Three days later, Eartha came to visit Yolanda during her break time.

The little girl was cute and sensible, so the nurses in the hospital liked her very much.

When Eartha entered the ward, the head nurse Nancy was combing Yolanda's hair.

Seeing Eartha, Yolanda felt relieved and wiped away the sweat on her forehead with her hand.

Yolanda would be afraid and nervous when she saw strangers, so when Nancy came to comb her hair, she was terrified, but she didn’t show it.

She wanted to be a well-behaved girl so that everyone would like her.

"Aunt Eartha." Yolanda could speak now, but her voice was a bit hoarse.

Eartha affectionately touched Yolanda’s face. Then she sat down and watched Nancy comb her hair.

Nancy had a daughter, so she was skilled in combing hair.

"Yora, you’re so cute." Eartha had three mischievous sons, so she liked Yolanda very much.

Yolanda smiled and said, "Nancy is very skilled. Thank you, Nancy."

Nancy was very happy and said, "Yora, you are so sweet. I’m willing to comb hair for you."

After a while, Nancy left, leaving time for Eartha and Yolanda.

Yolanda blinked her eyes and looked at Eartha, who was hesitant to speak. She asked, "Aunt Eartha, do you have something to say to me?"

Eartha asked, "Yora, do you want to see your father?"

"Has Dad come back?" Yolanda's eyes lit up. She heard from Brandon that her father was on a business trip. Now hearing Eartha’s words, she knew her dad was back and she could see him.

Seeing the anticipation in Yolanda's eyes, Eartha felt very sad. She lovingly touched her hair and nodded. "Yes, he is back. I’ll take you to see him tonight, okay?"

Yolanda bit her lips and nodded, tears streaming down her face.

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy to see your dad?" Feeling very sorry for Yolanda, Eartha hugged her and also shed tears.

Yolanda sniffed and said, "Aunt Eartha, don’t cry."

She clumsily wiped tears from Eartha's eyes, her hands carrying the smell of medicine. "It’s my fault. I made you cry."

"It's not your fault. I’m happy for you," Eartha explained, afraid that Yolanda would feel guilty.

Hugged by Eartha, Yolanda took a breath. Eartha’s hug was fragrant and warm, just like her mother's.

But her mother had died.

Yolanda's eyes were filled with tears, but she tried her best to hold back her tears. She was afraid that Eartha would cry with her, and she was worried that Eartha would get annoyed if she saw her crying all the time.

She must be obedient and sensible so that everyone would like her and not drive her away.

"Yora, I bought you a dress. Wear it and go to see your dad, okay?" Eartha took out a pink dress from her bag.

Yolanda reached out her fingers and carefully touched the pearls on the dress, afraid that she would break them.

Seeing the eager look in Yolanda's eyes, Eartha suggested, "I’ll help you wear it, okay?"

"Okay, thank you." Yolanda showed a cute smile.

Eartha's heart softened, and her movements were gentle, afraid of hurting Yolanda.

"There is no mirror in the ward. I’ll take a photo for you." Eartha took out her phone. Before Yolanda nodded, she took a photo and excitedly showed it to Yolanda.

“Yora, you look cuter in this dress.”

As Yolanda looked at herself on the phone, she was very excited. Wearing a dress and a beautiful hairstyle, she looked like a princess.

Eartha held her phone and said, "Yora, let's take more photos and show them to your dad, okay?"

"Okay," Yolanda said happily.

Eartha took many photos for Yolanda.

When Brandon came in, Eartha was still squatting to take photos for Yolanda, completely unaware that another person was in the ward.

When Yolanda called Brandon, Eartha saw him.

Eartha showed an ugly expression as if Brandon had disturbed her.

Brandon scratched his head. Did he offend Eartha in the past few days?

Eartha checked the time and said to Yolanda, "I’ll go change clothes first. We'll go find your dad later."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you here." Yolanda waved at Eartha, looking very polite and well-behaved.

Eartha once again regretted that she had three sons.

Seeing Eartha leave, Brandon hugged Yolanda up.

She was thin and light.

Yolanda hugged Brandon's neck and saw him frown, thinking that his hand was hurting because she was too heavy, so she struggled to get down.

"What's wrong? You were so intimate with Eartha just now. You don't allow me to hug you?"

"No." Yolanda explained, "I'm afraid that you will think I'm heavy."

Yolanda was so anxious that her eyes turned red, afraid that Brandon might misunderstand her.

Brandon was stunned, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

His third kid was 8 years old, but he still wanted him to hug him. On the contrary, Yolanda was overly cautious. She was not thinking about herself but about others. How much mistreatment had she suffered before?

Brandon said, "Yora, you have returned home now. You are the little princess of our family. We all love you, so you don’t need to be so careful. Can you understand what I said?"

Yolanda nodded, but she still felt heavy in her heart.

"Uncle Brandon, I'm afraid." She timidly raised her eyes. "I'm afraid if I'm not good, Dad will not like me, and you will not like me either."

In her previous life, Yolanda was more cautious than she was now. Whenever she followed her father out, she would be praised for being very obedient and sensible. At that time, her father showed appreciation and kindness in his eyes, so she believed that she must be obedient to win her father's love.

But today, Brandon told her she didn’t need to do this, so Yolanda was puzzled.

What should she do?

At this time, Eartha pushed the door open and walked in. She said in a gentle voice, "Just be yourself, Yora. I guarantee that both your father and your family will like you."

"Yes, Eartha is right," Brandon said.

Eartha rolled her eyes at him and said to Yolanda, "If they don't like you, you can stay with me and be my daughter. Is that okay?"

Both Yolanda and Brandon were speechless.
