Chapter78
On the bedside table, there was also a disposable plate left over from eating the cake.
Today was not Terrence’s birthday, nor was it Emery’s birthday.
So, it was Bethany’s birthday.
Tonight, Terrence stayed in the room with her and Emery. He kept looking at his watch constantly. Approaching ten o’clock, he went downstairs. After a while, Krista heard the sound of a car starting.
Krista clenched her fist.
The bedding and sheets were messy.
There was also a towel, scattered and messy, lying on the floor.
Upon closer inspection, there was still a damp spot on the bedsheet.
Krista’s fist tightened, and she turned away from the master bedroom.
Did Terrence really have feelings for that mute person?
Chapter78
Before, when she was not around, they got married and had a
child. They were together, but she couldn’t see it, so she didn’t
really care.
But she was here, and he was still with that mute…
Last time, I made my mouth bleed.
Terrence seemed to still care about their past. Why was he maintaining such a close relationship with Bethany when she came back to him?
She didn’t believe Terrence would do this, it must be Bethany, the mute girl who appears innocent but is actually a little slut, who seduced Terrence like this.
In her impression, Terrence was definitely not the kind of man who was very indulgent in matters between men and women.
He exuded an aura of asceticism from head to toe.
That damn mute!
Bethany massaged Emery’s stomach all the way, but Emery’s stomach pain did not get any relief.
Bethany felt like this was not just an ordinary stomach ache.
She was very worried.
Chapter 78
Terrence accelerated the speed of the car.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined Emery
and diagnosed him with acute appendicitis. It required
immediate surgery.
No wonder the sudden abdominal pain persisted.
Bethany was very worried and eager to ask the doctor about the situation, but she couldn’t speak.
Terrence knew what she wanted to ask and helped her ask all the questions she needed to ask.
The doctor said it was just a minor surgery and there would be no danger.
Soon, Emery was pushed into the operating room.
Although the doctor said it was not a big problem, Bethany was
still very worried as surgery was still required.
She stood at the door of the operating room, her heart almost flying into the room.
She felt guilty.
These days, she neglected Emery too much because of her own
emotional issues.
Chapter 78
Emery was just a six–year–old child, with shortcomings in behavior and speech. Her mother, instead of providing understanding and education, ignored her.
If she had paid attention to him and taken care of him, maybe
he wouldn’t have gotten this illness.
Bethany clenched her fist as she leaned against the wall.
Terrence walked over, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and reassured her in a comforting voice, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
Bethany closed her eyes uncomfortably.
She didn’t ask Terrence, didn’t fully understand everything about the situation, and started negating everything because she only had six months to live.
No, she wanted to talk to Terrence.
Life had only six months left, and she couldn’t afford to have any regrets.
She raised her hand, about to start signing, when Terrence’s phone rang.
He took out his phone, it was a call from Evangeline.
Chapter78
“Beth, I’ll take the call first.””
“Terrence, come over quickly and pick me up. I’m on the airport
highway and the car broke down.”
In the middle of the night, Evangeline had no choice but to look
for him.
“Didn’t you go abroad? How come you came back so quickly?”
Evangeline was furious, “How dare you ask me? I just arrived at my grandfather’s house, and he said Krista had already taken Emery to the airport. I had a meal with my grandfather, chatted for a while, and then came back.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”
Terrence hung up the phone, turned to Bethany and said, “Evangeline’s car broke down, you wait here for Emery, I’ll go pick her up.”
Bethany had intended to ask Terrence about his relationship with Krista. But she knew Evangeline’s temper. If she wanted Terrence to come and pick them up, it had to be Terrence himself.
It was already 3 am, so it had to be Terrence who went to pick up the person.
Chapter78
It’s not urgent for now, Emery was in the hospital, Terrence will
come over.
Bethany nodded.
Terrence held Bethany’s nape and kissed her forehead.
“Don’t worry, it’s a minor surgery, nothing will happen, I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, Terrence quickly walked away.
On Bethany’s forehead, there still lingered the warmth from his
lips, and his emotions were somewhat in disarray.
