Chapter 226 Did She Overlook Something
Eric navigated the car slowly, particularly as they neared the riverside park.
He intentionally stopped the car and lowered the window, peering out in hopes of spotting Joy.
Considering Joy had been hospitalized just the day before, he actually wasn’t optimistic about seeing her here today.
Yet, there she was unexpectedly!
Joy, well–wrapped against the cold, sat on a swing, gently pushed by a boy who seemed slightly older.
Eric exited the vehicle.
“Enjoying yourself?” the boy behind Joy asked.
“Yup!
“Want to swing higher?”
“Oh yes, please! Haha…”
“Joy,” Eric called out, reaching for the swing’s ropes to stabilize them.
Joy had her hat and mask on, leaving only her eyes visible, which sparkled as she noticed Eric.
“You’re here!” she cried out joyfully.
With a leap from the swing, the little girl was quickly enveloped in Eric’s welcoming arms.
Snuggling against him, Joy asked, “Did you come just to see me?”
“Indeed, I did,” Eric answered, his smile broadening.
“Do you need something from me?” Joy asked, curious.
“Actually, I have something for you,” Eric replied, producing a small box from his coat pocket and flicking it open with a deft flick of his wrist.
“This is for you, Joy. What do you think?”
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the gift. “It’s beautiful!”
As she reached out tentatively, her hand paused mid–air.
“What’s the matter?” Eric asked, a curious look crossing his face. “Isn’t it to your liking?”
“I love it.” Joy quickly reassured, yet with a pause. “But Mommy said I shouldn’t accept gifts from strangers.
