Chapter 613

“I always seemed to lack the ability to save the person closest to me.”

“How can this be blamed on you again?”

At this moment, I could really understand his feelings.

Just like my kidney didn’t match with my mom’s today, I also felt guilty in my heart for a while.

She gave birth to me and raised me, but I couldn’t save her.

When I returned to the ward with Reynaldo, Mikaela was still asleep and Kimberly was on the phone in the bathroom.

She didn’t know who she was talking to on the phone, and her voice was deliberately kept low.

I vaguely heard her say, “Ah, that’s really bad news. I don’t know how to comfort you. You must take care of yourself.”

“It’s okay, with the advancement of medicine nowadays, this kind of illness can definitely be cured.”

“Well, bye bye, you also rest early, I will come to visit you when I have time.”

When Kimberly came out of the bathroom, there was an unmistakable smile and pride on her face.

This made me wonder if the person who just talked to her on the phone was her enemy, or some of her plastic sisters.

From her recent conversation, it seemed like the other party had “caught some kind of illness.”

But she was in high spirits.

She saw me coming back with Reynaldo and instantly “pressed down” the smile on her face.

A hint of apology even appeared on her face as she said to me, “I’m sorry, Ms. Dully. I was just a little emotional earlier, so I didn’t speak very nicely. Please don’t take it to heart. I’m just too worried about Mikaela.”

I frowned and glared at her, instinctively feeling that this woman was up to no good.

After she finished speaking to me, she looked at Reynaldo and said, “Reynaldo, I’m sorry. I was just too worried about Mikaela, so I spoke to Ms. Duffy a bit harshly.”

“It’s nothing, I don’t think Esmeralda would blame you,” Reynaldo said lightly.

Kimberly nodded, her expression changing from resentment to one of apology and regret.

“Reynaldo, Ms. Duffy, I suddenly realized now that forced melons are not sweet, and forced relationships are not lasting. You want to treat me as a younger sister, then I will be your younger sister in the future. Actually, thinking about it, it’s nice to have one more brother and sister-in-law to care for.”

I furrowed my brows more tightly, watching the woman in front of me cautiously.

I swear I will never believe that this woman will come to her senses.

Chapter 13

What trick did she want to play after all? With this sudden change, I became even more uneasy, feeling more and more like she was brewing some big move.

I looked at Reynaldo.

Reynaldo’s eyes flashed with a touch of relief.

She said to Kimberly, “It’s good that you can think like this. As long as you can be a good sister to me in the future, treat Esmeralda as your sister-in-law, then we will definitely treat you as a beloved younger sister.”

“Mm-hmm, sister-in-law!” Kimberly nodded, then affectionately called me “sister-in-law.”

This sudden change left me unsure of how to react.

Kimberly suddenly looked at me with a face full of grievances and said, “Ms. Duffy, it seems like you don’t really like it when I call you that, do you?”

“No,” I replied calmly.

It was obvious that Reynaldo had already believed in the transformation of this woman. Whatever else I might say, Reynaldo would probably be displeased and think I was being petty.

I suppressed my doubts and unease in my heart, and just didn’t say anything more.
