Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Child Longs For Her Parents (2/2)
Han Changhong endearingly patted her head. ”Daddy won't wake up. He is sleeping.”
Han Luo naively asked, ”Why?”
Han Changhong tried to force out a smile. ”If Luo'er comes to visit daddy every week, daddy might wake up!”
Han Luo pursed her lips. ”Daddy lazy!” She couldn't believe that her dad was sleeping here when she was looking for him everywhere. She was annoyed.
”Daddy is just tired. Let him sleep. I'll take you to your mother.” After that, he took her to the Han family's cemetery to show her her mother's grave. Han Changhong felt his heart sink deeper into sorrow. But he knew there was no way to lie about this. ”Mommy is inside the stone. She cannot meet you anymore. She is gone. She won't come back.” Han Changhong clenched his teeth. He said too much. ”Luo'er, your mommy and daddy cannot hug you anymore. They cannot play with you anymore. If you love your mommy and daddy, you have to visit them.”
Despair had defeated hope. Han Luo's tears cascaded out of her watering eyes. Her cries came out like an uncontrollable torrent. ”Did I. bad mommy, daddy Luo'er sorry I'll be good girl come back mommy, daddy”
Her clear white eyes had become bloodshot. Little Luo's tears of hail streamed down her flushed cheeks. The passers-by who had heard Han Luo could feel her heartbreak inside of them, just by hearing her wails. Their hearts were overpowered by her cry.
After returning home, Han Changhong, Han Sheng Ming and Tong tried to cheer poor Luo up. It was all in vain. For two days, Han Luo didn't eat. She couldn't eat. She could only cry herself awake and cry herself to sleep.
Han Luo's tears had soon dried out. She had lost the strength to do anything, causing her to lose consciousness. Han Luo was over exhausted and suffered from a high fever.
Her temperature rose quickly, and the burning heat she let off had no way of cooling down. Little Luo became so weak that Han Changhong had no option but to send her to the hospital. It was only after she was given saline and vitamins did she regain consciousness. Han Luo stayed at the hospital for four days before coming back to the main residence of the Han Family.
Han Luo's return to the mansion marked her journey to free herself from the shackles of seclusion, as though a miracle had happened. She had begun to speak with others, though she wasn't as cheerful as before. Everyone at the Han Family's residence felt relieved when little Luo started to eat again. The doctor who gave her frequent check-ups agreed that she was improving faster than expected.
The Han Family took further measures to make her happier; they took her to the amus.e.m.e.nt park and other places which served as a comforting distraction.
A week later, Han Luo's radiant smile had returned.
