After leaving the wish pond, Eden wanted to walk around. She had no way to get rid of the depression in her heart, so she wanted to walk around to relieve her mood.
Victor accompanied her silently.
Walking to the square, Eden saw an old lady with white hair sitting on the ground selling roses. She was old, and there were not many roses left, so Eden walked over, squatted down and asked, "Hi, how much are these roses? I'll buy them."
The weather was very hot, and it was easy for old people to suffer from a sunstroke. Gia liked roses, so she wanted to buy them and take them to the ward.
The old lady looked at her and smiled. Eden only felt that she was very kind, especially when she smiled.
"Two dollars for each. There are ninety-nine roses here. You can buy them for your daughter. They will bring her good luck."
Her words made Eden's pupils tremble, and then she nodded. "Okay, thank you!"
"Well, you're welcome. A kind person is always blessed." After saying that, the old lady motioned for Eden to take away the roses.
Victor stepped forward and picked up the roses. It was a big bunch of roses, but his arms were long, so it was not difficult to hold them.
The old lady looked at Victor and smiled, looking amiable.
Eden paid the bill. Then the old lady got up trembling, took out a red brocade box from her bag and handed it to Eden.
Eden looked at her in confusion, "What is this?"
She said with a smile, "Take it back and give it to your daughter."
Eden was stunned. This lady's words were so strange. It seemed she knew that there was something wrong with Giada.
The old lady looked at her confused eyes and smiled. "You are a blessed person. You are beautiful, and I can tell that you have a kind heart. We're fated, so I gave it to you. I hope you can bring good luck to your daughter."
Eden blinked and did not take the brocade box from her hand.
The old lady was not in a hurry and waited for her quietly.
After a while, Eden reached for the brocade box with her hands trembling.
The old lady turned around, pulled up the small cart beside her and walked away.
Eden looked in the direction where she had left. Her slightly hunched back gradually disappeared in the crowd. She felt that the old lady was very unreal and untouchable.
Looking at the old lady'd back, Victor was slightly dumbfounded, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Eden, do you remember the year when I had a car accident?"
Eden came to her sense and looked at him without saying anything.
"At that time, I didn't wake up, but I could see you sitting by the French window and crying every night. I was by your side, and I could see a vague and stooping back in my dream."
Eden opened her mouth in surprise. "Do you mean you saw the old lady who left just now?"
Victor shook his head slightly. "I don't know, but their backs are very similar." He almost forgot that dream. If he didn't see the old lady, he couldn't remember it at all.
Eden thought about it and felt a little strange. She looked at him and said, "Let's go to the hospital." She was eager to see her daughter.
"Okay!" Victor took her to the car.
Eden held the red brocade box in her hand and did not open it.
When they returned to the hospital, there was no one in the ward. Eden asked Victor to put the roses on the table aside.
Eden was not afraid of seeing Anabel. Their children were both sick, and arguing could not solve any problem. She only hoped that the children would wake up soon.
