George Gregory ran up to Amber Mitchell and blocked her way. âAre you going back now?â
âWhat else?â she asked.
âDonât you⦠want to visit Simon?â he asked.
âSimon?â Amber Mitchellâs eyes flickered a little as hesitation appeared on her face.
âThatâs my child⦠Although I didnât take care of him or get the chance to bond with him, Iâm glad to find out that heâs still alive. Iâve even been crying in the dead of night for days now!
She wanted to see and talk to the child. She wanted to touch and hug him!
She had never held the little one since he was born.
Seeing Amber Mitchellâs hesitation, George Gregory continued saying, âSimon woke up yesterday. Heâs still a little weak, but you can go and see him. But-â
Pressing his thin lips together, he added, âBecause heâs still weak, Iâm momentarily keeping the news from him. I didnât tell him that youâre his biological mother. Donât tell him that youâre his mother when you see him later.â
âGot it,â Amber Mitchell said indifferently with no expression on her face.
George Gregory explained uneasily, âI just want to wait until heâs well enough to tell him that youâre his mother. I have no intention of hiding it from him.â
âIt doesnât matter to me whether you tell him or not,â said Amber Mitchell. She only wanted the child to live well and healthily.
âIt doesnât matter?â His expression changed slightly. It mattered to him, but it did not matter to her? âWould you rather he not be our child so you can distance yourself from me better?â
âGeorge Gregory, what are you trying to say? Simonâs our child, and thatâs a fact that canât be changed. It doesnât matter to me whether he knows Iâm his mother.â After going through so many things, she was exhausted and became more open-minded.
She only hoped that the child could survive and peacefully live the life he wanted. That was enough.
After a pause, Amber Mitchell continued saying, âBesides, Iâm not going to fight you for the childâs custody. You can rest assured that nothing will change.â
It was undoubtedly the best for Simon to stay with the Gregory family. The Gregory family could provide Simon a lavish life and meticulous care, which was beyond her ability.
Besides, Simon must have gotten used to living with the Gregory family after so many years. He was used to the Gregory family members accompanying him. She was no more than a stranger to Simon.
However, her statement made George Gregoryâs heart sink.
He hoped that everything could change. He hoped Simon could provide them an opportunity and she could take him back.
Even though it might take a long time and a lot of effort to get there, he was willing to do it.
However, she now told him that nothing would change.
Was she also telling him that she would never accept him?
With almost weak steps, George Gregory took Amber Mitchell to Simonâs ward.
Unlike the last time when she had seen the little one in a coma, he was not wearing an oxygen mask anymore and appeared to be in good spirits. He sat on his hospital bed building a toy car.
