Chapter 727 Talk About The Child
A sweet sensation welled up in Eva's heart. She had been waiting for Jay to come. How could she fall asleep knowing that he would be here today?
Helpless, Pam closed her eyes. She had no other choice now but to open the door for the family behind her. The family who could possibly break her daughter's heart. "Please come in."
Shock was written all over Eva's eyes as soon as her eyes fell on Doris and Ace.
At that moment, Eva could only bite her lower lip. She didn't know how to react or what to say.
"Eva, we've met each other before. I'm Doris, Jay's wife. This is our son, Ace. Mrs. Su said she wanted to talk to Jay tonight, so we came. We didn't disturb you, did we?" It was Doris who first broke the ice. She gave Eva a smile to let her know that she didn't have any bad intention.
Finally, Eva smiled awkwardly and said, "No. How could it be? It's my mother's fault. She didn't tell me earlier. I'm still sitting on the bed. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. We are not outsiders. Am I right, Ace? Ace, call Auntie. This is Auntie Eva!" Holding Ace in her arms, Doris approached Eva.
As if he understood what his mother said, Ace reached out his little hand to touch Eva's face, and then he made cute babbling sounds.
With a smile, Eva held his soft hand and kissed it.
"Ace looks a lot like his father."
"Yes, everyone said so!" Doris echoed with a smile.
Slowly, she put Ace on Eva's lap.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
While Doris was doing this, Eva took the opportunity to look at Jay. There were mixed emotions in her eyes. It felt as if she was wronged and had a lot to say but she couldn't.
"Eva, children are very cute. But sometimes, they are really handful. They wake up in the middle of the night and cry when they are hungry. Well, since the day Doris gave birth to Ace, her full attention has been dedicated to him," Jay said.
His words were simple, but they contained too much implication. By this, he confirmed Doris' identity as his wife in front of Eva. Then he comforted Doris, who had been indeed tired all the time after giving birth to Ace.
Staring at her daughter, Pam felt nervous. She feared that Eva would lose control.
Everyone saw how her hands trembled when she heard what Jay said.
What scared Doris most was that she was still holding Ace. She could only hope that Eva wouldn't drop him.
Just as Doris was about to reach out her hand to take Ace back, his little hand touched Eva's pursed lips. He pinched them hard, and his soft fingertips scratched them. It felt itchy, but it made her smile.
"Little guy, what are you doing?" To her amusement, Ace smiled too.
This scene lifted the heavy atmosphere.
It was only then that Pam managed to breathe out a sigh of relief. "Jay, let's go downstairs and talk about the investment."
It was better for him not to be in such a scene. In that way, Doris could have a good talk with Eva.
"Okay."
When Pam and Jay left, Eva felt dejected. But it only lasted for a few seconds, because of Ace.
The two women began to talk, and their conversation revolved mostly around Ace. Eva asked Doris how old he was, what he liked to eat and what he liked to play.
Talking about children was an eternal topic for women.
So, with the presence of Ace, Doris chatted happily with Eva.
Meanwhile, things were not going well in Charles' house. It was cold and empty without Nancy.
The two kids sat on the sofa and watched Charles who was silently cooking in the kitchen.
"Mommy doesn't want us anymore. She didn't tell us where she went, and she's not answering our call anymore. Maybe she doesn't really want us," said Nadia.
"Nadia, do you think Mommy loves us?" This was the first time that Bobby felt so uncertain. He was now beginning to question Nancy's love for them. If she loved them, how could she leave so easily?
No matter how smart Bobby and Nadia were, they were still children. How could they understand Nancy's helplessness?
It was not her choice to leave. Frederic asked her to, and she couldn't stay.
Although Nadia was also sad, she still nodded her head vigorously as a response. "Yes, of course Mommy loves us. Otherwise, she wouldn't have accompanied us. She made us food, told us stories, and washed our clothes. I love Mommy so much. Where did she go?"
Tears welled up in her eyes.
With a sigh, Bobby said, "Don't worry, Nadia. Mommy may come back soon."
"How about you, Bobby? Do you miss Mommy too?" As she spoke, Nadia wiped her tears.
"Yes..."
"Do you think Mommy misses us too?" Nadia asked again.
"I..." Could Bobby tell her that he was not sure now? Their mother was like the wind, staying in their little lives for a while, and left as she liked. Would she even come back?
Sadness crossed Bobby's eyes.
He was depressed, but his father looked more depressed than him.
'What should I do?'
If they only knew that they never left Nancy's mind. How could she not care about the children? Before she left, she had prepared the children's clothes. However, she still wasn't at ease. She was worried about Nadia's stomach, Bobby's naughtiness and so on. She was afraid that Charles couldn't take good care of them.
When she was with Charles, she thought that he was very considerate to the children, but now that she left, there were all kinds of concerns.
Although her phone was powered off, she still checked it from time to time.
In the end, she decided to remove the SIM card. Then she took a hot shower and went to bed early.
The next day, she was awakened by a knock on the door, which made her frown.
Who would come to her room at this time?
Room service? It was too early.
The person kept knocking on the door, so Nancy got out of the bed lazily to see who it was.
Surprisingly, Rick appeared at the door with a bunch of roses in his hands. "Good morning, Nancy."
"Rick, why are you here?" His appearance made Nancy panic a little. She rubbed her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, the news that you left the municipal hospital is so sensational that everyone knows it now. I called you but I didn't get through. I found you here. Have you forgotten that my hospital is just around the corner? Why didn't you go to me first instead of coming here?" There was a hint of accusation in Rick's voice, but his eyes were gentle.
At this moment, Nancy didn't know what to say. To be honest, she just wanted to calm down and think about what she should do next.
Falling in love and entering a new relationship never crossed her mind.
Why did Rick come here now? Well, it was obvious that he came to pursue her.
"I'm sorry, Rick. I just want to be alone for a while, so I didn't go to see you. Besides, I am not suitable to work in your hospital. You're running a psychiatric hospital, and I'm a pediatrician..."
Before she could finish her words, Rick interrupted her. "Nancy, I don't like what you said. Do you think that only adults need mental treatment? Well, even if most of the patients in our hospital are adults, people with mental disorders can't control themselves. They often hurt themselves, especially children. They often do something to harm themselves. So, what I need most now is a surgeon. In other words, I need your help, Nancy."
