Proposal (1)

Mike looked at the panicked Melanda and felt his heart ache.

"Baby, let's go back to sleep. You need to rest."

Melanda nodded and they went back to the room. Annie went back too. Melanda laid her head on Mike's arm and hugged him tightly. She only felt safe in Mike's arms.

After a while, she fell asleep.

The next day, when Melanda woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Nothing seemed to have happened. What greeted her was Millie's innocent smile. She seemed to have been waiting for her mother to wake up. When she saw her mother open her eyes, she immediately shouted happily,

"Mom, you're finally awake! I was afraid you would continue sleeping, but Dad didn't let me disturb you."

"Good morning, my sweetheart." Melanda pulled Millie over and kissed her.

"Mom, get up quickly. I finished breakfast. I'll tell Dad you're awake!" Millie ran out.
