Charlie understands that Link and him can't be said to be true friends yet. But it can be seen through the eyes of collaborators.

So, he explained his plans for the future to Link in as much detail as possible.

For example, he will make efforts to promote employment, and at the same time, he will pay more attention to families in need. It will also strengthen ties with minorities in California.

He will be based in California, and if he can run for Congress, he will stay mostly in California when Congress is not in session. That would make it easier for him to move up the ladder in California.

Link also listened carefully to his plan.

Understand the other party's career plan, and he can also do a good job in the plan he funded.

Now, of course, Charlie is running for the upper state legislature and can influence California's internal policies. He can also give some feedback to the funder Benihans. Although that probably doesn't work much. But his greatest advantage as a state legislator is not that he can directly facilitate a certain company or a certain person. Rather, as a state legislator, he is qualified to communicate policy issues with other state legislators and try to persuade other legislators and officials to implement the policies he wants.

To put it bluntly, it is to successfully break into the circle of policymakers, and then be qualified to develop their own networks in the circle, and finally use the network to exchange with each other to achieve their own goals.

Link and Charlie met, ostensibly to ask each other about their career plans, but in fact they were willing to support each other's attitude.

This kind of statement does not need to be said clearly by Link, both sides know that there is a necessary premise: the two sides cooperate happily.

Link and Charlie met and talked in each other's study for more than an hour. He then had lunch at Charlie's house, and in the afternoon he went to Sacramento and stayed at the hotel.

Jessica also spent the night in his hotel room that night.

The two didn't get up until ten o'clock the next day.

At noon, Link laughed and helped Jessica back to her house.

After spending some time at Jessica's house, he went to Nevada. He was going to take Hannah on a trip to Germany.

Barbara heard that he had no reason to object to this decision. Hannah was only a year old when she was brought to the United States, and she certainly couldn't remember what her mother looked like, but now that she can recognize people, it's time for her to know who her mother is.

Although the range of the G650 was long enough, Link made the plane transfer in Ottawa before flying towards Berlin.

After they checked into the hotel in Berlin, Link found a car and went to the cemetery.

In the cemetery, Hannah stands in front of her mother's tombstone in thick clothes.

The term mom was new to her. But she knew what her mother meant. It's just that she doesn't remember having a mother. But Daddy told her that the person in the photo was her mother.

She followed Link's words and placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, and then took Link's hand and stood in front of the tombstone. She looked up at Link, and she felt that Daddy seemed to be very unhappy: "Daddy, hug!"

Link looked at the ever-fixed smile on the tombstone, and there was only a trance in his heart.

On weekdays, he would hardly think of this woman who had left a deep mark on his life, but now when he sees the photos, that short week of happy time feels like yesterday.

He came back to his senses when he heard Hannah shout.

He crouched down, held Hannah in his arms with one hand, caressed the picture on the tombstone with the other, and said to her, "This is Hannah's mother, you have to remember what she looks like." Because she's the one who loves Hannah the most!"

Hannah is small, but she can feel the heaviness of Daddy's words. She nodded heavily and said, "I'll remember Mom!"

Link also knows that getting a three-year-old to understand this can be difficult. He had decided to bring Hannah every year from now on. When she grows up, she will be able to understand the meaning of the sleeping people here for her life.

He squatted and looked at the picture quietly for a long time before he said, "Hannah is fine, healthy, and beautiful." She has four pets, two curly-haired Bichons, and two half-sized cougars. She also likes to ride in horse-drawn carriages, she has her own carriage and two Jepsi Vanier horses. She also met a lot of children, and they all loved to play with her. She loves to draw. She had a painter teacher who said she was very talented in painting...... I'll take care of our daughter!" he said to her as he stood up, reached out and touched Hannah's head. "Hannah, say goodbye to Mom. We'll come back to see her next year!"

Hannah looked at him, then smiled and waved at the picture of the tombstone and said, "Bye-bye, Mommy, Daddy and I will come back next year!"

Tiger drove around the purpose. Link thought for a moment and said to him, "Don't go back to the hotel yet, I'm going to a place." He said an address from memory.

Tiger followed the navigation to the place Link had said.

What Link is looking for is Anne Marie Snyder. The German female lawyer who told him of Hannah's existence. Hannah doesn't know what would have happened if she hadn't taken care of Hannah. And if it weren't for her loyalty to Diane's last wishes, he might never even know he had a daughter.

