At this time, Shirley and Anna had already undergone a full-body examination at the hospital under the family's name. After confirming that Shirley was fine, Shirley and Anna finally relaxed.Shirley was worried about what she was drinking, so she suggested to have the doctor check it for her. When the doctor told her it was just a glass of water, Shirley also felt a flicker of doubt in her heart.Who secretly saved her?And why did Keith show up at such a timely moment?Could it be...Shirley's thoughts were interrupted by Anna, who wiped away her tears and said, "Shirley, it's all Mom's fault. Mom has only caused trouble for you! You're such a foolish child. Why didn't you tell Mom about your situation with Rose earlier? Then Mom wouldn't have fallen for it!"Shirley felt guilty and self-blamed as well.Yeah, if she hadn't been stubbornly keeping these secrets, Mom wouldn't have gone through this undeserved suffering.It's all her fault for being so careless!"I'm sorry, Mom, it's a
Keith said to Shirley, "Since you're all fine, let's leave the hospital. It's your mom's first time in T City, so she should stay a few more days. During these days, let Mom accompany you and go wherever you want to go, as long as you stay safe. Got it?"Shirley's eyes lit up, nodding happily. She had wished for this for a long time.After studying and working in T City for so long, she wanted her mom to see and experience everything too.Even though her mom's visit was sudden, now that she was here, Shirley couldn't let her mom leave easily.In the past, her mom always had excuses about family matters, taking care of Grandma Wright, Mr. Wright, or the farm work.Now that they were free from all that, they could finally enjoy their own time.Shirley was determined to explore the city with her mom.Seeing Shirley happy, Keith felt a warmth in his heart.Tony came in and handed Shirley a stack of cards."What's this?" Shirley asked curiously.Tony smiled and explained, "These are the me
The call connected quickly.Shirley directly spoke into the phone, "Mr. Rupert, sorry to bother you."Rupert held the phone, looking surprised. Shirley's tone... so angry!"What's wrong, Shirley?" Rupert calmly responded, "Who made you unhappy?""I heard you have a meeting with someone this afternoon, a woman?" Shirley calmly looked at Molly sitting there and said, "What's your relationship with her?"Rupert was taken aback but still answered Shirley's question, "She's a girl introduced by my aunt."Shirley stretched out her voice and continued, "Oh... she just called me a country bumpkin."Rupert was taken aback and immediately said, "Where are you? I'll come over right away!""LJ Store." Shirley answered directly, "But I don't have time to wait for you here. I need to accompany my mom for some shopping. This lady is currently getting styled at the LJ Store, preparing to meet you at noon. I decided to move up your meeting, hope you don't mind. Alright, I've informed you, bye!""I'll
Anna noticed that Shirley had a somewhat odd expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"Shirley completely pushed away the strange thoughts from her mind and smiled, shaking her head. "Nothing, we can eat now. Mom, try this, it tastes really good!"Even before Shirley could start, Alan had already pushed the dishes Shirley ordered in front of Anna.Anna took a bite and felt a sweetness in her heart. Even though Shirley wasn't her biological daughter, she was so considerate.At that moment, Alan suddenly whispered, "Madam, look over there at that lady. Why is she staring at you like that?"Shirley looked up and happened to see the middle-aged woman she accidentally bumped into in the restroom...Mrs. Moore didn't expect Shirley to look at her. She suddenly panicked and quickly shifted her gaze, but tears welled up in her eyes.Shirley felt frustrated. Did she look frightening? Did she make others cry?Gloria had her back turned to Shirley, so Shirley didn't know that the wom
Shirley accompanied Anna to a comfortable place in the afternoon to drink coffee and enjoy the sun while getting a relaxing massage.Anna was experiencing this kind of comfortable life for the first time and felt like everything was unreal.Just as the two were happily talking about Shirley's childhood, the abrupt and harsh ringing of the phone interrupted their conversation.Annoyed, Shirley reached out and grabbed the phone, glancing at the screen. Her expression froze.It was Robert Wright!Shirley quickly glanced at Anna, then answered the call. Before she could speak, Robert Wright's voice came from the other end, "Shirley, is your mom with you?""What do you want?" Shirley's voice couldn't hide her coldness.Shirley's words made Robert Wright on the other end of the phone silent for a moment. Then he clumsily said, "I called your mom, but I couldn't reach her."Shirley raised an eyebrow and looked at Anna. She stood up from the sun lounger and walked to the side to have the conv
Shirley placed her hand on her belly, her face filled with a peaceful smile.After thinking for a moment, Shirley said, "But my mom..."Before Shirley could finish her sentence, Anna sitting next to them immediately spoke up, "I've been out for two days, it's time for me to go back. I didn't even take time off from work at home! Don't worry about me, I'm still young and capable of taking care of myself! And our cats and dogs at home, no one's there to look after them. You go ahead with Keith, I'll be fine."Keith also heard Anna's words and became even more satisfied with his mother-in-law."Since there are matters that can't be put off at home, I'll arrange for someone to send Mom back." Keith said, "The wedding is the day after tomorrow, we'll depart tomorrow, a day in advance."Seeing her mom really eager to go back, Shirley could only nod and say into the phone, "Alright then, we'll be back later in the evening. I'll bring some things for Mom.""Great. Give me a call when you're h
The next day, just as the sun was rising, Shirley got up to help Anna pack her things.A car was already waiting at the door.Keith not only arranged a car for Anna, but also brought a small truck to carry all the appliances and clothes that Shirley had bought for Anna.Shirley stood at the door, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Mom, I'll come to see you in a few days!""Take good care of yourself and don't bother coming to see me! I'll come to see you when the baby is born!" Anna waved at Shirley continuously. "Shirley, take care of yourself! Have a good life with Keith!""I know, Mom!" Shirley choked back tears. "Remember to call me when you get home!""I know, I know! Now go!" Anna waved goodbye.Keith stood by Shirley's side, smiling as he watched Anna leave.Shirley didn't stop watching until the convoy was out of sight.Keith gently wrapped his arm around Shirley's shoulder and said, "Well, T City isn't far from your hometown. We can go back often."Sniffling, Shirley re
Evan looked at Keith sympathetically and patted his shoulder, "I'm sorry, I didn't know she would come. I didn't expect Hannah to send her a separate invitation, and I never thought Hannah knew her..."Hannah is Evan's newlywed wife, a regular music teacher at a college.Keith quickly adjusted his posture, but he couldn't conceal his emotions in his eyes."If you still haven't forgotten about her..." Evan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lillian has changed a lot during this time, and what happened back then...""The past is the past, and we can't go back," Keith interrupted Evan's words with a firm tone. "I am married now, and about to become a father. Let's not bring up everything from the past!""Alright, whatever decision you make, I'll support you," Evan patted Keith's shoulder and said. "Regarding this matter, do you plan to explain it to your wife?""It's not necessary," Keith bluntly replied. "It didn't really mean anything."Shirley was being attentively taken care of and wa
