Joshua was sent to the emergency room and hospitalized for three whole days. When he awoke once more, he received a call from Nellie.
“Daddy.“ From the other end of the phone, the little girl’s cute whine drifted into his ears. “Do you remember what day it is tomorrow?“
Lying on the hospital bed, Joshua took a glimpse at the calendar on the wall and narrowed his eyes slightly. “It’s your Mommy’s birthday.“
He never forgot Luna’s birthday. When they were still married, every year he wanted to give her a proper celebration. But when the day arrived, he felt that his preparations were too pretentious and overly affectionate, so in the end, he would always throw the present at her casually, telling her that it was just a random purchase. Where in fact…every present he gifted her was chosen carefully by him.
Six years ago after Luna was involved in the accident, he wanted to tell her all this, but she was no longer around. This year…he had prepared her present a long time ago.
”Daddy, I’m surprised you remember ! ”
Nellie was excited to hear that her father remembered her mother’s birthday. ”So did you prepare a present for Mommy?”
Joshua nodded. ”Yeah.”
”Nigel and I prepared a present too ! ” Nellie took a deep breath. ”But I think Mommy has gone through a very tough time in the past few years, taking care of the three of us all by herself.”
A minute later, Joshua received an email from Nigel. The email contained the plans for Luna’s birthday celebrations. He scanned through the email, the children’s effort and attention were obvious to the eye. However, many of the plans they laid out would be very difficult to implement.
Seeing Joshua study the proposal seriously and making remarks on it, Lucas frowned. “Sir, do you really plan to hold a birthday party for Mrs. Lynch?“
Joshua nodded without even bothering to look up. “ The incident a few days ago angered her, this party would also serve as an apology.“
With that, he closed his laptop. “Ask the doctors to give me a steroid shot. I want to be discharged.“ Lucas’ eyes widened in shock. “No, you can’t!
