Chapter 617

“You fell in love with Reynaldo, and then you had a child. Naturally, I still hope that you both can be happy.”

I walked over and looked at her. “Reynaldo said you would definitely get better.”

Mikaela smiled resignedly and said, “He was just comforting himself.”

Reynaldo just cried in front of me. Reality is just so cruel. I have survived for so many years, and what is supposed to come will still come.

In the future, with you accompanying Reynaldo, I feel relieved. That child has a sensitive and fragile heart; I hope you can be more tolerant towards him.”

Mikaela held my hand, her voice pale and weary. This time, when she woke up from the coma, it seemed like she saw through everything, and her attitude towards me also changed drastically.

She said, “Actually, I don’t dislike you that much. I see the sincerity in the fact that you cook and bring food to me every day.” It’s just that, with Kimberly, Reynaldo and I ended up owing her a promise. Now she can understand, and the knot in my heart can finally be let go. “When the time comes, even if I die, I will still have the face to meet Theodore.”

“You will be fine.” Mikaela spoke somewhat sadly, and my heart felt a pang, with a hint of bitterness rising in my nose.

Mikaela lightly patted the back of my hand and said with a smile, “It’s nothing; that year I should have died, but Theodore saved me, and yet he left first. Now I can finally be free to go see him.”

“But if you leave, what will Reynaldo do? He loves you so much.”

“There you are.” Mikaela smiled at me and said, “Reynaldo really likes you. With you by his side, I believe he will be happy.”

After a pause, she said, “Actually, there was another reason why I initially rejected you.”

I looked at her puzzledly, “What reason?”

“Because many years ago, I saw you in that small town. Back then, the one you liked was clearly Anton; you even fought Reynaldo for Anton. But now you are with Reynaldo, and I worry that you are deliberately playing with their feelings.”

“I didn’t!” I said firmly, “I now know clearly that I like Reynaldo.”

“I knew, when I asked Reynaldo to fulfill his promise to Theodore, your sadness, your indignation, and the pity in your eyes for Reynaldo, I knew you had him in your heart.” In short, “live a good life with Reynaldo; I wish you both well.”

Chapter 617

Upon hearing her last sentence, my eyes instantly welled up with tears. Mikaela finally accepted me, but it was under these circumstances. How I wish she could get better and no longer be tortured by illness.

When I came out of Mikaela’s ward, I met Anton. Anton stood with his hands in his pockets, looking indifferent. He tilted his head and smiled at me, “Want to go out for a walk?”

I nodded. There were many patients sunbathing in the yard downstairs. Anton sat down on a long bench and patted the seat next to him. I sat down and asked him, “Are you here to see Reynaldo’s mother, too?”

“I have always hated his mother since I was a child; for this reason, my father often beat me. I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say. After all, very few children do like their stepmothers. “But she was really good to me and my sister, even better than our own mother. But what’s the use? After all, she’s not our real mother.”
