A sharp pain tore through her heart, and it hurt so much that even breathing felt painful.
Having lost whatever feelings of excitement she had earlier, Sasha placed the items back on the shelf.
“No, thanks…” Sasha replied emotionlessly and dragged herself out of the mall.
She was so absent-minded that she didn’t even know how she got home. All she remembered doing was locking herself up in her bedroom straight till nightfall.
Lance soon returned home with Vivian and was surprised to see an empty living room.
“Where’s your mommy? Is she still out?” he asked as he had bought a lot of ingredients to make their favorite dishes.
Vivian climbed off him and went looking for Sasha in her bedroom.
“Mommy? Are you in there? It’s me, Vivi! Uncle Lance bought us a lot of ingredients today! Come on out, Mommy!” she shouted in her usual childish voice while knocking on the door, but there was no response.
Lance quickly came upstairs and carried Vivian in his arms as he said, “I think your mommy isn’t home yet. She’s probably busy running some errands outside. Come on, let’s wait for her downstairs. I’ll make you something delicious!”
“Okay…”
Vivian could only pout as she went downstairs with Lance.
Little did they know, Sasha slowly opened the door after they left and slowly dragged herself out of the room.
“Will Mommy come home for dinner tonight, Uncle Lance? You even bought her favorite crabs!”
“Hmm, I’m not sure… If she doesn’t, we’ll just keep it in the refrigerator and cook it when she comes back, okay?”
“Okay!”
Vivian clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Lance smiled back at her as he continued unpacking the daily necessities that he bought.
“Vivi, if your mommy doesn’t come home before we go to bed tonight, I want you to tell her tomorrow that I bought you two all these stuff. They were mailed all the way here from Clear, got it?” he said while waving tubes of toothpaste and bottles of children’s shampoo in front of her.
Those were all stuff that Sasha had wanted to purchase from Clear. As Vivian had sensitive skin, most of the commercial products available in the market weren’t suitable for her.
As such, Sasha had no choice but to purchase them all from Clear Hospital.
I appreciate that he’s helped me with the purchase, but… Why did he have to buy so much of it at once? Three months is a pretty long time, so he could just wait till we run out before placing an order for it…
