Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 64

Osmond didn’t want to put her into a difficult position. He nodded and said, “Alright, call me if you need anything else.”

After that, he greeted Theresa who lay in the sickbed, “Aunty Theresa, I’ll come to visit another day.”

“It’s alright. You go ahead.” Theresa smiled and waved her hands.

As Osmond was leaving the ward, he asked Kenneth to join him politely, “Mr. Shawn, I see we not much of a help here. We might as well we let Aunty Theresa and Rachel take a good rest here, while you and I go grab a drink.”

Kenneth looked at Rachel for a second, then turned to Osmond and said in a flat tone, “Let’s go.”

Rachel felt speechless about his action.

“What are they trying to do? Will they fight?”

“They shouldn’t be this childish, I think.”

Rachel wanted to say something but she ended up saying nothing as she watched them leave the ward. She stroked Monica’s hair softly and closed the door behind her.

She hid behind and door and listen to the movements of the guys. When she assured that the guys left, she turned and look at Theresa in a questioning look.

Theresa pretended to cough to cover her guilt. She grabbed the glass on her bedside table and start drinking from it to avoid eye contact with Rachel.

Rachel squinted her eyes then called Theresa in a cold tone, “Mother, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Theresa swallowed the water and put the glass back onto the bedside table. She covered herself with the blanket and said, “Rachel, I feel tired. Why don’t you head home first?”

“Mother!” Rachel’s voice became tenser. She frowned and showed a frustrated look, “What have you tell Osmond? What about the pregnancy test you told him?”

“I…I…” Theresa felt sorry for what she did. She put on an innocent look and said softly, “I…I didn’t really say anything. I knew Osmond likes you, so I thought I could do something to help him out.”

Who knew Kenneth would come as well?

The moment Kenneth’s name came across her mind, Theresa’s attitude changed. She gave Rachel a piercing glance. “Speaking of which. How is Kenneth related to you again? I thought you broke up with him already? Why did he come looking for you? Did he want the children?”

Theresa said in a determined attitude, “Rachel, I’m telling you, he is not going the get the children. You gave birth to her, not him. Don’t give your children to him. If you have a hard time taking care of the children, I will help you to take care of her, at all costs.”

“…”

Rachel went speechless and secretly thinking, “You? At all costs? Look at your legs, mother. How do you plan to take care of two children when you needed someone to take care of you?”

Rachel sighed. She comforted Theresa and in a gentle tone, “Mother, you are overthinking. Kenneth didn’t ask for the children and we are not back together. Stop minding my business, alright?”

She was already been bothered by so many things lately, to a point where she didn’t even know where to start untangling them.

Theresa knew she screwed up this time. There were disappointments on her fair and ageless face. She sighed and said, “Alright. I’ll stop. You do whatever you want.”

Rachel looked at Theresa in a doubting look.
