Chapter 1836
This woman was squirming and struggling like mad throughout the whole thing.
She was so skinny and frail, yet a bunch of grown-ups had trouble restraining her.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
In the chaos, an elderly woman with swollen, red eyes was crying and apologizing to Erica. Then, the crowd camed the woman and quickly headed towards the depths of the monastery.
Erica was still in shock.
She paused for a moment, then crouched down to ask Mary, “Did you hurt yourself when you fe Mary had taken a hard fall, she must be in pain.
Knowing Mary, she would definitely say she wasn’t
But..
Seeing Erica’s worried face, Mary’s nose started to sting and tears fell from her eyes, “It hurts!”
“Are you in a lot of pain? Let’s go to the hospital to get you checked out, just in case you broke something!”
Growing as she was, if Mary had injured her tailbone or spine, that’d be a big problem!
“It’s okay!” Mary shook her head, “It’s not that bad”
“No way, we’re going! My car’s parked just outside, it’ll be quick!” Erica said, then turned to a familiar nun, “Sister, Mary took a hard fall and I’m worried she might’ve broken something. I’m taking her to the
hospital. If anyone asks, can you let them know?”
After saying goodbye, Erica took Mary to the hospital without hesitation.
After a few hours of hustle and bustle, they were finally done. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thank god your bones are fine!” Erica breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Mary, “But the doctor said you’re a bit short for your age. I got you some supplements. You need to take them every day, got it?”
Mary had been sitting quietly in the comer all afternoon, drinking two bottles of milk and eating three packs of teddy bear cookies.
Just watching Erica rushing around made her feel good.
The waiting room was full of kids, most her age.
But none of their moms were as pretty as Erica.
Even the wind smelled good where Erica had been.
No wonder Larkin had given up on his monastic life to pursue the secular world..
“Are you listening to me? What are you daydreaming about? Did you hit your head when you fell?” Erica had been talking for a while, but Mary hadn’t responded.
She tapped Mary’s forehead with her hand.
Mary snapped back to reality, “What did you say?”
Erica was at a loss for words.
“Never mind, let’s go home!” With that, she took Mary by the hand.
Mary’s butt still hurt, but as they left the hospital, she held her head high.
She felt like all the other kids were looking at her with envy. They must be so jealous that she had such a gentle and beautiful mom!
As they left the hospital, Erica saw the Prior and Larkin.
“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here!”
Erica and Mary spoke at the same time, but their reactions were quite different
Erica was pleasantly surprised.
Mary was speechless.
