May I Get Everything Just For You novel Chapter 7

"Twinkle twinkle little stars...” A clear and bright child voice was heard from aside.

A little boy who seemed to be around the age of five to six years old sat obediently by the corner of the hospital entrance. The kid held his chubby face in his hands while humming the song away.

Estelle walked toward the boy and crouched down in front of him. "Little kid, why are you here alone?

Where’s your mommy?"

The little boy though was not afraid of strangers and replied calmly, "My mommy works as a cleaner in the hospital. I'm waiting for her to get off work."

"Why aren’t you waiting inside then?"

With a sad face, the boy sulked, "Cleaning's a tiring job and mommy doesn't want me to see her working hard. How about you madam? Are you working in the hospital too?"

Estelle's heart swelled up with gentleness. She replied gently, "No, I don't work here. I'm here because I’m sick."

"It cost a lot to fall sick! If I’m well and healthy, mommy doesn't need to work this hard being a cleaner ..." The boy sniffled softly with his eyes turning red.

Estelle could not find the right words to comfort him.

She took out all the cash from her purse and gave it to the little boy. "Little one, give this money to your mommy."

The amount of cash added up to almost a few thousand dollars. The little boy was taken aback." Really madam? Are you giving it all to me?"

Estelle nodded with a smile. "Yes.”

"But mommy said that we shouldn’t take what isn't ours."

Estelle hesitated and then proposed. "Why don't you sing a song for me? You can sing the one you hummed to just now - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

The little boy nodded.

"...Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high..."

The boy sang sincerely with his back straightened while struggling to hold on to the money in his arms. I t was as if he was grasping on to all hope.

On the way back, it was as if she could still hear the cute singing voice ringing by her ear.
