Before this, Lucy Katz was always filming, so she simply said a few words to her mother before leaving.
She had to have a nice long chat with her mother since she finally had some time today. Her mother had been tormented by her illness and lost some weight.
Lucy’s heart ached at this.
At the hospital.
“Why did you come so early today?”
Her mother was curious because Lucy would usually visit late at night, yet she came in the evening today.
“We finished filming the series today, so I came here to accompany you. I was afraid you’d feel bored all this while,” she said and smiled.
Lucy’s mother secretly decided to entertain Lucy after seeing that her daughter was in the mood to chat.
“You’ve been coming here late every night. Now that you finally got off work early, why don’t you go home and have a good rest? I’m here all day and won’t run away. I’m just afraid your body can’t take it from running around so much.”
Lucy’s mother knew that her daughter had been busy and finally saw Lucy sitting in front of her today.
“Don’t worry.”
Lucy’s hard work was nothing compared to the 24-hour suffering her mother was going through.
She knew that she could not do anything for her mother, so she could only take good care of her.
“No. Mom’s telling you to have some time for yourself. You were either always at the office or here with me.”
Lucy’s mother held her hands.
“Mmmm...who else would I share my time with? You’re not feeling well lately, so the only thing I can do is come to visit you.”
“I’m happy that my daughter is so filial. But I want to tell you that you’re no longer young and should find yourself a boyfriend. I don’t know how much longer I can be here with you. If you have a boyfriend, bring him over so Mom can take a look.”
Lucy’s mother did not know how much longer she would live, so she was afraid that once she went, no one would be there to take care of Lucy. Her only wish was for Lucy to find a boyfriend so that when she passes, she would know that someone would be taking care of Lucy on her behalf.
“Oh Mom, these things can’t be rushed.”
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Lucy wanted to run away.
She did not know why Joel Foster kept lingering in her mind at that moment.
Even though Lucy knew that Joel had given up on her after the previous incident, why did she suddenly think of him when her mother mentioned the word “boyfriend”?
Was it possible that she really liked him?
No. Impossible.
Although Lucy secretly desired Joel, she had to remind herself not to think about him because he was just a playboy.
“Okay. Stop dreaming. It’s already late, so go home and rest for 2 days.”
Lucy’s mother saw that the sky was getting darker and immediately asked her to go home.
Her mother knew that she was unwell.
“Okay. I have a day off tomorrow, so I’ll come over again.”
Lucy saw that the woman on the bed was getting tired.
She did not want to disturb her mother so she took her purse and went home.
At the bus station.
