Chapter79
She was about to lose her ability to distinguish her own
perception.
Less than an hour passed, and the door of the operating room opened.
The doctor and nurse pushed Emery out.
Bethany saw Emery with his eyes closed and quickly took out her phone and typed a line of text.
“Wasn’t it just a minor surgery? Why is he still unconscious?”
The doctor smiled and said, “It’s not a coma, just asleep. Everything is fine. The surgery was successful, so don’t worry. They might wake up tomorrow morning when the anesthesia wears off and feel a little pain. Just comfort and soothe the child then.””
Bethany breathed a sigh of relief and followed the doctor and nurses to the ward.
They arranged Emery and then left.
Bethany sat at the bedside and reached out to touch Emery’s
Chapter79
cheek.
He looked very much like Terrence, almost as if he was carved
out of the same mold.
Every time she looked at Emery, she would think of Terrence.
Terrence and Emery were her dearest, dearest people, she loved Emery very, very much.
So, when she saw Emery liking Krista so much, she inevitably felt heartbroken.
Dong dong dong, there came a knocking sound from outside.
Bethany thought it was Terrence who had come back, so she turned her head.
The door was pushed open, and it was Krista.
Bethany’s eyes tightened.
Krista stepped in.
She walked to the bedside and glanced at Emery, looking
worried. “Beth, is Emery okay?”
Bethany knew that Krista could understand sign language, but she didn’t use a phone to type, she signed directly.
Chapter 79
“It was appendicitis, but it’s fine. I have already had the surgery!”
“How did he suddenly get appendicitis?”
Bethany shook her head.
Krista said with concern, “The child suffered so much.”
Krista took a chair and sat down next to Bethany.
Bethany furrowed her brow.
Terrence suddenly coaxed her, bought her a cake, and got
intimate with her.
It shattered her guess once.
She loved him so much that she was completely defenseless
against his tenderness.
Her heart began to hesitate…
Krista was Terrence’s aunt, but due to their similar ages, they
didn’t have the typical aunt–nephew relationship.
This existence without any sense of boundaries made it difficult
for Bethany to have any liking for her.
After all, Randy and Evangeline were both hinting at the
Chapter 79
relationship between Krista and Terrence.
At this moment, Krista came uninvited, and Bethany’s heart became even more chaotic.
Krista’s appearance, like a constant reminder, of what she had seen and heard in these days.
She was almost impulsive, wanting to take this opportunity to ask Krista.
But she felt it was not quite appropriate, too abrupt.
The main thing was that Krista, from the moment she appeared
in front of her, whether in words or actions, was always protective of her.
What is the real relationship between Krista and Terrence, she asked, afraid that Krista might not be able to tell the truth.
If it had reached Terrence, it would have been even worse.
He didn’t like such behavior.
Of course, she also scorned to do so.
It was just because of the inner conflict and the desire to completely understand the truth of the matter that there was a moment of impulsiveness.
Chapter 79
She quickly suppressed the force of this impulse, sitting quietly
without making a sound.
Krista did speak.
“Beth, Emery, there wasn’t anything major happening over here. You’re fine for the night, so go back and rest. I’ll take care of him for you.”
Bethany gestured and said, “No worries, I’m not tired. It’s you who just got off the plane and haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet. You should go rest”
Krista thought for a moment and said, “Beth, here’s the thing. Last time Emery had a fever, the nurse who gave him the injection was his classmate’s mom. He asked me to pretend to be you, saying that he didn’t want his classmates to know about your situation. It’s almost dawn, and there will be more staff during the day, so we might run into someone we know…
If it was too obvious, Krista didn’t say anything more.
Bethany could understand what she meant.
Krista added, “I didn’t mean to offend you by saying you can’t speak. Children are young and have strong self–esteem, they want to save face, which is understandable. I heard Emery say that you are very gentle and understanding, so, can you
Chapter79
understand Emery’s feelings, right?”
When Krista spoke, her voice was not loud, but rather polite and gentle, soft and intellectual. Even though the words were so
harsh, when they came out of her mouth, they still sounded
pleasant.
Bethany reluctantly pursed her lips.
Emery’s mood, she could indeed understand.
She also heard Emery’s concern about her inability to speak.
