After Aldrin took the basket to one side, he immediately left, and his mother called. Clara’s gaze followed the young man, who turned and left without saying goodbye. The man is handsome, but he seems to have his own world and doesn’t like to talk.“Clara, are you okay here?” Dean asked his friend. “Yes, thank you very much. Please tell your friend to thank you too!”Dean smiled at the girl. “When you need help, just call me.” Dean gave the girl his contact number.Clara thanked the young man again. She has a tenacious memory, especially with numbers, so even if she doesn’t save Dean’s number in her phonebook, she already remembers it.Natasha faced her mother with a smile. Just like her, it also sheds tears while watching her. Today is her wedding day, and she knows that Dark has been bored at the church. “Don’t cry anymore, and your make-up artist is getting tired,” Travis scolded his daughter and his wife.Natasha just laughed and hugged her father. They were reprimanded by him,
“Aren’t you going to dance, bro?” Dean asked his friend while looking at the dance floor.“Do you want me to dance with you?”Dean stopped and looked at his friend, who was also standing next to him. “Jerk!” A little smile formed on Aldrin’s lips, and his friend seemed to want to move away from him. “You’re right there, and I’ll look for Clara; maybe she’s not busy anymore.” Aldrin just nodded at his friend. When a waitress came by, he took a wine glass. It was only right that he was drinking when he caught sight of the girl his friend was looking for. He frowned when he saw a woman shake her shoulder, so he approached.Clara was surprised when two women suddenly blocked her, and they were obviously angry. She didn’t know them, especially, and it was obvious that they were from a wealthy family.“Bitch, what did you do to get so close to Dean?” A woman asked Clara. “Excuse me, but I don’t know why you’re mad at me. I’m just a simple staff here, and I don’t want any trouble,” Clara
Dean pityingly approached the girl when she was no longer with anyone.She looked up when she felt someone else around. When she saw Dean, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. “Sorry, I really didn’t mean to make your friend angry with me.”Dean sighed; he didn’t ask anymore and just offered the girl help. “I’ll give you a ride.”Clara did not refuse the young man’s offer. She can no longer walk alone, and her knees are feeling weak. She seemed to be injured because she no longer had a good job. She had only been on the job for a week, and the salary would have been great, but she was fired immediately.Dean supported the girl until she got into his car. “Where shall I take you?”“In the hospital.” Clara was almost whispering. “My mother is confined to the hospital,” she explained to her friend's questioning look.Dean nodded before starting the car. He feels sorry for the girl and feels that she’s carrying the burden of the world today.“Mom’s disease is getting worse. Leukemia,” she
“How is your mother?” Lita asked Clara.“It hasn’t gotten better yet, and there’s a lot of medicine that needs to be bought.” She answered the lady in tears and prayed that she would help her. It was a miracle that she remembered to ask how her mother was today.“I will help you treat your mother, but on one condition.”Clara looked up with a relieved look. “Really? I’ll do anything as long as you help my mother get better!”Lita smiled and liked the girl’s answer. When she looked at her daughter, she was also smiling. She clears her throat before speaking. “You know now that the company also had problems, right?”Clara nodded. Her mother and Lita’s husband are cousins, but they don’t consider them relatives.“Someone offered our family a large amount of money to get out of debt in exchange for being a surrogate mother.”Confused, Clara looked at the lady and wondered why she was being told that. All of a sudden, they are considered their relatives. What she knows is that Beatrix was
Clara almost fell over when she got inside the car. She was weak from nervousness. She was afraid that she might be discovered to be a different person, plus what was done to her earlier really made her muscles tremble.“The house you’re going to live in is ready, and we’ll take you there now. Don’t take any action first to make sure what’s in your stomach is formed. For follow-up check ups, we’re still set up the same way.” Lita explained it to Clara.“What about Mom? She needs a guard there,” Clara asked worriedly.“I have already paid someone to watch over your mother, so don’t worry about her anymore. When the child in your womb is stable, then I will allow you to visit your mother in the hospital.”“Thank you very much!” Even though she is sad and unable to take care of her mother personally, her heart is at peace. She thought about her mother’s health improvement.“Hide first. Now!” Lita quickly ordered Clara.Clara didn’t ask any more questions and immediately bowed. She was ab
Clara became emotional when her PT result was positive. She is happy and sad at the same time. She doesn’t know, but when she thinks that she won’t be the one to raise the child after it comes out, she feels hurt. “The one in your belly is not your child. You are only a surrogate mother for Beatrix, so her body will not be damaged. Not even a drop of your blood is lying in the veins of the child formed in your belly.” Clara remembered Lita’s words towards her earlier.Clara sighed. Even though she is not the child’s mother, she is still sad. She will also carry the child in her womb for nine months, so it is like her own, even though it is not her blood.What they had set up before was still the same every time Beatrix needed a checkup. She even has an assistant who supports her to make sure her pregnancy goes well. Aldrin looked at the picture his mother had sent him. It’s been more than eight months, and Beatrix’s belly is already big. It is said that the woman does not want to ha
“Mother, please wake up and fight! I’m sorry if I neglected you. They said they would treat you if I did what they asked me to do. But why are you acting like this, mother?” Tasya bit her lip and cried at the scene. The girl’s hands were shaking while she caressed her mother’s cheek. It was pitiful to look at her apart from her mother, who kept her eyes closed.Clara kissed her mother’s cheek while hugging her tightly. “Mom, I’m going to go and charge them. They can’t do this to you! I won’t let them not treat you properly.” She was crying while saying goodbye to her mother.“Miss, calm down, and your pregnancy might be affected,” Tasya’s concerned reminder to the woman.“Thank you; believe me, otherwise, I’m doing everything to get my mom better. But they cheated on me!” Clara clenched her fist and was angry with Beatrix’s family. “I’m sorry for what I said earlier. I just feel so sorry for your mother. Every time she wakes up, she’s looking for you.”Clara started crying again and
“Mom, maybe someone will see us together,” Beatrix complained to her mother.“Don’t ask too many questions and be so nitpicky; come with us to the hospital right now!” She said with a gasp, and her eyes widened at her daughter.Beatrix just followed her mother. Clara got in the car first, and she sat next to her.Clara took a deep breath when suddenly the baby seemed to kick inside her belly. It seems that the baby feels what she feels now as its mother. Upon arriving at the hospital, Clara saw that Lita was talking to a doctor. She didn’t know what they were talking about. She hoped it was for her mother. She entered her mother’s room, and there was no one else there. She burst into tears again and caressed her mother’s cheek.“Daughter…”Clara looked at her mother in shock when she heard her voice. “Mother? It’s good, and you’re awake. I’m sorry if I only visited you now!” She said while caressing her mother’s cheek.“Daughter, take care of your child.” The lady smiled even though
