She didn’t answer.
After a while, Terrence’s phone also rang.
It was still Eliza who called.
Terrence answered the phone.
“Mr. McConnell, something’s wrong. Mr. Emery had a fever and
kept calling for his mother. I called Mrs. McConnell, but she
didn’t answer. Please come back as soon as possible.”
“I knew it.”
Terrence hung up the phone and grasped Bethany’s wrist.
“Go home, Emery had a fever.”
Bethany’s heart tightened, and her feet had already followed Terrence out.
But she thought of Emery’s disdain for her…
She let go of Terrence’s hand again.
Terrence’s face darkened, his voice cold and stern, “You should

have some limits to your antics. Emery is sick, calling out for his
mother. Are you willing to abandon your own son?”
Bethany was indifferent.
Terrence pointed his finger at Bethany, shaking it a few times.
before finally dropping it in resignation.
He picked up his phone and dialed Eliza’s WhatsApp video.
Eliza answered the video call, and the camera was directly
facing Emery.
Eliza was holding a warm towel and wiping Emery’s forehead.
Emery closed his eyes in distress and weakly cried out, “Mom…
Mom..”
Bethany heard Emery’s whispered voice calling for his mother,
and her fists clenched tightly.
“Mr. McConnell, I called an ambulance already. You and Mrs.
McConnell hurry back.”
“Mom..”
Bethany almost cried, without looking, she also knew that Emery was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.
Chapter43
Children have weak immune systems, and before the age of
three, they are always prone to
та
fever.
Every time Emery got sick, Bethany would stay by his side,
taking care of him day and night.
That was the child she gave birth to herself, a little bundle that
she raised bit by bit from a very young age…
The son used to despise the mother, but the mother would
never despise the son.
She couldn’t help but soften her heart a little.
Bethany quickly took out a piece of clothing from the suitcase
and put it on, then walked out briskly.
Terrence hung up the phone and followed.
Returned to Vespera Villa.
Bethany rushed into Emery’s room in a hurry, but her footsteps
came to a halt at the door.
Wearing a hospital gown, Krista held Emery in her arms and whispered, “Emery, don’t cry, the ambulance is coming soon…”
“Whimper… I no longer like… Mom, whimper… Krista, be my
mom…”
Emery cried and said, tears streaming down his face.
Bethany’s face turned pale, even her lips lost all color.
She took two steps back uncontrollably.
The sound of an ambulance could be heard outside.
Terrence came in and headed straight to Emery’s room.
Krista looked up and exclaimed, “Terrence, you have finally
returned.”
Krista picked up Emery.
Terrence thought of her injury, quickly went over, took Emery
from Krista’s hand, and turned to leave.
Krista followed out.
She saw Bethany, with a gentle furrow between her eyebrows,
carrying a hint of meaningful provocation.
Then, pretending not to see Bethany, I quickened my pace and caught up with Terrence’s footsteps.
Bethany’s legs were floating, and she had to support herself on the wall to stand steady.

Eliza came
quickly supported Bethany.
“Mrs. McConnell, when did you come back?”
Eliza furrowed her brow as Mr. Emery called Krista, who then
rushed over from the hospital.
Mr. Emery also told Krista that he wanted Krista to be his
mother, and I don’t know if Mrs. McConnell heard it.
Ah…
It was really worrying.
Bethany took out her phone and typed a line, “Just got back.”
Eliza helped Bethany sit down in the living room and said
earnestly, “Mrs. McConnell, please don’t go out again when you
come back, okay?”
Eliza was really afraid that if things continued like this, this
family would fall apart.
Eliza got up and poured Bethany a cup of hot water.
Bethany drank half a cup and felt slightly more comfortable.
This family didn’t need her anymore.
to speak.
This was her flaw, she accepted it.
But she never expected that Emery would actually want Kristal
to be his mother.
She took out her phone and typed a line of text.
“Eliza, thank you for always caring about me, but… this family
didn’t need me anymore!”
Eliza saw the words on her phone and thought, “Mrs. McConnell must have heard what Mr. Emery just said.”
She quickly advised, “Mrs. McConnell, please don’t overthink.”
The corner of Bethany’s lips curved with a touch of bitterness.
It really wasn’t her wish.
It was all facts she had seen with her own eyes.
