A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 961

Leonard was a very dependable person. He coped with all the pressure on his own at all times.

As for Kane, even if he was the person who wanted to seek revenge, he would implicate his daughter in his revenge.

Rae condemned this kind of father!

Just because she didn’t say it, that didn’t mean that she had no opinions on his behavior.

Once she compared the both of them, the difference became more apparent.

Facing the magnanimous and outstanding Leonard, Rae opened her mouth, but she suddenly found that she couldn’t speak. Her throat was in great pain. Her throat was so painful that she choked up and was unable to say anything. In the end, she spoke with a hoarse voice, “Father.”

Leonard patted her hand thoughtfully. Rae was on the verge of tears and got teary-eyed. She started to shed tears, and tears ran down her face. As she couldn’t hold back her tears, she eventually burst into tears.

Rae didn’t know why she was so emotional. But when she saw that Leonard did not blame her, she blamed herself even more.

She started to remember that she had received criticisms from Marcel in the past. He criticized her work attitude because she was too emotional and not meticulous enough. When she recalled the criticisms, Rae only thought that she should have received more criticisms! If she received more criticisms, she might have been more meticulous in her work. The current situation would not have reached a stalemate. She would not have regretted her actions.

Moreover, she was a detective. She shouldn’t have been careless. Due to her carelessness, she donated her blood to Mrs. Baxter without an accurate testing.

At that moment, Rae didn’t blame Kane for treating her cruelly. She only regretted that she was careless and she was not strict with herself.

Suddenly, Rae felt sad and rushed to the bedside. Seeing the pale Mrs. Baxter who was sleeping soundly on the bed, tears blurred Rae’s eyes. With her blurry vision, she reached out her trembling fingers and carefully caressed Mrs. Baxter’s cheek. While gently touching her cheek, she choked up and said hoarsely, “Mother, you must get better. I am Rae. I am very worried about you!”

Rae didn’t know why she had said that. She only thought that she needed to say that at that moment.

Mrs. Baxter who was lying on the bed could be her biological mother. Rae didn’t know what kind of emotions she had when she said that. However, she knew that she had the responsibility to help Mrs. Baxter get better. If her words could give Mrs. Baxter strength, she would feel less guilty.

When the doctor was making his rounds, he told them that they should be mentally prepared. The chances of encountering such an infection were rare. Once someone was infected, the possibility of recovery was low. Therefore, they should be mentally prepared for the possibility that Mrs. Baxter would never wake up again. In an instant, Rae burst into tears.

She rested her head on Mrs. Baxter’s bedside and sobbed. It seemed that she considered Mrs. Baxter to be her mother.

As Leonard looked at her sad and regretful expression, he walked up to her, leaned over and comforted her with a hug. He consoled her with a soft voice, “Father will be here, don’t cry, Rae.”

Rae still cried for a while. Finally, she suddenly raised her head and met Leonard’s concerned gaze. She felt grateful and was comforted. She already felt that the unbreakable bonds between the family members of the Baxter family were not vague anymore. They were originally a family and would not grow apart anymore.

She had a father and family members. After realizing that they were her family members, Rae figured it out and smiled. Her eyelashes that were still wet with tears fluttered. Although she had teary eyes, she smiled and didn’t let her tears fall. The corners of her mouth quirked up. One couldn’t help but alleviate her dejection and erase her sorrows and conflicting feelings.

At that moment, Reuben stood by the door of the ward and gazed at Rae. He looked at Rae’s watery eyes and her trembling shoulders while she cried. She was fragile but she was stubborn and refused to bow down to anyone. Seeing Leonard and Rae, which were a father and a daughter, hugging each other, Reuben couldn’t help but turn away. His eyes were slightly wet and were shining with tears.

He came again. After listening to the doctor’s description of Mrs. Baxter’s medical condition, Reuben was still quite worried. Despite Rae’s clear rejection in the morning, Reuben still came!

Perhaps even he himself didn’t know his intentions of coming to the hospital. He stood by the door to see what was happening in the ward.

He noticed that he seemed to feel at peace just by looking at Rae in the distance. He didn’t know why there was always an indescribable feeling of confusion in his mind every time he faced Rae. Rae’s fragile but resilient soul seemed to have touched his heart. Rae’s personality was now completely different from her personality seven years ago. Reuben thought that it was the result of years of experience.

He initially thought that the resilient Rae would never show such a fragile expression. When he saw Rae crying twice today, her expression vaguely showed her sorrows. Paradoxically, her stubbornness and resilience were also visible in her expression. It was precisely this aura that touched his heart. An unknown feeling started creeping into his mind, and eventually, it was beginning to occupy his mind. The feeling was out of control and was getting stronger with each passing moment. Due to this, he always questioned the reasons for his actions.

Rae didn’t know much about medicine so she could only listen to the doctor at that moment.

Rae then remembered to ask the doctor, “Doctor, how do all of you determine that my mother is infected?”

The doctor walked to the bedside, raised Mrs. Baxter’s hand and lifted a bit of her clothes. He showed Rae, “There are rashes here. Just now, blisters also have appeared here. Therefore, we suspect that she is infected due to a blood transfusion! This kind of infection can cause hepatitis B, hepatitis C, sepsis and other blood diseases.”

“How is my wife’s condition?” Leonard asked in a deep voice.

The doctor only said, “We will do our best to treat her!”

At that moment, Reuben who was at the door said to the doctor, “Micah, get your mentor to come and treat Mrs. Baxter together!”

The few of them turned around and saw Reuben at the same time.
