Chapter 322 Get Drunk
Yolande returned to the hospital. It was late. Austin fell asleep. She walked in lightly, not waking him, and sat down on a stool to look at the man. His face was haggard because of illness. She sat in a daze for a moment. Mona came in and saw that Yolande was sitting there wiping her tears. She sighed and walked over. "Mr. Austin, it's late. Go to bed early."
"Okay, Mona, you can go to bed too." She wiped her face and said in a sobbing voice.
"Okay, I'm going to bed. Mrs. Yolande, go to bed early." Mona couldn't bear to look at her Mr. Austin and left.
She had watched Austin grow up and taken care of him since he was a child. She had a deep feeling for Mr. Austin. Now seeing him so seriously ill, she felt very sorry for him.
After a busy day, Yolande also felt sore all over her body and was very sleepy. She climbed onto the opposite bed and fell asleep directly.
The next day, she woke up and it was already time for work, she stretched and sat up. Austin was still asleep, frowning.
Yolande jumped off the bed, lay on the edge of the bed and touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever. "Wake up, Austin. You've been sleeping for a long time." She lay on him, burying her face in his quilt, muttering.
A few minutes later, the man moved his arm. Yolande felt a pair of big hands caressing the back side of her head and quickly raised her head.
"You finally wake up."
"Yes, I slept for a long time." The man opened his tired eyes and looked at the bedside. The woman looked anxious.
Two days later, it was Yolande's birthday. He had planned to celebrate her birthday very early. She didn't like jewelry, eating and wearing supplies, none of which were required. Originally, Austin had planned to postpone his work to the company's social engagement and ask for a week's leave to take her to Hawaii for a trip. But now, it seemed that these ideas couldn't be realized.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Yolande, happy birthday."
She looked at Austin in a daze. "My birthday?"
"Well, the day after tomorrow. Have you forgotten it?"
Reminded by Austin, she suddenly realized that her birthday would be in two days. She hadn't celebrated her birthday for many years, probably since she married Aron.
Although it had only been three years, Yolande didn't think it was a big deal.
She was moved. This man was so sick and still thinking about her birthday.
"Take care of yourself. Your birthday doesn't matter." She lay on his chest and wrapped her arms around him.
"What do you want?"
In fact, what she wanted most was to be the real Mrs. Yolande. "Well, you don't agree." She murmured.
The man knew what the woman wanted. She had never been a greedy woman. Yolande didn't care about fame and money.
"I just want you." Her voice was muffled and nasal.
"Silly girl, I'm no different from a loser now." He touched her head.
Looking up at him with misty eyes, Yolande covered his mouth and looked fierce. "Don't talk nonsense. I am not."
He raised his hand and held her white and tender hand. "Okay, I won't tell you."
"Okay." She buried her face in his chest again.
After spending an hour with Austin, Yolande went to the company slowly.
Austin's appetite dropped sharply. He only ate half a bowl of porridge a day, and sometimes he didn't even eat a drop of rice a day. She became more and more anxious. She was afraid that the day she was afraid would come soon.
Aron didn't go to work. He sat alone on the floor of his apartment, drinking. There were empty bottles, boxes of instant noodles and cigarette butts all over the floor. His hair was in a mess and his eyes were confused.
The curtains covered the sunshine outside. He sat on the cold floor, looking dispirited.
With the help of alcohol, Aron recalled his own life in the past few years. It could be said that he had a good inspiring image. When she was in college, she worked hard to study, get scholarships, and be the chairman of the student union. All she did was to make herself stronger and leave her parents.
The Gu Family was a big family, and the money of the Gu Family was not even a penny. When Aron was in college, he had to rely on his own ability to stand out.
Aron lacked his father's love since he was a child. Albert had a lot of fun outside, and his mother was submissive and swallowed insult and humiliation for many years. Albert was rich and couldn't give his mother love. He never cared about money and let her spend it. For money, her mother endured it. After all, with Albert's mean character, she might not be able to get much property. It was better to be her rich wife and raise the two children.
Aron had seen his mother being coward and his father being violent since he was a child. When he grew up, he would be independent.
She had always been alienated from her family. Just like Brian, they were also alienated.
When he was 18 years old, he told his parents that he was an adult and didn't need to give him living expenses in the future. He could make money by himself.
"Aron, listen to me. You are still young. You should focus on your study. Don't think about anything else."
"If he wants to do this, just let him be. Don't say anything more." Albert said coldly and walked into the study.
He never liked his son, Aron. He was stubborn, against him and had a strange character. Albert preferred his youngest son, Brian, who was lively and was willing to get close to him and ask for his love.
When Albert died, Aron was starting his own business and the Butler called him. "Mr. Aron, Mr. Albert is dying. He wants to see you."
He refused without hesitation. "I won't see him. Does he want to see his sleeping daughter-in-law for the last time?"
The Gu Family had to hang up the phone.
That afternoon, he was drunk in the bar. When he came back, he saw that Yolande was sleeping in her room. The woman's sleeping face was ruddy. All of a sudden, his blood rushed to his forehead. He pulled the woman's hair and pulled her up from the bed. Yolande winced in pain.
A few days later, Albert passed away. But Aron didn't attend his funeral.
Half a year later, his mother was seriously ill. He was on a business trip in Hongkong. When he received the news, he rushed home and met his mother for the last time.
"Your father is not a good man. Don't be like him in the future."
"That woman doesn't want to live with her. Just divorce her."
After his mother passed away, Aron didn't bury his mother beside Albert. Instead, he arranged another land for her and buried her mother.
They didn't get along well with each other when they were alive, and there was no need for them to be together in another world. ☐☐
