A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 977

By the time Rae reached the hospital, Mrs Baxter just woke up. She showed Rae a kind smile when she saw Rae. Rae’s eyes turned red when she mentioned Mrs Baxter smiling at her. The first thing that she did in the room was to look at Leonard. He was looking at Rae too with tears in his eyes and even his lips were shivering, “Rae, your mother had woken up!”

Rae quickly went there. She put her bag on the table and rushed to the hospital bed. She was stunned for a moment and she almost could not believe it. Mrs Baxter’s eyes also turned red when she mentioned Rae’s ecstatic expression and it seemed that she still couldn’t believe it. After a while, she blinked her eyes and said a word softly, “Rae…”

“Mum!” Rae was touched and rushed to her instinctively. She grabbed her mother’s hand and buried her face in her mother’s hands. Her tears were spurting out in happiness and surprise.

The warm touch also made Mrs Baxter’s tears gush out at that moment.

How many years had it been? Finally, her long-awaited sweetheart was back!

After seven years, their little sweetheart was back!

Mrs Baxter’s tears were blessed and in happiness.

She and her husband, Leonard were looking at each other and then both of them smiled happily.

Rae wiped off her tears and raised her head. After that, she cried in joy and that was her first time to shout emotionally in front of her parents, “Mum, you really woke up! I thought, I thought that…”

When Rae spoke to that part, she could not control her eyes turning red. Her bright eyes were full of guilt.

How could Mrs Baxter not know it? However, she could not say a word at that moment.

Seeing that both of them were emotional, Leonard came over and spoke to Rae, “Rae, your mum just woke up and she can’t get excited yet!”

Rae understood his words instantly, “I know, I know, I’m just too excited!”

She was speaking a bit incoherently. But soon, she adjusted her emotions and then found that both Leonard and Mrs Baxter were looking at her with kindness in their eyes. Rae was embarrassed at the moment. She smiled at her parents and bowed her head. Then, she stood up again in excitement.

Leonard and Mrs Baxter were smiling and looking at each other.

Rae rushed to the table and opened her bag. She took out a storage bag from it.

Both Leonard and Mrs Baxter were looking at her with surprise. They were a little puzzled by Rae’s action.

Rae opened the storage bag in front of them. The thing inside it was a delicate box. Then, she also opened the box and took out the pair of the Khotan jade pendants from the box. She separated them and gave the jade Goddess to Leonard, “Dad, this is for you. Although this might be the cheapest one compared to all your belongings, it was bought with my salary! This is for mum and it is made of Khotan jade. I really like it and I hope that you all will like it too. Not only that, it also meant good luck for you!”

She gave the jade Goddess to Leonard.

Leonard took it. Rae saw that his hands were slightly trembling. It seemed that he was really excited.

“Fantastic! It was wonderful!” Leonard received it and spoke several good words continuously. He was holding the jade Goddess and then he spoke in excitement and happiness to Mrs Baxter, “Dear, this is the most precious gift we have received. It was invaluable! This is the token of our daughter’s regard, her gift is priceless!”

Rae showed the jade Goddess to Mrs Baxter. She held it and placed it gently in her mother’s hands to let her feel the texture of the jade. Tears flashed in Mrs Baxter’s eyes. Then, her tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes. However, the corners of her lips were curving upward. She was so happy.

Rae felt that her gift was really worthy!

Maybe it could really bring more strength to her parents.

Rae’s heart was overflowing with touching emotion when she looked at them weeping tears of joy. Her parents were happy and healthy. It was the thing that she could do for herself and the Rae who had passed away!

When Rae thought of that many responsibilities and obligations, she felt that the burden on her shoulder was even heavier!

Mrs Baxter’s condition was under control and they even didn’t ask Doctor Stevens’s teacher to come over to treat her. Rae really thank god from the bottom of her heart as she still had the chance to do her filial piety.

“Mum, I am placing this jade Goddess next to your pillow. I hope that it will be auspicious and let you recover soon.” After Rae finished saying that, she lowered her head emotionally and kissed Mrs Baxter’s cheek. Then, she spoke softly, “I was wrong in the past. I will be your good girl in the future. Mum, please get well soon. Mum, I love you!”

When Rae was speaking, Mrs Baxter couldn’t control her tears from rolling down.

Her lips were trembling, “Rae…”

“Mum!” Rae was also calling her back. Both of them embraced each other and cried with joy.

Leonard put the jade on his neck although he was wearing a suit on that day and looked very incongruous to have that jade jewelry on him in such attire. It was because that he went to the ward after he just came back from the company. However, he still put it on happily. “Rae, I had put it on first. Your mum will also put it on after she recovered from illness!”

“That’s great!” Rae nodded happily.

It was just 8.45 pm when Ophelia called her. Rae took a look at her watch and found that she had been in the ward with her parents for an hour and a half. Time just slipped away when they were not unmindful of it. Sure enough, it was due to the different state of mind. After knowing that they were her parents, Rae didn’t feel repulse in her heart and didn’t feel that days were like years anymore when staying with them.
