Listen to this chapter:

She leaned against the door frame, hunched over, with an indescribable sorrow on her face.

I thought, "Reynaldo loves his mother so much," so I helped her back into the wheelchair.

She leaned back in the chair, one hand stroking her forehead, her eyes half-closed, not saying a word.

I didnโ€™t intend to say much either, so I just got up and prepared to leave.

She suddenly said to me softly, "Todayโ€™s events, I hope you donโ€™t tell Reynaldo."

I sneered inwardly, feeling a bit cold and angry at the same time. Kimberly was always spoiling her grandson; she even protected Kimberly like this.

I said flatly, "I will definitely tell Reynaldo about this. I wonโ€™t let my child get into any accidents."

After I finished speaking, I walked out of the ward, where I heard Mikaela let out a heavy sigh.

Coming out of the hospital, I felt a bit depressed and a little scared. I touched my stomach and thought, "Thank goodness nothing happened to the child just now, otherwise, I really couldnโ€™t go on."

I donโ€™t plan to come to this hospital in the future. Mikaela, I also do not intend to visit again to please her, in order to avoid running into Kimberly.

I took out my phone, checked the time, then dialed Reynaldo directly. At this point, he should have been taking a nap.

The phone was quickly answered.

Reynaldoโ€™s gentle voice soon came, "Whatโ€™s wrong?"

Listening to his voice, my uneasiness dissipated slightly. There was still the rustling sound of flipping paper and writing on the phone, and I paused, "Are you still busy?"

"Well, there have been a lot of things going on recently, but I will spend time with you after I finish my work."

"No problem, the important thing is to focus on the task at hand."

Seeing him so busy, I hesitated again about whether to tell him what had just happened in the ward. At that moment, I heard Braylonโ€™s voice on the phone, saying, "Mr. Humphrey, the meeting arrangements have all been made. We are just waiting for you to come over."

"Okay, Iโ€™ll go over there right now."

After Reynaldo finished talking to his assistant, he came back and called out to me, "Esmeralda, Iโ€™m about to go to a meeting. Can I pick you up after work and we can have dinner together?"

"Oh, okay, okayโ€ฆ you go ahead."

"Well, rest well at home. Call me anytime if you need anything."

He gave me a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

I sighed softly, thinking to myself, "Iโ€™ll talk to him about these troublesome matters later."

During this period, I just stayed at home obediently, so as not to accidentally fall into the trap of that cunning woman.

In the afternoon, I went to the nearby supermarket with my mom and bought some vegetables. Reynaldo was originally going to come pick me up after work to go out to eat, but I decided it would be better to eat at home.

Before cooking, I sent Reynaldo a message, "Dinner at my momโ€™s place?"

He quickly replied with "Hmm."

After receiving his message, my mom and I started preparing ingredients for cooking. We were just waiting for the meal to be ready, but Reynaldo didnโ€™t come. Instead, all we got was a phone call from him.

"Sorry, Esmeralda, I had to work overtime suddenly, so I wonโ€™t be coming back to eat. You and Mom go ahead."

Looking at the message, I sighed softly. Reynaldo was really busy during this time.
