Emily sent Franklin out, and said to her mother after closing the door, "Mom, I know what you want to say. All things happened quickly, but he and I... love each other. We have already got the marriage certificate."
"Do you think I will disagree?" Abigail looked at her and asked amusedly.
Emily lowered her head.
Abigail sighed, "I'm not going to say no to your marriage. I've been unconscious all these years and haven't fulfilled my duty as a mother. How can I be so good at telling you about your marriage? I just want to know the details of him. I want to know ... if the man you married is a good man. I don't want you to live a life like mine."
"Mom, don't worry! He's very good and very kind to me, and very kind to you. He's the one who found this sanatorium for you. Without him, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly." Emily quickly recounted Franklin's benefits.
Abigail smiled, touched Emily's face, and said, "Since you are so fond of him, I have nothing to say. There is one thing I want you to arrange for me. I want to meet your father."
Emily froze and frowned, "Mom, why do you suddenly want to meet him?"
Abigail said, "It's been so long since I woke up, but I haven't met him once. I have to thank him in person for all he has done for you, at least for raising you up."
"Mom, there's no need to do that. I grew up all by myself, and he had done nothing," Emily said coldly.
Abigail smiled and said, "How can you say that? He is your father anyway."
Emily, "..."
She really wanted to tell her mother everything that Anthony had done to her, but she was afraid that her mother would be sad, which would be bad for her recovery.
"Emily, I know you must have suffered a lot over these years. But I really need to meet him, so please, just arrange it for me," Abigail begged.
"Okay, I promise you." Emily couldn't refuse her mother's pleading and had to agree.
When she came out of the ward, Franklin quickly stood up and looked at her.
Emily couldn't help but smile when seeing his nervousness, "Are you afraid that my mother won't be satisfied with you and ask me to break up with you?"
"Hmph! Impossible." Franklin snorted with confidence.
Emily sighed. She was just joking. Franklin wouldn't be afraid to break up with her.
"What did your mother say?"
"Not much. She asked about you and was worried about your family background. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she wanted to meet Anthony and asked me to make an arrangement."
"Who's Anthony?" Franklin looked at her disgusted expression and asked in surprise.
"My father!"
If she could, she really didn't want that bastard to be her father.
"He's not nice to you?"
"Do you think he will be nice to me?" Emily snorted. "If he was, I wouldn't have to beg you to pay for my mother's medical bills."
"If you don't want to see him, then don't. He's just a relative of yours unrelated to you," Franklin said.
Emily looked at him in surprise. It was the first time she had heard such a novel idea.
However, she had already promised her mother, so how could she not arrange it?
"My mom let you in and wanted to talk to you," Emily said quickly.
Franklin was a little frightened, "She still wants to talk to me?"
"Anyway, just say something nice to her, please. When I see your mother with you, I will do so as well," she pleaded with a pout.
