"Really?" She looked up, her eyes full of expectation.
Ruby gave her a gentle smile, "Of course it's true, I never lie."
Olivia was so excited that she didn't know what to say, her face was full of pleasant luster and her eyes were amazingly bright.
Her two small hands grasping tightly, immersed in this happiness, her eyes even involuntarily reddened.
"Mom, you must keep your words, when the time comes, we and Dad go to the amusement park together!"
As Levi was mentioned, Ruby's eyes flickered slightly and she didn't say anything, but only gave a nod.
At that moment, as if remembering something, Olivia slightly retreated from her arms and tilted her head to look at her, her eyes covered with caution.
"Mom, have you been having fighting with Dad lately?"
Upon hearing this, Ruby was a bit surprised and froze for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because you and Dad don't talk much these days!"
The young girl said in a serious manner, then before Ruby could respond, she anxiously persuaded Ruby.
"Mommy, Daddy has you in his heart, he treats you so well, can you not separate with him and let him be my daddy forever?"
Not expecting her to say that, Ruby was even more surprised.
"You like Levi as your father that much?" She asked.
Olivia nodded solemnly.
"Yeah, I like him a lot, and I don't want anyone to be my dad but him, so mom, don't fight with dad, okay?"
Ruby just felt amused at this moment.
She did not have a fight with Levi, but seeing that he did not speak properly, she was unhappy with it, and that was all.
And she had never liked to coax the angry people.
He was always nonchalant, so she simply did not say anything.
She did not expect that this little girl would actually care so much.
At that moment, she rubbed the little girl's soft hair, smiling.
"Well, you don't have to worry so much, this is between us adults, you just need to rest and prepare for tomorrow's surgery at ease. When you are well, we will go home, okay?"
The little girl smiled and had to nod her head in response.
After obediently getting back into the quilt, after hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind to ask.
"Mom, can I ask who donated the bone marrow to me? Have you already found that man?"
At the word, Ruby's hand tucking in the blanket for her gave a slight beat, and she raised her eyes to meet the little girl's preoccupied eyes.
Seeing her nervousness, after a moment, Ruby withdrew her hand, looking as normal, not answering the question.
"Olivia, do you want to know who your real father is?"
The little girl hesitated, nodded and then shook her head.
