Monique’s phone suddenly rang. Her ringtone brought her back from the painful memory.
Her little hand took the phone beside her bed, she picked up the phone and said weakly, “Hello.”
“Monique, didn’t you say you’d be coming home today?” A mid-age man’s loving voice sounded on the phone.
It was her uncle. She told him the day before that she would go back. She was frustrated when she woke up and forgot about it.
“Yes, uncle. I’ll be heading back in a while,” Monique said, sounding relaxed.
Her uncle’s call warmed her heart. He still remembers her. Maybe the world was not that terrible after all.
Moreover, she had the cute, little Angel.
Monique kept encouraging herself after she hung up the phone.
She went downstairs after washing up.
Angel had already started eating and Mrs. Lawson was serving her at the side. She took the food and put it in Angel’s bowl.
Angel’s little baby-fat face had recently turned chubbier; she was like a small meat bun and looked so cute. Her baby would always be so beautiful, tender, and cute. When she saw her, all her bad mood would disappear. Monique took a deep breath and adjusted her mood. The corners of her lips rose slightly and she walked down the stairs.
“Good morning, mommy.” Angel saw Monique walking down the stairs. She blinked her big bright eyes and shouted happily.
She was in a good mood that day because when she went down, her father had gifted her a phone—a real phone.
Her father had even taught her how to use it so that she could call him and report her whereabouts.
