No matter what Colin said, Harriet just didn't agree.
Only Colin was her family right now. Harriet thought that she must keep him around to take care of him since he finally recovered. She definitely could not have the chance to see him for about four to five years if he really joined the army.
Colin didn't dare to provoke Harriet. He remained silence since she did not agree no matter how he tried to persuade her. Anyway, he still had time and maybe Harriet would support him.
"Harriet, where is mom?" Colin asked. He really hadn't seen their mom for a long time and he missed her very much, "Didn't Mom have a phone with her?"
"Yes, no cellphone is allowed in that place." Harriet followed his words. "Mom is so worried about you since you have been in coma for a long time, so she just went far away to pray for you."
Colin moved his lips and wanted to say something.
Harriet directly blocked what he was going to say and smiled, "I will contact her and let her come back as soon as possible. But if you are willing, I would like to introduce you with your brother-in-law first."
Colin was deflected as expected, thinking excitedly, "Really, brother-in-law is back? What does he think of your pregnancy?"
"He is thrilled." Harriet felt a glimpse of guilty. She patted Colin's head, "Your brother-in-law is also very glad to know that you are awake. He would like to meet you."
"Great. Let’s arrange the schedule!"
Harriet nodded with relief.
Anyway, it’s fine that Colin didn't bother her about their mom.
When Wesley came back, Harriet asked him for the favor. Wesley only said that he needed to check if he had spare time during those two days, but Harriet was already grateful for his words.
After all, Wesley had a full schedule every day, working for the company day and night. She was not that important for him. It could be difficult to ask him for help.
Irene never found Harriet troubles on the set and just filmed the scene regularly, but she became more and more proud, especially when facing Harriet, acting like a desperate person would finally turn on the tide.
Harriet perceived her behaviors in her eyes and didn't pay much attention to it. She was worried about Colin's recovery. She also asked the cleaner to clean up the house she bought before.
The money she got from Wesley was saved except for Colin's treatment costs. Last year, she spotted that the real estate in the western suburbs was good and bought an apartment with the help from her friend.
