66 Parents

Next day came and Callista will finally be discharge. Her fever didn't come back and she's now stable.

"I'm reminding you again about your medicines and check ups! If you ever forget one of my reminders, I swear I'll sell you out to father!" It was Tyler who keeps on rattling and reminding Callista about her health.

She was left with him for a little while her hubby went out to talk with Dr. Li Zhao

"I know! I know! You already said that many times and stop nagging at me, I'm not a child anymore!" Callista frowned and cross her arms.

Her ears started to hurt from his nagging the moment he came in, but still she felt warm in her heart and happy even if he could be a little annoying.

Tyler just ruffled Callista's hair from her response and started pinching her cheeks.

"I'm your Big Brother and you'll always be my little sister you brat!"

"Aish! Stop pinching my cheeks! It hurts and I'm not a brat you are!" Callista said while trying to remove both of his hands away from her face.

"Tyler and Callista, why are you always fighting when your together?" They heard a sudden sweet and calm voice from a woman, thus the both of them look and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Auntie and Uncle!"

"Tyler, you're a doctor. Why are you fighting with your sister when she's a patient" It was Tyler's dad who spoke thus Tyler let go of Callista's cheek he was pinching.

She just look at the two person who just enter, they are just like what's recorded in her memory.

Tyler's foster parents, his mom is wearing a simple, not too curvy cream floral dress in a low-heel open toe shoes and only a ring as her accesories while her hair was simply tied into a bun.

Michelle Sanders, a very sweet and kind mother. It's because that she can't bear a child that she decided to adopt one which is now Tyler.

Wendelle Sanders, he may look very stern and rough on the outside but actually he had a very soft heart like Tyler's mother.

One thing she like about this two people was how they treated Callista. Even if they have adopted Tyler they never forgot his little sister from the orphanage and thus treating her also like their own daughter.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here? How'd you find out I was here?"

"You haven't been home for days, so we just visited and the nurse told us that Callista is here. How come you didn't tell us she was here? Oh my poor child, tell Auntie did your brother treated you well?" Michelle was roughly talking to Tyler but then she suddenly became sweet and move forward to Callista's side.

Callista just smile, then acted pitifully and hold on to her hands.

"Auntie, Big brother was now just being rough to me! You see earlier how he pinch me! Look at my cheeks, it's still hurting!" Callista's cheek turned red from his pinching and can't help but rub it while Tyler's lips twitch from her sudden act, while Michelle glared at Tyler.

"Mom! Don't side with her! It's her fault that she's here, she forget all my reminders about her check ups and taking her medicine!" Tyler quickly said and pointed Callista who is now acting pitifully.

"Aiya, My poor Cally! It's still your fault, you didn't remind her very well!" Michelle said and hug Callista like she was a mother hen protecting her little chick.

Tyler was on the verge of having a mental breakdrown. He is a psychologist, why is he the one having a mental breakdrown? Why was it is his fault again?

He could only helplessly sigh while Callista stick out her tongue at him then hug back Michelle.

Tyler was now questioning if they pick out the wrong person for adoption.

"Alright stop this now. Atleast Callista is looking fine. How is she now?" Wendelle said before this mother and child fight like kids. Wendelle just slowly shake his head and sigh.

"She's alright, for now. If she takes on her medicines regularly then I'll be fine without worrying about her to death" Tyler said answering his father's question. If he argued more with his mother, he will only be devastatedly defeated.

"Ohh, poor Cally. How about you went home with us? I promise that Auntie will took care of you, instead of living alone just move to our home" Michelle declared startling Tyler.

"Hmm. Yeah, you should listen to your Auntie." Wendelle seconded and started nodding like it's the best course of action.

"Hey! Why are you taking her home? She's already ma-" before Tyler could finish the word 'married' Callista glared at him deadly making the words coming out of his mouth be struck in his throat.

"Callista had a weak body constitution since childhood! You good-for-nothing brother always neglect her!"

"Mom! How could you talk to me like this?" Tyler argued but Michelle ignore him and look at her husband.

"Honey, did we get the wrong child for adoption? How come we didn't adopt Callista?"

Hearing this, Tyler felt he have been wronged!

Wrong adoption, my ass!

"You said you wanted a son so we decided to adopt Tyler"

"It isn't too late to change mind right? I want a daughter and it should be Callista!

"Honey, that Old Father won't let go of Callista"

"His a priest, he doesn't need any child"

Hearing his mother and father conversation, Tyler suddenly want to runaway.

Where is he? Why am I even here?

Where is the parents who love and dote on me?

Looking at this happy family in front her, Callista's heart suddenly ache.

This was her dream family, a mother who dotes and love her child, a father that listens to his wife while acting like a referee in this small little fights, a brother that still care for her no matter how hard headed and stubborn she was.

Even if Tyler's parent were like this in front her, she knew very well how the Sanders doted and love Tyler. They never treated Tyler like an adopted but rather like their true child.

It must be nice having a parents like this.

When she was in the organization, she did have a foster father but she was raised to be a weapon and a killer for the organization.

She always wonder what was her true identity? Why did her parents leave her in the orphanage? Didn't they want her and just abandoned her?

She had countless thoughts but only her true parents could answer that which she never knew.

For the real Callista, she wasn't abandoned like her but rather suffer from family issues according to the trauma she had saw.

But then, she also had a family that receive her as well as loves her no matter what kind of origins she had. She was well surrounded by good and kind people around her.

She can tell that she was very blessed in life and she got to live this life for both their sake.

It's quite frustrating that she wasn't even the real Callista but just a piece of soul who was afraid to be taken by death yet she was happy that she get to live this life like how she wanted and dream it to be.

Twenty fours year of living, it was at this time that she felt truly happy and wasn't tied by the shackles of the merciless organization and far from their ruthlessness and diabolical ways.

Somehow, this people around her made her feel truly alive and warm.
