"Darling, come say good morning to your daddy." Summer walked out from the washroom.
He has been unconscious for more than a month, and she has been reading the news and talking to him every day. He had never responded but she will not give up!
"Mommy, Daddy is such a lazy pig!" Charlotte pouted her tiny lips. "Good morning, Daddy.”
"Go drink some water. I’ll send you to school later." She believed that he will wake up. She bent down and pecked his thin lips.
'Mommy has been taking advantage of Daddy every day, how shameless!’
Charlotte held a cup of water in her hand as she stood by the window, swaying her head left to right. As she did not hold the cup firmly, the cup wobbled and the hot water spilled out from the cup, splashing onto the back of Mark's hand.
The water was fresh from the jug, so it was quite hot. A few drops of it landed on her own hand as she gulped for air.
Just like a thief, she pulled out her sleeve after noticing that Summer was nowhere to be seen. She
quickly dabbed it onto Mark’s hand to wipe off the water, eliminating all the evidence.
"Are you done drinking?” Summer’s voice echoed all o f a sudden.
Charlotte got startled and nodded immediately. "Yes, yes."
She then said in her heart, 'I’m really sorry, Daddy. I didn't mean to burn you - the cup just slipped from my hands! I pray that mommy will never notice, Amen!'
