Chapter44
“By the way.” Eliza suddenly remembered what happened
when Mr. Emery came back from school, and she quickly told
Bethany, “Mrs. McConnell, you are still very important to Mr.
Emery. When he came back from school today, he saw the
thing you brought back, which turned out to be a ring. He said it
was specially auctioned for you by Mr. McConnell at a charity auction in Southmount. After all, it was Mr. McConnell’s
heartfelt gesture. He was worried that if you returned it, it would make Mr. McConnell unhappy, so he asked me to help
him hide it from Mr. McConnell.”
Eliza tried to use this method to keep Bethany.
Bethany looked at Eliza with confusion.
Eliza added, “Mr. Emery was taking care of you. He just had a fever and he called you. When a child is sick, their heart is fragile. He waited for you but you never came. Maybe he was just angry and didn’t mean it. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Bethany was slightly moved.
The son was still young and unaware of the emotional entanglements between adults.
Chapter44
I did know that I didn’t want her to have a falling out with
Terrence.
Just now, she received the news that Emery was sick, and she
hesitated to come back to see him.
She couldn’t hold back when she heard him calling for his
mother, so she hurried back.
If it weren’t for her hesitation, she could have come back earlier,
and he might not have called Krista.
Although Emery couldn’t speak to her and had a feeling of
disgust, after all, he was still her son.
She was only six months old.
No matter how much her son disappointed her, she couldn’t do
it either. She couldn’t just let go of the son she had loved for six
years overnight.
Bethany pondered for a moment and texted Eliza on her phone,
telling her that she went to the hospital to check on Emery.
Eliza called the driver and happily sent Bethany out.
Looking forward to Bethany’s visit to see Emery, hoping that her relationship with Terrence can be improved.

Terrence and Krista accompanied Emery to the hospital and
entered the pediatric emergency room.
When the doctor was examining, Krista was constantly
hugging Emery, showing great care for him.
Fortunately, it was just a common fever, just with a slightly
high temperature.
After the examination, it was necessary to receive intravenous
drip.
Terrence got a VIP ward to make Emery more comfortable.
Not long after, the nurse came in with medication and started
an IV drip for Emery.
Emery discovered that the nurse auntie was actually his
classmate’s mother.
The nurse also recognized Emery and politely greeted their
family of three.
When the nurse gave Emery an injection, she touched his head and said softly, “Emery, you have to bear with it, injections can be painful.”
Emery instinctively held Krista tightly.

“I had my mom with me, so I wasn’t afraid.”
Bethany had just reached the door of the ward when she heard
these words.
The nurse started giving Emery an injection, with Emery’s face
pressed against Krista’s chest.
As close as a mother and child…
Terrence stood aside, but did not correct Emery’s words.
The nurse fixed the needle, smiling and said, “Emery, your mother looks really beautiful.”
“Of course, and my mother’s voice sounded very pleasant.”
Bethany turned and left.
When she passed by the trash can, she threw the delicate pastry
she was holding into it.
Reached out, wiped the dampness from the corner of my eye,
and disappeared into the depths of the night.
After the nurse left the ward.
Emery released Krista.
Chapter44
“Krista, I’m sorry. The nurse earlier was my classmate’s mother.
I didn’t want my classmates to know about my mom, so I
pretended you were my mom. Are you mad at me?”
Krista pinched Emery’s little nose and said with a smile, “Of
course, I wasn’t angry with you, but your approach was wrong.
As a son, you shouldn’t dislike your own mother, you know?”
Emery pouted and said sadly, “She never comes home, and it’s
fine if she doesn’t cook for me, but now she doesn’t even take
care of me when I’m sick…”
Emery thought of Bethany and felt a bit disappointed, with a
hint of resentment in his heart.
“Emery.”
Terrence suddenly shouted at him.
Emery looked up.
Terrence said in a low voice, “Krista is right. As a son, you shouldn’t despise your mother. You are still so young, yet you are already showing signs of hypocrisy. This kind of thinking
must be changed in the future.”
Krista paused for a moment.

When Emery said this last time, Terrence wasn’t so serious.
It is only natural that children grow up and care about their
reputation.
