[007]Miss M

When Whishaw entered the room, he deliberately stepped lightly. Scarlett couldn't sleep well for the past few days, and she was only willing to lie beside her father's hospital bed every day. Waking up for a while.

Scarlett persuaded her father to give up the treatments that made him barely live for a few hours but made him suffer. She had no contact with the outside world, because the doctor said, it was only a few days.

"Hmm..." Although Whishaw slowed down as much as possible, Scarlett, who was not a deep sleeper, was startled. There were obvious dark circles under her eyes, and she hadn't had a good sleep for many days. up.

"Have some porridge!" Whishaw put the thermos bag on the table. "I bought it from your favorite store. I think you know better than anyone that you need to replenish your energy."

Scarlett took a small sip of the porridge in the lunch box. Although she still had no appetite, she still forced herself to drink a bowl: "It's just to buy porridge for me when you have a skill like this. Isn't it too good to be useful?"

"If you can drink a few more sips, you're not considered overqualified."

Both Whishaw and Scarlett deliberately lowered their voices: "Didn't sleep last night?"

"Yeah." Scarlett didn't say much, just pointed to her father on the hospital bed, "He just fell asleep. When he woke up in the middle of the night last night...he was very energetic, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid it's a flashback.

"What should come will always come, I'll help you watch, you go lie down on the sofa for a while!"

Scarlett shook her head, she didn't dare to leave her father's hospital bed, for fear that she would be separated forever if she left for a while.In the past, she only cared about M, and desperately wanted to get M's care and praise, but she never cared about her father's love for her. Some things are cherished only after they are lost.

"Then you lean on my shoulder for a while?" Whishaw moved a stool and sat down next to Scarlett. "Your dark circles tell me that you need to rest now. Otherwise, your father will see you like this." Look, how distressed will it be?"

"I'm haggard?" Scarlett took out a mirror from the handbag beside her and looked at it. Indeed, the blood in her eyes and the dark circles under her eyes were so obvious. She took out a foundation box, and she refilled one for herself. Makeup, cover the blackness under the eyes as much as possible, "it seems to be better this way."

Whishaw sighed silently, Scarlett is not a woman who likes makeup, but these days, she has never removed the makeup on her face, she can only rely on it to cover up her embarrassment.

Scarlett like this made him feel bad.

Scarlett finally took a nap against Whishaw, but woke up quickly, her nerves were always tense, and she couldn't fall asleep at all, but fortunately Whishaw was an amazing experience for her. She was reassured, although she only slept for an hour, but her spirit has obviously improved a lot.

After drinking a cup of iced coffee to fully wake herself up, her father also gradually woke up. His spirit today is obviously much better than before, but Scarlet's heart sank like this, making her even more sure that this is him. of backlight.

He gave Whishaw a look, the tacit understanding between the two for so many years was enough for Whishaw to understand Scarlett's meaning, he walked out of the room gently, leaving the space for the father and daughter, and dialed Tanner's phone: "He may...be dying."

"I'll tell M."

Scarlett looked at her father on the hospital bed and slowly rolled up the bed. She knew that he must have something to say to her.

"How many days have you not had a good rest?" Looking at the dark circles under his daughter's eyes, although she tried to cover it up with makeup, it was his own daughter, how could he not be clear, "Scarlett, you don't need What are you blaming yourself for?"

"I'm sorry, Dad..."

I'm sorry, for so many years, I have pretended not to see your love;

I'm sorry, I haven't been with you well for so many years;

I'm sorry, I didn't know about your illness until the last chapter of your life;

I'm sorry, I want to use my company for less than a month in exchange for your forgiveness.

"Silly girl, why did you say sorry to Dad? I never blamed you. You have always been my pride and your mother's pride."

When M was mentioned, Scarlett's face was slightly unnatural: "I...I know."

"Don't be angry with your mother. You know, there are two most important women in my life. One is you and the other is your mother."

"Ah."

Scarlett just responded in a low voice.

