Chapter 84
“My little son… he died a long time ago, how could he possibly see me when I wake up?” The little one pushed me anxiously. Aviva and Cyrus’ crying sounded in my ears again. I hesitated for a long time, but eventually stood up. Before leaving, I couldn’t bear to look at the small figure behind me.
The little one waved goodbye to me. I forced a smile at her and walked quickly towards the door. “Mommy!” The calls from the little ones suddenly became clear! I slowly opened my eyes, looking at the pale ceiling, my eyes moistened.”Mommy, mommy!”
The three kids held my hands so tightly that they almost broke them.
I finally came to my senses.
In a trance, I heard a sweet sound.
When I thought of the little guy’s words in my dream, a touch of shock flashed through my eyes. I quickly looked in the direction of the voice.
What I saw was Lundy’s tearful face.
The little boy followed Aviva and Cyrus and kept calling his mommy.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
When I saw the little guy’s face clearly, a hint of self mockery flashed across my eyes.
My little son died a long time ago. How could I have such an illusion?
Aviva cried and threw herself into my arms. “Mommy, you finally wake up!”
Then, Cyrus and Lundy also jumped into my arms.
I was stunned for a few seconds before emotionally hugging the little ones in my arms. Although Lundy wasn’t my deceased child, I always treated him as if he were…
“Don’t cry, mommy’s okay.” I tried to comfort them with a sense of powerlessness.
“I’m sorry, I scared you, it’s mommy’s fault.” The little ones couldn’t stop crying, and my heart was also throbbing with pain. Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice sounded in my ear,
“Do you know how long you’ve been sleeping?”
I was startled and belatedly realized that Penn was there too.
“Mr. Carter…” Slowly letting go of the little ones in my arms, I looked at the man on the other side with a complicated expression.
When I saw Penn’s complexion, a trace of astonishment crossed my eyes. I only saw the man’s face was pale, his eyes bloodshot, his sharp eyebrows and
Is this man like this because of me?
Penn’s POV
I sighed deeply, and the huge stone in my heart slowly fell.
Looking at the stunned little woman on the bed, I couldn’t help but step forward and stared at her face, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
She lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t know. I just feel that I have slept for a long time.”
I frowned and suddenly touched her forehead.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I know this little woman is gas poisoning, but I still choose this clumsy way of care.
But I really don’t know how to express my concern.
Cyrus asked in a daze, “Mommy, do you have a fever?”
Hearing the little guy’s voice, I suddenly came to my senses.
Aimee raised her head to avoid the hand on her forehead and smiled at the kids.
Fortunately, the expert’s voice rang in time.
“Ahem…”
The leading expert broke the warmth in the ward and said nervously, “Miss Miller just woke up, we need to check her physical condition. Mr. Carter, could you take the children out first?” I remained silent for a few seconds before nodding and telling the little ones, “Let’s go out first.”
The little ones didn’t want to leave after waiting so long for Aimee to wake up. Lundy tightly held Aimee’s hand, his little face full of anxiety.
“Be good, you guys go out first. Miss Miller just woke up, her emotions cannot have too much fluctuation, otherwise it may affect her condition. You don’t want her to have any more problems, right?”
I patiently persuaded the little ones. Aviva walked over to Lundy and firmly held his hand. “Let’s go, let the doctor help mommy check her physical condition. We’ll wait outside. Don’t be afraid, mommy’s awake, nothing will happen.” Only then did Lundy slowly nod his head and follow Aviva and Cyrus out of the ward, looking back three times. I stayed behind to give some instructions to the experts before turning and leaving.
Aimee’s POV:
“Miss Miller, we had no idea that you knew Mr. Carter,” one of the experts said with a smile, recalling our previous encounter. I smiled and said, “Our children go to the same school in the same class, so we got to know each other that way.”
As for my relationship with Penn, I really didn’t know how to explain it to outsiders. The experts began examining me.
“But I don’t think your relationship with Mr. Carter is so simple,” the expert continued to chat with me.
Upon hearing this, I was suddenly startled and didn’t know where this was coming from.
“Today, Mr. Carter urgently called us over to the hospital, and we didn’t expect to see you being brought in,” the expert explained.
Thinking about Penn’s possible expression, my heart was in turmoil.
“He stayed with you for how long while you were unconscious? He even refused to let your children come see you, so as not to worry you,” the expert spoke slowly and deliberately.
I lowered my eyes, afraid to let them see my expression.
“Thank goodness you woke up, otherwise I would have worried whether we could still make it in the medical field,” the expert sighed.
My heart was in turmoil, and I couldn’t help but furrow my brows and interrupt the expert. “I’m sorry, I’m feeling a bit tired and would like to be quiet for a while.” While my surroundings finally became quiet, my emotions couldn’t calm down.
The expert’s words echoed in my ears. Penn had been by my side the whole time.
So, was it him who I thought I heard speaking to me earlier? I couldn’t help but become curious about what Penn had said to me…
