Rebecca did not know what had happened.
The last thing she saw was that Mommy lied on the ground covering in blood, and then Aaron covered her eyes.
They stood outside the operating room for a long time, and finally Aaron took her to the nurse and told her that he was going to take care of Mommy, but never came back.
Rebecca did not know what was happening to Mommy. She was worried but afraid of the man in front of her. She had not forgotten the man's words that he would throw her into the water.
Tears were on her little face, and she tried to hold back the tears that were about to fall. Mommy said she could not cry.
Samuel looked at Rebecca kept shrinking back and thought of that he would throw her into the water, he regretted.
He rubbed his face and made no attempt to communicate with Rebecca. Instead, he stood up and said to the doctor, “Take me to see her.”
The doctor and nurse looked at each other.
“Huh?” Samuel looked back doubtfully.
“Aaron has taken her body away. The child is still there, why don’t you see the child first?”
Samuel tried his best to suppress the impulse rising from the bottom of his heart and said deadpan, “Lead the way.”
The child was placed in the incubator, which was a tiny ball. His eyes barely opened.
The doctor explained that because of the premature birth, the child was still very weak. There might be congenital deficiency, so more attention should be paid in the time of rearing.
Thankfully, the child did not inherit Matilda's leukemia.
This was the greatest gift a mother gave her child.
Samuel silently looked at the child in front of him through the glass. He was very small, eyes and nose wrinkled into a small ball, the palm was small, as if he would die accidentally.
But it was the child that Matilda risked her life to give birth!
His heart began to throb again. He held his hand to his heart and suddenly gasped as if he were being strangled.
The nurse beside him suddenly let out a cry of surprise and ran quickly towards him, and he lost consciousness again.
Three days later, Samuel holding the swaddling child with left hand Rebecca with the right hand opened the door.
He saw Laney.
Laney pushed the wheelchair and seemed to be cleaning up the living room. When she saw Samuel come in, she turned around and smiled. She slid the wheelchair and wanted to hold hands with Rebecca.
“You are back, Rebecca, let me hold you.”
Rebecca shook of Samuel's hand and hid behind the door in fear.
The embarrassing smile on Laney's face lingered for a second, and then she raised her face and said, “Rebecca may be too sad. Samuel -”
“Who gave you the keys?” Samuel lowered his head to look at the innocent “fiancee” sitting on the wheelchair and asked without expression.
“I...” Laney was stunned and could not find an excuse.
At that moment, another person came out of the kitchen, holding an oil-stained apron that Matilda had used so often, apparently it had been used as a rag.
She threw the apron into the trash can.