Link looked at the neighborhood to make sure he was right. But he rang the doorbell and no one came to open the door. He thought about it for a while, and decided that there was nothing else to do in Germany anyway, so he decided to wait in the car.

It didn't take long for it to get dark. At around six o'clock in the afternoon, he saw a car parked outside the courtyard of Annemarie Snyder's house. He saw Anne Marie Snyder get out of the car, and after the car had left, he got out of the car: "Anne Marie." ”

Anne Marie Snyder heard someone call herself in English, turned around strangely, saw him in the light of the street lamp, and said in surprise, "Link? She said and walked over. "Is Hannah okay?"

Link laughed and said, "She's fine!" he said to the car. "Hannah, come out!"

"Daddy, cold!" said Hannah, obediently getting out of the car.

Link smiled and picked her up, and said to her, "This is Anne Marie, a good friend of your mother's. She has taken care of you for a long time. ”

Hannah put her arms around his neck and said to Anne Marie, "Anne Marie, it's nice to meet you! I'm Hannah Lim. ”

When Anne Marie Snyder saw her, she smiled and said, "I'm glad to meet you, Hannah!" and she said to Link again. "She's so cute! Diane would be happy if she knew. ”

Link nodded and said, "Yes, she's cute and smarter than the average child. I came to Germany this time to let her know about her mother. He paused before continuing. "We just came back from the cemetery. ”

"You and Hannah can go and see her, and I think she'll be happy in heaven. By the way, when it gets dark, the temperature drops quickly, and we go into the house and say. ”

Link told Hannah about the past two years at Annemarie's house. He stayed at Annemarie's house for about an hour before leaving with Hannah.

This is an explanation, so that anyone who may care about Hannah can rest assured.

After returning to the hotel, Link asked for room service for himself and his bodyguards, and asked the hotel to bring dinner.

At the end of the meal, Hannah sat in the children's chair and obediently ate her dinner. Link didn't amuse her either.

However, when he noticed that she looked at him as soon as he took a bite, he smiled and said, "Why does Hannah always look at Daddy? Is there something on Daddy's face?"

Hannah shook her head with the spoon in her hand and said, "Daddy has nothing on his face!"

"So Hannah has something to say to Daddy?"

Hannah nodded and asked, "Daddy, why does Mom live in the cemetery?"

Link's smile paused, and after a while he said, "Because Mommy left us and went to heaven!"

"Where is heaven?"

"Far, far away?" he added, pursing his lips. "Very, very far!"

"Why isn't mom with us? ”

Link didn't know what to answer her for a moment.

After a long time, he smiled and carried her from the chair into his arms, and said, "No matter where my mother is, she is the one who loves Hannah the most." Mom will always be watching Hannah from heaven, and if Hannah is not happy, she will be unhappy too. Hannah is happy, and she will be happy. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! So Hannah must be happy, happy, and healthy!"

………………

Link came to Germany for the sole purpose of taking Hannah to pay homage to Diane. After this was done, he had no intention of continuing to stay in Germany. However, he did not return to the United States immediately. Instead, he flew to Leeds, England. He was going to visit Albert's friend Bank.

It was the only friend he knew in the UK. It is also a major agent of Blue Lagoon wines in the UK.

They rented a car from Leeds airport and came to Bank's estate. The plantation on the manor had decayed a bit due to the winter, but Bank was still in good spirits. He was waiting for Link outside the door of the villa.

When he saw Link get out of the car, he walked over quickly. Link put Hannah down, took two quick steps forward and shook hands with the other party, saying, "I'm so glad to see you more energetic than last time." ”

"Haha, even though I'm older than you, I don't admit I'm old. Banker smiled at the little girl who was holding Link and looking at him. "What beautiful eyes! Lovely little girl, are you Hannah?"

"You know me? I'm Hannah Lim. It's Daddy's daughter!"

Link picked her up and said, "This is Mr. Brainard." ”

"Hello, Mr. Brainard!"

"I'm fine. Hannah, you're okay!" Banker smiled and held out his hand to her.

Hannah blinked, reaching out to shake his hand as Link had just done.

But Banker came with a kiss.

Hannah didn't know why, and shy withdrew her hand and buried her head in Link's neck, not looking at the strange Mr. Brainard.

Banker was amused by her reaction. He smiled and said, "Well, Link, and the lovely little Hannah." Shall we go in and sit down for some refreshments?"

"Why not?"
