In September, when school was about to start, Philip Shaw brought Guoguo over for Aldana Candi to meet.
Guoguo had recently undergone heart bypass surgery and had been staying in the hospital. She was just discharged and when she was brought in front of Aldana Candi, tears silently streamed down her pale face. Without making a sound, she clung to Aldana Candi's neck, burying her face in her embrace, looking pitifully aggrieved.
The little girl cried so sadly, Aldana Candi's heart was about to break. Guoguo had just finished surgery when Philip Shaw took her back to Tung City, without even caring for her for a few days. Seeing Guoguo now, with her little face thinner, Aldana felt guilty and distressed, and she started crying as well.
Mother and daughter hugged each other, silently weeping, while Philip Shaw stood by, awkwardly rubbing his nose, wisely choosing to remain silent.
