Sky looked completely different from the first t| saw him.

The continuous treatment and chemotherapy had turned this child into skin and bones. His face was sunken.

There was barely any flesh on his cheeks.

I held his hand gently. It was just as bony. He was almost the sage as Munchkin, yet he had to go through

this kind of pain and suffering. It made my heart break.

Should I ask Theo?

Maybe | should ask and see if he had any way of arranging a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. Since |

had already decided to help this child, I should find ways to help him get better sooner. This type of ongoing

chemotherapy was too painful for the child.

Just as | took out my phone to send Theo a message, Sky woke up from his slumber.

The child was stunned when | was the first thing he saw after he woke up. When he finally reacted, his

expression was filled with glee. "You came, Ma'am."

I nodded and asked gently, "Did | wake you?"

"No, I've been waking up from my sleep a lot recently." Sky looked around the ward. When he saw that his

grandparents were not here, he asked, "Did Grandma and Grandpa go eat?"

| nodded. "Do you want swater? I'll get it for you."

"Thank you, Ma'am, but I'm not thirsty."

I smiled and held his hand once more.

The sight of the child's bony physique madesad. "Are you hungry, Sky?"

"Nope."

Since he had just woken up, in addition to him feeling unwell, he was slightly reluctant to speak. He just stared at

the ceiling blankly. | did not know what he was thinking about.

He seemed to do this often. He would stare at the ceiling and think of things that kids his age should not have to

think about.

| was not good at talking to kids, so | was not sure of how to initiate a conversation with him either. Instead, | just

sat with him in silence, keeping him company.

After a while, Sky suddenly asked, "Am | about to die, Ma'am?"

| felt my heart clench at his question as an indescribable sadness filled my chest. | resisted the urge to cry and

shook my head with a smile. "No, you're overthinking. Sky. The doctors will treat you. Once you recover, you can

go to the zoo with your grandparents and see all kinds of animals. You can go play wherever you want."

Sky's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"

I held his hand tightly and gave him a firm nod. "Of course. Once you get better, I'll bring you wherever you want

to go. So, you have to stay strong and cooperate with the doctor's treatments, okay?"

With a renewed sense of hope, Sky responded seriously, "I'll work with the doctor to get better. Once | get better,

| want to eat candies and hamburgers. It's been so long since | had those. Grandma said | can only have those

once I'm better."

| smiled and nodded. "Sure, whatever you want. I'll buy it all for you when you get out. So, you have to try your

best, okay?" "Okay." The little kid suddenly thought of something and retrieved a palm-sized notebook from

under his pillow. He then handed it to me. "Grandma wantedto give you this. She said it was my mom's

diary. Grandma said you're a good person, and she wantsto say thank you." | took the notebook and asked

suspiciously, "This is your mother's diary?"

Sky nodded. "Grandma said it's my mom's diary. | can't read yet. Grandma said to give it to you and that you'll

understand once you read it. She said it'll help you too. But you can't look at it now. You can only look at it once

you get hor the bad guys will steal it from you."

Sky grabbed the notebook and put it into my bag.

| did not question him further. Perhaps Amelia's mother had only told him that much.

We continued chatting about sother stuff. After a while, Amelia's parents returned from their meal.
