Together, they arrived at the hospital room, where Amir could now eat some easily digestible liquid food.
Beryl's aunt had been on duty all night and didn't look too good. When Wallis saw Jamal, she immediately asked her to rest.
Beryl stayed in the hospital room to serve Amir his soup while Wallis went to the elevator to see the two off. It took her about ten minutes to return to the room, but as soon as she entered, her face changed.
Sure enough, just after she busied herself feeding Amir the soup and putting him to sleep, she whispered, "What did you do last night?"
Beryl swallowed, knowing that what she had feared had come true.
"I went back to school."
"I asked you to go eat, but you disappeared. I called you, but you didn't answer. What urgent matter at school required you to be so rushed that you didn't even have time to answer the phone?" Wallis's tone was very serious, and it was evident that she was genuinely angry.
Beryl didn't dare to make up excuses anymore, but she also couldn't admit that she went to see Marcellus. She could only lower her head and remain silent, showing an attitude of complete acceptance of her mistake.
Actually, even without saying, Wallis knew that she must have gone to see Marcellus.
"I thought you were a sensible and obedient child. I wanted you to cut off contact with him voluntarily. But now it seems that you can't control yourself anymore. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being strict. Starting tomorrow, except for class time, you must stay in the hospital. When your father gets better, I'll rent a place nearby to stay with you. After school, you come straight back home."
Beryl didn't expect Wallis to react so strongly. "Mom!"
