Finn left angrily.
Then I noticed Jessica.
She hadn't said a word since just now. When I looked at her, her face was full of tears.
I crouched down, took her hand and said, "Mom, there's no need to cry for such a scumbag."
"I..." Jessica lowered her head and bit her lip. She couldn't say anything.
I approached her and asked deliberately, "Isn't my master a good man?"
"Eh-hem."
As I talked about Ryan, he stood at the stairs and coughed.
I stood up and looked at him. "Master, I'll leave my mother to you. You go comfort her and I'm going upstairs first."
Ryan waved at me.
I went upstairs and entered the study room.
Maybe it was because Jessica finally found out what an asshole Finn is, or she got along well with Ryan these days, she realized Ryan's goodness.
Just a week later, Jessica returned to normal.
I sent Glenn away for the weekend and went to Patrick's place on Monday.
I had been counting days recently. Patrick would go abroad for treatment in three months, and about two months had passed by now.
Soon, he would leave for treatment.
I got off work on Monday and went to Patrick's house. When I opened the door, he was standing right at the door and that scared me!
He leaned forward and pulled me to his side. Putting his face against my hand, he said, "Baby, I miss you so much."
I crouched down and looked at him. "Sorry, I've been worried about my mom recently, but she's okay now."
"That's good."
He showed a beautiful smile.
I pushed him in.
I saw several game machines in front of the living room, and some game plates were scattered aside.
"These are..." I asked Patrick.
He smiled. "If Glenn wants to play games in the future, I can play with him. I already know how to play these, if he doesn't know, I can teach him." "You mastered all of these?" I was a little
surprised.
"Of course."
He nodded affirmatively.
I thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you teach me first? Glenn always complains about me for not playing the games well."
He held my hand and said, "Okay, let's eat first. I'll teach you after dinner."
Janice had already cooked the meal. After Patrick and I finished our meal, we sat together and played games in front of the TV.
Perhaps I really didn't have the talent for playing games, and I wasn't interested in this either. After playing for about two hours, I felt sleepy and bored. He also saw this in me, so he pressed pause, took the handle in my hand, and said, "Leave the matter of playing games with our son to me in the future."
"Great!"
I nodded in agreement.
He reached out his hand and held me directly on his lap. He leaned over and said, "Now, baby, should you help me take a bath?"
"You haven't taken a bath lately?"
I had lived in the Rosy's home for a week.
"Does it mean that this week..."
When I was lost in my imagination, Patrick showed a helpless expression. "How could it be? It's just that without you, I feel that I can't wash myself clean."
As he spoke, he controlled the wheelchair and carried me into the master bedroom.
I was very skilled at helping Patrick bathe now.
It took about an hour to do it.
I pushed him out of the bathroom. He lay on the bed and wrapped his arm around me. "I'll probably be overseas for the operation in two weeks."
