You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 128

Hearing the doctor, Arabella froze on her spot. She couldn’t move even if she wants to. The air seemed to fill with the coldness that made her chill down to her spine. The different sensations in her body made her feel uncomfortable.

“Are you okay, Ms. Jones?” Seeing Arabella lost in her thoughts, the doctor snapped her back to her senses.

“Hmmm… Yeah.” Arabella’s words were stuck in her throat. She had to answer him but her words were not cooperating. Her mind was so messy right now.

“What about the other hospitals, doc? Maybe they also have what the Sky Medical Group has?” One could easily say that Arabella was not comfortable with the doctor’s idea.

“I’m sorry Ms. Jones. The center has no ability to accommodate your mom’s growing tumor so we need to transfer her immediately. Sky Medical Group is our best option but you know not all patients with money had given a slot there so you have to know someone inside to accommodate your mother.”

“Please let me know your decision so we can quickly process the transfer. I have to excuse myself since I have another patient waiting for me.” The doctor said to the girl who was obviously lost in her thoughts. He could not blame this girl to act helpless as Sky Medical Group is not just an expensive hospital but a home of VIPs with health problems.

Arabella just nodded to the doctor who rushed out to attain another patient. When she was left inside the room, she looked at Jaime with love and compassion.

The sorrow of her mother was imprinted on her face. The feeling that she pitied her so much but could not do anything for her mother made her feel so helpless and useless.

Why fate is so cruel?

Why does it have to be Sky Medical Group?

6 years ago, she was accused as the murderer of Ed Sky. How can she enter Sky Medical Group now?

If only her Aunt Kelly believed in her at that time but she didn’t instead she cut their ties and blamed her the death of her husband.

There’s no way.

But what kind of daughter she is if she only let her mom suffer until she dies? Is she just going to sit and wait when will her mother die then, go back to country Y when it's over?

No!

There must be a way!

Arabella couldn’t allow her mom to die without acknowledging her as her daughter and Adam as her grandson.

Bill Sky.

No!

It’s impossible.

He is the reason why her mother is in a struggling state right now.

He killed her father.

Most of all, he almost killed Adam and abandoned them.

After so many years, she tried her best to hide away from him and live normally despite her traumatizing past. How come she was put to a multi-layered limbo again?

No!

Bill Sky would not help her.

“Mom?” Adam suddenly showed up inside that his voice made Arabella regained her senses.

“Are you okay?” Damien asked who was standing beside Adam. The two were waiting for Arabella to come out but it took her so long to appear so they decided to enter inside and check on her.

“I… I am.” Arabella tried to smile a little to ease Adam and Damien’s worries but deep inside her, she really felt helpless but refusing to just give up her mom without doing anything for her.

“Okay, I think everyone had a very hard day today. Why not going on a movie date?” Damien asked trying to lighten up everyone’s mood.

Arabella and Adam didn’t answer and still thinking about their different concerns. Adam was still thinking about his grandma’s harsh words to him while Arabella was still caught in her deep thinking on how to save her mom.

“Oh, common guys! Let’s go now. Let’s give ourselves a short break then we come back here again later. Okay?” Seeing the mother and son’s lost expressions, Damien held their hands and dragged them out forcefully.

They went to the nearby mall. It was a new big high-end mall.

“Why we are here?” Arabella asked seeing the mall screaming of expensive high-end brands.

“Well, this is the only mall near the center. Just in case of emergency we can easily run back.” Damien explained.

“But the movie ticket here will cost us a fortune.” Arabella refuted. In her mother’s case, she had no money to waste.

“Don’t worry. It’s on me.” Damien answered and dragged them to the ticket booth.

After the movie, they walked out and find an ice cream parlor but Adam had to use the restroom so Damien accompanied him to the men’s room.

“I will check out on the ground floor first and I will call you two if I find one. Okay?” Arabella said before they separated ways. This time, it’s Arabella’s idea to treat Adam for ice cream. She knew her son was still bothered with his grandma’s words so she wanted him to forget it by enjoying one of his favorite sweets. Maybe it will help him to feel better.

Today, she didn’t wear any makeup and had her baseball cap on her head. Faded blue fitted jeans and a white fitted t-shirt paired with sneakers covered her body. Her long smooth hair danced on her back. She looked like a young and fresh student on a campus who is liked by everyone but her eyes had no innocence anymore.

A person who had been so many sorrows in life could not retain her innocence anymore. Unlike before, her eyes were cold and tough.

Standing alone on the escalator going down, she saw only a few people inside the mall. Her eyes wandered around until they landed on the most stunning guy with a very powerful aura surrounded by his bodyguards approaching the escalator going up.

Sh*t!

She could not help to tremble to realize who’s the familiar man is.

Bill Sky.

Instead of going down, Arabella got panicked and ran back to the top even running against the escalator’s direction. Good thing, she was just a few steps away from the start.

She saw another escalator going up so she jumped to it and to another escalator then, to another one. She stopped to catch her breath.

Why he’s here?

After 6 years, she still had a hard time taking her eyes away from him. He still had the magnet on her.

After 6 years, her anger still lingered on her and by seeing him it surged up. She gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists. She will never forget what he had done to her and to her family.

Walking around the 6th floor with an intensely fast heartbeat, her phone rang and she quickly answered.

“Mom? Where are you? Uncle Damien and I were already here on the ground floor.” Adam sounded worried.

“I will be right there. Please order me cookies and cream flavor will you? Enjoy eating your ice cream, I will be there shortly I am just buying something. Okay, sweetie?” Arabella had to make an alibi again. The boy had so much for this day, she didn’t want Adam to go worried.

“Sure mom. Please hurry before it melts.” Adam reminded her before they ended the call.
