Chapter 85
“Stop moving around!” Meredith grabbed his hand in disgust and wished that she could let go of him, but at the same time, she was worried that someone else from the Fowler Family would see it.
Confused by her sudden change in attitude, Jameson was shocked. The next moment, his stomach churned, causing him to throw up the soup he had just taken, covering her with vomit all over.
Screaming, she threw him back onto the bed, resulting in a loud thud. Then, she stared at the mess on her outfit and almost puked as well in disgust.
After he was thrown onto the bed, Jameson felt even worse, and he appeared confused by Meredith’s action. Even in the bed, he still continued throwing up until he got every single drop of soup out of his stomach.
Staring helplessly at the disaster, she stomped her feet in irritation. Did the heavens send him to me just to give me hell?
At the door, Helen quietly observed the drastic changes between mother and son. Later, she went downstairs and stayed there to wait for John.
Last night, after getting a call about Jameson’s condition, John hurriedly packed and rushed home. However, it took him some time because he was outstation. The moment he entered the house, he called out for his grandson. “Where’s Jamie? How is he doing?”
Helen went up to him and calmed him down. “Don’t worry. Everything is fine now. This morning, his fever went down and he had some appetite. Meredith is now looking after him.”
“Meredith?”
“Yes! I called her last night and she arrived right away. She stayed beside Jamie’s bed for the entire night and cradled him to sleep in her arms. Jamie clings to her. As expected, kids naturally seek for
their mothers. Don’t head upstairs yet. Jamie is now cuddling with her and refuses to leave, but it’s understandable since he doesn’t get a lot of time with her.”
At that moment, Helen looked a little wistful and added, “Come to think of it, the twins are quite pitiful. Pierre has always been busy and Meredith has never been around much ever since they were born.”
John sank into a reverie after hearing her comment.
On the other hand, Selena decided to go on a ‘strike’ after going through a torturous night.
Under Pierre’s iron-fisted rule, the company still failed to see any progress. Hence, she had given up and sent a text to the group chat, granting extended leaves to her team.
After sending Juniper to preschool, she went home and prepared to nap. To her annoyance, however, when she was all changed and ready to sleep, the doorbell buzzed.
“Who is it? It’s still early in the morning! How annoying!” She was a little short-tempered because she had not been sleeping well for the past few nights.
Despite that, the doorbell continuously sounded, so she had no choice but to go downstairs and open the door.
“Who is it?” She opened the door and yelled at the person.
When she finally recognized her guest, her eyes widened in surprise.
“Darling!” Selena instantly flung herself into the arms of her bestie in Springvale, Jude Knight. Jude’s wavy hair perfectly framed her lovely face, and her phoenix eyes added to her elegance. She gave off a cold and distant vibe, creating a sense of regality about her.
“This is not the right time! I almost froze to death!” She pushed Selena away with one hand and walked right into the house.
Selena followed her closely while bringing her luggage in behind her. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, Jude scanned the house and nodded in approval. “Not bad. You are doing well as a mother. Thank goodness you did not deprive my goddaughter of a decent life.”
Selena pouted at her friend. “You make me sound like a stepmother! But Jude, why did you show up suddenly? Are you here for filming?”
Jude took a seat on the sofa and made herself at home. “I’m thirsty.”
“Understood, Your Highness! I will get a drink for you!” Then, Selena poured Jude a glass of water, in which she added a slice of lemon. She handed Jude the glass and even gave her a heat patch.
When the two besties met, they naturally had a lot of tea to spill. Indeed, Selena had a lot of thoughts that she poured out to Jude, including her first encounter with Pierre Fowler.
