Emily dropped her jaw. Her eyes twinkled, reflecting the light. âThat means we donât need school permission, Louis.â
âAnd we can help Auntie prepare the wedding! I can help choose the menu for the guests,â Louis raised his hand high.
âAnd I can help with choosing the outfits and bridal make-up.â Emily imitated her brotherâs movements then nodded firmly.
Grimacing, Barbara took a deep breath. âThank you, Emily, Louis. Philip and I actually plan not to bother anyone. We want to prepare this wedding ourselves. Be independent. But if we have trouble, we will contact you.â
âReady, Auntie.â Louis placed four fingers on the tips of his eyebrow.
Emily followed. âWeâre ready to help with anything.â
âOh, I canât wait to see the party. Iâve never attended a wedding in a big city,â Abigail exclaimed with sparkling eyes. There was no sadness on her face. She seemed to have really let go of Philip. âB wait. You invite me, right?â
Barbara nodded slightly. âOf course. If you werenât there, who wou accompany Grandma to our wedding?â
Abigail curled up her lips again. âThank you, Barbara. Iâm glad my childhood friend found a girl as kind as you.â
Barbara waved her hand in front of her chuckle. âI am the lucky one to find a man as good as him.â
Abigail nodded slightly. After a blink, she looked back at the twins.â Then, what about your third wish?â
Louis snapped his fingers even though it didnât make a sound. âOur third wish is for Avaâs mother to recover. We hope she can wake up
soon and meet all of us.â
Avaâs back straightened. Her eyes flickered with disbelief. âYou guys⦠made a wish for my mother?â
The twins nodded.
âYou have become part of our family, Ava. Of course we hope you are happy too.â Emily blinked her round eyes slowly.
âYes! If your mother recovers, Emily and I will be happy. Mommy and Daddy too.â
Avaâs eyes involuntarily began to fill with tears. Her lips opened slightly, letting out a feeling that was too difficult to express in words.
âThank you,â she said softly. Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and looked down. âIâm very lucky to know you guys. Without you, I might not be able to spend the New Year with my mother.â
Susan stroked Avaâs shoulder. However, it was Kara who spoke up.
âIn fact, we are lucky to have known you, Ava. Without your he party wouldnât have happened. Frank and Barbara must still be
worried about their mother.â
Ava looked up with a face full of emotion. Her nod gave Louis an
âEmily, how about we visit Avaâs mother for a while? Letâs wish h happy new year and prayers.â
âGood idea, Louis.â With a bright smile, the little girl looked at Kara Mommy, can we visit Avaâs mother before we go to bed?â
Kara stroked her chubby cheek. âArenât you sleepy yet?â
The twins shook their heads together.
âWe took nap twice, Mommy. Weâre not sleepy yet.â Emily widened her eyes to look fresher.
âI actually think we wonât be able to sleep tonight,â Louis nodded with pursed lips.
âWell then, send her my regards, hmm?â
The twinsâ laughter was heard again. âThank you, Mommy.â
After kissing Karaâs cheek, they left with Ava. Jeremy took the initiative to escort them. The others looked on them with meaningful
smiles.
âThey are truly extraordinary kids. Always enthusiastic and attentive. It wouldnât be wrong if you called them Little Angels, Kara.â
Kara let out a small laugh. âThank you, Grandma. They are the most beautiful gifts for us.â
âAnd soon, another gift will arrive,â Wela continued, glancing at Karaâs stomach. âHow are you, pregnant mom?â
Kara welcomed Welaâs outstretched hand. âMuch better thanks to supplements you recommended.â
Wela laughed briefly. Then, she glanced at the new faces she had seen for a long time. While she and Rony introduced themselves, twins and Ava arrived at their destination.
âHello, Mrs. Connor! Happy new year!â Louis jumped with his arm
outstretched when he entered the room.
Emily quickly raised her index finger to her mouth, whispering. âDonât be too loud, Louis. Itâs late. What if Mrs. Connor is disturbed?â
Louisâ lips pursed. âIsnât that good? If Mrs. Connor is annoyed, she will get angry. Then, she gets up and celebrates New Year with us. I donâ mind being scolded for a while.â
Emily blinked with knitted eyebrows. âYouâre right. If Mrs. Connor wakes up, thatâs even good. Ava, can we sing for your mother?â
Ava smiled faintly when she heard that, and then she realized. Her
mother never received entertainment since she was in a coma.
âWhat song do you want to sing?â
Emily put her index finger to her chin. âLouis, do you have any ideas?â
Instead of giving advice, Louis began to sing loudly. âWeeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweemoweh.â
Emily patted her forehead. She remembered that Louis did like talking about the Lion King lately. She just didnât think her brother could
choose the soundtrack.
âLouis, Mrs. Connor is not a lion,â Emily protested.
However, Louis instead closed his eyes and sang with all his heart. His hands were pressed to his mouth as if holding a microphone.
âIn the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.â
Ava let out a laugh. Shaking her head, she sat next to her mo watching how Louis performed.
A second later, Emily joined in singing. âWee heeheeheehe aweemoweh.â
Avaâs laughter got louder. However, in her heart, she felt sad. Sh forgot the last time she laughed like that.
When Louis and Emily finished singing, she clapped her hands. even stood up as if paying her respects. âThat was a great performance, Louis, Emily.â
Avaâs voice was light. The twins had never seen her lips curl that wide. While approaching the bed, they blushed.
âThank you, Ava. I hope that will cheer up Mrs. Connor. Sorry if Louisâ voice is a little shaky. Weâll practice again.â
Louis elbowed Emily lightly. âMy voice isnât shaking, Emily. Thatâs called vibrato. I made my voice vibrate on purpose.â
Ava chuckled. Her pale face was now a little radiant.
âGuys, why donât you say hello to my mother? She likes children. So, she will definitely be happy to hear your voices.â
Louis looked up, while Emily tiptoed towards the bed. Seeing the two toddlers struggling, Ava lifted them to sit on her lap.
âHello, Mrs. Connor. Let me introduce myself, Iâm Louis and this is my sister, Emily.â
Emily waved even though the woman had her eyes closed. âWe came to comfort and wish you a happy new year. We hope you wake up quickly. Ava has been missed you so much.â
âI saw that Ava was sad earlier. Everyone in the gazebo has a family. Even Abigail has just been adopted as a daughter by Mrs. Be But Ava looked aloof.â
âLouis,â Emily whispered, âdonât make Mrs. Connor and Ava sa
âThatâs called motivation, Emily. Who knows, Mrs. Connor will b more eager to wake up. She must miss Ava too. Sheâs been sle for too long.â
Ava blinked contemplating those words. Sadness crept up, weigh
down her shoulders.
Suddenly, Louis exclaimed. âOh? Mrs. Connorâs hand moved?â
âYes, I saw it too. Is she awake?â
Ava spontaneously put the twins down. With shaking eyes, she
checked on her mother.
