Just as Vivian was about to take the spoon Catherine took it and started feeding her instead.

“Don’t move. Your wound hasn’t healed yet. Come on. I’ll feed you.”

Vivian pursed her l*ps, and her eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.

“What is it? You don’t like fish soup? I’ll get you something else then,” Catherine gently urged.

‘I’m just touched, Mrs.Turner.! grew up without parents, and I often got bullied in the orphanage. To tell you the truth, you and Miss Turner are the only ones who have treated me so well.”

Catherine’s hand fell as soft as a feather on Vivian’s face to wipe her tears.

“Sweetheart, don’t cry.l have some good news for you.”

She sq***zed Vivian’s little hand and added, “Luke and I have decided to officially adopt you once we leave the hospital. You may consider Luke and me as your parents if you want.We will also treat you as our own daughter. Surprised, Vivian’s eyes lit up.But then she shook her head and looked down.

“No.I can’t take Miss Turner’s place. I don’t deserve it…”

“I know you are a good girl. You didn’t even want us to know about the liver donation, did you?”

With a smile, Catherine comforted Vivian, “Are you still sad about what Luke said before? I admit that we have misunderstood you.What happened to Allie was too sudden and it also came as a shock to us. I hope you understand that Luke is just skeptical, so he doubted you.”

Vivian smiled back at her, but it was a bitter one.

“It’s okay, Mrs.Turner.l didn’t take it personally.”

Even though she said so, Catherine could tell that Vivian was still sad.That was understandable.

The child was really innocent and sincere.
