I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.   36   voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I thought that it was a wrong number. A short while later, the call came once again, so I   37   rudely, “You’ve dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up.

During the    38    days, I often got the    39   call. But I didn’t care much about it.

    Then one day she kept calling me,    40    I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so much    41   ! Mom said you were too busy to take care of me. But, dad, please    42    me again, OK?” It was     43    to refuse the innocent(天真的, 无邪的) ask. I made a    44    kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy…”

    Shortly after this, I became curious(好奇）about    45    had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have    46    you. My daughter has had bone cancer since she was born. And her father…died in a car    47    two weeks ago. I didn’t want to tell her the news. Poor baby. When she couldn’t    48    the painful chemotherapy(化疗), she would cry for her dad because her dad always    49    her. I really don’t know what to do, so I gave her a random(随意的) phone number…”

    “How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to ask.

“She has died. You   50    have kissed her on the phone, because she died with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone…”   Tears full of my eyes….
