As she was speaking, a young nurse pushed the door open and came in, carrying a small, beautiful cake. She smiled at Catherine and said,
"Miss Channing, happy birthday! Your mother asked us to order this cake for you yesterday."
Catherine's tears were threatening to fall, moved both by Renata's thoughtfulness and by the sincere gesture of the nurses.
She stepped forward to take the cake and thanked them, deeply touched,
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After completing her task, the young nurse excused herself,
"Go ahead and enjoy the cake with your mother."
Then she turned and left.
Catherine felt warmth in her heart. Although her life had lacked a father's love, Renata had always filled her heart with warmth, which was why Catherine had remained kind and gentle over the years.
A heart full of love naturally gives love to others.
Renata was still weak, so Catherine helped her sit up on the bed and then opened the cake.
