S21 59. Pray for Barbara

“Barbara, don’t fall asleep. Look at me. Look at me!”

Philip jerked his arms slightly, helping Barbara turn her head, facing his face again.

“Just remember my words. You’ll be fine, okay? We’ll be at the

hospital soon, and your wounds will be treated. You can recover in the blink of an eye.”

Barbara sighed faintly. She wanted to nod, but couldn’t. Witnessing that, Emily started to sob.

“Auntie has to get better. I don’t want Auntie to be in trouble,” she

whined.

Louis also deepened his brow furrows. His lips twitched slightly. “Yes, Auntie has to be strong. When Auntie has recovered, we can play again. Auntie hasn’t seen our animation yet, right?”

Barbara swallowed hard. Her throat felt dry, her heart ached. Honestly, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to see the twins again.

“Kids,” Frank called, walking with wide strides. Arriving in front of the twins, he bent down, holding their shoulders.

“If you want Auntie to get better quickly, pray. That’s what she needs most now. Besides, when she gets to the hospital, she will go straight into the operating room. You won’t be able to see her either.”

“But we can pray in the waiting room, and we can welcome Auntie after surgery.” Louis looked up with a pitiful face.

“And make your aunt sad?” Frank whispered as he cupped his son’s cheek. “She must feel guilty and anxious if you wait for her at the hospital, especially if you don’t sleep.”

“Yes, you also have to take care of your health, Little Angels,” Ka continued softly. “Auntie doesn’t want you to get sick because y

think about her.”

Louis pressed his lips inward and lowered his head. Emily beside him did the same thing, as if imitating.

“Okay, we’ll stay at home and pray from our rooms,” Louis said, sadly.

At that moment, the car they were waiting for arrived. Philip and Karal rushed to bring Barbara inside. The driver got out, helped them.

Meanwhile, Frank shook the twins’ shoulders, as if to send them strength. “Now go to your rooms and sleep. Don’t forget to pray for Auntie.”
