She knew that Theo went to see me, so we should have returned to Whaldorf City together. However, I came back alone and even planned to stay in a hotel after getting off the plane. It was inevitable for her to think that way.
I said with a slight smile, "No, he still has many things to finish over there. I miss Munchkin dearly, so I came home first.
He'll come home before the festival."
Petra was relieved to hear what I said.
After long hours of flight and it being late at night now, I was already beyond exhausted.
After Petra left, I hurried to get washed up.
When I got out of the bathroom, I climbed into bed. I hugged Munchkin and was ready to sleep.
Munchkin kept squeezing into my arms in his dreams, whereas I hugged him tightly. We filled up our longing for each other.
A child was capable of getting a mother through all hardships and helping her forget all of them.
Only when a child was by their mother's side will the mother be able to still be filled with hope no matter how bad things were.
As I was a mother myself, I could more or less relate to Petra's feelings. The pain when a child was distant from their mother was truly unbearable.
The feeling of having a family was great. Perhaps I could try to get closer to them. It was a beautiful sunny day the next day. The bright and warm sunlight shone into the room. I woke up to Munchkin sleeping soundly on my chest.
His mouth opened and closed. His chubby little face looked especially adorable.
