Chapter41
The girl who was always delicate and would get teary–eyed and act coquettish toward him at the slightest bump or bruise had somehow become so strong without him realizing it.
His heart ached.
Before, he thought Valerie was angry because he broke his promise to get married,
But
Valerie even went so far as to hurt herself to leave him….
It seemed she was really angry this time.
Valerie..
The phone in Terrence’s pocket rang
He took it out and found it was a call from Esteban.
Esteban usually used Margaret’s phone to call Terrence.
He rarely used his phone number.
Unless it was an emergency.
He glanced at the lifeless Valerie and picked up the phone.
“Mr. Crawford, when did you come back? Margaret’s health is probably unable to hold on any longer. If we can’t find a suitable kidney source soon, she she won’t live much longer!”
Terrence tightly held his phone and glanced at the motionless Valerie lying on the bed.
She was like a puppet without a soul.
Not even her eyes moved a bit.
Terrence frowned and said, “I will
go back immediately.”
Esteban finally breathed a sigh of relief.“Alright.”
After Terrence hung up the phone, he walked to the edge of the bed.
He held Valerie’s hand.
Her hands were cold as if she had just come out of a cold cellar.
I’ll return to Houston to deal with some matters, and I’ll be back to pick you up as soon as I finish.”
Valerie’s eyelids finally moved.
Although it was fast, Terrence saw the overflowing joy in her eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
In the past, Terrence said he was going out to handle some things.
Valerie was always unhappy.
But now…
Terrence returned to Houston in frustration.
Valerie, however, finally smiled because of his departure.
However, she was indeed in a lot of pain.
During the second dressing change, Valerie grimaced in pain.
The nurse teased her, “You were quite tough when you had your first dressing change, not making a sound. I even thought you might have been
in the military. It’s just a dressing change, which hurts less than stitching. Why are you crying out now?”
