Chapter 1336Ruben said with a smile, “Your son is indeed the best reason for you two to get back together, but you have to think about the whole thing from her standpoint. For the sake of Brad, she has endured this marriage for eight years. It’s not just several months or a couple of years, but eight years!”“To let Brad grow up healthily and happily in a complete family, she has devoted her youth and happiness for so many years...”After saying that, he paused and turned to look at Luke, who was standing opposite.Luke was clearly in a bad mood. His face darkened and he stared back at him with sharp eyes.Pursing his thin lips, Luke wore a sullen expression.Ruben then continued, “You haven’t given her any happiness and care during your marriage, and she is already thirty years old. Do you know a woman’s youth is short-lived?”“If Brad is too young to stand and walk by himself and needs her mother’s care and love, Eileen would never agree to divorce.”“But Brad is eight years old now
Chapter 1337Ruben got her meaning, and he said, “Well, I’ll meet you at the company tomorrow. Have a good rest and you will get well soon.”Then he turned to look at Luke. “Mr. Bennington, please let go of me. Are you still going to grab my collar like this?”With a mocking smile, Luke directly pushed him away.But his mood had lightened a little bit.He was glad that Eileen didn’t ask him to go away.Ruben didn’t seem unhappy. He stretched out his hand and slowly smoothed the folds of his windbreaker. After saying goodbye to Brad, he left.Luke took a deep breath and his chest gradually stopped heaving. “Since you are not feeling well, I’ll take you to the hospital,” he said to Eileen.Eileen’s face darkened, and she pointed at the door with her white and slender fingers. “You also have to leave my room immediately!”Luke was slightly stunned, for he didn’t expect that she would drive him away.A wave of anger crashed through him. “You were so gentle to Ruben just now. Why did you t
Chapter 1338His childish words warmed her heart.She turned off the room light. The mother and son hugged each other, falling asleep.The moon outside the window was rising higher and higher, and the night was getting darker and darker.However, Eileen's body became hot, burning like a stove.She groaned, feeling uncomfortable.Brad slept lightly, aware that his mom was wriggling.He stretched out his short hand and turned on the light.He then saw her face was red. He gently touched her forehead with his palm.Instantly, his eyes widened!It was so hot!Just wrapped in a bath towel, he rolled out of bed, found his cell phone in his schoolbag, and called Luke. "Dad, Mom is running a fever. Her forehead is so hot!"At the sound of his voice, Luke was roused from his sleep. He bounced up, pulled his trousers over, and put them on. "Put on your clothes. I'll be right there!"When he left in the afternoon, she looked unwell. Afraid that no one would take care of her at night,
Chapter 1339The doctor was frightened. On his second try, Eileen instinctively struggled, unwilling to be pricked again.She was almost out of consciousness but could feel the pain in her wrist.She hated that pain.She felt a man's breath on her face. "Don't move. It will be okay soon..."The voice was gentle and affectionate. She had never been pampered like that before. Her heart lurched.She tried hard to open her eyes to see who was speaking to her.However, her eyelids were so heavy as if a stone was pressed on them. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open them....When Eileen woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright.She looked out the window only to find the unfamiliar scenery.In a flash, she lost all her sleepiness!As she was about to sit up, she noticed that she was put on a drip.Shaking her dizzy head, she tried to think back.What the hell happened last night!Brad walked in.She sat up and asked, "What's going on?"Brad replied,
Chapter 1340At first, she was indifferent to what he said.However, in the end, she stopped eating. Her eyes gleamed.If he had said that before, she would have been excited.But now...Unfortunately, they couldn't have their time again."I know that you can't forget what I did to you in the study, but I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't control myself at that time!"The doctor said I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. You only know that Zora died, but you don't know how she died..."Luke got up, sat on the edge of the bed, and faced her.Deeply gazing at her, he slowly explained the cause of Zora's death.Hearing what he said, Eileen couldn't help gripping the spoon. She had never known about it before.That beautiful woman died tragically!She was so pitiful."I always think that if I hadn't sent those photos to Cathy that day, and she hadn't gone to Zora, then the tragedy wouldn't have happened at all!"It's me who killed her. I am the culprit, so
Chapter 1341Her indifference finally enraged Luke.However, he could do nothing with her.She was determined to refuse him.His chest heaved violently. After a moment, he calmed down. He wasn't the person who could control his emotions before. If he lost his temper, a dozen people couldn't defeat him."Have you had enough? If not, I'll go and buy some more. By the way, what do you want to eat at noon? I'll buy it for you."Luke would have gone up the wall if she had treated him like that before.How could he say this to her with such a gentle look?Eileen lowered her eyes.She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she looked calm."The caregiver will bring it for me from the canteen, so I won't trouble you. I almost forgot to thank you."Her polite words easily distanced herself from him.Luke clenched his hands hanging at his sides. He wanted to say something but finally didn't.He was struggling to keep his temper!He left, leaving Eileen alone in the ward.The
Chapter 1342Brad nodded and said, "I'll take care of Mom!" "I have to warn you about one more thing!"Luke narrowed his slender eyes and said in a deep voice, "You have to support me this time! Got it?" "Got it!" Brad answered quickly. After hearing Brad’s answer, Luke said with satisfaction, "Actually, it’s good to have you and your mom together." Brad tilted his head and looked at Luke in confusion.‘What is the benefit of that?’"If you stay with your mom, you are like the radar I put next to your mom. In other words, you are my spy.""I can know what's going on with Ruben and your mom as soon as possible. Besides, you will call me first when your mom is in trouble, then I can help your mom in time just like this time."Luke had his own thought. He believed that women were easily moved by getting timely help.Hearing what Luke said, Brad rubbed his head and asked, "Am I a traitor?" "No, you are a spy." Luke said with a smile.Luke seemed proud to have Brad as a sp
Chapter 1343 With intense curiosity, Eileen opened the photo albums. She found that all these photos were taken when they were in the canyon. She was a little surprised and also astonished when she saw these photos.‘When did he take so many photos?’ In the beginning, Eileen found many photos of Brad, who was either playing around or laughing. Some others were taken when he was splashing water or collecting leaves. Brad was smiling so wide at that time. When turning over this page, Eileen spotted there was a sentence at its bottom, "I hope he can always be so happy and smile like this. Luke." She recognized that it was indeed Luke’s handwriting.His handwriting was just like his character, wild and profound. Eileen's heart seemed to start beating faster. She continued flipping through the album and saw a photo of her. The photo was taken when she was sitting on a rock after she twisted her ankle. And her eyebrows knitted together in pain. Luke had teased her, which anno
