Chapter 979 Little Cathy's Smile

Gently tear apart the soft and moist dough, squeeze in the delicate and smooth whipped cream, and finally spread a thick layer of strawberry jam... From the moment the dessert plate is placed in front of the two, there is a strong The sweet aroma of the sweetness hits the nostrils in an instant.

And when you put the freshly made sweet muffins into your mouth, the first bite is full of cream and strawberry jam pouring out from between the pancakes. What is evoked by the mild and sweet taste is undoubtedly an indescribable happiness.

It was only when Hermione and Luna recovered from the silence of enjoying desserts that Maca smiled and asked:

"how do you feel?"

"It's great! Maca, you should open a dessert shop in Diagon Alley. When I get a job after graduation, I'll eat there every day!"

Luna's reaction was as cheerful as ever. Seeing her talking, she stretched out her hand to the tray on the table, and Maca casually patted her "greedy claw" aside.

"The last one is reserved for others, so don't make plans with it." He said angrily.

"Oh--"

Although Luna obviously still wanted to eat, she still retracted her hand with regret.

Compared to the gluttonous Luna, Hermione was obviously much more reserved. I saw that she first looked down at the empty plate in front of her, and then said:

"Maca, this muffin is really good, did you make it?"

If so, then he is amazing - not only can he be a professor as a peer, but he can also be a temporary therapist at St. Mungo's, and now he can make such delicious desserts.

However--

"Well, is it really delicious? You can say that, it's really good..." Makalu smiled complacently, but finally spread his hands and said, "Of course, I didn't do this of!"

Seeing Maca's initial reaction, Hermione thought he did it! But who knew, Maka, who was still showing a smug smile in the first half of the sentence, suddenly denied her conjecture afterwards.

Then what are you still proud of there!

"Oh, but!" Maca continued abruptly, "Although I didn't do this, I found the person who made it... Hannah, come out with Neville too!"

After shouting back, he turned around again and said:

"I think you will be a little confused when I suddenly called you here today, right? Actually, it's like this..."

"Catherine Pierce, a young patient in the curse injury department, you also know about it? In fact, although everyone may not know it, today is actually her birthday..."

"Oh, you mean little Cathy?" Luna nodded immediately, "Birthday...a wonderful day."

Unlike Luna, who had been in charge of the patients on the second floor, Hermione knew the situation of the mother and daughter. Therefore, when she heard Maca mentioning this matter, her mood was obviously lowered.

After a short pause, she sighed softly and said:

"Then...do you want us to surprise little Cathy together? Well, it would be best if she could be happy."

"Hey, that's it." Maca pointed at her face and chuckled, "That's why I had to gather you here first——if you pass by with this face in a while, it won't be counted." It's a 'surprise'!"

"Ah!" Hermione touched her cheek subconsciously, "But... yes, I will pay attention."

Just as Hermione was trying to make herself look more cheerful, Hannah and Neville also walked over from the kitchen, and it could be seen that Neville was still holding another tray in his hand.

"I have to say, Hannah's craftsmanship is really good." Maca said immediately, "Especially the desserts, I think Little Cathy will like her birthday cake."

After exhorting them both, Maca finally took everyone out together.

On the other side of the corridor outside the restaurant, Harry and others were already waiting there.

"Everyone is here, let's go!"

...

"Click—"

There was the sound of the doorknob being turned on the other side of the door of the ward.

Cassie, who was sitting on the hospital bed flipping through magazines, suddenly looked up.

Just in time, she saw Maca coming in from the door.

"You're here!" She closed the magazine and said happily, "Where are the sweet muffins? Have you brought them?"

"Cathy!"

Mrs. Pierce, who was by the side, seemed to think it was impolite for her daughter to talk to Maca like this, but she really couldn't bear to blame her daughter, so she could only call her softly.

But just this soft call from her mother made little Cathy restrain herself subconsciously. Although the eyes she looked at Maca were still full of expectation and urging.

"It's all right, Mrs. Pierce."

Maca first smiled at his wife, then came to the end of Little Cathy's bed, and very ordinaryly handed a plate of butter and jam muffins to her.

"Eat it!"

