A Mysterious Man

Chapter 244 Can I Go to See My Dad and Aunt

Macie's question leaves everyone in the room frozen in their place.

A mixed look flashes across Kelly's face.

When they don't answer her question, Macie thinks she is asking something that she shouldn't have

asked.

But...

There is nothing wrong with her questions.

Dad lost his memory, and can't remember her, so will he remember mommy?

After all, dad liked mom so much!

Mrs. Wade stands still and looks at Mr. Wade, who has a headache after receiving her gaze.

How should they tell Macie about the news?

He does not know how to explain it to her.

This is a pretty tricky thing.

Kelly gets up and walks over to Macie, then sits down next to her and says, "Does Macie think daddy

remembers mommy?"

Kelly has some experience working with children as she once worked as a teaching assistant in the

kindergarten.

Macie thinks about it for a while, then looks up and says, "I don't think he can remember."

Dad doesn't even remember her, even grandparents and aunts. How can he remember mother?

But she just wants to get an answer.

Kelly is heartbroken when she heard Macie's answer, but she has to help Macie understand these

things.

"Macie is good." she caresses Macie's head. "You father has forgotten everything, even forgot Macie

and Macie's mommy, because he had a head injury."

"But..." Macie frowns, "Daddy is just sick. It hasn't hurt his head!" she says, puzzled.

It is just some minor illness, and her father did not hurt the head. How can he lose his memory?

She knows that amnesia would happen when the head gets hurt, but her father did not get his head

hurt.

Kelly is speechless for a moment, then looks at Macie's big eyes and purses her lips. "Your dad's

illness is very serious. The virus has invaded his brain, so he suffers from amnesia.

Macie nods and thinks for a moment, then she tilts her head and says, "So, aunt Kelly, the virus is

fighting the guard in daddy's brain, and the guard lost, so the virus hurts daddy's head?"

Kelly is both relieved and surprised by Macie's understanding.

Nodding her head, Kelly says, "Yes, Macie is smart. You figure it all out."

She puts her arms around Macie, fighting back her tears, her eyes red and her lips pressed together.

Kelly feels very distressed for Macie, and hates the woman fainted upstairs.

If it isn't for Butler, Macie wouldn't have to bear all these at a young age.

The happy family has become fragmented. How sad it is.

Mrs. Wade sighs, looking at Macie in Kelly's arms with mixed feelings.

After a while, Mrs. Wade gets up and goes to the kitchen. "Macie," she says, "How about I make some

strawberry pudding for you?"

Macie loves strawberry pudding because it is the first dessert Kevin bought her.

When Macie hears of her favorite food, she smiles contentedly, struggles out of Kelly's arms, and says,

"Thanks, Grandma! Macie wants it!"

When Mrs. Wade comes into the kitchen, Mr. Wade gets up and goes to the study after a brief talk with

Kelly.

Kelly sits downstairs and plays games with Macie, takes her to read picture books and comics, and

reads stories to her.

Children's reading habits should be cultivated from an early age.

In this regard, the Quinn family begins to cultivate Macie's reading habit when she was young.

Every child, even a few months old, is capable of self-reading.

This is not a fallacy, nor is it a folklore.

Even babies can read picture books by themselves.

The older children in kindergarten could read words and they can read pictures after they have learned

some characters.

Babies of a few months old are more interested in pictures in picture books.

They may make surprised sounds when reading picture books, a way to show that they are happy to

find something new.

Perhaps because of the family cultivation, Macie now enjoys reading books.

It is half an hour before Mrs. Wade comes out with the strawberry pudding.

Strawberry pudding ingredients are prepared at home. The time-wasting items will be prepared in

advance so that Macie can eat pudding anytime she wants without waiting too long.

"Macie, come and eat your pudding!" Mrs. Wade carries the strawberry pudding into the living room

and places it on the coffee table, looking at Macie tenderly while she is reading.

Macie, absorbed in reading, waves her hand and says, "Grandma, I'll eat it later. Let me finish the

book."

Kelly today gives Macie the Water Margin.

Combined with pictures, the novel presents the inspiring story to children.

Seeing Maice so absorbed in the reading, Mrs. Wade let Maice focus on the books and sits beside

Kelly, watching the drama with her.

Kelly and Mrs. Wade's relationship has always been harmonious, and Mrs. Wade appreciates Kelly's

decency.

Kelly also likes the open old lady, who is not as rigid and conservative as the old ladies in other

families, and she gets along well with the young people.

When she went shopping with Mrs. Wade, Kelly was surprised to find that Mrs. Wade is also a very

fashionable lady.

Generally, the old ladies cannot accept the miniskirts, boat neckline clothes, but Mrs. Wade not only

accepts those clothes, and even helps Kelly choose suitable ones for her.

After reading the picture book, Macie gets down from the sofa and puts the book back where it is.

Kelly, however, notices her move and stands up. "Macie, leave it to me. Go and eat the pudding."

If for other ordinary children, they might agree.

After all, why not just have some puddings and let others help you put back the book?

Macie, however, shakes her head and says, "I will do it myself. Aunt Kelly, go watch TV with grandma."

Kelly is amused by her serious look. "It's okay. I am happy to help you."

But Macie still shakes her head stubbornly, "No, Aunt Kelly. I am already a primary school student and I

have to do my own things by myself. I have to put back the books after reading."

Kelly had no choice but to let her do it.

Since the little girl is willing to do it herself, just let her do it.

Besides, children are so spoiled now. It is rare that Macie still maintains this good habit.

Macie hurries over and puts away the books she has brought, and arranges it nearly as she likes.

And then she hurries over to the sofa and picks up the pudding.

Holding a spoon in her hand, she scoops up a spoonful of pink pudding and, with Kelly and Mrs. Wade

watching, holds the pudding to Mrs. Wade's mouth.

"Granny, have some."

She tilts her head and blinks at Mrs. Wade.

"No," Mrs. Wade shakes her head with a smile, "All for Macie." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Macie, however, doesn't believe her at all. She keeps a straight face and says, "Granny brought it for

me, and we share good food, so granny should have some."

She says with a stern face, which is a bit similar to Kevin when he is a child.

At the thinks of her son, Mrs. Wade sighs, and feels sad.

She smiles and touches Macie's head. "Thank you, Macie. The pudding is delicious."

Mrs. Wade thinks Macie will eat the pudding, but instead she puts it down and walks up to Mrs. Wade

and hugs her.

She gently pats Mrs. Wade on the back, and says softly, "Don't be sad, granny. Father will remember

us!"

She doesn't know whether she hears the affirmation in Macie's tone or because of Macie's sensitivity

and comfort, Mrs. Wade feels moved.

Macie squints her eyes like a satiated little animal as the sweet and sour pudding comes into her

mouth.

But then, the memories of the past flood into her mind.

Dad...

It is the first dessert daddy has ever bought for her. He says that that a lot of little girls loves strawberry

pudding, and he wonders if little Macie will like it.

She is originally indifferent to this kind of dessert, except Black Forest Cake.

However, because of what daddy says, she falls deeply in love with strawberry pudding.

She likes daddy and the pudding he bought for her.

Macie sniffs, looks up at Kelly and Mrs. Wade, and says softly, "Can I go and see daddy and that

aunt?"
