âMommyâ¦â Suddenly, Veronica felt something tugging at her skirt. When she looked down, she saw a little girl pulling on her skirt.
As she met the little girlâs gaze, the girl seemed to be startled and then let go of her hand, âYouâ¦youâre not my mommyâ¦Mommy, I want my mommy!â
Veronica looked at the little girl, who was probably only 4 or 5 years old and must have gotten separated from her family.
âDonât cry! Do you want me to help you find your mommy?â Veronica quickly crouched down and comforted the little girl.
âWill you really help me find my mommy?â The little girl choked out.
âOf course!â Veronica quickly assured her.
However, the other party was just a child who couldnât even remember her parentsâ phone number.
After asking for a while, the only useful information was the little girlâs mother and the fact that she was wearing a dress of the same color as hers. That was why the little girl mistook Veronica for her mother.
âThen letâs take you to the police station, and the police officer will help you find your mommy and daddy, okay?â Veronica said.
2/4 The little girl was already enjoying a cotton candy that Veronica had bitten into. After hearing Veronicaâs words, she quickly nodded her head.
So Veronica took the little girlâs hand and said to Mason, âLetâs take the child to the police station first.â
Mason nodded, but after the little girl had walked for a while, she got tired and opened her arms, shouting, âHug! I want a hug.â
âOkay, let me hug you.â Veronica said, about to bend down to pick up the little girl.
âLet me do it.â Mason said.
The little one clearly didnât want Mason to hold her, and said in a childish voice, âI want sister to hold me.â
Veronica smiled and said, âLet me hold her.â At this age, the child only weighed about 30 pounds, so carrying her for a short distance shouldnât be a problem.
âIâll do it!â Mason said, ignoring the little oneâs protests and picking her up.
âI want sisterâ¦â the little one didnât finish her sentence before Masonâs stern look silenced her.
âMason, donât scare her,â Veronica said.
The little girl shrank back, clearly a little frightened.
Mason asked the little girl, âWhy do you want sister to hold you?â
The little girl stiffened in Masonâs arms and didnât dare move, her voice trembling as she said, âBecause I like sister.â
âSo wouldnât it be easier to be held by the sister you like?â Mason said.
The little girl seemed to be seriously considering this question. After a moment, her body wasnât as stiff, and her expression wasnât as scared as before. It was as if she had gotten used to being held by Mason.
When they passed by a cake shop, the little oneâs face lit up with a look of longing. âMommy said sheâs going to buy me a cake today.â
Veronica smiled knowingly and said, âDo you want sister to buy you one?â
âYes, please. Thank you, sister,â the little one said sweetly.
So Veronica had Mason put the little one down, took her hand, and went into the cake shop to pick out a cake the child would like. Mason followed behind them.
Soon, the little girl had picked out a cake shaped like a small animal, and Mason paid for it. The little one eagerly began to eat 1.
Veronica noticed the situation and decided to let the little girl sit in the cake shop and eat cake. She also ordered a warm glass of milk for the girl. At the same time, she searched for the phone. number of the nearby police station online and called them to prevent the parents from reporting the child missing at the police station, thinking that the child had not been found yet.
