Chapter 980: The Aftermath of the Funeral Song
"Come on! Y'all come over and put cream on everyone's face, it's a birthday tradition among Muggle friends, isn't it? ”
Seeing that Harry, Ron, and Neville were also pushed to the side of the hospital bed, and little Cathy giggled and applied a finger of cream with her own hands, Maca couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
But when everyone finds out that little Cathy finally falls on Maca, he suddenly realizes that the smile on his face is about to be snatched away by someone else.
"Oh, beautiful Cathy, don't you think you should save a little?"
However, to be honest, since Hannah's cake is not very big, little Cathy is already frugal enough. Right now, everyone's faces are actually just a finger of cream.
However, looking at the amount left in the tray, Maca felt that she was afraid that she would receive a relatively special "care".
"Come on! Come here! ”
Seeing that little Cathy was completely unmoved, just waved at him insistently, he could only honestly walk to little Cathy's bedside and lean down in resignation.
"Don't do it too much, I'm really not used to smearing these slippery greasys on my face—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw little Cathy pick up the fresh cream in the tray with both hands without hesitation and happily press it on his face.
Rubbing off the cream covering her eyes with her hands, Maca opened her eyes and licked her lips a little helplessly.
"Alright! Maybe an occasional cream application will be good for the skin......" He smashed the delicate sweetness in his mouth, and made a joke as if giving up completely, but finally said, "Oh, Hannah! Seriously, your craft is really good. ”
Maca's face was covered with cream, which caused the big guys to laugh again. Luna, in particular, always has a tendency to be a little uncontrollable once she laughs, and that laughter is quite magical.
But because of what Maca had just said, Harry and the other boys seemed to have tasted a little helpless sadness from this joy, which made them unconsciously restrain their smiles.
Unconsciously, probably because of the lack of male participation, the laughter gradually became thinner and thinner. As everyone was affected one by one and stopped laughing, the atmosphere suddenly changed from light to heavy.
And this is another reason why Maca suddenly told Harry and the others about the matter just now - the time to come is always coming, and he needs those boys who are not very good at hiding their minds to create this opportunity.
Right now, some of the people in the ward don't know what's going on, while others already know some of the cruel realities.
Even Luna, a special girl who is usually not affected by the environment, gradually put away her smile. Of course, in the end, it still feels like it's a few beats slower than the others.
Perhaps aware of something from the sudden abrupt atmosphere, Mrs. Pierce suddenly looked over to Marca.
Maca then bowed slightly at her, and then said to everyone:
"Let's all get out! It's Cathy's birthday, and I think she's going to need a little alone time with her mom, what do you think? ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Harry and the others, and they immediately cooperated in taking Hermione and the other girls out of the ward.
Little Cathy, who had known from the beginning, was silent at first, but when she saw that Maca had picked up a patient who had difficulty walking around and that the other patients were about to leave the place, she finally couldn't help but call:
"Mara, Maca?"
No matter how mature and sensible little Cathy is, and whether she is one of the creators of this opportunity, she is still a very precocious child.
Maca could hear an imperceptible tremor from her soft, seemingly casual cry.
As for Mrs. Pierce, who was standing nearby, she wouldn't have understood the true meaning of little Cathy's name when she called out Marca's name. She didn't know it, she would just think that her daughter was upset that everyone was leaving.
"Well, get Mr. Woods out for me......"
After handing over the patient at hand to another patient with minor injuries, Maca stopped, then slowly turned around and returned to little Cathy's bedside.
"Madam, it's just my words, it's okay to stay, right?"
Seeing her daughter reach out and grab Maca's sleeve, Mrs. Pierce nodded silently.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. McLean."
Maca could feel her sleeve being clutched tightly by Cathy's tiny hand - what kind of expression was she on now? Maca didn't look down.
After that, the room fell silent, and only the tense breathing of Mrs. Pierce proved that the space had not frozen.
After about two or three minutes, Madame finally spoke.
