38.The dusty attic（阁楼） had always been a mystery t Alex.Dad wuld gently shake his head and say，"Just sme ld memries and spider webs，by.Nthing fr yu up there."But n his thirteenth birthday，with Dad taking a nap in the armchair，the pull f the unknwn became t strng.Alex carefully climbed the wden stairs，his heart punding with a mix f excitement and guilt.
In the sft light frm a single windw，he saw shapes f ld trunks and furniture cvered in white sheets.As his eyes adjusted，smething bright in the crner caught his attentin.He walked ver and pulled away a dusty blanket，sending dust dancing in the sunbeam.There，leaning against the wall，was a beautiful，ld-fashined red bicycle.It was slightly rusty（生锈的），but it had shiny chrme parts and a leather seat.Tied t its handlebars with a faded blue ribbn was a yellwed envelpe.
A mix f curisity and nervusness upset Alec.Eager t discver the envelpe's cntents，he glanced arund.Met with a deafening silence，he cautiusly bent dwn.With careful fingers，Alex pened it.Inside was a birthday card.The handwriting read："Fr my brave sn Alex，n yur10th birthday.May it carry yu t wnderful adventures.Lve，Dad."The date was exactly three years ag.
A memry flashed in Alex's mind：Dad's bad fall，the ambulance，the lng，wrried weeks in the hspital.His wn tenth birthday had passed quietly in all that fear and sadness.The bike must have been waiting here all this time，a frgtten prmise.A heavy feeling settled in his chest—this was mre than a secret；it was a piece f Dad's heart.He shuldn't be here.
The flrbard behind him creaked（嘎吱作响） sftly.Sensing smene appraching frm behind，Alex nervusly held the card，filled with regret fr ever cming t this place.
