The little guy gestured. "When I grow tall and strong, I'll then be able to protect my mommy and my little brother or little sister."
Hearing this, I could not help my eyes getting wet once again. I suddenly felt somewhat of a chill in my heart.
Munchkin had returned to my side again, while Theo and I also had our own children again. This was supposed to be something to be celebrated.
If this accident had not occurred, we would be sitting at the same table and having a reunion dinner.
Unfortunately, however, these were all gone now.
The sadness in my heart made me suddenly want to bask in the sun. After thinking about it, I agreed to Munchkin’s request.
I took him out to the hospital’s small garden and went straight to the back gate.
I had thought of taking him for a stroll around the little garden, but Munchkin seemed dissatisfied. In addition, this child liked merriment. After thinking about it, I took him to the commercial street.
We went out when it was already a little late that day, but the commercial street was still lively.
I was very curious where all these people came from. There should not be that many people living near the hospital.
However, Munchkin was obviously different. He did not even consider the problem with the crowd. Seeing the lively scene in front of him, he immediately became happy again.
When we passed by the mall, the little guy could not hold himself back anymore and almost jumped up from his wheelchair. Fortunately, my quick eyes and deft hands quickly pushed him down.
"Mommy, can we go to the mall?"
"Do you want to go to the mall to buy something?"
Why did the little guy need to shop?
"I want to buy beautiful clothes for you. The clothes you've been wearing recently don't look nice. I want you to dress like how you used to dress, like a goddess," Munchkin blurted out.
I lowered my head and looked at the clothes on my body. I was wearing a casual, navy blue sports suit. Now that Munchkin reminded me about it, I suddenly realized that I had been wearing sports clothes and casual clothes consecutively for several days now.
