Theresa pursed her lips, “I will take care of Armand, don’t be too sad about it.”
Elizabeth’s eyes got even redder. She felt sorry when she faced this girl.
She grabbed Theresa’s hand and lower her head without saying a word.
Theresa’s expression was calm, but deep inside her heart was trembling.
“Don’t be mad at me, okay?” Elizabeth was talking in a begging tone.
Theresa said “okay”. She was not answering with anger, nor it was a well-thought-out answer. It was because she was moved when she saw the tears of the old lady. Hence, she could not say any harsh words to her.
She still said ‘okay’ although she was deeply hurt before.
Elizabeth wiped her tears, “I’m not sure if the medical treatment abroad is good enough. Should we transfer Armand to another hospital?”
Elizabeth was worried that the doctor would misdiagnose his condition. In fact, she had a fluke in her heart, hoping that it was a misdiagnosis and that Armand would soon wake up.
Theresa knew what Elizabeth was worried about, “But the doctor said Armand can’t move because he hurt his head.”
Elizabeth nodded. She knew injuries on the head could be very serious.
“Then what can we do?” Elizabeth felt very helpless. She wanted to help, but she didn’t know what she could do, so she was very anxious but couldn’t do anything.
Theresa comforted her, “The doctor said there is a good chance of him waking up, let’s wait a little longer.”
“Really?” Elizabeth clutched Theresa’s hand as if she was a lifesaver.
Theresa replied with certainty, “Yes.”
She turned her head to look at the bed. The person on the bed did not have any trace of movement, as if he was deeply asleep, even when Elizabeth was crying loudly and seemed so worried, he still did not move at all.
Theresa was not sure too, and she also didn’t know when he would wake up.
She didn’t think too much. She just didn’t want Armand to be caught in the middle again, “If he can wake up sooner, I am willing… I’m willing to let him find others.”
She crossed her bottom line. She would have been unable to accept someone to bear her child, even if it was just borrowing someone else belly, she was still unwilling to accept it.
In her opinion, she would have preferred adoption.
Elizabeth froze for quite some time. She seemed shocked and didn’t understand what she meant. She grabbed Theresa’s hand and trembled constantly. After a long time, she said, “Thank you, thank you.”
Even though things had already gone into this kind of situation, Elizabeth was still thinking that the Bernie family must have their own heirs.
It could be seen that how important it is to her whether the Bernie family could have an heir.
Boyce had been standing outside for a while, and he heard all of their conversations. He let out a deep breath.
He came in, “Theresa, you take Elizabeth to eat something. You should eat something too. I will stay here and look after him.”
Theresa said, “You can take her to eat and I’ll stay here.”
“You’d better go and eat something, you have to keep watch at night. You’ll be too tired then. Listen to me, you should go take some rest and eat something. You can come back later.” Boyce pulled her.
Theresa could only agree and said, “Then what do you want to ear, I’ll bring you some.”
“I’ll go back and eat.” Boyce thought that Jasmine would be at home.
Theresa said, “Okay.”
She pushed Elizabeth out and Boyse watched them walked away. He closed the door and walked to the hospital bed. He touched Armand with his hand, “Stop pretending, they are gone.”
