I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.
It was an amazing week for my husband and me ——the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my1 to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to look after our two children and started off.
During the week's time, we visited London and Paris ——as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful 2we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.
On our last night in Paris, after we enjoyed the night view of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother3the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something4 happened.
“What's wrong?” I asked.
He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said5to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and 6 his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.
At that moment, Paris 7lost its charm(魅力).
“I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home with my kids!”
We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …
Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no 8 sight in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.
