"Wow! My cute baby is finally awake. I almost thought you turned to sleeping beauty who needed her Prince Charming to kiss her before she wakes up," Yang Zi teased as she hugged the sitting Yang Mi. She used the fantasy movie sleeping beauty to tease her because the cartoon was Yang Mi's favourite one.

"Even though I was sleeping beauty, I don't need a Prince Charming to kiss me to wake me up. All I need is my mummy and mum right by my side then the magic will work," Yang Mi replied smiling. She had missed Yang Zi so much, she refused to let go of her.

​​

"That is so sweet of you baby," Yang Zi said patting her back.

"Mi Er, I know you missed your elder sister so much, but let go of her now. People are staring at you and your sister is recuperating too. She might pass out if you don't let go of her," Mrs Yang exaggerated. She knew very well that Yang Mi will not let go of Yang Zi if she did not tell her that Yang Zi was ill. Yang Mi immediately pulled out of her embrace and shifted a bit for Yang Zi to sit beside her.

"Mum, you are ill again? Is it because of the heavy rainfall last night?" Yang Mi asked, touching Yang Zi's face. She was little, but she wasn't foolish. Although she didn't know the details, she knew that her beloved sister always fell ill whenever it rained. During that time, her mummy always prohibited from going into Yang Zi's room. She loved her sister so much, she always felt terrible to see her hurt.

"Hmmm, our Mi Er is now mature, she is worried about me," Yang Zi teased. Her sudden diversion showed she did not want to answer Yang Mi's question.

"Of course she is. She has been learning how to draw. She wants to give you a portrait as your birthday present," Mrs Yang said, smiling. "Oops! That was supposed to be a surprise right?" Mrs Yang said playfully seeing Yang Mi frown because her mummy discloses her secret.

"Wow! Is that true? If that is the case then I can't wait for my birthday to come," Yang Zi said hugging Yang Mi.

"Mummy, how could you tell her about it? It was supposed to be a secret but now you ruined my surprise," Yang Mi said displeased. In her little mind she already figured out how she would present her gifts to her sister, but now her surprise was ruined.

"Mum, did you say anything? I didn't hear what mum said, so you don't have to look so upset. And why on earth are we even talking about my birthday when we should be talking about yours, which is in fours days," Yang Zi said, tickling her.

"Stop it, stop it please," Yang Mi begged when she could not handle all her tickles anymore. Yang Zi stopped when she begged.

"You are right, but did she tell you she has changed her mind about celebrating it?" Mrs Yang asked, watching her two beautiful daughters act so naughty.

"She is not celebrating it? Why?" Yang Zi asked calmly. Yang Mi always celebrated her birthday, so she was shocked to hear that she changed her mind about it.

"She says she wants to spend the day with the two most important people in her life," Mrs Yang relayed.

"Mi Er, are you sure you don't want to celebrate your birthday?" Yang Zi asked. Her voice was mellow and filled with concern.

"Hmmm, celebrating my birthday always takes much of my time. I don't really get to spend time with you and mummy. I want this birthday to be special so I am spending it with the both of you but godmother and godfather are free to come," Yang Mi said smiling. Mrs Yang's reaction was exactly like that of Yang Zi when Yang Mi told her about her new plans. She was surprised.

"Ok, if that is what you want and as always don't forget to write the lists of things you want to do for your birthday. Mum and I will fulfil all of them like we normally do," Yang Zi said, parting her patting hair.

"I have already done that. Mum, you must not go back on your words Ok, you and mummy will do whatever I want. You have already promised me that Ok," Yang Mi said, trying to make sure they will fulfil all her wishes.

"Has mummy ever gone back on her words?" Mrs Yang asked, pinching her cheeks gently.

"Of course not. Mummy is the best. She always keeps her words," Yang Mi said, laughing. They played and talked for a long time before Yang Mi ate her lunch. She went back to sleep after the doctor checked on her. This time around she didn't sleep for a long time, she woke up two hours later. Her pale face looked refined and bright.

"My sleeping beauty is awake," Mrs Yang joked. She helped her sit up properly.

"Mummy, when are we going home?" Yang Mi asked, staring at her mummy cutely.

"You exposed yourself to the freezing breeze for a long time so the doctor says you have to stay here for at least two days. That is your punishment for leaving your windows open when it was raining outside," Mrs Yang said. She was so worried about Yang Zi last night that she forgot to check up on Yang Mi. She was so scared when she saw her girl shivering with no blankets on when she entered her room. Her windows were also wide open.

Yang Mi's bright expression changed when she heard what her mummy said. She wasn't pleased with the recent development.

"But I am Ok. I don't feel sick at all, so I want to go home. Mummy, please let's go home, hmm?" Yang Mi pleaded giving her mummy her most adorable expression.

"You know that is not possible. You know mummy feels heartbroken whenever she sees you or your sister ill so you have to stay and receive treatments per the doctor's instructions Ok?" Mrs Yang said caressing her face.

"Sister Zi Er despised being in the hospital so I don't want her to get sick because of me. I am Ok mummy. I promise I will take my pills without being forced to, so mummy let's go home, Ok?" Yang Mi said shaking her mummy's hand pleadingly.

"Sister Zi Er, please help me talk to mummy, hmm," Yang Mi moved onto persuading Yang Zi when she saw that her mum will not agree to her demands.
