Chapter 977: Cathy and her mother
"Who said Hermione and Luna had a fight!"
"Didn't you say that?"
"I'm just saying that Hermione and Luna seemed to have an argument about Maca last night - not to mention the difference between 'argument' and 'argument', did you ignore the word 'as if' as I said?"
Ginny came briskly from the other side of the hallway, first throwing a tantrum at Harry and Ron, then turning to Maca and apologizing:
"I'm sorry, Maca, I shouldn't have said anything superfluous to these two guys......"
"Uh, it's okay, put the two of them aside," Maca said confusedly, looking back and forth at Harry and Ginny, "Ginny, can you tell me what Luna said to you?" β
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have a big misunderstanding, Ron and Harry both shut up and stood aside. And when Ginny heard Maca's words, she immediately recalled:
"Actually, Luna didn't say much...... You know, she rarely talks about it to anyone. I remember mentioning that Hermione had found her last night and wanted her to convince you not to work so hard for us. But Luna doesn't think so-"
"Oh?" Maca nodded, motioning for Ginny to continue.
"Well, Luna thinks it's not all about us." "She said you were going faster than any of us because you were looking for something. She also said that she occasionally spotted Maca you...... It's lonely. β
"'Lonely'?"
This time Maca was really surprised.
Even he himself was stunned for a moment before he realized the meaning of this sentence "loneliness".
"Yes, that's what Luna said." "I don't really understand what she means, but in fact, I can sometimes feel that you and all of us have always had a ......."
"What's there?"
Maca then asked, but she didn't finish her sentence, just looked at Maca and blinked slightly.
"I ...... I don't know what to say. β
Is it true that Ginny doesn't know what to say? No, she just couldn't say the phrase "there is a sense of distance" in front of Maca.
But even if she didn't say it, Maca vaguely felt the general meaning she wanted to express.
"Okay!" Smiling somewhat complicatedly, Maca nodded, "And then?" Did Hermione say anything else after that? Did Luna mention it? β
Ginny shook her head when she heard this.
"No," she said, "Luna didn't say much, but I didn't think the argument between her and Hermione had become too unpleasant...... Hermione was also in normal shape this morning. β
"Thank you, then, for telling me this, and I'll go straight to them and find out more."
Maca smiled at her again, and then finally squinted her eyes and turned her gaze back to Harry and Ron next to her.
"As for the two of you...... Although what you just said makes me feel very happy, but one yard is one yard, and it's not okay to spread rumors and cause trouble for me everywhere! As soon as everyone saw me, I told me to rest, and I thought I should be in the coffin tomorrow! β
Staring at Harry and Ron for a good time, he suddenly spread his hands again and said:
"Looks like you have too little to do to be so idle...... To make the rest of your Christmas holiday more fulfilling, stay with me and volunteer at St. Mungo's until school starts! β
"Then I'll stay and be the overseer for both of them!"
"No way!" "No, no, noβ"
Looking at Ginny's somewhat malicious gaze, Ron immediately objected. As Ginny's boyfriend, Harry, although he also had a bad premonition, he could only protest to her tactfully because of the relationship.
It's a pity that Ginny is so excited, how can she pay attention to the opinions of the two of them?
However, Maca shrugged her shoulders this time.
"Ginny, I have to say, I think you'd better go home-"
"Maca is even ...... you Why? "Don't you think I'm still young?" I know it's probably not safe here, butβ"
"No, no, no," Maca immediately interrupted her, "It's not about age, it's purely because ...... Remember? You and Luna are in fifth grade this year, too! β
"Oh-yes, that's right!" Harry and Ron were next to each other and said in unison, "Fifth year!. LS Exam! β
At this time, Maca also patted her shoulder with a smile on her face.
"Look, that's it."
β¦β¦
"Harry, add another bottle of nourishment to Mr. Woodsβbe careful, don't spill it like you did yesterday."
"Ron, you help Mr. Woods put an extra pillow and bring me a roll of gauze."
