Chapter 842: Sister Can Do It, So Can I!
Emma kicked the door open and entered. She said excitedly, “Mia? You’re awake! Let’s go! Let’s go swimming!”
Amelia quickly changed into her swimsuit and rushed out with Emma like a little mermaid with a bucket. Alex followed behind them leisurely, his hands in his pockets. He watched Emma and Amelia run to the beach and write and draw on the sand before being swept away by the waves. Then, they splashed into the sea to swim. This weather was still a little cold. Rainbow Island was about fifteen degrees. Amelia was fine thanks to her training, but Emma was not. After splashing for a while, she ran up and shivered from the cold.
“Cold as a dog,” Emma sniffed.
Mrs. Walton rushed over with a thick towel and wrapped it around Emma as she scolded, “Even dogs aren’t as stupid as you. Do you think you’re Mia in such a cold weather…”
In the distance, Amelia was still splashing in the water. General and Guard were guarding her from the front and back. When they saw her swimming out a little too far, they pulled her back.
Emma was unconvinced. “If my sister can do it, so can I!”
Mrs. Walton glanced at her. “You really can’t.”
Emma sneezed. “Forget it. I’ll go on a roller coaster, a big pendulum, a bungee machine…”
Mrs. Walton refused without thinking. “No!”
Emma said, “Why?”
Mrs. Walton sighed. “I’m afraid your brains will fall out.”
Emma:
This time, there was no annoying Lace and her daughter. Amelia’s birthday party was very grand.
Amelia had never celebrated her birthday by the sea. Her father was by her side, her grandparents were by her side, and her uncles were also by her side. There were also her brothers and sisters, her favorite pets, and many other children. They all told her happy birthday happily and were very envious that she could celebrate her birthday for two days. There were songs and dances on the beach. Someone was playing and singing with a guitar. The sea breeze was a little cold, but people’s enthusiasm did not decrease at all.
Amelia was so happy that she played until late at night before reluctantly going to bed. When she fell asleep, she was still smiling sweetly.
Alex stroked her soft hair and said in a low voice, “Mia, happy five years old.” He placed a small gift on the head of her bed. Looking around, her room was filled with gifts. The gift boxes were all from her grandparents, uncles, and brothers. Some were in loose packages. There were a bunch of flowers or brightly colored seashells, and beautiful hair clips. They were all given by the children who came to the birthday banquet.
George stood at the door and looked silently at Amelia, who was sleeping. Everyone said that Mia was very happy. She was indeed very happy, but what others could not see was the responsibility and pressure behind her.
Alex closed the door. They had booked a suite. One suite had three bedrooms and two living rooms. Amelia was staying in one, so Alex naturally had to stay in one. The last was occupied by Emma. After two days, they had only held a beach birthday party and had not really gone to the amusement park on Rainbow Island.
The amusement park was quiet late at night. Suddenly, a seesaw moved on its own. Creak, creak… In this quiet late night, this sudden sound was especially strange.
“Hehehe…” Amidst the dead silence, there was a faint laughter and singing. “The stars in the sky blink. There’s a rag doll by the roadside. A rag doll, a rag doll. It’s late at night. Why don’t you go home? Do you not have a home? A rag doll, a rag doll. Don’t be sad or afraid. Let me lend you half of my mother…”
Under the street lamp, a strange rag doll appeared! It leaned against the street lamp and tilted its head. Its eyeballs seemed to be like a real person’s eyes as it stared ahead.
Amelia, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes.
Elmer floated cross-legged by the bed and stared in the direction of the amusement park in the distance. “You’re awake?” He pointed outside. “I didn’t expect there to be ghosts on this island.”
Amelia nodded and got out of bed barefoot. She ran to Alex’s room. “Daddy…”
Alex suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. “Mia?”
Amelia shushed him. “Daddy, did you hear anyone singing?”
Alex frowned and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly narrowed. He could not hear the song, but he could vaguely hear music coming from the amusement park. It was the music of the carousel!
“Over at the amusement park?” In the middle of the night, Alex felt a chill run down his spine.
