It was hours later when Amora finally came home.She checked her phone and saw about a dozen missed calls from Kylo.
Ah! I have totally forgotten to go over to Frontier Bay tonight to treat Kane.
When Amora was at Solomon's place, he not only showed her the references from law books but also explained to her in detail the methods one could use to gather court-admissible evidence.
She had immersed herself in listening to Solomon's explanation of the relevant legal proceedings and forgotten about Frontier Bay.
Should I still head over now? The momentary thought entered her mind.
But it soon disappeared as she recalled what had happened during the day.
Well, I still have some self-respect.
Since that scum was willing to hurl all sorts of insults in my face for that phony woman, why should I care if he is suffering! At that thought, Amora decided to just wash up and go to bed with her children.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Amora was about to make breakfast for the kids when she received another call from Kylo.
"Madam, Mr.lan is sick"
"What! How did he get sick? He was still fine yesterday!"
Amora panicked and dropped everything she was doing before walking over to her balcony.
On the other side of the line, Kylo covered his mouth and lowered his voice as though he was afraid of being caught making the phone call.
"He stayed up all night waiting for you to come over.When you didn't show up, he started to play chess by himself.You know how fragile his body is.He must have caught a cold.Mr.Ronin is getting ready to take him to the hospital."
"Oh my..."
Amora felt light-headed and started faltering.
Her heart wrenched in pain as a pang of guilt surged in her chest.
After hanging up the phone, she hurried back into the house.
What kind of mother am I! I told lan that I love him and will do everything I can to make up to him.
But instead of keeping my word, I was out doing my own thing and didn't even look after his wellbeing! Amora rushed to the living room as Matteo and Vivian had just gotten ready in their school uniforMs."Matt, Vivi, there's an emergency matter that I have to attend to.
So, we're gonna have to grab a quick bite on our way to your preschool.Is that okay?
"Sure, Mommy.What's the matter?"
Matteo agreed promptly.
But his mother's apprehensive expression concerned him.
Trying not to alarm the kids, Amora simply replied, "Oh, it's just that the son of my patient has fallen ill, and I've got to take a look at him."
Ah! lan is sick! Both Matteo and Vivian were surprised by what they heard.
Twenty minutes later, the siblings arrived at their preschool.
