As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Sirena on the other end of the phone fall silent, but even Audrey did not expect her son to say such a clear statement right in front of her!
One must understand…
Her greatest confidence lay in her son’s filial piety.
She thought her son just wanted to make another attempt, but as long as she persisted, he would definitely follow her wishes.
“You don’t need to plan anything in private anymore, it won’t work.”
After saying this, Ulric hung up Sirena’s call.
The atmosphere in the hospital room instantly became silent and dropped to freezing point.
After a long while, Audrey moved her lips, “For that woman, you don’t even care about your mother’s life or death?”
“Mom, I can compromise on other matters.”
“There are no other matters! I just won’t allow that Rosalind to enter the Walters family! It’s either her or me!” Audrey’s emotions became agitated, and before she could finish her words, she started breathing rapidly.
Her heart monitor emitted a piercing sound, and the doctors outside rushed in to provide emergency care.
Ulric furrowed his thick brows and immediately helped the doctors send his mother to the emergency room.
In just a few days, this was already Audrey’s third time being sent in.
Her primary care physician in the country specifically arranged a meeting with Ulric in the emergency room.
“I have repeatedly emphasized that the patient cannot have emotional fluctuations right now. Why must you provoke her?”
Ulric pressed his lips together and remained silent, his tall figure standing stubbornly in front of the bench.
“For the patient to recover, it requires cooperation between doctors and family members. Otherwise, if any accidents happen, the hospital cannot be held responsible.” The doctor didn’t dare to say much more and could only sigh. “Your mother’s condition is really serious. She often has self-harming behaviors. Before I do psychological counseling for her, I always have to play some soothing music first and speak very carefully to avoid triggering her.”
What the doctor said had been mentioned many times by other doctors abroad.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have agreed to consider marrying Sirena at that time.
Back then, he hadn’t met Rosalind again and just wanted to stabilize his mother’s condition first! But now…
He had already gone through great lengths to add Rosalind to the household registry, how could he be willing to give up?
Ulric waited outside the emergency room until his phone suddenly rang.
It was Rosalind!
She rarely took the initiative to contact him.
But at this time, it was probably not good news.
After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button.
“Mr. Walters, are you free tomorrow?”
“No.”
“What about the day after tomorrow?”
Ulric’s thick brows furrowed. He knew what Rosalind wanted to do, even though she hadn’t said it yet.
“I’m very busy lately.”
“Can’t you spare about half an hour? I want to go get the divorce certificate.” Rosalind’s voice was calm, it didn’t sound like she was talking about divorce but rather about the weather!
To this day, she still hadn’t deeply understood Ulric’s persistence.
He knew.
To make Rosalind truly fall in love with him, there was still a long way to go. Marriage was just the first step, there were many more hurdles ahead.
Ulric didn’t speak and remained silent.
“Mr. Walters? Ulric?”
“Your mother is making things difficult for you, isn’t she?”
“… No, she’s just angry.”
Ulric raised his hand to rub his forehead. “Can you arrange for me to meet with her?”
