They looked into one another’s eyes. Vivian said first, “Answer it. Maybe it is something urgent.”
John’s eyes became slightly sour.
He was afraid that something urgent would delay their marriage certificate today.
Finally, he received the call, with a heavy heart.
“Hello.” his voice was a little dim.
The person on the other side was speaking very fast. The car stopped abruptly before Vivian heard anything.
The intense sound of braking made her blood freeze.
Vivian frowned subconsciously. Her body was bounced back severely out of inertia.
She became groggy.
But she cared even more about John.
She turned her head around, only to see a layer of cold sweat on John’s head and his face was completely pale.
Vivian was shocked, “John, what’s wrong?”
The person on the other side had already ended the call. John’s eyes were red, his phone falling down from his hand.
“Vivi, my mother did not feel well.” He suppressed his voice and said.
Their marriage certificate was less important than his mother. John drove the car quickly before the traffic police ran towards them, which made the traffic police pissed off.
Vivian held his hands, looking at the pale and weak John worriedly, “Everything is gonna be fine. John, you need to believe in the medical science today. Your mother will be fine.”
John clenched his teeth and did not say anything.
The call was from his father, Sam. Sam said that his mother fainted in the garden when she was watering the flowers this morning.
She was sent to the hospital in the early morning. The results for the checkup had not come out, but it might be brain cancer according to the doctor’s preliminary diagnosis.
John was like burning with anxiety. All the conflicts were gone in his mind. He just wanted to do one thing right now. That was to see his mother.
His car came to the hospital very soon. Vivian did not get off, but said to John, “I am afraid your parents do not want to see me. I will stay here. Just have a talk with your parents, and I will help care for your mother when she feels better.”
John knew what she was worried about. Thinking that they were finally going to get their marriage certificate today, he had mixed feelings.
He kissed her on the face quickly, and said with his masculinity, “Vivi, wait for me here. I will be back soon.”
Some ripples were stirred in Vivian’s heart. She lowered her eyes lightly, and said with her head down, “OK.”
John was reluctant to leave. He took a look at her, and got off quickly.
Vivian drove his car home.
In the hospital.
When he arrived at the door to the ward, he saw his father going back and forth in front of the door.
Sam was a successful business man, calm and confident whatever he was facing. It was the first time John saw him so nervous.
He was a little doubtful about his mother’s illnesses at the beginning. But now the doubts were dispersed.
“John, here you come.” Haylee was the first one to see John there. Tears could be seen in her eyes.
Sam turned his head around. Expectations and relief were in his eyes. But when John looked towards him, his eyes became cold suddenly.
John felt sad about it.
“Dad, how is mum doing?” He asked.