As she examined the next wounded, Maca happily called Ron and Harry. Occasionally, when he turned around, he could see two very bitter faces, which made him feel as if the boring life of St. Mungol had become less boring.
Hearing the two of them go to the bed behind him to hand over something, Maca shook her head, and then leaned over and said:
"Cathy, how are you feeling today?"
"It's okay!"
Seeing that the little girl on this hospital bed still looked like a little adult on weekdays, she couldn't help but show an interesting smile.
This is the youngest patient of St. Mungo. At only eight years old, she always didn't want others to see her as a child, and she herself seemed to think that she was old enough, so she often put on this old-fashioned posture.
"Maka, I think I'm almost fine, I should be able to be discharged, right?" She sat on the hospital bed with her pillow and pretended to be sorry, "Oh, I'll remember to miss you when I go out." β
"That's great, I know you're not such a kind girl."
Maca gently lifted her right arm as she chatted casually, and then shook her fingers to untie the bandages and gauze wrapped around her arm.
Suddenly, a layer of faintly recognizable black flames was unhindered by gauze, and immediately appeared on little Cathy's arm, and there was no wind in the air.
After just a casual glance, Maca took the new gauze from Ron's hand and changed it without any medicine.
"It's a pity that although you are a very beautiful and knowledgeable young lady, you still have to listen to me when it comes to treatment." He chuckled and said, "Two more days!" If I don't see you tomorrow, I'll cry. β
"Oh-," said little Cathy, as if helplessly, "all right! That's for your sake...... Remember to bring me some sweet muffins for midday. β
"It's my pleasure, beautiful Cathy."
Maca lowered her bandaged arm and patted her hand on the back.
"Alright...... Ron, Harry, let's go to the next room. β
However, Maca, who had just left the room, did not continue to walk, but stood silently by the door. Even Ron and Harry didn't need to be greeted by him, and they followed him silently pushing the cart and waiting by the wall.
However, compared to Maca's calmness, their expressions seemed to be a little more gloomy.
A moment later, the door to the ward was opened again, and a slightly emaciated figure slowly walked out.
"Mr. McLean......"
"Hello, Mrs. Pierce."
Maca turned and nodded at the lady, with his usual peaceful smile on her face.
"Hello," said Mrs. Pierce, a little tiredly, "thank you, Mr. McLean...... Cathy has been really happy these days, it's all thanks to you, I really don't know how to thank you......"
"Just pay a little more for treatment."
This little joke of Maca made even Mrs. Pierce, who was full of tiredness, laugh at it. And from her smile, it can be seen that this lady, who has been getting more and more thin and old recently, should have been a very beautiful woman.
"Thank you," she couldn't help but say after expressing her gratitude again, "Seriously, I've been worried about little Cathy...... I don't even know what to do, really......"
Before she could say a few words, she began to choke again, which showed that her heart was already a little broken by some pressure.
In this regard, to be honest, Maca can't easily let her go.
It is a matter of flesh and blood, and Mrs. Pierce's sadness is really helpless. Regardless, he kept the smile on his face as much as he could.
You can't just know how to make a bitter face like Ron and Harry, right?
"Don't think too much about it, Mrs. Pierce...... I'm not really a therapist, but I'll do my best. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up, but sometimes we need to let ourselves relax......"
"You know, if you always frown, luck doesn't befall people who look too ugly."
After hearing Maca's words, the frown between her eyebrows finally stretched slightly.
"Yes, oh...... I saw ...... in the bathroom this morning," said Mrs. Pierce, "and I would never have imagined that I would have been what I am before...... I hope little Cathy won't dislike her mother for being too ugly. β
"She's sensible, isn't she? Even she thinks she's matureβ" Maka said this, and then stretched out her hand and gestured, "Please! Mrs. Pierce, don't keep Cathy waiting too long! β
"Okay, I'm sorry for you today."
Harry and Ron glanced at each other as they walked side by side with Maka and Mrs. Pierce on their way to the other end of the hallway, before they both sighed and pushed the cart and hurriedly followed.
"I don't know how long it will be ......"
"Yes, poor little Cathy."
