In Lukas's life, there are three profound regrets that weigh heavily on his heart. Firstly, he concealed the truth for his sister, who caused a car accident resulting in your mother’s tragic demise.
Secondly, his arrival to your side came belatedly. Lukas held hope that the substantial compensation he provided would pave the way for your bright future. Yet, he hadn’t anticipated the depth of your sorrow, leading to mental distress and confinement in a lunatic asylum.
Thirdly, the anguish of being unable to save your kitten in time, left it beaten and beyond saving.
Lukas found you sitting in the rain, cradling the lifeless kitten in your arms. Witnessing your profound pain seemed to shatter his own heart. Lukas understood the significance of the kitten to you. His once bright eyes were now as gloomy as ashes when he saw you refused to bury your kitten and accept that it was gone.
Lukas wrapped his arms around you, wanting to use his warmth to thaw your coldness. In a hoarse and choked voice, he began to tell a fairy tale.
"Once upon a time..."
Lukas wove a narrative where life is not merely created or destroyed, but transforms from one form to another. Just like the story he told you, in which the protagonist's cat was reincarnated into a splendid flower.
"So…so please let this kitten rest in peace. Saying goodbye to those we love can be difficult, but remember that animals, just like us, have an amazing ability to transcend death and find new life. Rest assured that one day your kitten will return to you in a different form."
As you reluctantly released your grasp, Lukas exhaled a sigh of relief. Exhausted from the prolonged downpour, you quickly fell asleep, unable to await the emergence of a flower upon your kitten's resting place.
The next morning, you awaken to a breathtaking sight. The hospital's garden teems with sunflowers, embodying hope and everlasting happiness. Lukas secretly planted them over night, making your fairy tale come true.
