He never showed her the engraved jade, but it came to her in a roundabout way, to Orion.
In fact … he had come to see Orion before he lost contact, he must have come back because he still can’t let go of many things and many people. He must not just abandon her and Orion.
When Dolly brought Orion back to the Otto’s, their eyes became moist at the moment they saw him, and Dolly silently turned around, holding back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, hired a taxi and told the driver to drive towards the sea.
Whether or not Brayden can be found, at least she has to try, care about a person’s highest level is probably whatever will be hopelessly reminiscent of him, wanting to put his footprints all over every place he has gone.
People are always full of disdain and disregard for the things they have when they have them, and when something happens, they will think of the good things they once had, and everything they once cared about will be the most precious things in their memories.
The sound of waves, waves of waves towards the shore, white waves like flowers adorned around the cream cake, there is no one on the coast, only a sparse single shape, Dolly these days run more places, and not how to rest, now see such a sea, the heart is really a lot of peace.
Dolly was sitting on the shore against a reef, Brayden did not appear in her view, just as she was leaning against this reassuring boulder, listening to the sound of the waves was about to accidentally fall asleep, the phone suddenly rang, in this quiet shore is particularly harsh, like a ray of discord in the beautiful music.
Dolly turned on her cell phone, the caller ID was her mother, she hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Talia’s voice was slowly filled with urgency as she spoke very loudly, her voice echoing in the night air: “Dolly, where are you! You have to come back, something happened to Orion!!!”
The words fell like a huge stone, slamming down, then hitting her heart, heavy enough to call her breathless.
“I’ll be right there!”
It was the best response she could give as a mother at the moment. On the way back, she still kept dialing Brayden, expecting it would be the first call he had received since he had been missing for so many days.
The phone rang for a long time, never heard that familiar voice ringing on the other side of the line, Dolly felt that since she was born until now, never had such a desperate moment as now, while having to rush Brayden to answer the phone, while worrying about Orion not to have anything serious, before she secretly brought Orion out already a big problem, now …
She didn’t dare to think about it at all, and quickly urged the driver, “Master, please drive faster, I really have an emergency.”
Fortunately, near the night traffic is not a lot, the driver is also very cooperative all the way to speed, at the moment is like a million ants in her heart, the so-called anxious head, probably this look.
The moment she stepped into the hospital, she really felt that she simply had to step through the threshold of the hospital all this time, as if there was no one who came to the hospital more diligently than her, right?
In the middle of the familiar floor, in front of the emergency room, Otto was putting his arm around Talia’s shoulders and whispering comforting words to her. It was the tall back standing with his back to her that stood out in contrast to the two of them sitting on the bench.
“Brayden …?”
Her voice was soft, but he heard it, like a slow-motion transition in a movie, he turned around, and then saw her eyes filled with tears, perhaps before there was sadness, sadness, aggravation, but since the moment she saw him, all this, all turned into excitement.
Brayden smiled at her, he really, such a situation can actually laugh out, he is not Orion’s real father ah, she in the heart of the blame Brayden at the same time also in the side of the reproach themselves, also, to this time, she actually have the mood to blame Brayden.
The two people just stood facing each other, no one walked towards anyone, time seemed to be standing still at this moment, our watches no longer moving, the clock on the wall no longer ticking. Our eyes were only on each other.
The doctor in the white coat came out of the clinic while removing the mask.
“Which one of you is Orion Kirkland’s family?”
“Me!”
In unison, the answer came from Dolly and Brayden, who looked at each other, and finally Brayden stepped forward and signed the pen next.
“The child is suffering from acute gastroenteritis, you should not worry, this disease is considered relatively common in small children, and the child’s usual eating habits, as well as the nutrition obtained in the mother, and and family genetic history related to … acute gastroenteritis flare up the child may be very difficult to recover to this disease It is also almost impossible to disappear completely, but as long as the fine tuning, pay attention to diet, you will be able to control to the best.”
The doctor then arranged for some more convalescence and waved them off, telling them to rest assured that they could go home by first thing in the morning.
Otto also wanted to stay and watch his grandchildren, but Talia gave him a quiet wink, signaling to leave their youngsters alone, and the two men left in a hurry on the pretext of paying their bills, leaving them both alone.
“You …”
Still unexpectedly in unison, after two people laughed, although they do not know what they are laughing at, may be this in the experience of right and wrong after the discretion, and the tacit understanding between the couple’s hearts.
“You first. …” Brayden took the lead.
Dolly didn’t push back: “Are you … still going to ask me about the relationship between Jayden and me?”
Brayden didn’t hesitate as he shook his head at Dolly.
“Why?”
Dolly made herself laugh just as soon as her why came out, and she replied to herself, “I shouldn’t ask you why … I’ve thought a lot about it these days, and if we’re really going to go all the way down this road of life together, we have to overcome all our lack of understanding, lack of trust, and lack of understanding. We must achieve a high degree of unity in thought, realm, and values.”
“This is what I think these days, after what happened, I have been questioning you, in fact, later after I really calm down, I realized that I should question, not you, but myself I should question whether I believe you, whether I really agree with your point of view? Instead of just wanting you to give me a good explanation because of this matter, even if I get an explanation what is the use? What I want to believe is you standing in front of me, not just an explanation that you give me.”
