Chapter 67: Mysterious Call
Maxim took the order signed by the director and went home.
The light was on in her daughter Daria's house, and she didn't seem to be asleep yet, "I'll go see her", Maxim remembered the "bubble gum" that Leulon gave to his daughter, so he knocked on the door gently,
"You're back"? It was the daughter's nanny Lyudmila who walked out,
"Oh, Daria is alright? I have a gift for her",
"Well, she hasn't slept yet, come in", usually there is only one nanny and tutor in the family, because she lives here 24 hours a day, and has become a family.
On the bed in the house, her daughter Daria reclined there reading a book. The soft light illuminates her daughter's face, like a quiet goddess, which makes Maxim feel a touch of warmth,
"My dear, this is a gift from a Chinese friend, to you".
Maxim took out the "bubble gum" that Leulon gave him, and the red packaging seemed to attract his daughter at once,
'Well, I want, I like it', the daughter stretched out her hands and said these two stiff words, although there were not many words, but it was clear that Daria liked the bubblegum very much.
Maxim watched his daughter eagerly open the package, took out a piece of white bubble gum and put it in her mouth, and then chewed it vigorously, probably the sweetness of "bubble gum", which stimulated her taste buds, and her daughter's face showed a long-lost smile.
Daria chewed for a while, only to see her cheeks bulging, "fluttering" and blowing, and a huge white bubble immediately appeared on the side of her mouth.
As she blew harder and harder, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the almost transparent bubble burst, Daria ate the fragments of the bubble into her mouth, and chewed it hard, and after repeating it two or three times, it may be that her heart has been satisfied, and Daria is smiling, like a blooming "lily".
"Daddy, it's fun", the daughter was still a two-word blunt word, but hearing her daughter call "Daddy", Maxim's heart was greatly satisfied. When my daughter saw her before, she didn't say a word at all, it seems that she really likes this gift, and she actually called out the long-lost word "Dad". Of course, this is also the credit of the tutor Lyudmila.
"Thank you", Maxim thanked her,
'You're welcome, this is what I should do, and Miss really likes this gift',
"Well, it should be, children like to chew bubble gum, yes", Maxim took out a can of coffee from his bag, "This is the Brazilian coffee that the bureau gave me, it was given to you, take it home and give it to your parents to drink",
"Oh, thank you, I like it very much", I don't know what day it is, but I still have my own gift, the tutor is very happy.
"This, don't", Daria saw the coffee, shaking her head, she held up the bubble gum, "Bubbles, like",
"It's so easy to satisfy my daughter"? Maxim's eyes moistened.
He remembered Daria's illness, and felt very sorry in his heart, everything was his own fault, he failed to protect them properly, and gave the bandits a chance, "these damn guys", remembering that scene, his teeth gritted "clucking".
Maxim is the chief of the criminal department, and since he entered the police station, with his extraordinary intelligence, he has handled many big and important cases, and naturally offended many people. Among them was the leader of a gang of bandits, because he was imprisoned, in order to try to get the police station to release the boss, he took people and kidnapped Maxim's family.
He and his wife were locked up in different places. The daughter and the mother were together, the room was dark and cold, and the mother tried hard to give Dalia a little warmth, next to her daughter. Later, because of the twisting and twisting, the rope seemed to be a little loose. In the morning, when the crowd was unprepared, my mother secretly bit the rope that tied Dalia with her teeth, and when they ran out, they were discovered: "Dalia Run"! These were the last words the daughter heard from her mother. Mom's loud shouts are always imprinted in her mind!
The bandits chased after her, and in order to protect her daughter, the mother and the bandits fought, and the villains hit the mother on the head with a stick, and Daria watched the blood spurt out of her mother's head.
Looking at her mother who fell to the ground softly, Daria was scared silly, she collapsed to the ground, incontinent, and never spoke again!
After being rescued by the police station, Maxim only learned about these things later in his daughter's intermittent narration. Although in the end the bandits were brought to justice, the wife died and the daughter was paralyzed. Whenever he was alone in the lonely house, holding a photo of his wife, his face was full of tears, and he felt sorry for his wife and Daria from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps because he owed too much to his children, during that time, Maxim was at home every day with his children. Although Daria didn't speak, she always looked at the corner by herself. But with her father, she still felt a little safe. Therefore, he let the child's temperament go, and if he didn't want to go out, he wouldn't go out, and he wouldn't want to get up and lie on the bed, and over time he would be even more unable to walk!
After her daughter was paralyzed, she hid at home all day long, afraid to go out, unwilling to go out, and although she was repeatedly treated, she did not see any results.
Maybe it's because there are so few people in contact, so Daria stammers when she speaks.
When the doctor diagnosed the child, he looked at Daria's stupid expression and atrophied legs, and said that the child had cerebral palsy! This made Maxim completely hopeless.
Because she has been lying in bed for too long, she has caused severe muscle atrophy, and she has been unable to walk since then, and the more she doesn't walk, the more lazy she is to get out of bed.
After all, Maxim still has to work, and then he found a tutor to accompany the child, I don't know how much I changed before and after, many people can't stand Daria's lonely character, and when they lose their temper, they smash things and beat people, and they leave after a few days.
Only this nanny Lyudmila is really good, she treats Daria as her own child from her heart, and slowly her daughter's irritability decreases, and then she can barely say two words.
Because her father was not at home, Lyudmila became Daria's only relative, and she patiently took care of her daughter's daily life, although it was very effective, but she still could not get out of bed.
Looking at Daria's illness, he remembered what Chang Jianming said about his comrades-in-arms, "We must find him quickly and go to China for treatment"! Maxim made up his mind.
"Jingle bell", a phone ringing came.
He looked at the caller ID, the call was from China, and it was still the same number as last report.
"Who is this? What is he going to do?", the mysterious call evokes Maxim's infinite reverie.........
