Flowers bloom and wither. Waves rise and fall. Another Life comes and goes. I still remember our vows. But when I open my mouth, why is it so hard to get the words out? You stand in front of me, without even recognizing me. Since when have I been no longer a part of your memory?"

Blair covered her mouth, trying not to cry out loud. She didn't want the others to see her tears. Yet, sobbing sounds came from the window next to hers. Niles was having an emotional moment in all senses.

"This is so touching and all. But that's my brother, you know. He didn't even look at me after seeing his wife."

The others roared with laughter.

But Wesley was the only thing on Blair's mind at that moment. She didn't even hear what Niles was crying about. The meeting threw her off guard. She was still dumbstruck.

Wesley's eyes were fixed on her as the train moved forward slowly

However, as soon as the train passed Wesley, it started to pick up pace once again.

Blair wiped her tears and ran back a few cars, but the train was going so fast that he could no longer be seen anymore.

Niles caught up to her, his phone in his hand.

"Blair!"

Blair looked out the window with a lost expression on her face. Her vision was blurry again. After a long while, she brushed her tears away and asked in a hoarse voice, "You knew that he would be here?"

"Yes," he admitted with a tinge of embarrassment.

“Grandpa knew as well. He heard that Wesley would be working somewhere close by. So, he asked him to wait for us here. We figured that if you couldn't see him after coming all this way, this trip would have been a complete waste of time for you."

"So Grandpa and Niles arranged all this for me, ' she thought, as her heart filled with genuine gratitude.

“Thank you, Niles. And Grandpa too. I'm so grateful to you both."

Everyone in the Leonard family was nice to her.

Niles snickered as he swung his phone before her, "Look here. I took a picture of Wesley at the platform. Do you want me to send it to you?"

Blair grabbed his phone and looked at the screen. It was the picture of him saluting her. His straight frame and standard posture said enough about what an outstanding soldier he was.

Niles sent her the picture. And Blair immediately made it her wallpaper. Afterwards, she would look at this picture whenever she missed him.

It was already afternoon when they reached Kisas. The journey was tiring. So, they checked into a hotel first to get some rest and agreed to go out and have some fun in the evening.

Niles talked to Ingrid beforehand so that Blair would have a room to herself. The others shared their rooms, with two or three people in one room.

The evening was freezing cold. Blair put on a thick coat and went out with the others to have a Late supper. But she came back to the hotel soon after dinner.

The living conditions in the border were not satisfactory. And the hotels were pricey too. Their rooms, which cost over 1, 000 dollars a night, were far more expensive than their counterpart in the Central

Plains.

But they were traveling. She couldn't compare a hotel room to her own home. She had to put up with it.
