Chapter 365
Chapter 365
After hearing Glenn's words, I was stunned for a moment. Then I smiled, stopped what I was doing, and squatted down. Hugging him in my arms, I said seriously, "Caroline is my sister, twin sister."
"Really?" Blinking his big eyes, Glenn asked curiously, "Then, does she have the same face as yours, Mommy?"
"Yes." I nodded.
"Wow! Can I see her?" Glenn was so excited.
I frowned slightly and showed a face of regret. Pinching Glenn's little face, I told him seriously, "Mommy's sister has gone somewhere pretty far away. For a long while, she won't come back."
"Doesn't that mean I can't see her?" Glenn pouted his tender mouth, looking a little unhappy.
As I was about to say something to make him happy, Lacy's voice came from behind, "Young Master, it's time to have some snacks. It is your favorite chocolate cake today."
I m coming!
Within once second only, Glenn grinned at once, revealing two rows of teeth in his little mouth.
He turned around and walked out of the door.
After Glenn ran away, Shelton leaned against the door and said, "I thought you wouldn't tell him this."
I sat back on the chair again. While checking the small skirt I made just now, I said, "As a parent, I naturally can't lie to my child."
Besides, I didn't want Glenn to be affected by my subjective consciousness.
The children were pure and clean. I didn't want to make him get anything negative from me.
Soon, it was dinnertime.
After eating for a while, I received a phone call from Ryan, saying that he had arrived in City Y and that he needed to know where the mental hospital Jessica stayed right away.
I didn't expect him to arrive so fast!
After I told him the address of the Holy Spirit Hospital, I stopped having dinner quickly and prepared to go out.
Shelton was with me.
Because we were going to a hospital, we didn't take Glenn with us.
As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the Holy Spirit Hospital, I saw Ryan.
It was winter. Standing there, he wore a long-sleeved thin jacket only and a pair of unlined
trousers.
In Town S, his outfit fit. However, in City Y, it would make him extremely cold.
I quickly got off the car and pulled him into the car. Then I couldn't help asking him, "Why did you come here with few clothes on? Fortunately, the weather has been amicable these days. If it snowed, what should you do?"
Ryan rubbed his arms and said nonchalantly, "Alas. I don't even know where I put the thick clothing. And I don't have time to look for it." After that, he asked us, "Where is Jessica?"
"Well be there soon," Shelton answered first.
Upon hearing Shelton's words, Ryan felt at ease.
The car drove to the underground garage of the rehabilitation center. Shelton took us to an elevator there. In the elevator, I found that Ryan was quite nervous.
He kept tidying his clothes and hair. In the end, he took out his cell phone to look at himself into it, saying with a frown, "Hey, do I age?"
Seeing him like this, I was secretly glad. Luckily, Ryan didn't see how Jessica was doing at the Oasis Hospital.
Otherwise, Ryan probably would tear down the hospital.
Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Shelton respectfully, "Dean Shelton."
"Yes." Shelton nodded and asked, "How's Aunty Jessica?"
After Jessica was transferred to the Holy Spirit Hospital, Shelton completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Ryan.
As for this, I didn't raise any objection about it. Because in my opinion, the Reid Family no longer regarded her as a family member.
The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffered from a low-degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."
Standing there, the nurse rold us about the situation of Jessica roughly.
Hearing the ins and outs, Ryan looked serious on the side.
Shelton asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?"
"Yes. But she has fallen asleep. Her condition isn't quite stable. Please try not to wake her up."
If it were someone else saying so, the nurse surely wouldn't allow us to visit Jessica.
However, it was Shelton who raised such a request. However bold the nurse was, she dared not stop him.
After that, the nurse turned around and opened the door for us.
The lights in the ward were turned off.
Seeing that it was a suite, I pulled Shelton and said to Ryan, "Master, my mother is inside. You can go in by yourself. Remember not to wake her up. You can come here to see her every day."
Upon hearing that, Ryan nodded.
He crept into the bedroom on tiptoes.
Standing in front of the door, I saw Ryan stand on the side against the light in the corridor. Seeing that Jessica's hands weren't covered with the quilt properly, he moved her hands and covered them with the quilt properly. After standing there for a while, he turned around and came out.
Over the years, I had never seen Ryan shed tears. When he came out, his eyes were full of tears.
I took out a piece of tissue of my bag and handed it to him.
After we were out of the ward together, Ryan wiped his tears with the tissue, grabbed my hands directly, and said excitedly,
"Janetta, thank you. Thank you for finding her!"
I was stunned. Then I quickly shook my head, "She is my mother. It's what I should do."
"She is so thin and sick, indicating that she suffered a lot over the past few years. Fortunately, you found her. Otherwise... Otherwise. I think she won't live too long." As Ryan grabbed my hands, his hands kept shaking.
Shelton stood behind me without saying a word.
After seeing Jessica, Shelton instructed all the staff here, saying that Ryan was allowed to visit Jessica at any time from now on.
Later, we brought Ryan to a room that we had prepared for him in advance. The room was right in the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital, which was only a few floors away from Jessica's ward.
Ryan had arrived in City Y in a hurry without bringing anything along with him. However, after we entered his room, we found many clothes for men were neatly hung on a hanger. Moreover, most of the clothes were of a casual style which was Ryan's favorite.
On the side, there were some simple daily necessities, cotton slippers, and so on.
As I was in a daze, Ryan turned to Shelton and said, "Shelton, you have done a lot for me."
"It's fine." Shelton had a faint smile on his face, saying, "I know you came to City Y in a rush and that you shouldn't have brought anything with you. So I asked the servants to prepare something for you. If you find anything unsuitable, feel free to tell me. I'll get them to prepare something else for you."
"You don't need to do that. I'll buy the rest by myself." Ryan waved his hands.
Only after we came out of the room did I look at Shelton and said somewhat incredulously, "You are so amazing! How come you even considered these things?"This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
