anymore. Susanne suffered very serious injuries, and so did Anastasia. "Lilly's voice fell and she cleared her throat. So the Alexander Uprising and got something to drink. "Have a drink here."
"Thanks." She took the glass and took a sip. "The next day I visited them both. Anastasia had complicated fractures and internal injuries, but she was over the hill.But her mother was still in mortal danger.
I then visited them again and again, actually every day. I saw how Anastasia got better and better and how her mother got weaker and weaker. But we became friends anyway, so I found out that Anastasia only had Susanne, no other relatives. "Lilly paused again and took a sip to drink.
"Susanne knew that she was going to die and was worried about Anastasia because she would be all alone in the world. That's why she asked me if I could adopt Anastasia. I love Anastasia and that's why I said yes. Yesterday I signed all the papers "She's officially my daughter now." Lilly held the glass so tightly that her hand cramped. Alexander took it from her and put it on the table, then took her very tightly in his arms.
"How is Anastasia's mother doing?"
"She will die in the next few days. She said so and the doctors can't do anything for her other than relieve her pain.""I'm so sorry, Lilly."
"That's not your fault."
"And what is Anastasia to me?"
"It will be out soon. On Thursday, February 28th, the time has come."
"And what is she like? How old is she?"
"She is six years old and wonderful." She smiled dreamily, "She loves your art. Your pictures, I showed them to her when I found out that you would come back. She fell in love with her straight away. Then she asked me if you could paint her a picture too. "A tear streamed down her face and a second followed the first. "I asked her if she didn't have another wish, if everything went well. She just said that her mother couldn't live anymore, she wanted to go to papa and it was okay, because she had me. But she just made a wish a picture. A picture of you. It's her only wish. "Alexander pulled her close and rocked her back and forth.
"Do you have a photo of Susanne?" he asked softly and noticed how Lilly nodded slightly.
"Here?" again he felt a nod."Then give it to me and lie down a bit. We'll go to the hospital together tomorrow, then I'll meet the bravest girl there is." He kissed her on the forehead.
“The photo is in my wallet.” Her tears had run dry, her voice was just a whisper and the next moment she fell asleep. Alexander picked her up and smiled as she snuggled up against him. "Sleep my angel."
He carried her up the stairs and put her on the bed, covered her up, and then took her wallet with the photo. He smiled again when he found not only a photo of Susanne, but also one of him. He took Susanne's photo and began to draw it.
He drew for three hours until he had captured Anastasia's mother and Lilly together as an angel on paper. Then he puts his signature underneath and wrapped it as a gift. He had granted a little girl's wish. Alexander smiled and only now noticed how tired he was.He quietly entered his bedroom where Lilly was sleeping. He looked down at her. “You can't sleep in that dress all the time,” he whispered, pulling out one of his t-shirt.
"I hope you won't be angry with me afterwards," he muttered and began to take off her dress and put on his t-shirt. She sighed softly and mumbled something, then opened her eyes dreamily.
"Alex?" she asked softly and sat up smiling.
“Go back to sleep, my angel.” He pushed her back into the pillows and covered her.
"And you? Where do you sleep?"
“I'm sleeping on the sofa.” He kissed her on the forehead and wanted to leave, but she held his hand. "You can sleep here. We can share the bed like we used to."
"Lilly, I don't think so. We are adults and no longer young people. It's different." But he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Please hold me in your arms. I missed that so much," she whispered and then fell asleep again.Alexander looked down at her and then lay down next to her. When he put his arm around her, she sighed and snuggled close to him. Soon the two slept closely embraced, like two lovers.
