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, | could not help my eyes getting wet once again. | suddenly felt somewhat of a chill in my heart.
Munchkin had returned to my side again, while Theo and | 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 stable and having a reunion dinner.
Unfortunately, however, these were all gone now.
The sadness in my heart madesuddenly want to bask in the sun. After thinking about it, | agreed to
Munchkin's request.
| 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, | 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.

| was very curious where all these people cfrom. 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 bechappy 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?
"lI want to buy beautiful clothes for you. The clothes you've been wearing recently don't look nice. | want you to
dress like how you used to dress, like a goddess," Munchkin blurted out.
| lowered my head and looked at the clothes on my body. | was wearing a casual, navy blue sports suit. Now that
Munchkin remindedabout it, | suddenly realized that | had been wearing sports clothes and casual clothes
consecutively for several days now.
In fact, Alex had prepared a lot of clothes forin the closet, but | had been constantly thinking about other
things these few days. In addition to my emotions, | was constantly wearing dark clothes. Unexpectedly, | forgot
to consider Munchkin's feelings.
"Do you think Mommy is ugly?" | asked anxiously while looking at Munchkin.
The little guy shook his head. He looked atseriously and said, "I think you're unhappy. You used to wear
colored clothes, but now, you only wear black."
The little guy said as he pointed at my
clothes.
"Daddy as well. His clothes are all wrinkled and haven't been tidied up. It's different from before."
| was startled. "When did you see Daddy?"

"I saw him in the hospital yesterday. He was in the corridor. He was leaving the conference room."
| felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that Munchkin had witnessed all of these.
| pursed my lips. Sometimes, we really were not as observant as children were.
"Mommy, let's go and buy a beautiful dress for you."
The little guy grabbed my hand, and | felt a small force squeeze my hand.
"Alright, we'll buy beautiful clothes forand sfor you too."
"We'll also buy sfor Daddy!" the little guy added.
"Alright," | promised.
In the mall, | pulled Munchkin around one floor after another. | was already tired, but Munchkin was still browsing
through clothes especially seriously.
At the door of a shop, he suddenly pointed at a turquoise dress and called out to me," Mommy, let's buy this."
