Dolores slowly lifted her head. When she saw the man’s face, she was surprised, “Dr. Herbert.”
There was a group of people standing behind Sampson and this made Dolores even more surprised, “Why, why are you here?”
Her brother had autism and it was Sampson who treated him. In the course of contact, they got to know each other.
Sampson smiled gently. Before he uttered a word, the director of the hospital spoke, “Dr. Herbert’s here to carry out a forum in my hospital.”
Sampson was a famous psychiatrist. He was especially an autism expert.
“What about you, why are you here, are you sick?” Samson asked.
Dolores’s body trembled when she thought of her mom’s resolute attitude.
“Lola!” Jessica rushed over from the other side of the corridor with the checklist in her hand. When she came back and heard the nurse say that Dolores had run away, she was very shocked. Jessica could not help but shout agitatedly when she saw Dolores.
Dolores pursed her lips and she was on the verge of tears, “Mom…”
Sampson said to the director of the hospital standing beside him, “You guys go back first, I have something to do.”
“Since Dr. Herbert has something to do, we won’t bother you then. I’m sincerely inviting Dr. Herbert to work in my hospital. If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me, I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”
Sampson said gently, “I’ll consider it.”
“Let’s go outside first before we talk, this is not the right place.” Sampson said to Jessica. The hospital was full of people so it was not a good place for them to talk.
Jessica also knew Sampson. When her son received treatments, she really could not raise the money sometimes. And Dr. Herbert was the one who offered help to pay for it.
Therefore, Jessica had a lot of respect for him.
Jessica held Dolores’s wrist tightly, fearing that she would run away again.
As soon as they came out of the hospital, Dolores knelt in front of Jessica, “Mom, I beg you, we already lose Jeremy. Please let me give birth to this child.”
Sampson frowned. What did she mean? He quickly thought of something and his eyes were gazing at her abdomen.
When he saw the test results in Jessica’s hand, he could figure out clearly that Dolores was pregnant.
He was shocked and he felt unbelievable.
He wanted to know what had happened but now was not the right time to ask.
Dolores seldom cried in front of Jessica. Even when her brother died, she cried secretly and never shed a tear in front of Jessica.
It was not that Jessica wanted to force her. But, if Dolores gave birth to that child, would she still have a bright future?
As the saying went, becoming a mother made a vulnerable woman stronger than before. It seemed like it would be very difficult for Jessica to let Dolores give up. With a long sigh, Jessica said, “Suit yourself.”
Finishing the words, Jessica turned and left. Her heart overflowed with sadness and she did not know how to face her daughter.
Dolores slowly squatted. She forced herself to be strong but her tears of sorrow uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks. She did not want to cry but she really could not control herself. The accumulated pain and sorrow in her heart totally shattered her.
Before Sampson came back from overseas, he did find them and got to know that they had already come back from overseas and her brother had died in a car accident.
He did not know what had happened during that meantime.
Sampson squatted down and comforted her. When he first knew this woman, she was just a teenager but she was already very sensible as she took care of her brother and mother.
Once, he had seen that she only had money to buy two boxed meals but she gave the two boxed meals to her mother and brother, telling Jessica that she had already eaten. But in fact, she had not eaten.
She was really a thoughtful and mature girl who would make someone’s heart ached with pity for her.
Sampson wanted to reach out to touch her head and comfort her but before his hand fell on her head, Dolores suddenly raised her head and looked at him, “Thank you for your help in the past, I’ll definitely pay you back if I have money in the future.”
Sampson’s hand paused above her hair. He slowly clenched, withdrew it and said with a smile, “Silly girl, I volunteered to help you so you don’t need to return the money.”
Dolores shook her head, “I know you’re a kind person, I’ll always remember it.”
If she had the ability in the future, she was bound to return the money.
Sampson helped her to get up, “Where do you live? I’ll drive you home.”
At this time, Dolores was worried about Jessica. So, she nodded and said her address.
When they reached the destination, Dolores opened the car door and got out. Sampson asked her, “Will you go back to the hospital to do an abortion again?”
Dolores turned to look at him and shook her head, “I won’t.”
It was not easy for her to escape from abortion and come back to her home.
