64. Cheer Sky Up

"There's no problem, Sky," Edmund said. "I'm fine. Now, why don't you go to the waiting room? I have to get the medicine and finish the administration."

Before Edmund could take a step, Alice took the paper in his hand.

"Let me take care of it. You and Sky just sit in the waiting room."

While Alice came out of the doctor's office, Edmund looked at Sky with a sad look. "Want to go to the park?"

Sky's eyebrows furrowed. "Is that okay? Mama asked us to sit in the waiting room. What if she is confused about looking for us later?"

Edmund shook his head weakly. "She can see us from the waiting room. The park is nearby."

He reached out his hand. "Want to go with me?"

Sky nodded. Holding Edmund's index finger, she left the room.

At the park, they sat on a long bench under a mango tree. Edmund looked up, looking at the fruit. He thought Sky was doing the same thing, remembering their fun in the forest. But apparently, the little girl was just looking at the photos.

"Do you miss them?"
