Noh, Peter, what should we do? This is so ridiculous. How could all this had luck happen to us at
1 rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pain in my head. My mother’s complaints weren’t making it any better and were making it worse.
Morn, could you sit down and stop talking for a while! You’re making my head explode,” I muttered.
My mother took a deep breath, but fortunately she didn’t argue with me and sat down next to me, although her face looked sullen.
“I think if Lizzy doesn’t wake up in five days, we should tell her parents” I said, swall
I couldn’t imagine what Lizzy’s parents would say y if I told them about Lizzy condition I hadn’t seen them in a long time and didn’t remember much about them, but I did remember that her father was a still man and tended to be a bit cynical.
And what about Eva?” my mother asked in a worried whisper. “Have you been able to persuade Leora again!
No” I answered quickly. “But I’ve found a gynecologist who can do it. He’s willing to help even though it’s very expensive.”
My mother’s perfectly drawn eyebrows rose in an annoyed expression. “A gynecologist? Is he good? Are you sure he won’t make Eva go through things we didn’t expect”
Yes, I sad reassuringly. “He was recommended by my subordinates who had used his services and until now the women he helped with abortions have even had other children.”
“Oh, thank goodness,” my mother murmured in a relieved tone. The important thing is that your sister will be safe”
After she has had the operation and is healthy, I will keep a closer eye on Eva. If necessary I will pay a bodyguard to watch her,” I said firmly. “And you too. Mom. I will no longer give you money for shopping at home and I will cut both of your money. I will give you a credit card with a certain limit, so whatever you pay with that card, the report will go to me.”
must be kidding my mother said with a chuckle.
I gave her a sharp look. “No. I’m serious. You guys are out of control and now I’m starting to see that you’ve been lying to me a lot. So, just accepi what I’m going to do, or you and Eva can go back to the old house and I won’t want to knop anything about you guys anymore!”
My mother was stunned, but she didn’t dare to oppose me, maybe because the saw how deep my frown was She lowered her head with pouting
I left her and went into Lizzy’s room. She was still unconscious since giving birth yesterday. My son was healthy and handsome, but Lizzy couldn‘ we him and I felt sorry for her.
Thadn’t given my son any name yet, because I wanted to discuss it with Lizzy too. For some reason, we never talked about naming our child since Lizzy was pregnant, so now, when he was born, I didn’t even have a single name that I thought was suitable for him..
Wake up, hoory, our child will want to meet you soon.” I said while holding Lizzy’s hand.
I wanted for Lizzy for a while, then went out to meet my mother again. She seemed to have just hung up the phone when I came out of the
“Mom, you have to stay here tonight for Lizzy‘” I uid. “I have to take Eva to the doctor’s office who will help her with the surgery, to do an initial check–tip to make sure of her condition”
My mother looked surprised. “Tonight I can’t, Peter, I already have an appointment with my friends. One of them has a birthday today and we’ve agreed to go clubbing together
I looked at my mother sharply. Really, I think, my mother has also started to act like a middle–aged woman who is hungry for validation and wants
none who she hangs out with, the prople she calls her friends, so that almost every night she always has an event to go out of the house
Chrisly: “You stay here and take care of Lizzy, I take care of Eva. Don’t tell me you expect me to take care of everything, give you money Inight, and also work hard like a money–printing machine?”
“Peien Why is at that the way you talk to me is getting more and more rude?” my mother snapped angrily. “I am your mother and you have no right

I felt sad. If only I could do what my mother said. But it was clear that it was impossible and
very
unlikely.
“No” I answered sadly. “Leora is now far, high above us. I think it’s an honor for me if she still wants to talk to me. We have to know our place and not bother her”
“Okay, Mom, stop arguing with me. I have to take Eva to the doctor. Don’t go and leave Lizzy tonight, or I’ll freeze all your savings accounts
My mother fell silent and sat weakly on the chair. I didn’t care about her anymore and Ight immediately.
1 had just gotten out of the elevator in the hospital lobby when I bumped into Leora
I was momentarily stunned, seeing her appearance. She was so elegant in a silk blouse and denim trousers, with the addition of a beautiful scarf formed into a tie, a bag and matching white high heels.
was really very different from when she was still my wife.
Leora’s appearance was really
No more shabby appearance in a simple loose dress, a tired face that sometimes looked as dull as the kitchen towel that was always in her grasp. Leora also always smelled of cooking spices or sometimes the smell of disinfectant so that I was too lazy to get close to her.
Now the scent of her perfume was very refreshing and I could even smell her very nice scent from a distance, before she herself was seen. It was clear, she was wearing expensive or limited edition perfume.
Really, I think I have wasted a real diamond and only now do I really regret it. I didn’t know karma could be this cruel to me.
“Oh. Peter, 1 heard your child was born, Leora said cheerfully, when we passed each other
I didn’t expect her to reprimand me at all and unfortunately, because I wasn’t prepared. I ended up acting awkwardly.
“Congratulations may he grow up to be a healthy child and live up to your expectations,” Leora said again.
“Th–thank you,” I said nervoudy.
“And, Peter, in case you need help with tests and such, I’m proud to say that my hospital is one of the six hospitals with the most complete Laboratory facilities and accurate results in the world,” Leora added proudly.
“What do you mean by that, Leora I asked
nervously.
Leora smiled and shrugged. “It’s okay, just giving you some info, since it seems like your family often comes here. I’m glad, because finally 1 can show that I’m useful in your family’s eyes. I’m the owner of this hospital, where your family was treated and cured properly and I hope that’s enough to make you guys admit that I’m useful, right? I provide health facilities for you to use when needed”
I don’t know, I guess I wish the floor beneath me would open wide and swallow me right now. Leora’s words, which she said with a sweet smile on her lips, stripped my pride.
“Leora, I know that–”
“Well, I’m sorry Mr. Peter, but I’m busy and can’t chat for long. You have to understand, I’m a top executive now, not just a USELESS woman. 5o.
se me. Mr Peter
I watched Leora walk away from me, with agile and energetic steps. Something about that laboratory… I swallowed, remembering my baby boy who I hadn’t had the chance to name yel
