She picked up her bag as she said that, most probably to get some cash to pay the little girl.
At that moment, the child could not hold in her tears any longer as I felt those burning droplets on the back of my hand.
“Wait! She’s buying your flowers! Don’t cry!”
“I don’t want you to buy all my flowers.” The little girl started sobbing. “I only want to sell you one each. Mommy has been sick in the hospital for so long! Daddy told me that each sold flower is another prayer for Mommy so she could get well soon. I don’t want money. I just want Mommy to get better.”
They really were not wrong when they said women were like water. In only a few seconds, the tissue was totally soaked.
Audrey and Gregory had milder personalities and were my own, so they were easier to handle. Even with Summer, this type of situation had never occurred with me. So, I was at a loss and could only watch as the girl cried.
It was true that people were cruel and selfish, but they loved drama. Once the girl started crying, all those unconcerned passersby were surprisingly like-minded as they all looked toward our direction.
That feeling of being stared at by the entire world was not great at all.
Therefore, I signaled to Emery. “You made this mess! Handle it!”
But Emery acted like she was deaf, leaving me speechless.
So this is what good friends do? Do you leave the others behind to clean up your mess?
Right then, Summer spoke. “If you can hold it in and stop crying, I have an idea that could help you earn a lot more money and acquire more prayers for your mommy at the same time. If you accept, wipe off those tears and come with me. You only have one chance, okay?”
