Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 27

Nicole was shocked and her face turned pale immediately.

"Mom..." Standing aside and sensing the weird atmosphere, Jim was frightened and held back what he was going to say.

"Jim, go get some hot water." Judy said in a harsher tone.

Not daring to disobey her order, Jim agreed obediently. Then he carried the thermos bottle and walked out of the ward, looking back repeatedly.

As soon as he went out, Judy cast a sharp glance at Nicole.

Nicole felt guilty, but she didn't dare to offend Judy. She had to move slowly to his mother's bed. After a while, she whispered, "Mom, I think it's not bad for me to divorce Austin. I felt much easier."

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes." Nicole was afraid that Judy would worry about her, so she quickly said, "Mom, I don't think it's a bad idea to get divorced. It's true. I live much more freely now, and I have more time to take care of you. I'm very happy."

Judy kept silent for a while and sighed with a hint of helplessness and sadness on her face. "Nicole, be honest with me. Did you get divorced because of me?"

Nicole was shocked. She hurriedly held Judy's hands and said, "of course not, mom, how could you think in this way? Before your surgery, I divorced Austin, not because of you."

"Then... Then why? " Judy didn't believe it.

Nicole bit her lips and didn't know how to tell her mother.

If she told her mother that she got divorced because Austin had an affair, she would be furious. But if she didn't tell the truth, her mother wouldn't believe that the divorce had nothing to do with her illness.

People who got sick were always sensitive, not to mention that their mother was afraid of being her burden.

After hesitating for a while, under the pressure of Judy, Nicole stuttered, "Mom, I divorced Austin because I didn't love him anymore. He fell in love with someone else. So we have divorced peacefully."

"Don't lie to me. Austin came to see me the other day. You two looked fine." Judy refuted immediately.

"Mom, I didn't lie to you. We didn't tell you about this because I didn't want you to be worried, which was bad for your health. You know that Austin and I don't have a deep relationship. We just got married. It wasn't a big deal to separate peacefully."

Judy stared closely at Nicole as if she wanted to find out the flaws on her face, and said, "Let's leave it aside for how inappropriate you are towards marriage. I ask you, did the Liang family pay for the medical expenses?"

When it came to this, Judy seemed to think of the day when she was insulted by Selina. She breathed rapidly and looked even worse.

Nicole was afraid that her mother would pass out again, so she immediately comforted her mother, "Mom, don't worry. Listen to me slowly. The doctor said that the most fear for you now is to be angry. Don't be angry."

"I won't be angry if you tell me the truth."

"Mom, when we decided to have the surgery for you at the beginning, I really couldn't get any money in my pocket, so I did borrow some money from Austin. But as soon as I got the money, I immediately gave it back to him. I don't owe him any money at all now." Nicole said to her mother.

Judy frowned and asked, "Why Austin's mom..."

"That's because Austin hasn't told his mother about it!" Nicole also became angry when she mentioned this. "Austin apologized to me. He said he didn't do it on purpose. But I think he just came here to make trouble."

Nicole said angrily. But when she saw Judy's sullen face, she hurriedly added, "Mom, we have divorced. We don't owe them anything. Don't think about it anymore. Just take care of yourself."

Since Nicole got married with Austin, the Du family had known Selina's character well. Judy shook her head with a sigh.
