Sunshine looked at Pixieâs photo with eager eyes and sweetly said, âThis is from the hospital I was admitted to when I was sick.â
Esther was overjoyed and couldnât wait to call Anna.
After a few rings, Anna answered, panting, âEsther, whatâs up?â
Excitedly, Esther said, âAnna, Sunshine said she saw Pixie at the hospital before!â
âReally? Thatâs wonderful!â Anna was genuinely happy for Esther and understood the purpose of the call. âThe hospital Sunshine was admitted to when she was sick is the church. hospital. I can come with you when Iâm free if you want.â
Esther couldnât wait for Annaâs availability. She wanted to go to the church hospital immediately to see Pixie.
âNo need. Iâll take the kids there now to have a look. Anna, Iâm so happy. Without Sunshine, I wouldnât have known where to start looking for Pixie in this worldâ¦â
When Pixie was adopted and taken abroad, Esther knew she faced a challenging search.
Unexpectedly, Sunshine had pointed her in the right direction.
âThat means Sunshine and you are destined. Esther, please be careful and stay safe,â Anna said.
âOkay.â
Esther was beaming with joy.
Benz couldnât help but smile at Estherâs happiness. âTaking care of two children alone might be difficult.
How about this? Iâll go with you?â
âThank you.â
Benz drove his vintage car, taking Esther, Felix, and Sunshine to the church hospital.
Sunshine was well-known to the doctors and nurses at the church hospital, having stayed there during her illness.
âSunshine!â
âHi, Sunshine!â
âHi, little princess!â
Sunshine responded warmly to their warm greetings.
As they walked through the hospital, Esther followed behind Sunshine, holding Felixâs hand. Sunshine felt at home, and everyone who knew her greeted her, some even offering snacks.
Sunshine received a large bag of snacks as they walked a short distance. She sweetly thanked the givers, endearing herself to everyone around.
Many people enjoyed the sun on the grassy lawn of the church hospital while graceful swans swam in the distant lake.
Nervously, Felix held Estherâs hand and asked, âMommy, will we see Pixie soon?â
âI think so, if everything goes smoothly,â Esther replied, her hand becoming sweaty as her heart pounded wildly.
From her experience with Tinkerbell, Esther was determined to keep Pixie by her side. No matter who tried to stop her, no one could separate them this time.
Sunshine led Esther to the wardâs entrance and pointed at the pattern on the door, saying, â Mommy, I saw Pixie in here before.â
