It was as if being enveloped by his scent could make her feel grounded.
“What happened?” Jason looked down and asked.
“I told Kyla about Martin Weiss’s second liver donation today,”
muttered Grace.
“Why did you tell her so soon? Didn’t you say you’d wait a few days?” Jason asked in confusion.
“When I went to see Trista today, Mrs. Corbyn said Kyla went to see Martin Weiss’s attorney to sign the divorce papers, so hurried over. Fortunately, Kyla hadn’t signed it, and I told Kyla about Martin Weiss’s liver donation,” Grace told Jason in detail about what had happened today.
“I don’t know if Kyla will still choose to divorce Martin Weiss, but… she should at least have the right to know. And she should at least know what Martin Weiss has done for her.” “Kyla will probably go to L. City to see Martin Weiss,” said Jason.
“Do you think she’ll go too?” Grace asked.
“She’ll go if she still loves Martin Weiss. By the way, how’s the little one in your belly today? Did they cause you any trouble?” said Jason.
“I’m alright. I didn’t throw up much today. But Mason still seems unwilling to accept me when I picked him and Veronica up from school and sent them home,” said Grace.
She could only say that Mason did not reject her.
“Didn’t the psychologist say it’s related to the child’s childhood experience? In his case, it’s difficult for him to truly trust someone. It’ll be difficult for him to accept a person too,” said Jason.
“But Mason accepted Veronica. Veronica is probably the only person Mason trusts. Fortunately, he has Veronica. Without her, I don’t know how Mason would’ve turned out. Maybe no one could get close to him,” Grace said emotionally.
Jason’s eyes glimmered slightly. ‘Fortunately?”
However, it did not seem right to him. If the child trusted only one person, it was dangerous if one looked at it from another angle.
As a child grew, there would be many changes.
Whether Veronica Barlow would be a curse or a blessing for Mason was unconfirmed.
“Take your time. Mason will trust us and accept us one day.” Jason comforted his wife.
“Yeah.” Grace nodded. Then, she looked down, raised her hand, and caressed her belly. “I’ll take good care of the baby and not let them suffer any danger.”
“I’m sure you can protect the baby well,” Jason said reassuringly.
He would not repeat his mistakes. He would take good care of her and the baby.
At night, Kyla looked at her little daughter, who had fallen asleep once more in her arms. The little one looked smaller than the average full-term baby because she was born prematurel.
She was considered easy to take care of. She basically ate and slept all day. She would wail a little after waking up. Once she fed her, though, she would not make much noise.
Kyla placed the baby carefully in the crib and looked at the daughter she had almost given up her life to give birth to.
She thought she was only risking her life, but… Martin Weiss was the one who risked his life for the baby in the end.
B Gifts Even so, Martin Weiss said nothing and just chose to leave after doing so much.
‘Have I… let him down too many times that he chose to say nothing?”
Her hand slowly touched the place where her liver was. His liver was here. It was the liver he gave her.
She thought she might not have much longer to live, but… he extended her life again.
‘What about me? Am I going to sign the divorce papers as if I don’t know anything? Or…!
Kyla gently looked down at the thought of it. Her hands also clenched slightly as if she was making up her mind.
She came to her mother’s room and gently knocked on the door. “Are you asleep, Mom?”
Mrs. Corbyn opened the room door and saw that her daughter had something to say, so she said, “Come in.”
Kyla entered the room, took a deep breath, and said, “Mom, I’d like to make a trip to L. City, but Trista is still young and has just gotten out of the neonatal care unit. She can’t make such a long trip, so I want Trista to stay here. Can you help take care of her? I won’t take her with me.”
Mrs. Corbyn did not seem surprised that her daughter would say that. “Okay, I’ll look after the two children while you go to L City. But you’re going there alone, and you just got a little better. You should take good care of your health. Bring the medicine the doctor prescribed for you and take them on time!”
“It’s too much trouble for you to take care of two kids yourself. I’m thinking of hiring someone else to help with the housework and other things so that you can take it easy too,” said Kyla.
“Hire someone? Why would you waste the money? I can do it all by myself. I’m old, but I’m not too old to do these things. It’s not too much work. At most, I’ll just close the store for a few days,” said Mrs. Corbyn.
After all, the store had to be restocked regularly. If business. was busy, she might not be able to look after the baby.
“Let’s close the store until I come back, then. But I still think it’ll be better if we hire someone to do the chores…” said Kyla.
“No thanks. I’ll have my hands tied if there’s a stranger in the house.”
“But…”
As the mother and daughter were arguing, a slightly childish.
voice suddenly rang out. “I can take care of Grandma and Tristas. I’ll do the chores.”
“Nelson, why are you…” Kyla looked at her son in surprise. She thought her son had fallen asleep. She had planned to talk to her son about going to L City after discussing it with her mother.
“Mommy, I’ll do the chores after coming home from school every day. I’ll also help Grandma to take care of Tristas. Don’t worry, I’m not a child anymore. I’m a big brother,” Nelson Corbyn spoke like a little adult.
Kyla looked at her son’s behavior. He was still a child, but he had to carry burdens he should not carry at his age!
She owed the child so much!
“Did you hear what we said?” she asked.
Nelson Corbyn nodded. “I know you’re going to look for Daddy, aunt Cummins told me today that Daddy had donated his liver to Mommy a second time.”
It turned out Nelson already knew. Kyla hesitated slightly and said, “Yes, I’m going to see Daddy. You…” She was worried about her son’s reaction. After all, his son had always disliked Martin Weiss.
Although things were better now, she was not sure whether her son accepted Martin Weiss.
“I… don’t hate Daddy, and I think Daddy is brave to have donated his liver to you for the second time,” said Nelson Corbyn.
Even though his daddy had hurt his mommy deeply and he previously hated him, his heart was now filled with gratitude.
If his daddy had not given his mommy his liver, he would have lost her.
Kyla smiled. “Yeah, he’s… a brave man.”
She knew Martin Weiss had already prepared himself to die for her and the baby the moment she became pregnant and decided to give birth to their daughter.
Even though he went through hypnosis to forget his feelings for her afterward, he still made the same choice.
Two days after making arrangements, Kyla took the high-speed train to L City with her suitcase in hand.
She did not have Martin Weiss’s new phone number and could only call the lawyer. “I want to see Martin Weiss and talk to him personally about the divorce.”
“I’m afraid that’s going to be an issue. Mr. Weiss is too busy with work to come to Emerald City,” the lawyer said, feeling troubled.
“That’s fine. I’ll go to L City. I’m already on the high-speed train to L City,” said Kyla.
“What?” The lawyer was shocked. “You’re on the high-speed train to L City?”
“Yes, I should be in L City in three hours if nothing goes wrong. If possible, I hope you can give me his contact information so that I can contact him myself,” said Kyla.
“Well… I’m afraid that’s inconvenient. How about this? I’ll ask Mr. Weiss if he’s willing to talk to you,” the lawyer said and hurriedly ended the phone call.
It was a long time before Kyla received another call from the lawyer. However, the lawyer said that Martin Weiss did not want to see her. He only intended to sign the divorce papers with her through the lawyer. Even if she were in L City, he would not see her.
“Miss Corbyn, why don’t you return to Emerald City? Mr. Weiss said you’re free to suggest any terms for the divorce papers,”
the lawyer said.
