Chapter 661

I chuckled, "Is he so sure? If his girlfriend bullies me in the future, always picks on me for everything, I’ll see if I don’t slap his face!"

In the following days, my mother received timely injections for inflammation and took medication. Quentin and I took turns taking care of my mother, talking to her, and sitting in the sun with her. Occasionally, I would also give Reynaldo a call in my spare time. If he was not busy and it was convenient, we would also have a video call. Every time I would ask about his mother’s situation.

He said the situation on his mother’s side was relatively stable, and he also said his mother missed me and wanted to see me. I was thinking that after the surgery on the 20th was all done, I would go visit his mother.

Speaking of which, I almost forgot about someone – Kimberly. These days, Kimberly was unusually quiet, not a bit of mischief was done. Based on her past behavior, when I didn’t have time to meet with Reynaldo, she would definitely go out of her way to show off in front of Reynaldo, then take some photos that would make me misunderstand and send them to me, just to show off and provoke me. But she didn’t do anything at all, which is really rare.

I didn’t believe at all that she would come to her senses and turn to goodness. As the saying goes, “A barking dog seldom bites, and a biting dog seldom barks.” So, someone as cunning as her suddenly stopped doing anything, which made me even more uneasy.

Fortunately, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 19th. As long as the surgery tomorrow goes smoothly, I won’t have anything to worry about. At night, Quentin couldn’t fall asleep and paced back and forth in the living room.

I looked at him inexplicably and said, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so nervous?”

“Ralda…” Quentin leaned against the window and lit a cigarette. He took a puff and asked me, “You think Mom’s surgery will go well, right?”

“Why do you ask like this?”

“I don’t know,” Quentin said, pulling at his collar anxiously, "I don’t know why, but my heart was beating fast, and I just had this feeling that something bad was going to happen."

“Ah, phew! Hurry up and take back those unlucky words of yours. Reynaldo consulted experts in this type of surgery, and as long as the kidney source is suitable, the surgery is likely to be successful. So, don’t create panic and anxiety here, our mother definitely didn’t have any problems.”

“Um!” Quentin nodded heavily.

He turned around and pushed open the window, and the smoke rising from his fingers drifted into the room with the wind. With the wind came his elusive voice, “Ralda, if one day you find out that I have deceived you, will you hate me?”

I frowned heavily and said, “Where did this start? What did you deceive me about?”

Quentin was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and smiled at me, saying, “No, I was just asking casually.”

“No way!” I glared at him. “You definitely lied to me about something. Come clean right now, or I won’t talk to you anymore!”

“No…” Quentin smiled at me helplessly, “Look at you, so suspicious. I shouldn’t have casually asked you questions.”

“You…”

I was about to speak when suddenly my phone rang. It was a video request from Reynaldo. Quentin joked with a smile at me, “Tsk tsk, Reynaldo, one video a day, you really never stop, huh."
