ledger nodded and got into the car, then left.

***

Susie rushed back home, and finally the car arrived at the Murray's manor.

When Martin's car came back, everyone didn't have much expectation.

"Ah, it was just my older brother who came back."

"Oh, big brother finished work... There's nothing interesting to watch."

"I went upstairs to take care of something."

Wade, Zion, and Jinny followed Clara, their eyes fixed on her.

Clara: "Look what I'm doing, your dear father/husband/uncle has returned."

Wade: "My dad came back when he came back, what's so special about it?"

It's not like I brought my sister back.

Auntie, where did Susie go?

Jinny nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, what about Susie?"

Clara: "I don't know either, isn't it the same as waiting with you guys? Don't give it away, Mom will be even more worried later."

She looked downstairs and saw that Alana was still sitting by the window, watching the wind and snow outside, muttering to herself.

"Would such a heavy snowstorm hinder Susie and Clara from getting home?"

"Ah... It's already dark, and he still hasn't come back today..."

Clara felt a pang of sadness.

I really wanted to tell her, "Mom, I'm here!"

But she and Susie were supposed to appear together, one came back and the other didn't... it would have been better if neither of them came back.

The sound of the car door closing echoed, Martin's coat looked a bit strange, but it was just because he was tall, not very noticeable unless you looked closely, let alone in the dim and snowy weather.

Martin's face remained unchanged, his steps steady as ever... Instead of holding the briefcase in his hand, it was tucked under his arm, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, accompanying Susie's mischief.

Alana glanced and saw that Martin had returned, so she withdrew her gaze and continued to look outside the door.

When they entered the room, Martin's coat was open and Susie's head was sticking out.

"Dang! Surprise!!"

Alana widened her eyes and suddenly stood up, being stunned by the enormous surprise: "Susie!"

Susie ran towards her and said, "Grandma, I'm back!"

Alana held her tightly and scolded, "You, child, always come back so late..."

"Are you hungry? Everyone hasn't eaten yet! We're just waiting for you!"

Susie felt warm in her heart and said, "You don't have to wait for me, it's already so late..."

Alana shook her head and asked again, "Where is your mother?"

Clara had already come down and was hiding behind Martin. Upon hearing the words, she poked her head out and said, "I'm here! Mom, you didn't even hug me first, you're biased!"

She pouted her mouth and murmured coquettishly.

Alana embraced her in her arms, patting her here and there, saying, "Being a mother and still competing with your own child?"

Clara smiled, and as she smiled, she felt a hint of tears welling up in her eyes. Her mother's hair had turned completely white, and there were many more wrinkles on her face, but her hands were still as warm as Clara remembered.

The Murray's manor was originally bustling - there were more people than usual, making it livelier than usual.

It was really lively now.

Jamie's voice was the first to sound, as early as when Susie poked her head out and said "Surprise," he eagerly crawled quickly, saying, "Sis, catch, catch, catch!"

Wade and Lucy rushed downstairs, followed by Zion. Hamza was already in the living room on the first floor, and even though he walked slowly, he was the first to reach Susie's side.

"Sister!" Wade suddenly hugged Susie, his heart finally settled: "You're finally back!"

Lucy forcefully moved Wade aside and embraced Susie, saying, "Wow, I missed you so much!"

Zoom-

Wade was thrown aside.

He was so angry that he wanted to kick Lucy. Now, not only is Lucy taller than him, but she also has more strength after taking the power pill. It really infuriates him.

But in the end, Jamie won.

Hamza held Jamie and said, "Susie, Jamie wants you to hold him."

Jamie: "Sister... Sister, sister!"

His pronunciation became clearer.

Susie immediately answered the call.

Jamie looked at his older siblings and flashed a victorious smile.

Lucy and her friends: "..."
