Celebrate Her Mom's Birthday
At this moment, Charlotte is at home.
Charlotte's mother was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the television.
The television was not turned on, and the whole room seemed cold and empty.
Charlotte's father came out holding a glass of water and said, "Drink some warm water and go to bed early."
Charlotte's mother suddenly cried, "Charlotte said she would give me a gift on my birthday."
"Today was already my birthday, but my Charlotte will never come back..."
We have rehearsed saying goodbye millions of times, but I never expected that we would actually say goodbye in the end. I still can't accept it.
She covered her face, and suppressed cries poured out through her fingers.
Charlotte's father felt a sharp pain in his heart and almost couldn't catch his breath.
He supported himself on the armrest of the sofa and slowly sat down, embracing Charlotte's mother in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay..." he murmured, "Charlotte has gone to heaven, so she's not in pain anymore..."
Charlotte's mother burst into tears.
Yeah, when I went up to the sky, the pain disappeared.
No longer do I have to eat medicine every day, and I cannot eat this or touch that.
There was no need to go to the hospital every now and then, and sometimes even spent the New Year in the hospital.
Even more so, without being careful and afraid of bumping into something, I didn't dare to take a step forward while running...
When I was on the verge of collapsing, suddenly I heard a knocking sound at the door.
At first, the two of them didn't hear anything, but later on, they started to feel somewhat familiar.
The rhythm and volume of this knocking sound, it was somewhat familiar!
"Little... Charlotte?" Charlotte's mother stared at the door in astonishment.
Charlotte's father, suppressing his sadness, comforted in a low voice, "It must be someone else, maybe we disturbed the neighbors?"
There was no sound at home now, so it shouldn't have...
Charlotte's father stood up in confusion and prepared to open the door.
Charlotte's mother suddenly stood up as well, her footsteps a bit hurried and uncertain. "I, I'll go too."
What if it was Charlotte?
Charlotte said that she wanted someone to accompany her on her birthday.
What if Charlotte came back...
The couple arrived at the door, grasped the doorknob, but hesitated to open it.
Finally, there came a knock on the door again.
Outside the door, Charlotte looked crestfallen.
She knocked on the door in the middle of the night, her parents must have been scared.
Just now she could faintly hear her parents' voices, but now it is quiet.
However, in the next moment, the door creaked open slowly.
Charlotte's mother held her breath and saw Charlotte standing outside the door, holding something in her arms. She hesitated for a moment when she saw her mother open the door.
"Charlotte!" Charlotte's mother exclaimed, widening her eyes and covering her mouth.
It's really Charlotte... She really came back!
Charlotte was pleasantly surprised, but also a little worried and afraid that her parents wouldn't accept it.
She quickly raised the glass bottle in her arms and beamed a big smile, "Mom! Happy birthday!"
The next second, her mother rushed over...
Susie, hiding in the stairwell, had a dim look in her eyes. She couldn't understand why the image of her master lunging at Darla but passing right through her came to her mind.
Her fingers moved slightly, about to pounce on an empty Charlotte's mother, and suddenly she firmly embraced Charlotte in her arms.
Charlotte's father was stunned for a while. He couldn't hold back his tears any longer and went forward to embrace Charlotte's mother and Charlotte. In a choked voice, he said, "Charlotte, my Charlotte!"
After a long time, Charlotte's father was the first to recover. He looked outside the door and asked, "Charlotte, how did you come back..."
Charlotte smiled happily, "A brother and a sister helped me come back."
There was still a cake on the ground, but Charlotte couldn't pick it up with the glass bottle as she had already exhausted her strength.
"Mom, here's a cake for you. Happy birthday, Mom!"
Charlotte's father couldn't speak for a long time when it came to mentioning cake.
The cake was delicate, small in size, with rose petals sprinkled on top.
Charlotte's mother couldn't get enough of watching Charlotte.
She carried her into the house, never taking her eyes off her.
Her Charlotte, now looks like a healthy child.
The dress was her favorite clothes. She cried before, saying that she had no hair. Now she has hair again, and it is tied into a beautiful braid.
With a blink of her big eyes, her heart would melt away.
"Charlotte..." Charlotte's mother kissed her face, feeling a strange sense of relaxation and happiness in that moment.
Charlotte's father was the same, not knowing why he suddenly became relaxed, as if he had forgotten about everything that had happened before.
He busied himself tidying up the table, then placed the cake on it and inserted the candles.
"Here I come, singing the birthday song!" he said with a big smile on his face.
Charlotte clapped happily and said, "Dad, don't we need to put in thirty candles?"
Charlotte's father chuckled and said, "No need, three will do."
The candle was lit, and the family of three started singing the birthday song. In the candlelight, Charlotte's mother had a happy face, and Charlotte was also very happy.
Charlotte's mother closed her eyes and made a wish, blowing out the candle together with Charlotte.
The small cake was just enough for the three of us to finish.
Charlotte used to enjoy eating cake, but after starting treatment, she had already forgotten the taste of cake.
Charlotte's parents, on the other hand, had not eaten well for several days. This meal turned out to be an incredibly happy feast for them.
"Mom, this is a big surprise from Charlotte...!"
Charlotte held the glass bottle in front of her and said, "This is something Charlotte has been working on for a long time! The flowers were also dried by Charlotte herself!"
"Mom, did you see the little star at the top? It hides the message Charlotte wants to say to you! Remember to take a look..."
