Maggie looked at Lois blankly, with tears in her big eyes. Seeing that Lois was sick, she bit her lower lip with pity. The little girl in Joey's arms struggled hard, so Joey squatted down and put her down.
Hearing the noise, Lois looked up blankly, only to see that Maggie ran into the ward with her schoolbag on her back.
Lois couldn't believe that happiness would come like this. Her hand holding the pen trembled slightly, fearing that a big move would destroy everything in front of her.
Looking at Lois's thin face, Maggie felt sorry for her and shed tears.
Lois suddenly threw away the file on her legs and pulled down the needle.
She got out of bed in a hurry and knelt on the ground with her legs weak. But she ignored it. She held Maggie tightly. Tears burst out in an instant. "Maggie..."
Her left hand was torn by the injector, and dark red blood flowed out. It seemed that Lois didn't feel it, but focused on holding the little girl in her arms.
Joey was afraid that the bleeding wound would frighten Maggie, so he didn't say anything.
The two cried together. Lois kept calling her daughter's name, and Maggie called her mother in a sobbing tone.
Joey called the nurse and grabbed Maggie from Lois's hand. He grabbed Lois's left hand and said, "calm down! You will scare the baby! "
Looking at the dark red blood, Lois turned her back abruptly. The nurse took the medicine to treat her wound.
Lois smiled and looked at Maggie. Seeing that the little girl was crying more fiercely, Lois wiped her tears with a smile and said, "it doesn't hurt, mom." Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Enough! The baby came to see you, not to see you crying! " Joey scolded Lois coldly.
It was rare for Lois to be obedient to wipe away her tears. However, Maggie said, "Mom hasn't recovered yet. You can't get out of bed!"
Maggie looked at her father, waiting for his command.
Joey smiled and touched Maggie's head. He looked at Lois and said, "you'd better have a good rest. Otherwise, Maggie....And I will be worried about you. "
After saying that, Joey turned her head awkwardly. Lois smiled gratefully at him, but she didn't notice that Joey's ears were slightly red.
The nurse took a look at Joey and then looked at the little girl. She seemed to think that neither of them was reliable. Then she turned to Lois and said, "don't be so impulsive next time. You will take the medicine this afternoon."
The nurse didn't leave until Lois agreed in a low voice.
Lois wiped the tears off Maggie's face and smoothed her hair. Joey cleaned up the small table used by Lois and put Maggie on it.
Lois knew that Joey was afraid that the child would be infected with too many bacteria in the hospital, so she moved closer to Maggie.
Maggie smiled innocently. She took off her schoolbag from her back and took out a pile of red flowers from it. Seeing the little girl flaunting the red flowers, Lois smiled gently and praised, "our Maggie is so awesome! You have got so many rewards! "
Maggie's face was flushed. She jumped up abruptly, put her arms around Lois's neck, and kissed her on the cheek. After a long time, Maggie let go of her and put her nose close to Lois's neck. "Mommy smells good!"
Lois was tickled by her. She gently patted on Maggie's bottom and said, "stop it!"
"Mom doesn't love me anymore!" said Maggie, clinging to Lois! Mom have a new sweet! "
Joey felt as if his heart had been hit by a hammer. He remembered the way Kent looked at Lois and the tenderness that lingered in his heart like a nightmare. It was said that children wouldn't lie. Did Maggie feel something?
