Let's Get Married novel Chapter 717

"Okay, Okay, I will stop..." Lorraine finally stops crying. "Eunice, you still remember everything, do you?"

Eunice smiles, "Yes, I remember everything. Don't worry, mom."

"That's good. That's good. We've pulled through. It's all over now..."

It breaks Thomas' heart to look at his sister in the hospital bed, but he can't show it. He's afraid that his emotions would affect her. "Sister, mother and I are here to take care of you. If you feel unwell, you must tell us."

Eunice glimpses a boy beside her and asked, "Thomas, how long have I been unconscious?"

"More than three months."

It is more than three months.

It is not a long time, but spans a quarter of a year. She only feels that a hundred days are so short, like a blink of an eye.

At this moment, looking at Thomas, she feels that her once willful brother has matured a lot. Although his appearance and voice remain unchanged, he becomes steady and without impetuousness.

Eunice is both gratified and distressed as she thinks about Thomas taking care of her mother when she was sick. However, her illness, in fact, has forced him to grow up.

"Thomas, it's been hard on you."

As soon as she finishes speaking, Thomas pretends to be angry and opens his eyes. "You're my sister and it's really nothing."

Lorraine doesn't want her to carry this emotional burden, so Lorraine chimes in, "That's right. You're being too polite as his big sister. You need to learn from him."

Eunice knows that it must be very hard for them to take care of her. She gives a faint smile and says nothing.

However, Lorraine hesitantly says, "Actually, Ryan helped us a lot this time when you were sick. He took care of your brother and me and dealt with the hospital."

Right after she says that, Thomas raises his hand and nudges her arm, "Mom, she just woke up and you don't have to say that."

Lorraine looks awkward as she nods silently, "Alright, I won't talk about it."

Eunice notices that they are obviously avoiding the topic and hiding something from her. She knows that it is because they are worrying about her, but she feels uncomfortable.

However, when she thinks of that man, she feels reluctant to face him somehow. She is not sure if it is because she has let go after the irritation, or something else.

She feels like losing all her enthusiasm due to the unexpected kidnapping. Nothing is left but the memories that make her feel cold every time they come creeping up on her.

"Mom, I know. When I get better, I'll thank him."

Lorraine sees her cold expression and remains silent.

No outsider can help with their relationship, so they have to solve it.

That day, Ryan never returns to the ward, not because he doesn't want to see her, but because he is afraid that his presence will agitate her again.

Sitting in the ward next door, he waits. He finishes countless cigarettes until late at night.

Looking out of the window into the dark sky, he looks up at the clock. It is already half past ten. He stands up to stretch. His body stiffens after siting for a long time. Due to decreased blood circulation, he suddenly moves violently, feels dizzy and almost falls.

Fortunately, there is a chair beside him, and he only manages to balance himself with it.
