George picked up the broken Transformer from the floor, fixed it up nicely, and placed in beside the bed âNo matter what, sheâs our mother You can refuse to love her, but you have to respect her,â he said stojcally Harold rubbed his red eyes without answering George knew that they could not keep talking about the subject He paused for a while before he resumed âWere those two lids who came to visit you the night before yesterday your classmates from preschool?â Haroldâs mood instantly brightened He smiled falntly, and his eyes were filled with joy âTheyâre Alden and Melody They came with Aunt Adina lo visit meâ
âMelody?â George looked up âThe girlâs name is Melody?â âYes, I call her Mel George, Iâm telling you, Melâs so cute she doesnât like to speak, but her eyes are full of stories. Her eyes are as big as black grapes Whenever Mel looks at me, I feel like i have the whole world.â
Haroldâs eyes were bright like the Milky Way George was influenced by Haroldâs emotions. He nodded and said, âYou can invite Mel to our house for dinner next timeâ
âGreat! But all my toys are cars and airplanes, so Mel wonât like them George, help me go to the store and buy some toys that girls would like to play with later Once Iâm discharged, 1â11 bring Mel to our house!â George had a very important meeting later, but he still promised. âOkayâ George only left the ward after he accompanied Harold for half an hour Dew had been sitting and waiting on the long bench at the end of the corridor Her eyes were filled with annoyance, but the second she saw George, her impatience became grief She walked over in der high heels âGeorge, is Harold feeling better now? Can I go inside and visit him âMom, come again toinotrow âGeorge pursed his lips and said, âHeâs sleeping now.â Dew looked disappointed âOkay, Iâll coine again tomorrow.â She took the initiative to hold Georgeâs hand and walk out of the hospital George felt very uncomionable but forced himself not to move out of her grep As they approached the hospitalâs entrance, they bumped into three people Adina was holding Aldenâs hand on her left and Melodyâs band on her nghit hand, and they were walking toward the hospitalâs entrance.
The two groups of people inevitably inel face to face at the only entrance Adina stopped walking She narrowed her eyes and looked at Dew Then, she slowly looked down at George The boy was really Dewâs son They were holding hands in such a close way Therefore, it was not strange for this boy to deal with her on Dewâs behalf For some reason, she felt an uncomfortable and strange tingling when she saw the scene. Adina quietly glanced over with some judgment in her eyes Meanwhile, Dew started to panic She dared not even look Adina in the eyes She did not say anything and just held Georgeâs hand as she walked away quickly âMom, youâre hurting me.â
Once they were far away, George pulled his hand out with all his might, but it was already red from Dewâs grip âIâm sorry, Georgeââ Dew bit her lip. âI just saw Adina and got so scared. I was afraid that she would attack me I didnât want you to see me in my most embarrassing state. Look, George, Mommy didnât do it on purposeâ George turned around and could only catch Melodyâs pink skirt.
