Chapter 654

“It’s okay, there’s still a long way to go. Everything will be fine after our mother finishes the surgery.”

Reynaldo nodded and said, “I hope everything goes smoothly.”

After dinner, Reynaldo “took” me back to the rental near the hospital.

As I got out of the car and walked into the corridor, he caught up with me in a few steps and reluctantly held my hand.

I turned back and smiled at him, “In 7 days, it will be the 20th. It won’t be long. These days, just focus on work and take good care of your mother. After the surgeries are successfully completed on the 20th, we will get together again.”

Reynaldo looked at me steadily, his warm, large hand holding mine tightly.

I smiled at him and said, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,” Reynaldo shook his head, “I just really miss you.”

I chuckled and looked at him with a smile. I hadn’t realized how clingy he was before.

“Esmeralda, while taking care of your mother these days, you must also take good care of yourself.”

He stroked my hair hanging on my chest and instructed, “You must remember to eat well, it’s getting cold, wear more clothes, don’t kick the blanket at night, remember…”

“Okay!” I interrupted him with a laugh. “When did Mr. Humphrey become so chatty, like a gossiping old woman?”

Reynaldo suddenly pulled me into his arms and held me tightly.

He rested his chin on my neck and murmured. “Although it’s only seven days apart, I feel like these seven days will be very difficult to endure. Remember to send me a message every day and call me when you have time. No matter how busy I am, as long as it’s your call, I will answer.”

“Okay.”

Reynaldo’s reluctance softened my heart to a great extent. At this moment, I truly felt his love, intense and unwavering. However, there seemed to be a hint of worry hidden in his love. My heart also rose with a touch of bitterness and unease.

I asked him, “What are you worried about? Is it your mother’s surgery?”

Reynaldo shook his head and said, “The doctor said that for this type of surgery, as long as the kidney source is suitable, the success rate is very high.”

“What are you worried about?” I could clearly feel his fear from his reluctant love. So I don’t understand, besides his mother’s illness, what could someone like him fear?

Reynaldo looked at me steadily, he caressed my cheek, his voice very low.

“It’s okay, I just felt a little uneasy in my heart, very afraid that I won’t see you again in the future.”

“Fool!”

I threw myself into his arms, holding his thin waist tightly, murmuring, “It’s only been seven days since we parted, how could we not see each other? And we are not far apart, so we could also talk on the phone in our spare time. So Reynaldo, why did you have that kind of anxiety?”

“I don’t know,” Reynaldo said gloomily, “maybe it’s because you used to sneak away all the time before, and it scared me.”

“I won’t do it anymore!” I assured him earnestly, “I will never run away again in the future, and Esmeralda will never leave Reynaldo.”

Reynaldo then smiled, and the sadness and unease in his eyes dissipated a little.

He pulled the scarf around my neck and said, “Let’s go up, it’s cold outside.”

“Well, you should go back and rest early too.”

After saying that, I tiptoed and kissed his cheek before turning around and going upstairs.

Just the next second, he suddenly grabbed me again.
