"Mommy, are you going to the hospital to take care of a patient? Why?" Beanie tilted his head and he looked dull.

Minerva naturally wouldn't lie in front of him after being exposed earlier.

"Because that person had saved me from harm. If it wasn't for that person, then the person laying in the hospital now would be me. One has to be grateful for the kindness that has been done to them. He saved me, so I have to go to the hospital to take care of him. Do you understand what I mean?" Minerva explained patiently to him. Beanie's eyes were like clean glass beads without any impurities. After hearing what Minerva had said, he nodded his head and said, "Oh, then I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Minerva's expression changed. She blurted out, "No."

Beanie was puzzled. "Why, Mommy? If that person is your lifesaverand since I'm your baby, I should also go to the hospital with you too!"

Minerva stayed quiet.

She was speechless so she could only find another excuse to fool him.

"No, the hospital is not a place where anyone can go. There are many other patients and also a lot of bacteria around. You are just a child and your immune system is still weak. If you go there, you will easily get sick."

Beanie asked, "Really?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, then you can ask Aunt Vera."1

Vera nodded and said, "That's true. The hospital is not a good place at all. You can only go if you are sick, but if you are not, then you'd better not go. Besides, you are so young. After you go there, your mommy will have to take care of you too. How will she then have the time to take care of the actual patient? Beanie, if you really want to thank that person on behalf of your mommy, then you should wait until he is discharged from the hospital and treat him to a meal..."

Speaking of this, Vera suddenly stopped. She was shocked to find that she had made an indiscreet remark. She looked at Minerva with embarrassment and then quickly changed the topic.

"Well, it's getting late now. The sky is turning dark soon. Beanie, come with me now."

Beanie said, "Oh okay then, Mommy... I'll go back home with Auntie Vera first."

"Sure." Minerva touched Beanie's head and hugged his little body with a little reluctance to let him go. Then she said, "Have a good sleep at night and wait for me to take you to the amusement park after a few days."

"Then Mommy, you have to keep your promise. Last time you said that you would take me to the amusement park on my birthday, but you still haven't done it."

Minerva stayed quiet.
