Chapter 157 Never Separate Again
“What?”
Eric was startled. The innocence of such a young child asking about something so profound like death caught him off guard.
He observed Joy, clad in a small hospital gown, which reminded him that she was not just any child; she was a patient here. What could her condition be?
The thought of explaining the concept of death to a child so young seemed daunting.
After a brief pause, Eric chose his words carefully. “It’s like traveling to a place that’s very, very far away.”
“Far away?” Joy’s small forehead creased in thought. “Does that mean I can’t see my mom anymore?”
“Yes, that’s right,” Eric responded slowly, regretting the confirmation.
He reflected on how often Joy mentioned her mother, yet never her father. Her attachment to her mom was evident.
“Oh,” Joy muttered, her expression turning somber. “Thanks, I get it now.”
“Joy!” The call came from across the room.
It was the same nurse as before, calling out with urgency. “Joy!”
Joy waved enthusiastically. “She’s calling for me. I have to go now! Bye–bye!”
“Goodbye…”
Eric hadn’t even finished his thought when the little girl had dashed away. He remained crouched down, watching the nurse scoop Joy up and hurry off with her.
A shadow fell over his emotions unexpectedly.
Was it the thought of this brief encounter ending, knowing she might soon be heading to “a faraway place“?
“Joy!” The urgency in Hadley’s voice echoed through the hospital corridor.
Spotting the nurse with Joy in her arms, Hadley moved swiftly toward them, her face etched with concern.
“Mommy…”
“Where did you wander off to?”
