After Jayson nodded, the three of them followed Anne. As expected, Bob was happily smiling in her arms.
After playing in the garden for a while, she held the boy in her arms and treated him to some desserts that he was allowed to eat. Bob and Eddy were in a similar situation after all, so Anne knew how to take care of him.
Meanwhile, when Bob's mother arrived, she didn't see him inside the ward. She immediately panicked and looked for a nurse to help her. The nurse had no clue what happened either, and it threw the whole hospital into disarray.
When Anne returned, carrying Bob in her arms, a grey-haired woman rushed to grab him in her arms. She desperately shouted, "Bob, where have you been? I already told you that you can't go outside. You should stay in the ward. Why did you go out? Are you going to scare me to death?"
As she stared at the woman's messy dress, Anne frowned. Jayson said that in order to cure Bob, his parents had used up all their money. And now, they were still desperately scrambling to make money in order to pay their huge medical bills.
Nothing in this world could ever compare to a mother and a father's love for their child.
"Mom…" Bob was being held tightly, so he couldn't help but burst into tears.
His mother was startled. She immediately let the boy go and eyed her son up and down. When she saw that Bob was wearing new clothes, she glowered and asked, "Bob, where did you get these clothes?"
Bob sobbed as he slowly looked at Anne. At this point, his mother finally realized that there was a woman standing behind her. She looked at Anne from head to toe with vigilance in her eyes. "Excuse me, Miss. Who are you?"
"My name is Anne." Lowering her head, Anne looked at Bob with concern and sighed. "I've asked the doctor if he could go out, and he said that the child is in good health recently. He's allowed to play for a short time. Staying in that ward all the time will negatively affect his health.
I'm sorry that I took Bob out without your permission," Anne said with guilt in her eyes as she stared at Bob's mother.
She was very familiar with the feeling of having a missing child.
Bob's mother nodded at her. Bob tugged on his mother's hemline and said, "Mom, this aunt is a good person. She took me outside to play and bought delicious food and new clothes for me. Look! She also got me some new toys."
Bob's mother touched his head lovingly, and then she raised her head to look at Anne, and said awkwardly, "Thank you so much. I'm sorry for making you pay for all those things… Would you mind if I pay you back in the future?"
Her head was lowered while she was speaking.
She noticed that the things that Anne bought for Bob were expensive. For Anne, it didn't cost that much, but for her, it was not a small amount.
Shaking her head in refusal, Anne replied, "Bob is so cute. I bought him all these things voluntarily, so you don't need to pay me back."
Bob's mother looked at her and heaved a deep sigh. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she immediately wiped them away.