"Little Cathy, my mother didn't want to tell you about this...... It was Mr. McLean who taught me that even the last memories are often more regretful than leaving nothing behind. ”
"So, in order not to regret it in the future, Mom decided to tell you this fact."
At this point, Mrs. Pierce had no more reason not to say it. Seeing that she didn't care that Maca was also in front of her, she silently untied the belt around her waist, and then let her coat slide to the ground.
And at that moment, her upper body was immediately exposed to the air. It can be seen that except for the outer robe just now, her extremely thin upper body is not wearing any clothes, but it is tightly wrapped in bandages.
Faintly, even through the gaps in the bandages, a trace of black translucent flames poked out of it from time to time, like a living thing without wind.
Yes, serious injuries are imminent, but it is actually Mrs. Pierce.
This is the terrible consequence of the terrible consequences of her own body blocking a black flame in order to protect little Cathy in the disaster in London.
As a result, her soul was severely damaged even by Maca, and little Cathy only injured one arm.
However, although she thought that little Cathy had fainted at that time, she didn't expect that little Cathy had already burned that scene deep into her heart.
"My daughter...... Mom may not be able to stay with you for too long. ”
As Mrs. Pierce has just said, this reality, though brutal, is something that sooner or later little Cathy will know. Rather than hiding it and exchanging a short period of peace for a sudden impact, the mother and daughter might as well take advantage of the last time to create the last meaningful memory.
What's more, little Cathy has always known the truth, but it was the lady herself who was kept in the dark.
"Big brother, I know you've done your best, the bad guys are just those black monsters on the street. But, please help me and let Mom tell the truth! I don't want her to hold it in such pain anymore......"
Maca still remembers that the other day, when he was examining little Cathy and Mrs. Pierce was on her way to the restaurant to buy lunch, the very sensible little girl whispered a plea to herself.
To be honest, even Maca was a little surprised by how smart and sensible this little girl was. Even though she, like other people her age, has a lot of very childish things, but her discerning eyes can see a lot of things.
For example, in order not to be aware of her injuries, Mrs. Pierce asked Maca to wait for her to go outside to deal with her every time she was treated.
But after a lot of times, little Cathy easily saw through the pattern, and even struggled to get out of the hospital bed and peeked into the process of Maca's treatment of her mother.
And it is precisely because of this that Maca, of course, immediately discovered little Cathy's actions, which led to these secret exchanges and plans between the two.
It's just that little Cathy's strength is still limited after all, so she couldn't help but secretly stop Maca when she was about to leave.
Perhaps she subconsciously realized that she needed someone to bear this unparalleled pain with her. Otherwise, she would probably collapse on the spot when she saw her mother tell the so-called "truth" herself.
"Mom!"
When Mrs. Pierce's extremely abnormal upper body was revealed, and when Mrs. Pierce said that her time was short, little Cathy pounced on her and couldn't help but hug her.
"Mom, how can it be...... How so, why ......"
Lowering her head slightly, Maca looked at the slight wrinkles that had been crumpled out of her cuffs, and did not raise her eyes again for a short time.
He understands that at this time, little Cathy is no longer suppressing her acting, she is really calling for the injustice of this world.
"Why" is that the Pierce family, which has long been without a father and a husband, will now be robbed of a mother. This world, "how could it" be so ruthless.
Seriously, Maca would love to know the answer to that question - if there is a pair of hands that are controlling the world, what the hell is the owner of those hands thinking?
He wondered why he had been thrown into this colorful but unrealistic world.
"Mom...... Cathy can understand, Cathy doesn't cry...... So, Mom doesn't cry too, okay? ”
Hearing this, Maca suddenly looked up.
It turned out that in silence, Mrs. Pierce had already had tears on her face.
After a moment of silence, watching the mother and daughter embracing each other without saying a word, Maca knew that little Cathy didn't need him anymore.
So, he left the room quietly, without making any sound.
"Let them stay in there a little longer! Let's not disturb them," said Maca, who had just come out of the corridor, calmly, "Let's go to the tea room on the sixth floor and a cup of afternoon tea." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly saw a figure running out of the corner of the corridor in the distance—it was Sirius.
