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 didnโt intend to say much either, so I just got up and prepared to leave.
She suddenly said to me softly, "Todayโs events, I hope you donโt 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 wonโt 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 couldnโt go on."
I donโt 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.
Reynaldoโs gentle voice soon came, "Whatโs 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 Braylonโs voice on the phone, saying, "Mr. Humphrey, the meeting arrangements have all been made. We are just waiting for you to come over."
"Okay, Iโll go over there right now."
After Reynaldo finished talking to his assistant, he came back and called out to me, "Esmeralda, Iโm about to go to a meeting. Can I pick you up after work and we can have dinner together?"
"Oh, okay, okayโฆ 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, "Iโll 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 momโs 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 didnโt come. Instead, all we got was a phone call from him.
"Sorry, Esmeralda, I had to work overtime suddenly, so I wonโt be coming back to eat. You and Mom go ahead."
Looking at the message, I sighed softly. Reynaldo was really busy during this time.
