Taking a deep breath, Leon crouched down as much as he could on the same level as the little girl. He asked with a smile, "Freya, you like this bag, don't you?"
"I don't like it. It's so ugly and expensive. "The little girl shook her head, looking dislikeful of the bag. However, he could not take his eyes off the bag, no matter what.
Leon smiled, feeling very guilty. He then walked to the supermarket holding his hand.
There's a woman sitting at the cashier. Leon walk.
go straight to the screen while holding Freya's hand. He said to the cashier who came to them, "How much is this bag worth?"
The female cashier looked at Leon well and said with an unnatural smile on her face, "Sir, this bag is exclusively made by Dream Works Animation. It might cost a little..."
"Can you tell me how much it costs?"
"888 yuan!"
Leon nodded. "Please pack it for me."
"It's too expensive. I don't want it!"
Freya shook her head and tried to get out by insisting, "Grandfather and Grandma have to work very hard to buy medicine for me. My bag is still in good condition, and I can still use it."
Leon felt a lump in his throat. "Freya, I have money. I can afford it. From now on, I will make money to feed you. Okay?"
Freya looked at Leon silently, tears flowing like an avalanche a few minutes later." I'm ill. I'm dying. There's no point in buying this."
Leon's brain became empty as he stared at her blankly. He's really stunned. Is that really something a four-year-old can say?
The female cashier stood to the side and watched what happened in silence.
"I know I'm sick, and I know it's serious. My classmates told me that I was an unlucky kid and spent a lot of money. Grandma and Grandpa lied to me. "The little girl tried to hold back her tears while saying weakly, "They are both old. To make money to treat my illness, they're always bullied by bad guys."
Leon felt a large lump in his throat swell up further. "Cats..."
Yola's right. This four-year-old is too old for her age.
Even though he had no idea what leukemia was, he knew that it was a very difficult disease to treat, and it was futile no matter how hard his grandparents worked.
The little girl took a step back with instinct and bit her lips stubbornly. "I'm very sad. I don't want my grandparents to work hard. I don't want them to spend money on me. I'm afraid to die, but I miss mom. I don't even remember how he looked."
The cashier standing at the side wiped his tears silently and retreated back to the entrance quietly to make room for the father and son.
Leon, on the other hand, could no longer hold it. He took the girl into his arms and said while choking, ignoring his struggle, "Freya believe me, you won't die. I have a way to treat you. Even if you die, I will go to the land of the dead to bring you back. Father will not only treat you, but I will also bring you to mother in good health."
Hearing the word 'mom', the little girl stopped resisting. The light shone from her gloomy eyes. "mother? Can I still see Mom? Will you leave me again?"
"Yes, Freya, you will definitely be able to see mom again. I guarantee that day won't be too far in the future." Leon hugged her tightly while kneeling on the ground. She said as she gently stroked her head, "mother will not leave you. He loves you so much."
Freya wiped her tears while looking at Leon with hope written on her face. She looked a little nervous as she whispered, "swear pinky?"
"Yes, swear pinky!"
"You promised me a pinky vow, so you can't take it back for a hundred years!"
Leon stopped crying and revealed a smile. He stretched out his finger and linked it to hers. Freya looked at her torn white shoes and head lowered and said suddenly, "Dad..."
Leon smiled and nodded. His expression froze then and he looked at her in disbelief. "W-did you call me just now?"
"I'm calling you Dad!"
The little girl's head was so low that it fell onto her chest. He was acting very shy like a quail baby.
"Good, good, good!"
Leon felt blood rush to his chest as he goosebumps. He stood up to hug and lift while excited like a child. "You call me Dad! Freya calls me Dad!
"Dad, you hugged me too tightly that I could barely breathe!" The little girl coughed a few times and shifted her body, feeling uneasy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Leon immediately lowered it and crouched down while looking nervous." Did I hurt you where it was? Show me where the pain is."
Freya laughed a little. This time, he took the lead and ran into his arms. She squeezed his neck with both hands and could not stop laughing. “Dad, you are so stupid. I'm doing fine. Let's go home now, Dad. Don't make Grandma and Grandpa worry."
"alright. Let's go home!"
Leon took her in his arms and walked to the cashier cheerfully. He took out his wallet and paid the cashier 900 yuan. Then, she took her daughter again in an attempt to leave after the cashier gave her the change.
"Master, wait!" The cashier's voice came from behind.
Leon turned his head and saw her carrying a half-meter-tall luxury Winnie the Pooh Bear toy while smiling at Freya sweetly. "Little girl, this is for you."
Freya's eyes lit up immediately. However, he backed back into Leon's arms and said shyly, "I'm sorry, we don't have any money."
The cashier chuckled. "This is a gift from me. Free."
"Is that okay? I can pay for it,"
leon said, embarrassed. After all, the woman only worked for the supermarket, and her salary would be cut if she gave the customer a personal gift.
The cashier must have known what he was thinking. He opened his eyes wide and waved his hand. " My family owns this supermarket, and I'm my father's only daughter. Putting aside the plush toys, my father couldn't say anything even if I burned down this shop. So, please, take this."
Leon looked at the little girl in his arms. Freya hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn't help but crave for that cute plush toy. He stretched out his two hands to pull her closer as he became a sweet talker like he had just eaten candy. "Thank you, Miss. You're so pretty!"
"You're a cute little girl!"
The cashier rubbed his cheek with a smile.
"Thank you!" .
Leon then took the little girl out of the supermarket. They arrived in Jokala District more than half an hour later.
Freya struggled out of her arms and shouted in the street where the neighbors lived while blushing, "Grandmother Cio, this is my father! Grandpa Hugo, my father picked me up from school!"
"Fatty, I'll hit you if you dare say that I don't have a father anymore. Don't cry to your mother then."
Leon gently watched the little girl flaunt him in excitement while feeling warm inside. His daughter finally acknowledged him, making him happier than anything.
He lifted his head to look far north and muttered, "Sabrina, our daughter finally acknowledged me. He said he missed you too. Waita minute. I'll bring Freya to you after I treat her!"
