If nothing else, there will be no surprises this time.

After all, the child was shown the scene of his mother working in advance. Sakuragawa Coco was a sensible child, and Futaba Cheng thought she would be able to understand his mother's heart.

"Puff!" A rapid knock on the door sounded not far away.

Futaba Cheng and the others looked at each other and their eyes lit up.

Coming.

"Turn off the lights, turn off the lights, and hide." Futaba Makoto hurriedly told everyone - everyone was hiding, planning to surprise Cocoa-chan in a secret corner.

After seeing that preparations were almost complete, Futaba Cheng coughed, then walked to the door and opened the door:

"Welcome back, Cocoa-chan."

What caught my eye was not that petite figure, but the rice field aunt who lived nearby.

"No, it's not good, Mr. Cheng, something happened to your child!" The anxious voice made everyone present, including those hiding in the dark, visibly stunned.

I saw Lily Sakuragawa rushing out from the darkness, grabbing Aunt Inada's hand and asking excitedly: "Well, what happened to my daughter?!"

"F-daughter?!"

"Yes, I am her mother!" Lily Sakuragawa asked, "What's going on?! Please, tell me the situation."

"Ah... that child fell into the river, right at the intersection of the street. We are trying to save him." Before Aunt Inada could finish her words, Lily Sakuragawa rushed out——

"Hold on, Ms. Sakuragawa, wait for us."

Futaba Cheng and the others quickly changed their shoes and ran out.

Aunt Paddy stood there, stunned for a moment.

"Coco, why is this happening? Don't let anything happen to you!" Lily Sakuragawa's heart was already in her throat. She was extremely worried about her daughter.

Because of what happened to her, young Sakuragawa Lily thought about committing suicide for a while, but she knew that the child was innocent... What's more, she was still her own child.

After Coco was born, Lily Sakuragawa went through a period of confusion and gradually adapted to her identity as a mother. In the end, she regarded her only daughter as the driving force for her life.

That childish face, learning to call mother for the first time, and that little hand holding his fingers hard.

If it weren't for Coco, she might never be able to get out of the shadows in her life.

Please Coco.

Please, Lord Kami.

Don't let anything happen...

At this time, at the intersection of Meilin Street, there was a group of people gathered by the river. They were all familiar faces from nearby shops. They seemed to be checking something at this time.

Lily Sakuragawa rushed into the crowd and shouted: "Coco!"

Everyone was very surprised when they saw Lily Sakuragawa rushing in, and subconsciously moved away.

"Don't be afraid, mom is here!"

Sakuragawa Lily shouted, relying on the strength she didn't know where to come from, she squeezed to the front with her short body!

"cocoa!"

When she took a closer look, she was stunned.

At this time, Futaba Cheng and the others followed closely behind, and when they saw the scene on the ground, they were also slightly stunned.

At this time, he was lying on the ground.

yes--

"Meow?"

A wet gray fat cat.

"Eh, cat?" Lily Sakuragawa was stunned, and then subconsciously looked towards the river, only to find that there was nothing, and everyone's attention was obviously focused on the cat.

At this time, someone was squatting down with a towel to wipe the cat's hair. Seeing Lily Sakuragawa's excited expression just now, she blinked without reacting.

Gu Chuan

"Um, that child refers to Merlin?" Futaba Cheng scratched his head at this time and seemed to have come to his senses.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding?

Indeed, Merlin is indeed a child of the Futaba family.

"Ah, Brother Cheng, you came just in time, Merlin just fell into the water." At this time, the person who was wiping Merlin's hair was a girl living on the street. After seeing Futaba Cheng, she smiled and said, "But it's already

It’s okay, Uncle Gangtian just jumped into the river and picked it up.”

At this time, in the crowd, a bald man raised his thumb and showed his white teeth: "Oh!"

"So that's it." Futaba Cheng and the others were relieved. In any case, Cocoa-chan and Merlin were fine.

At this time, Sakuragawa Lily was also kneeling on the ground with her legs weak, clutching her chest tightly, "It's so, so good."

"Mom?" At this time, a familiar voice sounded from the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads and discovered that among the crowd of onlookers was Coco Sakuragawa, who had just returned. At this time, her little face wearing glasses seemed a little surprised.

The next second, Lily Sakuragawa rushed over and hugged Coco Sakuragawa, hugging her tightly as if she had exhausted all her strength.

"Mom, mom?! You are so strong."

"Well, after all, your mother was worried to death just now." After Futaba Makoto picked up Merlin from the ground, he smiled at Sakuragawa Coco and said, "Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, it was Merlin who fell into the water."

"Nya Nei?" Merlin in his arms showed a question mark on his face.

Doesn’t your conscience hurt?jpg

"I'm fine. Mom said you should pay attention to safety when you go home alone." Sakuragawa Coco said with a smile.

Suddenly, she felt her cheeks were wet.

Sakuragawa Coco was stunned for a moment: "Mom?"

"That's good, it's okay." Lily Sakuragawa began to cry at this time, "Coco, mom can't live without you."

At this time, Lily Sakuragawa was crying like a child, and her fragile side was clearly revealed in front of her daughter.

Perhaps, at her age, crying when something like this happens is more like what she should be doing.

"Hey, yo, don't cry, there are so many people." Coco Sakuragawa acted like a little adult, constantly coaxing her mother, but because of Lily Sakuragawa's appearance, which looked like a primary school student, at this time

On the contrary, the scene has a visual sense of an elder sister comforting her younger sister.

Lily Sakurakawa rubbed her eyes, but her eyes still couldn't stop falling: "Because, because... Mom is really worried about you. You are alone and no one can protect you."

"I'm also worried that you will be bullied in school, and that you will be kidnapped by bad guys on the way home, but I can't do anything about it."

As if being amused by Lily Sakuragawa's casual thoughts, Coco Sakuragawa touched her mother's head: "It's okay, Yuko will protect me, and everyone."

"Everyone on this street is a good person."

"That's right, leave it to me, auntie!" Yuko on the side also patted her chest and said.

Lily Sakuragawa's eyes were filled with tears, and then she wiped her tears with her sleeves and sniffed: "Well, I let my daughter see the ugly side. Sure enough, I am not a competent mother."

"No, no, no." Coco Sakuragawa shook her head and smiled sweetly, "Mom is a competent mother, because Coco..."

"I like momma the most."

Lily Sakuragawa was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she cried like a child and hugged her daughter: "Coco~"

"Okay, okay, don't cry, mom."

"Can't stop~"

Futaba Cheng and the others, who were watching this scene, looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's not a bad ending." Futaba Cheng smiled. The mother and daughter probably didn't need this birthday party.

"That's right." said morning Nana next to her.

Having said that...

Futaba Cheng looked at the cat in his arms.