"Eh--"

Little Cathy looked at the plate of muffins, secretly swallowed her saliva, but still elongated her voice and said awkwardly:

"Is there no more special way to say it? Treat me like a child again! Miss Ben is not someone who can be fooled so easily!"

From an angle that her daughter could not see, Mrs. Pierce gave Maca a wry smile very apologetically, but Maca naturally didn't care about Little Cathy's waywardness.

"Oh, my beautiful Cathy," he repeated with a smile, holding the plate in one hand, "I was being rude just now—then, please enjoy this plate of delicious muffins!"

"That's about the same!"

After Maca finished speaking, she immediately took the plate of muffins into her hand, picked it up and took a big bite without saying a word.

Seeing her daughter sticking the whipped cream to her face without realizing it, and still happily chewing the muffin, Mrs. Pierce couldn't help showing a touch of emotion.

"thanks."

She nodded to Maca again, mouth gestured to thank her, and immediately looked down at her daughter's face impatiently.

Maca didn't say anything more this time, he just stood quietly on the bed, smiling as he watched Little Cathy finish the muffin, and Mrs. Pierce gently wiped off the cream on her face.

"Well, it's very delicious," Little Cathy flipped her hair on the side of her ear, pretending to be elegant, "You can be proud of being praised by this lady, Maca! But you still have to remember , Next time I will bring an extra copy to my mother.”

"No, no, I don't have to—"

"As you order, my lady."

Maca didn't wait for Mrs. Pierce to finish speaking, and immediately gestured towards the door:

"If that's the case, don't wait until 'next time' - let's do it today!"

Before the words were finished, the door of the ward was opened from the outside, and Hermione and a group of friends rushed in from the outside. This originally spacious ward became crowded in an instant.

While both mother and daughter were in a daze, Maka seized the opportunity and said:

"By the way, one more thing..."

"Happy birthday to you, little Cathy!"

After being stunned for a long time as if frightened, Cathy on the hospital bed blinked her eyes, and said with a little reluctance:

"I... Just call me Cathy, I'm not young... Wait, how did you know my birthday? I don't remember telling you?"

At the same time as she said these words, her big bright eyes flickered faintly, and a moist brilliance seemed to flow from them.

After a while of commotion, Maca backed away a little, and made room for Neville, Hannah and the others who had already started making cakes at the front of the hospital bed.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the mother and daughter, the expression on his face didn't seem to have changed much.

"Maka, you don't seem to be very happy?"

Since little Cathy's hospital bed was surrounded by "ladies" at the moment, Ron and the others, who couldn't squeeze in, could only stand on Maca's side unknowingly.

Seeing Maca's seemingly invariable smile, Ron couldn't help asking.

Maca still shook her head.

"No, of course I'm happy," he said, "but...how should I put it? It's all to be expected...it's a planned joy."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked blankly, "You mean... this birthday celebration should be thought of by us, right? In that case, you should also be 'surprised', right?"

"It's not me—" Maca waved his hands, "What's the use of surprising me?"

After speaking, he chuckled again, and then said:

"I mean, little Cathy." He nodded his chin towards the hospital bed, "don't think that her usual appearance of a grown-up is just a child's play—seriously, she is more beautiful than you think. Much more mature!"

"Listen, what would you think if I told you that I already told her the truth?"

Maca's words made Harry and the others startled, and then an unbelievable expression appeared in those eyes.

"Really? You... She knows?" Ron was stunned, "But... oh! This really makes me a little unbelievable..."

However, Maca seemed to still not let go of their little hearts, and continued:

"Not only that, but she also knew about today's birthday celebration. In fact, it was something that she and I secretly discussed and decided... and after a while, Mrs. Pierce will tell little Cathy about the so-called 'Truth'."

"Of course, this point is not predetermined... I may need to push her again later."

But seeing them all stunned in place, Maca could only push them one by one.

"Come back to your senses, don't stay here in a daze," he reminded in a low voice, "The reason I'm telling you now is to remember to help take Hermione and the others out later—you understand, when necessary."

"Uh... oh."

Seeing that Ron and the others responded one by one, Maca turned his attention to the hospital bed again. In the crowd, little Cathy still smiled so sweetly.
