Chapter 14 Everything Will Be Alright
Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Corbin quickly stood up and wore a usual
sweet smile on his face.
He ran to Ladonna excitedly. “Mommy! I miss you so much! Where did you go? Daddy and I couldn’t find you!”
Ladonna didn’t know how to answer him. She looked up, only to meet Cedric’s eyes.
Cedric stayed silent, waiting for her response.
She frowned slightly, mind racing. “Well, Coby, Izabella got sick, and I had to take her for treatment. That’s why I left in a hurry.”
Cedric didn’t buy her story. He frowned in displeasure.
“Don’t worry, Mommy,” Corbin said with a firm voice, “Izabella’s doing better! She even talked to me just now. We have some amazing doctors here. She’ll be okay soon!”
Corbin’s trust made Ladonna feel even worse.
After all, she lied to him.
Her smile grew awkward.
Cedric seemed to notice it.
He stood up and interrupted, “Alright, let’s go see Izabella.”
Cedric took the lead and walked to Izabella’s room.
Corbin grabbed Ladonna’s hand affectionately. They walked together to

Izabella’s room.

The moment the door was opened, Ladonna’s eyes locked onto the little girl.
Izabella curled up in bed. She still looked weak and pale, but much better than before.
“Mommy,” Izabella whispered. Ladonna’s eyes instantly turned red. Feeling like crying, she rushed to the bed and hugged Izabella tightly.
Izabella was her everything. If something happened to Izabella, Ladonna didn’t know how she could survive.
“Izabella, how are you feeling? Anything not well? If so, tell me, okay?”
Ladonna asked with sorrow and gently stroked Izabella’s cheek.
Izabella shook her head with a smile and said strongly, “I’m fine, Mommy. It doesn’t hurt at all. Please don’t cry. I don’t like seeing you sad.”
She wiped away Ladonna’s tears.
“Okay, I won’t cry. But remember to take your medicine, alright? If you don’t feel well, just tell Mommy. Don’t hide it, okay?”
Something stirred in Cedric’s heart.
Ladonna’s love for Izabella reminded him of the time when Corbin’s younger brother was still alive.
But things totally changed after that… Corbin was almost another boy.
Thankfully, Ladonna gradually turned Corbin back to a normal kid.
Time passed quietly. When Izabella finally fell asleep again, Ladonna reluctantly left the room.

Corbin lay on the bed beside Izabella and also fell asleep. Ladonna softly closed the door.
She wiped her tears and looked at Cedric. “Thank you.”
Cedric was never good at comforting people. Seeing her sad like this, he was at a loss.
Trying to copy how Corbin comforted Izabella, Cedric awkwardly patted Ladonna’s head.
“It’s okay. Everything will be okay. I’m here. Don’t worry.”
Even saying that made him feel strange, but Ladonna suddenly lost control. She threw her arms around him and held him tight.
