Come on Daddy!

"Ah..." Rose woke up with a start.

When she opened her eyes, her fair forehead was covered with sweat, her chest heaved and her breathing was heavy.

Rose looked out of the window. It was already dawn.

She sat up, feeling frightened. The dream was so real that it made her feel terrible when she woke up, as if she were still trapped in the same nightmare.

Bright wouldn't forgive her... She knew that no man wouldn't give her a chance, let alone Bright.

She felt timid to face him more and more.

Rose looked at Doris beside her. She opened her eyes, too. The black and white eyes stared at her, "Mom, did you have a nightmare?"

"Baby, did I wake you? I'm sorry." Rose took two deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Don't be afraid, Mom. Doris and Daddy are here, we'll protect you." Doris stood up and hugged Rose, and gently patted her on the back. "It's just a dream, don't be afraid..."

Rose hugged Doris and said, "Mom is not afraid with you here."

And then Rose and Doris got up. Grandpa had warmed the breakfast in the wok.

There were steamed buns, millet gruel, dried radish... The smell of the food aroused their appetite.

Rose and Doris ate contentedly and cleaned up after the meal.

"Mom, let's go find grandpa." Doris helped her mother to dry the dishes.

"Good." Rose nodded. "Let's help Grandpa plant the vegetables."
