Outside the ward of the hospital, Heidy held the bouquet in her hands, standing in front of the door. Looking at the little boy in bed, she had mixed feelings. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the room bravely.
Seeing her coming, Annie stepped in front of her and said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Get out."
Taking a glance at her, she said in a calm tone, "I came here to see Gavin, and Hearst is okay with it." With that, Heidy let go of her hand and continued to walk forward.
Astonishment was written all over Annie's face. She said in disbelief, "How could Hearst allow you to come here? Shame on you!"
Heidy sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Gavin's ruddy face, she said in a hoarse voice, "Believe it or not. I want to stay with Gavin alone for a while? Can you go outside for a minute?"
"It's impossible. You will never have the chance to hurt him again," Annie shouted. "Heidy, get out!"
Heidy raised her head and said in a cold tone, "Annie, you are just an ordinary aunt to Gavin. But I'm his mother. You're not Hearst's wife. Why are you yelling here? Get out, or I can call Hearst. Since he allowed me to come here, I think he will allow me to stage with Gavin alone for a while."
Looking at the face of Heidy, Annie wanted to refute her, but she realized that she didn't have the advantage in this conversation. At the thought of this, Annie said with a snort, "You'd better not play tricks, or else, Hearst won't let you off." After that, she left reluctantly.
At the moment, there were only Heidy and Gavin in the ward. Slowly and gently, she picked up his warm palm, and her heart thumped. Heidy clenched her fist. She whispered, "Gavin, I seldom hold your hand like this, right? You don't want to admit that I'm your mother, right?"
Gavin in bed remained silent, as if he was listening to her. Looking at the little face, tears had fallen on her cheeks unconsciously. Heidy didn't even bother to wipe the blood off her face. She said in a bitter tone, "Gavin, do you still remember what you asked me the other day? In fact, I don't hate you. I'm just afraid that I don't have the courage to accept you."
In fact, she dared not to mention the past. As a result, when she knew that Gavin was the child three years ago, she wanted to hide herself. She was even afraid of getting along with Gavin. That fear would unconsciously affect her. Even if she wanted to pretend to be calm, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Placing the back of his hand on her cheek, Heidy sobbed, "Gavin, I regret giving you the honest answer that day. If you hadn't left angrily and I had caught up with you in time, you wouldn't have suffered the pain right now. Gavin, I'm sorry."
Thinking of the situation she was in with Hearst, Heidy burst into tears again. She didn't know how long she had cried before she stopped. Wiping away the tears, she raised her hand and placed it on his face. Feeling his temperature, she reminded him softly. "Gavin, please wake up. I hope you can be sober soon. As long as you can wake up, I will take good care of you."
Heidy felt extremely guilty when Gavin was in a coma. At the same time, she suddenly realized that she didn't hate him as much as she thought. Besides, only when Gavin woke up could she clean herself.
"Gavin, in fact... If you are in the coma forever, your father and I may be over. He doesn't believe me and I can't prove my innocence. Gavin, please wake up early, please," Heidy held his hand and pleaded.
However, Gavin's eyes were still closed. And she could only hear the sound of the instruments. Seeing this, Heidy sighed softly and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you."
Outside the ward, Noah and Hearst stood side by side. They overheard Heidy's words. Seeing Hearst walking away, Noah followed him. He came to his side and stood side by side in front of the window of the corridor. "I don't think she was acting." Noah said with a smile. "Is there any secret about this?"
Looking ahead, Hearst replied in a low voice, "In fact, I always don't believe it was her, but I still can't find any evidence to prove her innocence, and I can't convince myself either."
Patting him on the shoulder, Noah said seriously, "Sometimes you have to believe in not only the evidence, but also what you see with your eyes. One's eyes won't lie. The eyes of Heidy are clear and innocent. She is not a calculating woman."
On the other hand, Hearst kept silent and said nothing. He looked so cold that no one could understand what he was thinking.
The quarrel between Heidy and Hearst was still going on, and life wouldn't stop for this reason. Heidy didn't want to have time to think about this mess, so she put all her time on work. And meanwhile, she was glad that she had been so busy with her work.
In the evening, Heidy was going to attend a banquet. She wore a slim dress and her lower abdomen was not clear yet, so no one could not figure out whether she was pregnant or not. She wore a pair of 5 cm high heels but she couldn't get used to it. These days, in order to protect the fetus, she always wore flat shoes.
The assistant Chen walked up to her and reminded her, "Boss, there must be many people toasting tonight."
"That's why I brought you here," Heidy said and chuckled.
