Watching her tears fall to the ground, I turned to look at her and continued, âMaybe I was wrong to go to Newton Town in the first place. I shouldnât have gone to Newton Town. That way, I wouldnât have met Dennis, I wouldnât have met Olivia, and I wouldnât have met you.â
âClara...â She said, her voice breaking. Probably in pain, she held on to the cupboard, sobbing slightly.
I sighed, smiled faintly, then simply looked at her nonchalantly and continued, âIf I had not met you, my life might not have been so hard. Falling in love with Dennis. I donât know if itâs right or wrong. Because I loved him, I implied to myself that I loved him and that I could forgive everything.â
âKnowing that you are my parents, I just think fate is ridiculous. I canât hate you honestly, I canât hate you in my heart, I dare not hate you, because you are my real parents. Itâs like I love Dennis, because of love, I can tolerate everything. But, can I really do that? I donât think I can.â
Looking at her, I smiled with pain. âYou just said I hate you, but, four years ago when I knew everything, I chose to leave everyone. All reason told me that I could not hate you, because you are my mother, my blood kindred.â
At this point she fell silent. Perhaps my words were too heavy, and she was pale and half squatting on the ground. Her tears hit the tile floor, very quietly, but very loud.
I turned and walked out of the kitchen, still in pain, but tolerable.
It had been a long journey. We went down our own path and licked our wounds when it hurt. When we were healed, we started over.
In the yard, Dennis and Samuel Lewis returned from a stroll.
Seeing that I didnât look well, Dennis came up to me and pulled me and asked me gently, âWhatâs the matter? You donât look good.â
I shook my head, then looked up at him and smiled, with tears in my eyes. What was the big deal? Even if we lost the baby, we could have another one, right?
Seeing the tears in my eyes, he turned pale and pulled me into his arms, then said quietly, âWhat happened?â
I shook my head, suffering from pain, unwilling to speak.
Samuel Lewis hadnât seen Luna yet. He stood by, worried but without saying anything, and went into the living room to look for Luna.
Ten minutes later, he helped Luna out. Luna was pale, her forehead stained with sweat.
Yara said suddenly, âWhatâs the matter? Why is your face so pale? Youâre sweating like that. I think you should go to the hospital.â
Luna shook her head and waved her hand, âNo, itâs okay. I just have a stomachache. Itâll go away.â
Samuel Lewis was worried about her. He looked at her and then said, âLetâs go to the hospital first.â
âNo!â Luna held him down, her voice pained, âIâll be oaky in a minute. Weâre celebrating New Yearâs Eve tonight.â
Samuel Lewis frowned. He looked worried.
I looked at Luna, was silent for a moment, and then said, âYou should go to the hospital. If itâs appendicitis, itâs a problem.
Samuel Lewis looked at me, and without thinking, he picked Luna up and walked out of the villa.
Yara followed.
Looking at their anxious backs, I unconsciously clenched my hands, and then a pair of big hands surrounded me.
I looked up and saw Dennis looking at me. He said softly, âDonât worry, itâs not far from the hospital.â
I nodded, but I still felt uneasy.
So I followed them after all.
In the hospital.
Luna was diagnosed with appendicitis and needed surgery. So Yara went back to the villa to take care of Clariana, while the others stayed behind at the hospital.
In the hospital corridor, the draught blew through, making people feel cold to the heart.
If you looked at one place for a long time, your eyes would hurt. I gasped and looked away. The words âemergency roomâ were too harsh.
âDonât worry, itâs all right!â Dennisâs voice was quiet, even composed.
I nodded, leaning against his chest. My body was stiff with cold, and he tried to pass it on to me.
âBang!â
The door to the emergency room was opened. The surgeon came out and took off his gloves.
Samuel Lewis hurried forward and said, âDoctor, how is my wife?â
âThe operation was a success. She will be all right after a few days rest in hospital. Donât worry about it.â With that, the doctor left.
I breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed my nerves.
Before long, several nurses wheeled Luna out and took her straight to the ward.
Samuel Lewis followed, and I stood there for a long time before I said, âLetâs go.â
As I head for the elevator, Dennis said, âArenât you going to see her?â
I shook my head, âNo. Clarieâs still at home.â
With that, Dennis shut up.
We got into the car and it was quiet. Looking at the twinkling lights outside the window, I could not help sighing, it was already dark.
We were supposed to bring Karina dinner, but she had probably already eaten by now.
I reached for my phone and called her. As soon as she got through, she said, âClara, howâs it going Luna? Is she okay?â
I was stunned, âHow... how did you know that?â
She said, âI called you back as soon as you finished calling me, but your phone was turned off all the time. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I called your home landline. It was Clariana, and she said an old lady was sick, so I figured it was Luna, so I knew.â
I nodded and said apologetically, âI was supposed to deliver something to you, but I got busy and forgot. Have you eaten yet?â
She replied, âAfter everything thatâs happened, youâre still thinking about that? Iâm at home with a babysitter. Donât worry. Iâm glad to know Lunaâs fine.â
I nodded and thought of Leo, so I asked, âIs Leo there?â
Perhaps the question was too sensitive, she said after a pause, âHe should be busy!â
Looked like Leo hadnât been to see them lately. I suppressed my emotion and said, âYou take care of yourself.â
After the greeting, I hung up.
My hand was held by Dennis. He soothed me with a low voice, âDonât worry about it. Letâs go home and get some rest.â
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 413 We all Know What we Want 5 I nodded, looked at him sideways, and said suddenly, âThe book says that if a man loves a woman he will crawl to her side even if he is dying, but why donât I see it like this?â
Leo had feelings for Karina. After years of companionship, he had become accustomed to Karinaâs presence. But why did he give her the cold shoulder when she was at her weakest?
The wound of the heart was far more painful than the wound of the body.
Dennis put one hand on the steering wheel and looked at me sideways. His eyes were warm and he said, âThere are ghosts and gods in the book, but are there any in reality?â
