After returning to the ward, Leona took Eden out of the backyard of the hospital. Although they didn't leave the hospital, Eden was still very happy.
"Mommy, look at that butterfly. It's so beautiful. If Eden leaves Mommy one day, when Mommy sees the butterfly flying away, you can see me." Eden had a bright smile on his face, but there was a hint of sadness in it.
Hearing this, Leona almost burst into tears. She had a feeling that her son was saying goodbye to her.
"Eden, don't talk nonsense. I won't let anything happen to you. I will always be with you. If... If Eden is really gone, Mommy will go with you. " Holding her son in her arms, Leona said firmly. Eden was her courage to live on. Once he was gone, she had no motivation to live on.
"No, I don't want you to go with me. I want you to live well and help me to live a more wonderful life." Eden reached out his little hand to wipe away the tears on his mother's face.
Eden was only five years old. His life meant nothing to him, far less to Leona. He didn't want his mother to be sad about his leaving.
"Eden, you have to live on. Even for Mommy, you have to hold on to the end, okay? Let's work together. " Holding her son in her arms, Leona kept rubbing his little face, so that she could feel her son's life.
"Well, let's work together." Eden nodded obediently.
After staying outside for a long time, Leona took Eden back to the ward. At this time, her mobile phone rang. She picked it up and found that it was a call from York.
After hesitating for a while, she picked up the phone. No matter what, she would never forget that York had helped her in her most difficult time.
"Leona, I want to see you." When the phone was picked up, York said in a hoarse voice. He had struggled for a while before calling Leona.
He knew that he could do nothing to help them in their current situation, but he just wanted to know how Leona was now. If Greg didn't treat her well, he didn't mind getting her back.
Of course, he wouldn't betray Janie. She was still his wife, and he wouldn't ask for anything from Leona. He only wanted to see her live a good life.
"York, are you sick?" Hearing York's hoarse voice, Leona asked with concern.
"Nothing. Let's meet, okay?" York said anxiously. He really wanted to see how she was doing.
"Okay, where is it?" In fact, Leona also cared about York. After all, she really didn't have many friends.
She was afraid Janie misunderstood her, so she didn't kept in touch with York for so long. As for Greg, he wouldn't have made things difficult for York because of her.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up. " Hearing that Leona agreed to meet him, York raised his voice with joy.
"I'm in the hospital. Eden hasn't recovered yet." Speaking of her son, Leona felt a little depressed.