"Promise Dad, don't be angry with your mother. She cares more about you than you think, I know, you always want to go out to work, you want to get her attention and approval, then do you know, she doesn't care about you in private. Don't worry about you going out on the field, 00-level agents don't live long, Scarlett, after I leave, you will be her only relative..."

Does M really have selfishness towards her?Scarlett didn't believe it.

"Among small family and country, she chose country, and that's why I love her, so I never blame her...never. Scarlett, I think you understand your mother, she is not good at expressing feelings , doesn't mean she doesn't love you."

"Does she love me?"

"Do you remember the time when you were kidnapped when you were a child? Do you know how anxious she was? That was the first time I saw her look so abnormal. She was always calm and rational in front of everyone. Can you The only one who made her lose her mind was you, Scarlett."

"I once heard her say with my own ears that if it wasn't because killing me would affect her body and make her unable to work for nearly half a year, she would definitely kill me without hesitation. She never wanted to keep me."

The daughter's stubbornness is sometimes very similar to that of her wife.

"Scarlett, people change..."

"is it?"

"Promise me one thing." Seeing the familiar figure flashing by outside the door, the man on the hospital bed held his daughter's hand, "Don't confront your mother, she is in MI[-], and I am very happy to have you by my side." Don't worry... She needs your help, the only person she can trust forever unconditionally is you... Promise Dad this last thing, okay?"

"...Okay, I promise you."

Having achieved his goal, the man breathed a sigh of relief: "I haven't tasted your dessert for a long time..."

"What do you want to eat, I'll prepare it right away."

Scarlett was overjoyed to hear that her father finally had an appetite. Even if it came back to him, she would try her best to satisfy him.

"As long as you do it, I like it."

There is a dessert shop at the entrance of the hospital. Scarlett borrowed the kitchen from them. The materials are all ready-made, and it didn’t take too much time. When she saw the M&M chocolate beans in the kitchen, the colorful colors made her She recalled when her father took her to see a rainbow when she was a child.With little hesitation, she made a rainbow cake.

When she returned to the ward, Scarlett was surprised to see M sitting beside her father's hospital bed, and hearing her footsteps, M looked at her, her eyes resting on the rainbow cake in her hand: "If he can see You must be very happy when you do this, just now, he told me about taking you to see the rainbow..."

If only he could see...

If only he could see...

If only he could see...

Scarlett didn't listen to what M said at all, and there was only one sentence in her mind—he... couldn't see it anymore.

"Just now... he deliberately dismissed me, right?"

Pursing her lips, Scarlett spoke.

"... Not exactly. He said, let me try your handicrafts. The desserts you make are all delicious, but I, a mother, have never tasted them once."

"You don't like sweets, I remember." Scarlett wanted to drop the cake in her hand, but when she saw M reaching out, she handed the cake to her. She didn't want to be with M in front of her father. Unhappy, because she just promised him not to be angry with M.

Angry.

Whether you are angry or not is not important anymore, the important thing is——

He still left.

She should be happy to be free from all pain, no longer tormented by illness, isn't she?But why, her face was wet, and she couldn't wipe it dry, and her tears couldn't stop no matter what...

M took a bite of the cake made by Scarlett: "It's delicious, no wonder your father keeps telling me that I should try it."

"I won't be making rainbow cake again..."

The rainbow cake is a memory between her and her father, and she will never make it again when his father is gone.

"he……"

"He walked very peacefully, without any pain. He told me that he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while... and he didn't wake up again..."

Scarlett looked at her father's sleeping face and left in his sleep, which might not have been a kind of happiness.

M knew Scarlett's heart knot, maybe it was her husband's death that made her suddenly emotional: "He didn't want to break his promise, he told me before he fell asleep that you would wake him up when you came, and he would eat the dessert you made. "

"I know……"

Her father would never break his word to her, she always knew it.

If he is alive in heaven, he must also regret his breaking his promise.Such a father, how could she blame him?
