“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
Clara was weak and wanted to give up. But when she thinks of her mother, she also thinks that she has to fight. She has to live for her mother.In Clara’s mother’s room, the lady was trying to get up, but she couldn’t. Her chest is also tight, and she is almost catching up with her own breathing.“Aunty, don’t force it.” Tasya worriedly stopped the lady. She heard everything that happened earlier and felt sorry for the mother and daughter.“My dear, you seem to have mercy; help my daughter!”Tasya cried when she touched the cold palm of the lady. It was just a few minutes before her work time was over. But it seems that she cannot leave the lady now, and she is begging her.“You take this. Save my daughter and my grandchild. You should find that person so that she can help my daughter.”With a trembling hand, she took the piece of paper that the lady was holding, and it had something else on it. She immediately put it in her pocket, even though she could not see its contents.“Please
Tasya breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said the baby was safe but was on oxygen. Clara remained asleep, and her condition became critical. Three hours later, Clara woke up. “Nurse, how is my baby?” Clara asked weakly.“Your baby is fine, but you two need to stay here for a few days.”Clara tearfully thanked the nurse again. She owes her and her baby’s lives to her.“Be strong, and I’ll help you as much as I can.” Tasya smiled at the girl.“How is my mother?” Her throat dried, and she tried to stop herself from crying.“I’m sorry, but your mother chose you whom I should help first. Don’t worry, and I’ll find out about her condition later.”Clara bit her lip hard to stop herself from sobbing. Painful parts of his body ache when he moves. “Please go and see my mom. I’m fine here.”Tasya was forced to leave the girl to visit her mother at another hospital. When Sunshine arrived at the hospital, Beatrix was being taken out of the emergency room. It was awake but slightly pale an
Lita angrily cursed the male nurse who brought Clara to the abandoned room when she was probably missing. She didn’t think that the girl would be able to run away when she was so weak earlier. “Mom, calm down. Even if she goes out to make trouble, she will have a hard time proving that she is the child’s mother. Also, she can’t think of owning the child because all she knows is that she is only a surrogate mother.” Lita blew air out of her mouth and nodded at her daughter. That’s right; another thing is that a woman is just poor. She will prioritize saving herself and may even think of staying away if she is afraid of her. When she did show up, she would make sure to silence her before she could sing. In the other hospital, Clara burst into tears when her mother was probably dead. She was very weak and seemed to have no strength left to continue her life. “They are animals! And heartless! How could they fool me despite what I did to their family?” Tasya rubbed the girl’s arm ou
