Chapter 39 Looking for the Hero
"Sheffield!" Alina cried out, trying to catch up, and was stopped by Wendy, who was winking at her
daughter.
"Honey, Sheffield was in the rebellious phase of his youth. You know how obstinate he is. It's no
wonder that he's angry when he heard such harsh words."
Enraged, Eric shouted, "He still dares to be angry. He's trying to piss me off!"
"Let him go." "Alaina, ask the driver to drive you to find Sheffield back!," said Wendy in a soft voice.
"Don't look for him. Leave him alone outside to calm down!" Eric was still very angry.
"Dad..." Just when Alina was about to say, she was stopped by Wendy again. "Your father is right.
Sheffield is so young and impulsive. Even if you find him, you might not be able to persuade him back.
It's better to listen to your father and leave him alone now. You can go to find him later."
"Dad, Mom, I'd better go and find him now. I'm worried about him," said Alina, shaking off Wendy's
hands.
After that, she ran away without waiting for their reaction.
Looking at her daughter's angry face, Wendy blamed her for being nosy. Why not leave that boy
outside? He'd better not come back for ten days or half a month.
Actually, Eric was glad to see that. Sheffield was his biological son and Alina was his stepdaughter. He
hoped they cloud get along with each other and care for each other.
When Alina ran out of the gate, Sheffield was out of sight. Then, she ran to the road to look, but still
didn't see him. So, she went back to the villa and asked the driver to drive her to find him.
It was the first time for Alina to take the passenger seat. She stared at both sides of the road in case of
missing him.
To be honest, she was surprised by Sheffield's performance today. He was so proud and arrogant. She
couldn't believe that he would say that he was bullied and speak for her.
Whatever his reason for helping her, it was a fact that he helped her, and she accepted it.
'What's wrong with Eric? He could talk to me nicely, but couldn't he be polite to his son? No father
would ever speak ill of his own son!'
She could feel that Eric was really concerned about his son. He was angry but still calm when he heard
that she was bullied. But when he heard that Sheffield had been bullied many times, he couldn't keep
calm and got furious.
Although Eric was usually nicer to her, she could feel that he really cared about Sheffield from this kind
of thing.
That was not strange at all. After all, he was his own son and she was his stepdaughter. It would be
abnormal if he valued her more.
Alina looked all the way but didn't find Sheffield. Having no idea where he was, Alina asked the driver
to drive around, hoping that she could see him by accident
Until it was almost lunchtime, the driver said, "Miss Alaina, we have been looking for Mr. Sheffield for a
long time. Maybe he is back now. Shall we go back?"
"What time is it now?" asked Alina, looking at the dazzling sunshine outside.
"Eleven thirty five."
"... Well, let's go back."
As soon as the car arrived at the Xu Family's house, Alina asked Peter, "Is Sheffield back?"
"No, Mr. Sheffield isn't back."
"I have looked for him for a long time, but I still can't find him. Do you know where he usually goes?"
Peter thought for a moment and told her a place, "You can go there and have a look."
"Ok, I'll go now." Then Alina turned around and left.
As soon as the driver parked the car, he saw Alina. "Take me to the West Forest Mountain."
"Miss Alaina, why do you go there?" The driver was confused. Why she was going to a place like that.
"Just take me there."
He was a driver. Whatever Miss Alaina said, he would do it.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the West Forest Mountain.
The West Forest Mountain was the best and biggest graveyard in the city, where Sheffield's mother
was buried.
Alina didn't know the name of Sheffield's mother, so she couldn't ask the guards where her tomb was.
The driver had never been here, and he didn't know where the tomb was.
Alina had no choice but to look for it one by one.
Walking among the tombstones, Alina was wondering whether there was a tombstone with her name
engraved on a hill in her hometown.
She remembered there was a joke on the Internet that in the future, not names but QR codes would be
engraved on tombstones. As long as you scanned the QR code, you could see the story of the tomb
owner's life.
At that time, she thought the netizens were so imaginative, but now she only felt sad.
Alina walked for a long time from the bottom to the mountainside. She felt an impulse to sit down and
rest as she looked at the mass of tombstones.
The sun was shining brightly at noon and Alina was bathed in sweat. She was getting hotter and
thirstier.
'Sheffield, where is your mother buried? If I can't find her, I'm going to accompany her!'
As Alina wiped sweat off her forehead, she shaded the sun with her hand.
As she reached the top of the mountain, Alina finally saw the boy sleeping soundly beside a tombstone.
He leaned against the tombstone with 'Eric Xu's beloved wife' and 'Beloved son Sheffield' on it.
The tomb owner was Queenie Fang.
It turned out that the hero's mother was called Queenie Fang, which had never been mentioned in the
novel. Perhaps it was mentioned, but she was absorbed in the plot and did not notice.
Sheffield's bangs fell gently on his thick eyelashes. He breathed evenly and slept well.
There were gray marks on his knees, and he must have knelt down to worship his mother.
As breeze blew, the boy's hair fluttered with the wind. The dancing tips of his hair tickled his eyes. Alina
saw him frown in discomfort.
Alina didn't know how she felt at this moment.
She looked at the name on the tombstone and said in her heart, "Mrs. Fang, you have a good son.
Your son may be suffering some grievance now, but he will be brilliant and famous in the future."
Alina didn't know how long she had stood in front of the tomb, her feet got numb. However, Sheffield
was still in a sound sleep. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
'Why isn't he awake?' She just sat down on the other side of the tombstone. She didn't know how long
he would sleep, so she had to wait for a while on the other side of the tombstone.
As soon as Alina sat down, she felt tired and fell asleep leaning against the tombstone.
