6．
Hum Thomas fell in love with Megan．But then an accident changed in his life，and he had to move to Canada．Magan promised to write to him．But Hum never heard from her …until one day a letter arrived．
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years．Who was writing to him？He turned the envelop（信封）over in his hands several times．Then he took out the letter and read：
Dear Hum，
I don't know if this letter will reach you，and I don't know why I'm writing to you after all these years，but …
Hum turned to the end of the letter and saw：
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn't believe it．He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：
…after all these years，but I've just found your letters to me from Canada．Believe me，this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry，even after 50 years，I found them in a box of my father's papers．They were never opened．
Hum，I never know that you'd written to me．I thought your life in Canada had made you forget me．Now I realize that my father kept your letters．I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me，and he always said："______，my girl，I told you he was no good．"Finally，after about a year，I believed him．
But why did he keep the letters？Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late？Anyway he's dead now，so I can't ask him．All I can say is I'm sorry．Sorry for what my father did，sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for …everything．
I hope that at least this letter reaches you．Of course，I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me，but if you don't do，I am still Magan Jenkins，and I will live at the same adress．
Best wishes，
Megan
Hum read the letter again．Everything with Megan came back to him．He had never forgotten her．He couldn't．Every day he looked at her face on the wall．He had a drawing of her．It had traveled everywhere with him．But to hear from her again …
"Are you all right，Dad？"asked Mike，coming into the room．
