Chapter 401 I Want My Grandson
Amelia and Tiffany bought a lot of seasonal fruits and supplements before they went to Boris’ house. Once they reached, it was his wife, Haisley Glace, who opened the door.
“Ms. Winters, it’s you. Come on in.” Haisley was a kind-hearted woman and greeted them enthusiastically when she saw them.
“Mrs. Jackman, I hope we didn’t disturb you since we came without informing you in advance,” responded Amelia.
“Usually, only Boris and I are at home. Our children are busy with work and seldom come back. It’s good that you can come over and have a chat with me.” When Haisley saw the fruits and supplements on their hands, she could not help but nag, “I’m glad that you’re here, but there’s no need to buy supplements for us. It’s such a waste.”
Amelia flashed her a smile and remained silent. Meanwhile, Tiffany held her hand and praised, “Mrs. Jackman, we’ve always heard Boris complimenting how gentle and virtuous you are, but I never believed it, thinking that he must be exaggerating. Now that I meet you in person, I know that he’s telling the truth.”
Tiffany’s flattery made Haisley burst out laughing.
At the same time, Tony also came down from Kurt’s arms and ran to Haisley. When she picked him up, he kissed her cheek several times and introduced himself, “Mrs. Jackman, I’m Tony. My full name is Anthony Clinton, but you can call me Tony.”
A hint of surprise flickered across Haisley’s eyes. She planted a few kisses on his face and complimented with a smile, “What a smart child. I really like you.”
Then, she averted her gaze to Amelia and inquired, “How old is he?”
“He’s two years and three months old.”
“He’s already so good at saying nice things at such a young age. He must be a charmer when he grows up. What a cutie pie. You’ve given birth to a good son.”
Every mother liked her child to be praised, and Amelia was no exception.
They were happily chatting when they heard the sound of the door unlocking. Haisley put Tony down and stated, “It must be Boris.”
Once she finished talking, the door opened. As expected, Boris walked in.
Seeing that both Tiffany and Amelia were there, he piped up, “You’re here.”
Immediately, Tony ran over and hugged his thigh. “Mr. Jackman, you’re back! I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. Did you miss me?”
A smile finally appeared on Boris’ face. He scooped Tony up and sat down on the sofa with the boy in his arms.
After playing with Tony for a while, he shifted his attention to Amelia. “Your eyes have recovered, right? I thought I would be the one to cure your eyes. But I guess Oscar was a step earlier, huh? Anyway, I’m relieved to see that you’ve recovered.”
Amelia wore a solemn look and replied in a serious tone, “Boris, I’m grateful to you. If it weren’t for you, the blood clot in my brain would’ve gotten closer to the optic nerve. Even if I had found a suitable cornea, my eyes might not recover then. Or my life might be in danger even if I recovered. I’m here today to express my sincere gratitude.”
Looking at her, Boris remarked, “It was the least I could do. In the beginning, I decided to treat you because of Terrence, but after getting to know you, I’ve taken a liking to you. That’s why I wanted to find the most appropriate solution to cure your eyes. Unfortunately, before I could do that, your eyes had already recovered. It’s one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t manage to keep my promise to you.”
“Boris, please don’t say that. I’ll always remember your kindness. I’m lucky to have met such a conscientious doctor like you during my greatest hour of need. Although some people say that you’re strange, in my opinion, you’re the most responsible doctor I’ve ever met, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart.”
“There’s no need to flatter me. I’ve treated you as my granddaughter all this time. I’m happy for you now that your eyesight has recovered, but it’s a pity that the surgery wasn’t done by me. Anyway, let’s stop talking about this.”
While playing with Tony, Boris added, “Oscar also came to visit me. Are you going to stay in Beshya or go back to where you came from?”
“We’ll be going back in two days, and we plan to sell the apartment in Beshya. If the opportunity arises, we’ll come back and visit you. You’re like my relatives, after all,” Amelia promised.
“That’s great. Since the misunderstanding between you and Oscar has been resolved, you should live together. A married couple should always communicate with each other. Don’t think of getting a divorce because of some trivial matters. You have to consider about your child,” Boris advised earnestly.
“I understand. I’ll manage my relationship well and won’t let you down.”
“I’m glad that you’re willing to listen to my advice. Stay here for lunch today. Haisley is extraordinarily good at cooking. I’m sure you’ll crave for more after you’ve tried some.”
“Sure. Please don’t mind us for eating to our hearts’ content then.”
Hearing that, Boris could not help but burst out laughing.
After lunch, Tiffany and Amelia went back to their apartment.
