I asked him, “When did I use a golden hoop as an ear spoon?”
“Being the president’s wife of the Fischer group and being blocked by reporters, do you think that the name of Mrs. Fischer of the Fischer family is for fun?”
I can’t help but smile, “You want me to be a fox.”
“Only you have that qualification, don’t you?”
My eyebrow curved and said, “After that, if I am a fox and a tiger, you can’t say that I am inflated anymore.”
He hooked his lips and said nothing.
“Wait for me here for a while, I will go up by myself.”
“Don’t you need me to accompany you?”
“I will just go to the nurse station to ask how much it costs, and I will go down after that.”
He pointed to the rows of benches not far away and said, “I’ll wait for you there.”
“Okay.”
I went to Delia’s ward, found the nurse’s station, and inquired about Delia’s hospitalization expenses.
When the nurse was checking, a surprised voice came from behind her, “Krista…”
I turned around and took a better look at Delia, who pushed the infusion bag and came over.
She said with fog in her eyes, “Are you here to see me? I was just about to ask the nurse when I can be discharged from the hospital. You may not know yet. The Brennan family’s assets have been sealed. I can’t afford to live in the hospital now. If you come one day later, you may not be able to see me here.”
“Miss Krista,” said the nurse at the station, “bed number 26, Delia’s current hospitalization cost is 2, 376 dollars.” She added.
I turned around and said to the nurse, “Okay, I’ll pay more. If the hospitalization expenses are not enough later, you can call me again.”
“All right.”
I ignored Delia behind me and walked in the direction of the elevator.
She hurried after me. “Krista, wait a minute.”
At this time, there are not many people in the elevator.
I stopped and looked at her.
She sighed, “I really appreciate that you can help me pay for my hospitalization. I thought you would never care about me again in my life. These two days, I was held hostage by Brent, and my heart was really scared. When he said he was going to kill me, I really thought a lot. Once upon a time, when I was with your father, your father would never hit me, or even said a heavy word to me, but I don’t know why. At that time, I was always dissatisfied and always felt that your father had a chance to climb higher, and he didn’t work hard. Now I finally understood that it was not because he was not working hard, he is just insisting on doing what he wants to do and what is right. Over the years, I was probably fascinated by ghosts, and I was cheated by Brent, an animal. I… Krista, your mother is sorry for what I did, and even more sorry for your father. Our family was ruined by me. I regret it, Krista… Can you forgive your mother? ”
She said, with tears on her face. She stepped forward and gently grabbed my dress. “Krista, don’t ignore mom, give her a chance to mend her ways, okay?”
I pulled out my sleeve from her hand and only said 10 words, “If I had known today, why should I have started?” I said, and stretched out my hand to press the elevator.
When she heard this, she cried bitterly, let go of my hand and knelt on the ground. “Krista, your mother’s heart is really painful now. Mom really regrets it. I miss your father. I miss him so much.”
The elevator door opened at this time, and I stepped in, turned around, held down the door key with my hand, and looked at her coldly.
“Today’s meeting was an accident. After this, I won’t see you, and I won’t inquire about any news about you. Whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with me. This is my punishment for you instead of my father. But as compensation for your pregnancy and giving birth to me in October, I will have someone give you a pension. After you leave the hospital, you will take the money, go back to your hometown in the countryside, and live your life with your guilt for my dad. ”
She said urgently, “Krista, can you promise your mother one more thing?”
I didn’t move, but the hand that pressed the door opening button didn’t let go.
“After your mother leaves this world, can you bury me with your father? I really want to confess to your father.”
I shook my head lightly. “You are no longer worthy. I will send you… to the cemetery.”
“No…” She shook her head and cried out.
I let go and the elevator door slowly closed, blocking my last meeting with Delia.
I heard that she was discharged from the hospital after staying in the hospital for half a month. But she is like a joke in City A, and she will be poked in the spine wherever she goes. After staying for two days, she packed her bags and went back to her hometown in the countryside to provide for the aged according to my request.
When I got the news, I remitted 300, 000 dollars to her account. That was all my savings.
Looking at the few thousand pieces left in my account, I laughed at myself. Now, I have to work hard. After all, I have become a poor woman now.
These days, I felt that there was something wrong with my health. I don’t always feel much, but these days, I feel sleepy as soon as I arrive at the construction site.
I always oversleep when I take a nap in the RV at noon.
So much so that in the next few days, I had to set the alarm clock.
At noon on Friday, after eating, I was lying in the RV and just fell asleep when my cell phone rang.
I was startled, thought it was an alarm, got up and hung up my mobile phone directly.
But after hanging up, I found that it was wrong. It was only 12:30.
When I lit up the screen, it turned out that Lockie had just called.
I slapped myself on the head speechlessly, and just about to call back, Lockie’s number called again.
I was busy picking up and immediately answered the call. “Lockie, sorry, sorry, I just clicked wrong and accidentally hung up.”
“What do you think of this woman? I told you a week in advance that I would return home today. Didn’t you promise to pick me up?”
I feel guilty. “That… I forgot. I’ll pick you up now.”
He is not happy. “No, I have already taken a taxi. At seven o’clock in the evening, come to the old place to give me a welcome. Dare to forget again, and I will cut you.”
I smiled speechless, “I won’t forget, don’t worry.”
Hanging up the phone, I called Cheney, “Cheney, I’m not going home for dinner tonight.”
“Working overtime again?”
“No, Lockie is returning home today, and I’m going to meet him.”
His voice sank. “What did he come back for?”
“Him? Isn’t this his home? He didn’t tell me what he came back to do. Maybe he stayed abroad enough.”
“He didn’t come back for you?”
I smiled hearing the tone of his voice, “Of course not, for me, he is not so diligent.”
“When will you come home?”
