Chapter 11 — The day we broke up, I inherited 5 billion yuan

He was so worried that his face turned pale. I laughed.

"It's only been two months."

"You're not that fragile yet."

Since that day. Co Canh Tham pampered me even more. He personally cooks each nutritious meal. Personally took me to a prenatal checkup. I even bought a whole bookshelf full of handbooks on how to care for pregnant mothers and raise children. Look at the man who is increasingly clumsy but also increasingly gentle. I smiled slightly. God does not take away anyone's happiness. He just let it come a little later. Luckily. I still have time to meet someone who will love me with all sincerity. Looking at him attentively studying each book, my heart suddenly felt strangely warm. This man... Really loves me. Also really love our child. One year later. Our daughter was born. I named my child Giang Tam Duyet, I hope he will be peaceful and happy all his life. Looking at my little daughter in diapers, I remembered my childhood. If their parents were still alive... Seeing their grandchildren, they would surely be very happy.

"She looks a lot like me."

Co Canh Tham gently looked at his daughter.

"Eyes like yours."

"The bridge of the nose is similar to yours."

I bent down to look at my child for a long time and then burst out laughing.

"The mouth is like yours."

"Even the chin is like yours."

The two of us looked at each other and smiled. My heart is filled with happiness. When Tam Duyet was three years old. The whole family came together to visit my parents' graves. I held my daughter and stood in front of the tombstone.

"This is Tam Duyet."

"Your grandchild."

The girl spoke in a young voice:

"Hello grandpa, grandma!"

Even though I still don't understand the meaning of separation. I still very obediently bowed my head to the two tombstones. That moment. Parents are definitely smiling in heaven. Their bloodline... Has been continued. Their family... Will also be passed down. Five years passed. The feelings between me and Co Canh Tham are getting deeper and deeper. We run Co Thi and Giang Thi together. Raising our daughter together. Life is busy though. But extremely complete. Sometimes I remember Han Dat of the past. There are no longer any ripples in my heart. That emotional part... Like a youthful dream. I'm awake. Only a few faint memories remain. True love should be like that. It's about guiding each other. Grow up together. Together we build a future that belongs to both of us. It's Tam Duyet's fifth birthday. Co Canh Tham prepared a surprise for me.

"Dad said he would give mom a special gift!"

Tam Duyet grabbed my hand and eagerly pulled me into the living room. Co Canh Tham is standing there. In his hand is a delicate velvet box.

"What is this?"

"I'll open it and see."

I slowly opened the box. Inside is a necklace. But just seeing the gem on it... I was stunned.

"...This is..."

Co Canh Tham smiled gently.

"It's a Spirit necklace."

"The treasure was lost when Giang Thi Chau Treasure was acquired that year."

I looked at him in surprise.

"Spirit Necklace..."

That is Giang Thi's town treasure. Also a family heirloom from my grandmother. That year, after Giang Thi went bankrupt. It also disappeared without a trace. I used to think... I would never find it again.

"How did you find it?"

"Through a private collector."

"There was a huge price to pay."

Co Canh Tham gently wore the thread necklace around my neck.

"But now..."

"It has returned to its owner."

I reached out to touch the necklace. Tears kept falling silently. This is not just a piece of jewelry. It's also a family inheritance. A testament to the blood that continues to flow.

"Thank you."

I hugged Co Canh Tham tightly.

"Thank you..."

"For everything you've done for me."

He gently stroked my hair.

"So stupid."

"We are husband and wife."

"My past..."

"It's also your past."

That moment. I finally understand. What is true love? It's not a fierce fire. It's a stream of warm water that flows endlessly. Not possession. Nor is it a requirement. It's about giving. It's protection. Co Canh Tham passed away five years. To find my family's treasure. And use twenty-eight years of my life. To prove two words of promise. That night. After coaxing Tam Duyet to sleep. The two of us sat on the balcony watching the night sky. I suddenly asked him:

"Have you ever regretted it?"

"Regret what?"

"Regret waiting for you for so many years."

"While..."

"I once loved someone else."

Co Canh Tham was silent for a long time. Then burst out laughing.

"I know all these years..."

"How have you lived?"

I shook my head.

"Every time I want to give up."

"I remember the little girl from before."

"The little girl cried until her eyes turned red because of a kitten."

"She always gives me candy."

His eyes were gentle like water.

"I know..."

"That girl is always there."

"It's just..."

"Too much dust covered by life."

"So..."

"I'm ready to wait."

"Wait for that girl..."

"Bloom once more."

I was so emotional that I was speechless. The person he loves. Not my identity. Not my fortune. It's who I am.

"Giang Nhu."

"We..."

"Let's have another child."

I looked at the man in front of me. A stream of warm water welled up in my heart. Our little family. Every day is more complete. Life is also becoming happier day by day. Sometimes I still wonder. If that year... I had never met Han Dat. Never spent three years living as a foster parent. Do I know how to appreciate today's happiness? Because of each step through the darkness. That's why we appreciate light even more. Because I have been hurt. So I understand the value of sincere love even more. Thank you for the years that have passed. Helped me become a better version of myself. Also thank Co Canh Tham. Because I patiently waited. To finally... Give me a complete life. Our story. Start from a miss. But it ends with the most sincere love. And that love... Will accompany us through every spring, summer, fall, and winter of life.
