Just then, someone pushed the room door open gently.
A middle-aged woman came out and asked, "Doris, has Edmund left?”
This woman was Doris's mother, Faith Saunders.
Doris quickly wiped away her tears and turned toward the woman as she nodded. "Yes, Mum. He has left."
Then, she hurriedly asked, "Mum, how’s Dad?"
Faith sighed. “Still the same-unconscious." 2
Noticing that Doris had just cried not too long ago, she swiftly stepped forward and asked in concern, "Doris, why are you crying? What did Edmund say to you? Didn't he give you his word that the kidney has been found? What did he say after that?"
Doris sighed and whispered, "Yes, the kidney has been found, but he wanted me to work for him and be his lover..."
"What?!" With her eyes wide open, Faith blurted out," This... isn’t this person your former classmate? How could he be so shameless?!”
Doris answered in extreme frustration, "I also didn’t know that he would become like this after a few years of graduation." 4
Faith hurriedly said, “Can't we just give him a bit more
Faith also nodded gently as she sobbed.
At this moment, Doris whispered, "Mum, you stay here with Dad. Let me go out for some fresh air..." 4
"Okay, you can go..."
Doris walked out of the room and came to the courtyard just below the in-patient department.
It was late at night, and the weather was cold. There was not a figure in the courtyard.
