Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 216 Past And Future

Three days later, Nicole's mother was transferred to the general ward.

Nicole hadn't slept well for the past three days. Obviously, she looked haggard and thinner.

"Sister, you stay here and look after mom. I'll go buy some porridge. Mom may want to have some when she wakes up." Seeing that his sister was in a bad mental state, Jim put her down on the chair beside the bed, picked up his bag and walked out of the ward.

Nicole, who had stayed up for several days, was slow to react. When she nodded her head and agreed, Jim had left.

Nicole turned her head slowly and stared at her mother lying on the bed, motionless.

In the past three days, she had thought a lot, including high school, University, marriage and divorce, her miserable past, and her black future.

And she also though about Jacob.

If she hadn't met Jacob, she would have been just an ordinary girl who had a normal relationship, or met a scum like Austin, or she wouldn't have met one. She was thinking about that kind of life. What she saw was grey, dull, lifeless and without waves.

And in her memory, only Jacob was colorful and dazzling. He was light. A flying moth darts into the fire. Jacob was the fire. Perhaps in the eyes of others, moths were overconfident, but only moths knew how dazzling the fire was.

When she knew the reason why her mother fainted, she hated both Jacob's mother and even him.

But when Jacob was away these days, Nicole calmed down at one point one. She knew that it was not his fault. And she couldn't live without Jacob.

Swoosh... Judy, who was lying quietly, suddenly let out an uncomfortable gasp. Startled, Nicole stood up all of a sudden.

"…… Mom? " She clenched her fists to suppress the excitement in her heart and called in a low voice.

"Nicole..." Judy slowly opened her eyes and closed them again because they were stung by the light.

Nicole's nose twitched and almost choked with sobs, "yes, it's me. Mom, How are you feeling now?"

Judy didn't answer, but shook her head. Still worried, Nicole rang the bell and called the doctor.

After the examination, the doctor told Nicole that Judy's life was not in danger now. She could stay in the hospital for a few days for infusion and observation, but she must not be emotional.

"Okay, thank you." After sending the doctor away, Nicole returned to her chair and sat down. She gently held Judy's hand and whispered, "Mom, are you hungry or thirsty? Do you want some water?"

"No..." Judy still closed her eyes. She lay on the bed for a while and asked, "where is Jim?"

"Jim thought you would have something to eat when you woke up. So he went downstairs to buy something. He might be back soon." Nicole answered nervously. She was afraid that her mother would ask something about Jacob.

But maybe Judy was too weak, or maybe she was in a bad mood, she did not ask a word.

Therefore, Nicole didn't feel relieved until Jim came back.

"Jim, you company mom. I'll ask the doctor about the infusion." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"…… I... " Seeing his sister walk out of the ward quickly, Jim felt a little helpless. He turned his head again and found that his mother opened her eyes and was watching his sister leave the door.

Jim was too young to think too much, so he didn't know the entanglement between the Du family and the Gu family. He just saw that his mother and sister seemed to be in conflict, so he wanted to help them reconcile.

"Mom, drink some water." Jim picked up the cold water, inserted a straw, and pointed it at Judy's mouth.

Judy didn't want to drink it at first, but when she saw her son was so obedient, she opened her mouth cooperatively.

While feeding the water, Jim said on purpose, "Mom, Sister hasn't slept much these days when you were sick. She has been waiting for you."

"……" Judy left the straw, turned to look at Jim and asked softly, "Was your sister coming alone?"

Jim didn't expect his mother to ask this question.

When he was stunned, Judy knew that Nicole must not come alone.

As for who she came with, she didn't need to ask.

"Mom, don't think about anything else. Have a good rest. By the way, would you like some porridge? I just bought it for you. It's still warm. " Seeing his mother's pale face, Jim quickly changed the topic.

Judy shook her head, "it's okay. I'm not hungry. You can eat. You have lost a lot of weight these days. "

Indeed, she was not hungry. In the ICU these days, she had infusion almost twenty-four hours. She had too much infusion in her body and could not feel the so-called hunger at all.

Jim smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "in fact, I'm not very tired. My sister is very tired. She is really thin."

"Alas."

"Mom, She is really worried about you. She came to the hospital as soon as she knew that you came to hospital. She barely ate these days because she was too worried about you. If I hadn't told him that I was too weak to take care of my mother, she would have eaten less. "

Judy sighed again after Jim's words.

"So, mom, please make up with her. No matter what she did wrong, we are still family, aren't we? "

Judy didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.

Jim didn't know whether his mother had heard him or not, so he had no choice but to sit there helplessly.

After a while, Nicole came back.

"Sister, mother is asleep again." Jim walked over quietly, stopped Nicole at the door and whispered.

Nicole was confused. She walked quietly to the bedside with Jim. Looking at her mother's sleeping face, Nicole felt very sad.

Judy didn't fall asleep at all. The reason why she closed her eyes was that she didn't want to face some unbearable reality.

For example, the arrogant satire from Jacob's mother, and her daughter cheating on her.

"Sister..." Jim pointed at Judy on the bed and then pointed to the outside. He whispered to Nicole, "take care of mom. I'm going to the toilet."

"Okay, go ahead."

After leaving the ward, Jim considerately closed the door and went straight to the bathroom in the corridor. Seeing that the door was still closed, he ran to the nurse desk.

When he ran to the nurse desk, he quickly said to the nurse, "excuse me, can I make a call by this landline?"

"Okay, do it."

Jim thanked him respectfully, took out a business card from his pocket, dialed a number.

Jacob was chatting with his mother and her friends. When he heard the phone call, he took a look at it and answered it suspiciously.

"Hello?"
