Chapter 97 Mommy, Did You See Daddy?
Joann nodded upon hearing her words.
Martha had let her suffer all the insult, she would just finish her and made her disappear from the world completely!
Hollie took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to Joann.
“Take the money and find a place on the island to stay. Wait for my instructions.”
“Well, I’ll wait for your news.”
Joann took the money and put it into her pocket.
Seeing her like this, Hollie felt even more disgusted with her.
She just hoped that this time, she could get rid of Martha once and for all and make Joann the scapegoat.
…
Late at night, in the dark room, a night light was on.
Martha dreamed of the night again. She was lying on the operating table, the doctors in white coats holding scalpels and the nurses were around her, the dazzling lights stinging her eyes.
The doctor told her that they were just following orders.
She wanted to protect the child in her, but the nurses pinned her tightly. She could not escape at all and could only struggle on the operating table in despair.
“Please…”
Martha shouted in her sleep and suddenly woke up, her forehead covered with sweat.
She would never forget the pain she had experienced four years ago.
At that moment, she was full of despair and didn’t even want to live anymore.
Jimmy was her only motivation of life.
Maybe the child and his mother were really connected.
As soon as she thought of Jimmy, the phone on the nightstand rang.
It was midnight here now, but it should be daytime in the U Country.
The phone call was from Rupert. When Martha saw the familiar number, she was even more anxious.
She answered it and eagerly asked, “What’s wrong? Is Jimmy…”
“Mommy, I’m fine!”
To Martha’s surprise, the person who was speaking on the phone was not Rupert, but her son.
The voice made Martha instantly calm down a lot, and then she showed a faint smile.
“Jimmy.”
“Mommy, I miss you so much!”
Jimmy’s sweet voice soothed Martha’s fear. At the moment, her eyes were full of sweetness and gentleness.
“Jimmy, I miss you too… Why did you suddenly call me? Where is Rupert?”
“Today is a day of celebration for me, and I certainly must call you, Mommy.”
“Mommy, when will you come to see me?”
“Is it your birthday today?”
Martha was confused and asked with a slight frown.
She remembered Jimmy’s birthday, which was not today.
Right after her words, Jimmy answered sweetly.
“Mommy, today is the day I survive my third surgery!”
When Martha heard this, Martha’s eyes widened.
The bitterness surged in her, and she shuddered, but she had to force a smile and said, “Jimmy is the bravest!”
Jimmy’s optimism made her sad.
He was just a four-year-old child, but had been fighting illness constantly and acting as brave as an adult.
Living in this world seemed to be a struggle for him.
From the phone came the boy’s laughter, which made Martha feel much warmer in the cold night.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She leaned against the wall, looking gentle and chatting with her son.
“You needs to eat your meals regularly and listen to Uncle Rupert, okay?”
“When will you come to see me?”
In the current situation, she could not go back home any time soon, let alone going to U Country.
But she could not bear to let Jimmy down, so she had to answer softly, “I have work to do and can’t leave. I will immediately fly over to see you when I have time.”
“Then I’ll wait for you, Mommy.”
“Okay.”
Martha answered softly, feeling sorry for him.
Then there was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and Martha thought Jimmy had hung up, so she whispered, “Jimmy?”
“Mommy, I’m here.”
His son’s sweet voice sounded again and she felt much more relieved.
Usually, she was afraid of receiving phone calls from Rupert, as she was terrified something might have happened to Jimmy.
And when she talking on the phone with her son, she had an unreal feeling.
As long as there was no sound of him on the phone, she would be very uneasy.
A few seconds later, Jimmy’s voice came, with full anticipation.
“Mommy, did you see my daddy?”
