S2 63. I’m Scared

The curve of Philip’s lips turned sour. “Your mother is home.”

With limited head movement, Barbara rolled her eyes around.

“Where is this?”

Philip bowed lower. “In the hospital. You just had surgery.”

Suddenly, Barbara’s eyes widened. Her breath shortened. The incident

in the back yard flashed through her mind.

“That knife… I’m bleeding?”

Philip quickly shook his head. His hands cupped Barbara’s face, giving her a sense of security.

“No. You’re not bleeding anymore. See? Your operation went well.”

“I’m still alive?” Barbara sighed with teary eyes.

Philip was intrigued by the innocent comment. Beneath his frown, he

let out a faint laugh. “Yes, you are alive, Baby. You’re safe.”

“Now,” he ran his fingers through Barbara’s hair, “just wait for a moment. I have to let the nurse know that you’re awake.”

Philip straightened up, about to press the intercom button. However, before he had time to move, Barbara grabbed his hand tightly.

“Please… don’t go. I’m scared.”

Philip froze when he saw the helpless look in her eyes. Half of his heart ached, the other half melted.

“I’m not going anywhere. Just need to press that button.”

However, Barbara still shook her head faintly. “I’m scared. Don’t leave

Philip smiled sadly. Bending down, he stroked the girl’s hair. “Okay, I’m not going anywhere.”

“Don’t let go of my hand.”
