A Star in the Night Sky Chapter 2

Lily swung her little legs, waiting for me to come home.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded.

The sky gradually darkened.

Reasonably speaking, I should have been back long ago.

Because Lily is afraid of the dark.

But I was already dead.

My colleague just received the notification of my failed resuscitation at the hospital.

And was about to notify my family.

But opening my phone, she found the family column in my contacts was empty.

However, they knew I had a child.

So, the phone at home rang that night.

Lily ran towards the phone with her short legs.

"Hello."

The childish voice made my colleague's eyes misty.

She didn't know how to explain to a little girl that her mother was dead.

And wouldn't come back again.

"Is it mommy?"

Lily's voice carried excitement.

"Are you working overtime again? It's okay, Lily is fine, not hungry at all. Lily just ate the bread mommy bought."

Saying that, she patted her round belly.

"Lily, your mom just passed away."

Lily asked in confusion:

"Where did she go? But it's okay, mommy will definitely take Lily with her."

Once before, due to work arrangements, I went on a business trip to a neighboring state.

Worried about leaving Lily alone at home.

I took her with me.

That was Lily's first long trip. Sitting on the train, she pointed at the scenery outside the window excitedly.

So now Lily still thought I just went on a business trip somewhere.

After hearing this, my colleague sighed.

Didn't know what else to say.

Could only hang up the phone.

Finally, she represented the company to send my body for cremation.

I was left with only an urn of ashes.
