Chapter 247: Recognition
For Henry, it was only a month, but the outside world had been 30 years, and he really couldn't imagine how his wife Linda had worked hard with her two children in these 30 years.
Even if his son and daughter have someone else's surname, he doesn't blame Linda, there is no way to blame it, and he can only blame himself.
At that time, he had just returned from the army, and he had a very stable job as a police instructor, but because his family needed money, he heard that a freighter full of treasure had sunk in the sea, and there was a treasure hunt at that time, so he took the risk to join the treasure hunt.
Who knew that so many things had happened in the end, and 30 years had passed in a blink of an eye, which made Henry very painful.
"Maybe I'm mistaken!" Henry touched his head, with a hint of apology on his face, and then pulled Zhuo Xiaodong out of the data room quickly.
But at this time, Lucy had already dialed her grandmother Linda's phone, "Grandmother, just now a man named Henry came to the police station to check your address, and said that my father's surname is Robert, it's really strange. ”
At this time, Linda's tone on the other end of the phone became very excited, almost startling Lucy, "Where is he now?" What does he look like, is he bearded? ”
"He's bearded, looks like he's in his 30s, and he's just gone." Lucy said with a blank face, although she didn't know who Henry was, but she felt that there was something strange in it, because the more she thought about it, the more similar Henry looked like his father, "Grandmother, why did he say that my father's surname was Robert, do you know him?" ”
"Go get that guy back right now, I'll come right over." After Linda hung up the phone, the whole person trembled excitedly, she secretly felt that this man must be her husband Henry, no matter what the reason is that his age has not increased, but Linda is absolutely confident that she will not be mistaken.
Since marrying a new husband, she has sealed all Henry's things, and she will not mention Henry in front of her sons, daughters and grandchildren, nor will she allow her sons and daughters to mention it, so Henry has long been forgotten by everyone.
But Lucy's phone call rekindled her thoughts about Henry, and Linda immediately called her son Jimmy to drive her to the police station, and when Jimmy learned that a man named Henry appeared, his first reaction was indeed that he must have met a liar.
In fact, Jimmy's relationship with this boss is not too deep, Jimmy has been serving in the army when he was a child, living a life of gathering less and leaving more, and when Henry retired soon after, he disappeared, which also made Jimmy's recognition of his father can only be obtained in photos.
Soon, the mother and son came to the police station in a hurry, but Henry was long gone, Zhuo Xiaodong took him to sit down in the café opposite, Clark looked at the sullen Henry, but he was more interested in this coincidence, in his opinion, Henry's pick-up techniques are quite unique.
"Lucy, where is the man named Henry?" Linda quickly walked into Lucy's office and asked, looking at Lucy with a blank face, her heart ached sharply, the scars of many years were uncovered again, no matter what, she always believed that Henry was still alive, and before she died, she must ask where this negative man went.
"Mom, maybe my father has already started another family, and it should be his son who came to look for you this time. It's been 30 years, how can a person not get old. Jimmy's face was full of doubt.
When Lucy took them to see the surveillance of the police station, Linda's whole person completely collapsed, looking at the man in the surveillance screen, he was the Henry she remembered, almost unchanged, except that he was wearing a suit and leather shoes.
Linda pulled out an old photograph that had been preserved for a long time, and two lines of tears came out of her eyes, she had dried her tears since Henry's disappearance, and this was the first time she had cried in so many years.
Lucy took the photo, and then kept comparing it with the man in the surveillance, how it looked like the same person, this photo was taken before Henry was ready to go to sea, and all Linda's memories of him are stuck in that moment.
"Is it really the same person?" Lucy also had a puzzled expression.
Jimmy never wanted to believe that his father, Henry, had turned into a man younger than himself, which was completely inconsistent with the theory of biological evolution.
"Lucy, you must help me find this person." Linda clutched her granddaughter's hand, her wrinkled face showing a nervous expression, she had never seen her grandmother look like this.
"Who the hell is he?" Lucy whispered to her father.
