"Mrs. Williams, are you feeling alright?" The maid noticed something was wrong and hurried over to give her a back massage and help her relax.
Mrs. Williams shook her head. How could she feel okay now? She thought everything was going well with her son finally being mature, but then that brat said he wanted a divorce!
"Maybe I shouldn't have interfered from the beginning? It's the 21st century, there are plenty of people who don't get married. Why bother making trouble for myself?" Mrs. Williams spoke sadly, breathing becoming more rapid.
"You're doing this for Mr. Williams' sake, Mrs. Williams," the maid sighed as a mother herself wanting stability for her children.
"Maybe... go get me some water please? If he insists on getting divorced, then I'll just pretend I never had a son."
The maid quickly turned to pour water when suddenly she heard a loud thud behind her and turned around in shock.
"Mrs. Williams? Mrs. Williams?" The maid called out several times but got no response from Mrs. Williams who seemed unresponsive at all.
She immediately called an ambulance while tremblingly putting fingers under Mrs. Williams' nose to check if she is still breathing.
Thankfully there was still breath left in her body, so without wasting any time, she called security outside and together they helped carry Mrs. Williams out of the house and into the hospital emergency room.
Due to the urgent situation, the maid waited outside calling Rhys on phone.
"Mr. Williams, do you have time now? Please come quickly to hospital because..."
"What happened this time? She wants me back home by pretending illness again right?" Rhys impatiently interrupted before hearing what happened exactly.
"She likes pretending, so let her just pretend happily ever after; don't bother looking for me next time." After speaking those words, Rhys hung up without waiting for any reply.
He didn't want to keep backing down anymore. He can't decide whether or not to get married, but at least he should decide whether or not to have children!
The maid listened to the busy tone on her phone and had no choice but to call again. Before Rhys could speak, she spoke first, "Mr. Williams, Mrs. Williams really fainted this time and is being treated at the hospital. I'm not lying to you. You should come over because the hospital wants to see family members of patients."
Hearing the maid's tearful tone, Rhys realized that this was not a simple matter.
He rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible and coincidentally met with a doctor who had just come out of surgery and asked to see family members of patients.
"I am a family member of the patient, that's my mother. What's going on?" Rhys walked directly over.
The doctor handed him an examination report. "Your mother has heart problems which you should know about? She was saved after emergency treatment just now but from now on she must be extra careful and cannot get angry easily because if there is another attack, she may not be as lucky as now."
The words were very suggestive but Rhys understood immediately.
He looked at the examination report, feeling deeply powerless.
He planned to stop being bound by his mother from now on, but his mother's heart disease made it impossible for him to act recklessly.
