Butler smiles.
This is the first time that Kevin has taken the initiative to hug her in so many years, but it is at the moment before parting.
At her request, he hugs her politely.
Even so, Butler is still very satisfied.
It is good to be held in his arms.
...
After Butler leaves, Kevin continued to work calmly. During the period, Sunny came in a few times and is quietly looking at him.
Kevin notices that, but he does not talk to her.
Seeing that he has no motion, Sunny does not speak to him too.
There is nothing happened until the end of the day.
After work, Sunny picks up Macie as usual. And today Sunny cooks.
After dinner, when Sunny sends back Macie to the Quinn’s, Troy makes a call to her.
Sunny is taking and laughing with Macie at this time. And she is surprised to receive Troy’s call.
Since last time he has been seen with Macie by Kevin, Troy has no contact with her for some days. She has no idea why he calls her.
Before Sunny says anything, Troy’s words make her face suddenly changed.
He said -- something has happened to Kevin!
Sunny answers lightly, and then asks the address before she accelerates the speed of the car. Macie seems to be also aware of something.
“Mommy, is there something wrong?”
Her daughter's sweet voice pulls Sunny's thoughts back. She calms down, turns to look at Macie, and says with a smile, “Macie, there is something wrong in my company, and I have to deal with it now. When you are at home, go to take a bath before you sleep, ok?”
Macie tilts her head.
Something happened at Mommy’s company?
But Troy said Mommy works in Daddy's company.
Does that mean something's wrong with dad's company? As father's secretary, her mother naturally will deal with it with her father.
Thinking like this, Macie feels it is ok.
She nods, “OK, Mommy, sleep early when you finish your work.”
Her daughter is clever and sensible, which makes Sunny gratified.
After sending Macie to the Quinn’s, she chats with Old Lady Quinn for a while before she heads to the company.
Old Lady Quinn sees that Kevin has not come back, so she believes Sunny's words. She takes Macie home, helps her bath and then reads stories to her to make her sleep.
Sunny comes out from the Quinn’s, and quickly rushes to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Sunny finds that her hands and legs were shaking and still soft after she parks the car.
She's been driving fast.
She can't get out of the car now, since her legs are so weak.
In desperation, she can only make a phone call to Troy.
Troy comes in five minutes. When he finds Sunny, she is sitting inside the car with a pale face.
Troy suddenly has a sense of guilt.
But soon, he is covered by another emotion.
“How...How's he?” Her voice has a tremor that she is not aware of.
Troy slightly narrows his eyes and says, “He is dying but still waiting for you.”
A short sentence makes Sunny not strong anymore.
He is dying......
It is just in only an hour. How can that be?
“How can this be?” She growls crazily, slamming her hands on the steering wheel, hitting the horn and screeching the car.
Troy is stunned, “I take you up.”
He chooses to steer clear of the topic.
But his action makes Sunny anxious.
Even the optimistic Troy has avoided this problem, is it really that Kevin is going to die?
Sunny is helped up by Troy. Troy meets them at the elevator. When he sees them, he shakes his head and sighs.
Sunny is more panic.
In the ward, the man lying on the bed has a pale face and pale lips.
The oxygen mask is on his face, and the lines on the heart monitor rises and falls regularly.
Sunny stumbles to the bed and takes his hand, sobbing.
Everyone feels sore in heart when they see this scene.
“Kevin...” She murmurs, stands up, takes his hand to her belly. “It is ok you don’t want me, but don't you even want Macie and it?”
