She had experienced it once, so there was absolutely no need for a second time.
Kevin could tell that Selma loved Eddy truly, even more than he did.
This kind of pampering coupled with Eddy's situation, Kevin was afraid that something frightening would happen again.
Moreover, the reason why Anne hated Selma so much this time was because of what [Selma had done to Sally.
Kevin was not the only one who was deeply impressed by that incident, so was Eddy. Although he was in hospital and didn't see that situation with his own eyes, he could imagine what had happened at that time.
In particular, Eddy believed that Selma was wrong.
Right then, Eddy rolled his eyes, blinked, and looked at Selma fawningly, "Grandma, you always say you love Eddy. Do you really love me very much?"
Hearing his question, Selma nodded. "Of course. Grandma is the one loving Eddy the most in the world."
Eddy immediately raised his head to kiss Selma's cheek. Her eyes and brows softened and she looked at Eddy dotingly.
Eddy lowered her head, held her hand, and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, you don't want to leave me, neither do I want you to leave me. But I don't want my sister's or brother's heart. I don't want a life like this."
Selma's face fell. She knew that Eddy was a sensible boy, but how could a child say something like that?
At that moment, Selma looked at Kevin with dissatisfaction. Kevin looked down at Eddy and frowned slightly, not noticing her gaze.
"Grandma, can you promise Eddy one thing?" Eddy looked at Selma expectantly, with tears in his eyes.
Under Eddy's gaze, no one could refuse him, so Selma had unconsciously nodded in agreement.
"That's great! I know that grandma loves me and treats me the best." With these words, Eddy stepped forward and gave Selma another big kiss.
Selma smiled and rubbed Eddy's head lovingly.
"Grandma, I often get sick. I'm not healthy enough. I don't know how long I can see Grandma. I don't even know if I can open my eyes tomorrow."
Instantly, Selma and Kevin frowned and their eyes darkened. If it weren't that Selma had found it in time, Eddy might be...
What Eddy said was right. Heart disease was not to be underestimated, especially for a child as Eddy. Because he was young and small, his resistance ability was also lower than the adults'.
Eddy's blood disease was like a time bomb for them. If it was accidentally ignited, they would lose everything.
"Eddy, stop saying such ominous words. I promise you that you will always be able to open your eyes and see me. You are still a child, and you will live longer than me, understand? Don't say such ominous words in the future." Selma rubbed his little face and wiped the tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, listen to me. I know you will try your best to protect me, just like between me and Sally, no matter how sad you are, you will choose me.
But I don't like it. I want to live, but I don't want to trade the life of my sister or brother. If it's fate, then I'll live on. If it's not, I don't want to live on taking others' lives.
Although I'm still so young, I can only accept irreversible things." Eddy lowered his head, tears dripping from his eyes. These words had been hidden in the bottom of his heart for a long time. He had never said them before and it was not like what he could say at his age.
However, Eddy could speak it out, which meant that he was not an ordinary child. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with leukemia and could not be matched successfully. Only when his sister or brother came to the world could he solve the disease.
Eddy learned to be strong at such a young age because of the sudden disaster.
Now Eddy had hope in his life, but he faced despair again. He was very sad, especially the feeling of dying last time, which impressed him deeply.
Therefore, he was more precocious and knew more than anyone at the same age.
"But I want to see our family together happily when I'm alive. I know you are good to me, Grandma, and I love you very much. But at the same time, I love Mom very much. Mom loves me too. I feel that I'm incomplete without any of you!
Grandma, I know you love me so much. You won't let me regret for the rest of my life, will you?" Eddy looked up at Selma with tears all over his face.
Tears streamed down Selma's face. She covered her mouth with her hand and was about to burst into tears.
Selma didn't know whether Eddy's words were figured out by himself or taught by Anne. But as a child said so, Selma couldn't stand such heartbreaking words when listening to him.
Aside, Kevin slowly closed his eyes. How could Eddy say those words?
"Grandma, I'm begging you. Please promise me. I will listen to you from now on. Can you promise me?" Holding Selma's arm, Eddy shook it gently and sobbed.
Eddy seldom cried. He always tell himself to be strong.
But such a strong child was crying with tears now, which was especially pitiful.
Kevin stepped forward and held Eddy tightly in his arms, not willing to let go of him.
"Eddy, forget what you said just now. I tell you, you will never die. Even if I die, I will never allow any problems to happen to you!" Kevin said in a cold voice, with determination in his eyes.
He knew that Eddy must have said these words by himself since Anne wouldn't teach him to. But Eddy was just a child. Wasn't it more pitiful for him to say these words out of his own wish?
Right now, all his people were looking for the heart source. Although there was no clue, he knew that God would not be so cruel.
