Lost Angel (21-30)

In the previous chapter, an old lady told Ellen and Hilda that there is hope and something good will happen but Hilda wasn’t convinced with what the lady said. Unlike Hilda, her daughter Ellen had hope and she was desperately wishing that her father was still alive. When Hilda started to believe that her husband was dead and hope is gone, Doug happens to be alive. Ellen recognized him while she was walking down the street and she was very happy and filled with joy to see him again. Hilda was also pleased and she finally stopped grieving and started smiling once again. Moreover, Mabel came to visit them with her son Billy and Ellen grows a crush on Billy but all Billy was interested about was horses.

Ellen was still thinking of the old lady they met underground and she was curious about what the future is hiding for her so she went to a lady who foresees the future and the woman told her that Ellen will someday find peace.

Later on, they all went back to London but Billy insisted on staying at the countryside because he enjoyed working at the stable with the horses but his mom didn’t allow him to stay. Mabel’s husband came back along with their elder son Percy and the war was finally officially over. After nagging constantly to go back to the countryside, Billy finally got the permission to go and Ellen wasn’t happy with the news because she was jealous of Sheila and thought they would start to go out. She went to the garden and started crying. Percy saw her and tried to comfort her but it didn’t work so he hugged and after the hug he started to grow a crush on Ellen. He once meets Ellen and Hilda down the street and thought of asking Ellen out in front of her mom but the mother (Hilda) refused because she doesn’t want Ellen to go out with guys and she doesn’t want to ruin her innocence and believes its better if she stays naïve.

I tried my best to like this novel but its pretty much the most boring I’ve ever came across :P Sorry (A)
