Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 128 The dusty past

Anne drove to the address mentioned in Taylor's letter.

This wooden cabin on the outskirts of Seattle has long been abandoned, surrounded by weeds and the roof is in ruins.

Seeing this dilapidated scene, Anne's suspicions increased a bit.

The electronic lock at the front door had long been broken, and the password Taylor had given him was useless.

"Clang!"

Anne picked up a stone from the roadside, smashed the window glass, and then took a long step and climbed into the house.

"crunch~"

"crunch~"

Anne walked up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor and pushed open the door on her left.

The photos hanging on the wall were covered with thick dust. When the door was opened, the disturbed air flow stirred up the photos, and they flew excitedly in the air, as if welcoming the return of their owner.

Through the dust, Annie could still recognize the smiling face of the girl on the wall. She was leaning in Lin Yuan's arms, smiling so brightly, as if all the wealth in the world could not replace the happiness at that moment.

This should be the room where Taylor lived back then, but now it's empty.

"Shu~"

Anne opened the drawer of her desk and found a pink diary lying quietly inside.

She gently brushed off the dust and flipped through the pages.

"Today is Lin Yuan and I's anniversary, and we went camping overnight at Lake Union.

I told him that the night was beautiful tonight.

But he told me, how could he know how beautiful the moonlight was tonight.

Because all he sees is me, how can there be room for the moonlight?
His mouth is as sweet as honey. I want to taste it later.

—January 1998, 1.

What follows are mostly trivial matters in the daily life of the two people, and you can see that they are very happy.

Until Anne turned to this page:
"My chest pain has started again. I was accompanying Lin Yuan in a recent competition, so I went for a follow-up check-up more than a month late.

Could it be a relapse?

—January 1998, 11.

Seeing this, Anne seemed to realize something and she continued reading.

“The doctor told me the worst news: the tumor had spread and metastasized.

I'm afraid I don't have more than half a year left.

How could this happen? I'm still so young, and we made a promise to grow old together.

—January 1998, 11.

Anne's fingers trembled slightly as she continued to flip through the pages.

"I'm getting weaker and weaker, and I don't have many days left.

It snowed today, so I took Lin Yuan outside..."

Looking at Taylor's words, a scene seemed to appear before her eyes.

The tall Taylor held Lin Yuan's hand and walked in the flying snow.

"It's snowing heavily, and you're worried about catching a cold. You're already very weak." Lin Yuan complained, but he couldn't bear to ruin Taylor's mood.

Taylor just smiled faintly and looked at Lin Yuan.

"We agreed to grow old together, let's do a preview now."

The hair of the two people who were not wearing hats was quickly dyed silver-white by the dandelion-like snowflakes.

"Look at your hair, it's all white now. You look like an old man, but you're still super handsome!"

"What? We agreed to support each other and go through life together through all the ups and downs. This doesn't count!"

"Just in case. If I'm gone in the future, I'll have fewer regrets." Taylor's eyes were filled with tears.

"Nothing unexpected!"

"We can be considered to be growing old together like this, right?"

Looking at the girl with a silver voice, Lin Yuan's eyes turned slightly red, and he nodded vigorously.

Then he stepped forward and hugged Taylor tightly.

……

Anne felt as if her nose was blocked by something and her eyes were a little blurry.

She wiped her eyes and continued reading.

"The time of separation is coming, no matter how reluctant it is, it is time to say goodbye.

I have found my sister's address.

I asked Lin Yuan to help take care of Annie after I left.

With Annie by his side, he should be able to get over his grief faster, right?
——December 1998, 12. This is the last page of the notebook.

After reading the diary left by her sister, she sat in the chair motionless.

After a long time, she slowly stood up and left with the diary.

Now things are very clear.

Her twin sister Taylor and Lin Yuan are a couple.

Before my sister fell ill and died, she asked Lin Yuan to take care of her.

This was my sister's last act of kindness before she passed away:

She hopes that she can be happy, and also hopes that Lin Yuan can reduce the pain in his heart through her.

Lin Yuan’s appearance by her side is a manifestation of her sister’s kindness.

As for whether it is a substitute or not, it is no longer important to Annie now.

It really doesn't matter anymore.

Meeting Lin Yuan is her greatest luck in this life.

"crunch~"

Anne pushed open the door and prepared to drive away.

She glanced at the mailbox at the door and saw a letter.

So she walked forward and opened the letter.

"Taylor, I missed you so much."

The first line of words caught Annie's eye. She immediately recognized it as Lin Yuan's handwriting and continued reading:

I've been looking forward to it.

Looking forward to a few years when we all grow up.

Go to work together and go to the supermarket to buy groceries together.

Cook together and take a walk together after dinner.

Lie on the sofa and watch TV together.

You are in my arms and I am in our home.

Thank you for allowing me to imagine such a perfect future.

I hope you can be happy in heaven.

One more thing, I found your sister.

But she's not well, she seems to have severe amnesia.

Her father ignored her and abandoned her in an orphanage.

And I took her with me.

Don't worry that this is a burden. Having a girl who looks exactly like you by my side is the greatest comfort.

I told her that I was her boyfriend.

She seemed unable to remember it, but accepted it.

That way I can take her with me.

……

When the last piece of the puzzle fell into place, all the doubts in Annie's mind were cleared.

What comes with it is an unprecedented feeling of relaxation.

Although she had many misfortunes in her life, she was also lucky.

She has always been surrounded by love: from her sister, from Lin Yuan...

Now, she wants to do her best to help them.

Annie drove the car and rushed home.

When she arrived at her doorstep, she jumped out of the car and rushed into the house, then took out paper and pen and started writing a letter.

Hello Taylor,

Please forgive me for not being able to call you "sister", after all, I am five years older than you now.

I went to your house and saw the diary left by your future self.

Now I have something very important to tell you, which concerns the fate of all of you:
……

When Anne finished writing the letter and put it in the mailbox, she hesitated.

It’s not that I’m still hesitating whether to send the letter, but whether to send Lin Yuan’s letter as well.

She thought about it and decided to keep Lin Yuan's letter and put it against her chest.

Then he solemnly stuffed the letter in his hand into the mailbox.
