Rose noticed the disappointment in her daughter's expression and her eyes flickered while her fingers trembled slightly at her side. She didn't expectElliot to hald such a significant place in Leah's heart after such a short time together. But she couldn't let Elliot know Leah's true identity.
Feeling guilty towards Leah, Rose asked softly. "Are you hungry? Do you want some water?”The little girl shook her head gently and suddenly said sadly, "Mommy, I'm sorry.""Why are you apologizing to me?" Rose touched the little one's messy hair with affection but was confused by what she said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the little one spoke up right away. "If I hadn't run out to play, none of this would have happened and you wouldn'thave been so worried...”
Hearing this made Rose feel sad as she looked at her daughter on the hospital bed with even more tenderness. Her four-year-old daughter wasalready so sensible.
If possible, she wished that Leah could be like an ordinary child who could be willful without any worries.Her eyes deepened as she pursed her lips and spoke warmly, "Leah, you don't need to apologize. As long as you're okay, then Mommy is okay too."
“Besides,” Rose continued speaking when seeing confusion in Leah's eyes. She stood up and lightly kissed Leah's forehead before saying, "Thisexperience shows that we are blessed because nothing serious happened to you."
Leah heard these words which instantly dispelled all her self-blame while also revealing a smile on her face. "Mommy is right.”Rose comforted her daughter a bit more and was about to get up to pour Leah some water when she was stopped by the little one."Mommy."
She turned back to her daughter, looking at her with a hint of confusion in her dark eyes.
The little one clasped her hands with a touch of sadness, asking in a low voice, “Mommy, why didn't he come?"
Rose pressed her lips together, feeling the weight of guilt in her heart, but she couldn't bring herself to tell Leah the truth. She could only answer, "Idon’t know."
When Leah heard this. a look of disappointment appeared in her big eyes. Her little head drooped, and her small hands fidgeted nervously.Was Daddy ignoring her? Was it because she hadn't been obedient, so Daddy didn't like her anymore?

Sean stepped into the hospital room and saw only Leah inside. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "You're the only one here, where's Mommy?"Leah looked surprised at his older brother before answering hesitantly "Mommy went out to buy food."
She looked puzzled as she gazed at their two figures standing by the door.
"Sean, Valentin, why are you here?"
"We came to see you," Sean replied as he walked over and sat on the bed beside his little sister.
He looked up and down worriedly at her, making sure there was nothing wrong with his little sister before finally relaxing a bit more.
