“The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on the right person. Zachary Irwin saw the crowd disperse and he yanked Jane Gardner into his arms.
Then he bent down to examine her.
Jane Gardner pushed Zachary Irwin away slightly as she tapped down two words on her phone, “Thanks.”
Zachary Irwin saw the words and his eyes narrowed slightly.
“This is the kind of thing I’m used to these days, in fact, you don’t have to help me.” Jane Gardner took a deep breath as she wrote down the words again.
Zachary Irwin’s face was complicated for a moment when he saw it.
“I’m sorry I didn’t find you sooner, Jane, don’t leave me again in the future, I’m a walking corpse without you.” Zachary Irwin clasped Jane Gardner’s head and planted his lips on her forehead.
His voice was low and his words were full of fear.
For years, he had been afraid to go to the funeral home, and his heart still hurt when he thought of the image of Jane Gardner turning into a pile of ashes.
Jane Gardner felt Zachary Irwin’s heartbeat, she could feel it, her armor collapsed in a flash.
She gently raised her hand, she also wanted to go out of her way to embrace him, five years, not to see, not to inquire, does not mean forget.
Jane Gardner hooked her lips in a self-deprecating smile, she laughed at her own pathetic ridiculous.
She had only ever loved one person in her life, but this love was engraved into her bones, no matter how long it took, no matter how she cautioned herself not to be together, her heart, but always betrayed her.
Jane Gardner knew it didn’t matter what she said or did, what mattered was what Zachary Irwin wanted.
So she said nothing, just pushed him away and told him Steven Irwin was still waiting.
When they returned to find Steven Irwin, Steven Irwin was already surrounded by a group of fan girls and fan girls.
“Wow, this kid is so delicate and beautiful, come on, take a few more shots for screensavers.”
“What to do, he’s really cute, I want to steal him home.”
“Little brother, this is my favorite lollipop, it’s for you!”
Steven Irwin looked indifferently at the people surrounding him, and he didn’t move a muscle, only growing impatient between his eyebrows.
It wasn’t until Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin approached that he spread his little legs and walked toward them.
“Mommy, want a hug.” Steven Irwin ignored Zachary Irwin and walked towards Jane Gardner, grabbing her pant leg and reaching out to look at her with innocent and cute eyes.
Jane Gardner couldn’t resist bending down and picking him up.
“Auntie, I want to hug too, I like my little brother, I want to play with my little brother.” The little girl who just gave Steven Irwin a lollipop saw Jane Gardner and also reached out for a hug.
Jane Gardner saw her come over and shivered hard, and her face turned white as fast as the eye could see.
“No, I can’t hug you.” Jane Gardner waved her hand to refuse the little girl, and the person also unconsciously took a step back.
“Woo, woo, woo, I want my little brother, I just want my little brother, hug, I want to hug …” the little girl saw Jane Gardner did not hug himself, directly loudly cried up.
The side of crying also towards Jane Gardner to reach out to hug.
“Sorry, my daughter is too much like your child, can you please also hug her, just a little, she does not cry I immediately take her away.” The little girl’s mother saw the little girl crying, she hurriedly coaxed her, but no matter how she coaxed, the little girl still kept crying.
Her eyes, too, were always fixed on Steven Irwin.
Jane Gardner looked at the little girl’s mother, and she held back her discomfort and reached out to hug the little girl.
But just as the little girl was about to reach her, Jane Gardner shoved Steven Irwin into Zachary Irwin’s arms and turned around to hug the trash can and vomited hard.
“Mommy, it seems like she’s scared of the baby.” Steven Irwin looked at Jane Gardner, who also looked bad when he recalled their first meeting, and he realized that something was not simple.
Zachary Irwin carried Steven Irwin to Jane Gardner’s side, his eyes dark and deep, “Better? Have a drink of water first.”
Jane Gardner took Zachary Irwin’s water, and she drank most of the bottle, finally suppressing the sick feeling.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you weren’t feeling well, I’m sorry we interrupted.” The little girl’s mother also came over and said guiltily.
“It has nothing to do with you guys, it’s my own problem.” Jane Gardner signaled and forced a smile.
Steven Irwin saw the little girl’s mother’s dumbfounded face as he coldly translated for her.
After leaving the playground, Jane Gardner’s condition then gradually improved.
Steven Irwin was alone with his tablet, searching some information on it, “Mommy, do you have a child phobia?”
Half a day later, Steven Irwin finished searching the information, he closed the tablet and looked at Jane Gardner like a small adult.
“How do you know?” Jane Gardner has never seen a doctor, but she knows her own body well. Every time a child comes a little close to her, she gets uncomfortable, and as soon as the child leaves, she gets better.
“Why are you afraid of children? Is it possible that you don’t like me that much? If you don’t love me, why did you give birth to me in the first place?” Steven Irwin had been acting warm and happy after meeting Jane Gardner.
At this moment, he questioned Jane Gardner’s appearance, mature and heartbreaking.
His own eyes had tears in them, only, he stubbornly gritted his teeth and wiped them away with the back of his hand.
“That’s not true, I don’t dislike you, on the contrary, I like you a lot.” Jane Gardner didn’t know who Steven Irwin’s real mother was, much less why he identified himself as her mother, and she didn’t want to hurt him.
“Do you really think I’m stupid? The fear and dread in your eyes was so obvious when you first met me… Adults are liars, you are all liars!” Steven Irwin looked at Jane Gardner with indignation and put his small hand on the car door, “Zachary Irwin, stop the car right now or I’ll jump!”
“Steven Irwin, who gave you permission to talk to your mommy like that! Apologize now!” Zachary Irwin really didn’t know Jane Gardner had this disease, he remembered the past and guessed more or less what caused Jane Gardner’s illness.
He didn’t blame Jane Gardner, and Steven Irwin was in no position to do so.
The one who loves him the most in this world is Jane Gardner.
“Want the little master to apologize? Don’t even think about it!” Steven Irwin hands around his chest, he unbuckled the child seat belt, and then raw climb from the back seat back to the passenger seat.
Zachary Irwin saw Steven Irwin’s persistence and he pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Then he opened the passenger door, picked Steven Irwin up like a chicken, and spanked him upside down.
“I’m asking you one last time, are you going to apologize?”
“…” Steven Irwin gritted his teeth as he held his head to the other side.
Zachary Irwin saw Steven Irwin’s firm attitude, he raised his hand to hit down.
Finally his hand landed on the back of Jane Gardner’s hand.
“Mommy …” Steven Irwin saw Jane Gardner was hit, he knew Zachary Irwin is always strong, hitting people is very painful, he looked at Jane Gardner, his eyes were tinged with tears. His eyes were stained with tears.
Jane Gardner did not say a word, she took Steven Irwin into her arms.
Her chin rested on the top of his head and she closed her eyes.
She told Steven Irwin by her actions that she was really not afraid of him and really liked him.
Steven Irwin gradually quieted down, and he gradually understood Jane Gardner’s meaning.
“Mommy, I’m sorry, just now, I shouldn’t have talked to you like that.” Steven Irwin huffed, he turned around, a pair of small hands cupped Jane Gardner’s face, full of seriousness, “Mommy, you want to say that you are still afraid of children, but no longer afraid of me, is that right?”
Jane Gardner nodded, she was indeed not afraid of Steven Irwin.
“Mommy, I love you! Don’t worry, I will find a way to cure you!” Steven Irwin was so excited just now, just saying out what was in his heart all these years.
Although he was small, he was precocious and had his own perceptions about many things.
He cares most about Jane Gardner, so he cannot accept that the person he loves most is afraid of him.
In some ways, he is like Zachary Irwin.