Jimmy glanced at her, but didn't say anything, he didn't want to tell his daughter, who didn't know anything about it, maybe it was an oolong, he had always thought that the man who called himself Henry must be another son of his father. If that were the case, he would never have recognized this father again, let alone tell his daughter about him.
Jimmy helped his mother out of the police station, and then an old man and a young man stood on the side of the road and watched, Linda's face was full of anxiety, she had been thinking about Henry all the time for many years, maybe because she wanted a reason, why?
Henry, who was sitting in the coffee shop across the road, shuddered violently, he looked directly at Linda and Jimmy, although so many years have passed, he still recognized his wife and son at a glance, and soon an Audi car stopped firmly in front of the mother and son, and walked down a capable woman in professional attire, looking about 40 years old.
At this moment, Henry's eyes have long been blurred, and his eyes are full of tears, this woman is his daughter Susan, and he can clearly see in his mind the scene of taking Susan and Jimmy to the amusement park the day before he went to sea.
Zhuo Xiaodong turned his head to look out the window, and then looked at Henry's expression, he understood everything, and then patted Henry's shoulder heavily and said, "There are some things that must be faced, and you owe them an explanation no matter what." ”
Henry poured the hot coffee in the cup suddenly, and Clark was stunned when he saw the opposite side, but he didn't know what Henry's expression was for, if he wasn't Zhuo Xiaodong's friend, I'm afraid he would have to investigate him.
I saw that Henry walked out of the hesitation for a moment and finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the café, also standing on the side of the road, face to face with his wife and children, but there was a road in the middle.
"What's wrong with your friend, it looks so weird." Clark asked, pointing to Henry outside, who seemed to have something out of his mind.
"Don't make a sound." Zhuo Xiaodong made a shush gesture, and then looked out the window for a moment, this scene was indeed very dramatic, he didn't want to miss such a scene.
While Henry was standing across the road looking at his relatives, Linda on the other side seemed to feel something, and looked at Henry suddenly, and the moment the eyes of the two met, Linda was 100% sure that the man in front of her, who looked no more than 30 years old, was her husband.
There was a lot of traffic on the road, Linda actually walked across the road regardless of it, Jimmy and Susan also looked at Henry, and they were both stunned at the same time, this man's appearance was exactly the same as the appearance of their father in their memory.
"Father"
"Is it really him?" Jimmy was a little skeptical.
Because they could see it, they didn't even notice that their mother had walked to the middle of the road, only to see a large truck speeding not far away, constantly honking its horn towards Linda, because the speed was very fast, it seemed that it was a little unable to brake.
Zhuo Xiaodong held the coffee cup tightly, looking at this scene, his heart also rose to his throat.
"No, that mother-in-law is going to be hit by a car, ask your friend to save her." Clark shouted.
Jimmy and Susan looked horrified, they were really scared silly, and they became helpless for a while.
At this moment, the man standing across the road finally moved, he ran towards Linda with an arrow step, the speed was amazing, like a cheetah running rapidly, more importantly, the traffic on the road was endless, but he turned a blind eye, several cars braked sharply because of his sudden appearance, and at this moment Henry had completely left his life behind.
I saw Henry run to the middle of the road, grab Linda's waist, and then jump up and pounce on the side of the road.
The large truck sped past them, with a strong gust of wind, and soon several police cars pulled up their sirens and chased after the large truck.
Henry's own body fell heavily to the ground, and he hugged Linda tightly so that she was not hurt in the slightest, while his own clothes were torn and his hands were scratched.
"Henry, Henry. Robert? Linda quickly stood up, looked at Henry, and shouted.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Henry felt a sour feeling in his heart, his once beautiful wife had aged like this, perhaps because he missed him too strongly, and it also made Linda age faster than ordinary people.
"Linda, I'm sorry for you, I'm back" At this moment, the tears in the eyes of Henry, a tough guy, burst out of his eyes involuntarily, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Linda also cried into tears, hugging her husband tightly after 30 years of absence, she couldn't believe that time couldn't play a role in Henry's body.
Jimmy and Susan cried, and the family hugged each other tightly, no matter how many misunderstandings and resentments there were, all of them disappeared at this moment of family reunion.
"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you," Henry kept repeating. R1152
