The nurse gently wrapped tape around Emery’s arm and lightly
applied iodine.
Bethany was afraid of Emery being afraid of pain, even if her
heart was bleeding, she still subconsciously wanted to hold
Emery.
Emery pushed her away disdainfully, “I have grown up, I am a
man now, I am not afraid of injections, stop treating me like a
child.”
The nurse saw Emery being so brave and praised him, “Emery is
really brave”
When the nurse inserted the needle, Emery still frowned from
the cold, but he clenched his teeth tightly, not making a sound.
Bethany was his mother, who took care of him for a whole six
years, so how could she not know that he was trying to be
strong.
After the needle was inserted, the nurse applied adhesive tape.
Emery proudly said, “I told you I grew up, I’m not afraid of pain.”
Chapter 3
The nurse taped the needle securely, reached out and touched
Emery’s head.
“Yeah, Emery was great. Last time when we were at a family
gathering, he was still being coddled by mom.”
Upon hearing this sentence, Emery felt a bit sorry for his
mother as he had previously told the nurse that Krista was his
mother.
But for the sake of face, he still answered with a smile, “With a
mother around, surely one would act spoiled.”
The nurse was packing things up and curiously asked, “By the
way, why didn’t your mother come today?”
“She accompanied my father on a business trip.”
Bethany’s fist curled uncontrollably.
No wonder Krista didn’t return to Vespera Villa, turns out she
went to Alenia with Terrence.
The nurse packed up her things and left after saying goodbye to
Emery.
Bethany pressed her chest, feeling a suffocating sensation, and
asked Emery in sign language, “Did Krista go on a business trip
Chapter3
with your father?”
She didn’t want to doubt or speculate anymore.
It was easy to let this family fall apart.
So, she wanted to ask clearly.
Just now, Emery still felt quite guilty in his heart. Now the
nurse auntie has left, and there is no one else in the ward.
He said, “I said it casually, I also don’t know where she went. I
called her, she didn’t answer. Evangeline was with me in the
hospital yesterday, Mom…”
Emery called her “mom“.
Because he had just said that to the nurse, he was afraid of
making his mother sad, so when he called for his mother, his
voice was a bit soft.
Bethany looked at him.
He nervously said, “Mom, I’m sorry. The nurse earlier was the
mother of a classmate. There is a classmate in our class whose
mother has a limp, and they are all being mocked by the other
students. If they knew you couldn’t speak, they would
definitely mock me. When I grow up, I want to be a man with
Chapter 3
dignity, so that day when I was getting the injection, I told the
nurse that Krista is my mother…”
Bethany just stared at Emery without saying anything.
Emery thought she was angry and continued to explain, “Mom,
you love me the most, and you don’t want me to be mocked by
others, right? Behind people, I will still call you mom, but in
front of others, let Krista be my mom, is that okay?”
The corners of Bethany’s mouth were trembling.
This is the apple of her eye that she carried for ten months.
She had a feeling of wanting to cry but couldn’t shed tears…
Suddenly, a smell of blood in her throat, she quickly covered her
mouth and ran out of the ward.
She vomited.
Let go, in the palm of the hand was a clump of blood.
She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and walked towards
the public restroom.
She turned on the faucet, rinsed the blood off her palm, and
then washed her face vigorously, trying to wash away the tears
that were about to overflow.
Chapter 3
She walked out like a walking dead.
The phone rang, took it out.
It was a call from Emery’s phone watch.
She didn’t answer and hung up the phone.
Later, she sent a message to Evangeline.
“Stayed up all night, couldn’t resist anymore, please come over
and take my place.”
No matter how much Evangeline despised her, Evangeline
would not ignore Emery.
Emery was Terrence’s only son.
Terrence was Evangeline’s younger brother, born from her first
pregnancy. Evangeline was not married or had children yet, but
she cherished Emery very much.
“Got it, I’ll come right away.“”
Bethany still fulfilled her role as a mother, standing outside
Emery’s hospital room waiting for Evangeline.
Emery sent a message to Bethany.
