Although she really didn''t want to interact with ire, nor did she want Emmett to have anything to do with her, Emmett had the right to meet his birth mother.


    She wasn''t in favor of Emmett going to see her, but if Emmett brought it up, she wouldn''t refuse.


    A momentter, Elysia took Emmett to the front of Maria''s hospital room.


    Blossom and Evan came along as well.


    When ire saw them, she was equally stunned, especially at the sight of Emmett!


    She never imagined Emmett woulde to find her on his own.


    Tears welled up in ire''s eyes, her voice choked up, "Emmett."


    She thought Emmett wasing to acknowledge their rtionship and reached out to embrace him.


    Emmett quickly clung to Elysia''s neck, looking at her anxiously.


    ire''s eyes filled with tears, "Emmett, I''m your mom, honey."


    Emmett looked uneasy, "..."


    ire, heartbroken, continued, "Emmett, I''m the one who gave birth to you, I''m your mom, I..."


    "Mommy." A weak voice came from inside the room.


    ire quickly wiped away her tears, "Emmett, go see your sister first, this is your biological sister."


    Emmett nced into the room.


    Elysia carried Emmett closer to the bedside, where Emmett stood curiously looking at Maria.


    Evan was also curious; although he wasn''t fond of Emmett''s dad and mom, he felt no aversion towards Emmett''s sister.


    He treated Emmett like a real brother, so Emmett''s sister was his sister too!


    The little girl looked back at them curiously, her eyes bright despite her frail body.


    ire quickly introduced them, "Maria, this is your brother, your real brother, he''se back."


    Maria looked at Emmett with surprise in her eyes, "Brother?"


    Facing Maria, Emmett wasn''t as nervous, more joyful, "Sister."


    Maria was thrilled, holding an old teddy bear by her bed, one of her few toys.


    She struggled to lift her hand, offering the teddy bear to Emmett, "For you."


    Emmett quickly epted it, "Thank you, sister."


    He rummaged through his small backpack for a while, unable to find a suitable gift


    in return, a bit embarrassed,


    "I... I''ll bring you a gift tomorrow, sister."


    Maria smiled, "Okay."


    Emmett also smiled back, "..."


    The world of children isn''t asplicated as that of adults;


    there''s only the surprise and


    of


    siblings meeting for the first time.


    Suddenly, ire turned and left the room.


    Standing outside the door, she covered her mouth and began to sob.


    It had been a long time since her daughter had smiled.


    Warm moments had been rare in her lifetely.


    When Emmett came out of the room and saw ire crying, he handed her a tissue.


    ire was incredibly touched, "Emmett..."


    From his backpack, Emmett took out a card and handed it to her, his voice soft and childish,


    "My mommy says we should be


    grateful. Thank you for giving birth to me you''ve worked hard. This is all


    my allowance, I''m giving it to you."


    Emmett''s manner was polite yet distant.


    Blossom and Elysia stood at the doorway, only now understanding why Emmett had taken the initiative to find ire.


    He was acknowledging the debt of birth.


    The debt of birth cannot be measured in money, but Emmett didn''t understand


    that.


    His thinking wasn''t as mature as Elliot, Evan, or Elijah; he was still a child at heart.


    In his eyes, Elysia was his mommy.


    Yet, Emmett was kind-hearted and felt gratitude towards his birth mother.


    Unsure of how else to repay this


    debt, and


    knowing his birteet


    needed money, he decided


    all he had. Content beto


    This was his way of thanking her for the gift of life.
