You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 172

Kelly was staring at the ceiling of her house while she was leaning on the backrest of a sofa. She was very exhausted after the inevitable fight with her son, Bill. What she was afraid of was seeing his son protecting the woman who killed her husband. It was the first time that Bill had anger in his eyes for her. Ever since Bill was a good son. He never had a fight with her. Though he was aloof and cold, she could understand it. Kelly knew her son gave up his childhood and his youth for Sky Corporation. At a very young age, he was a self-made billionaire and she was always proud of her son’s achievements.

Kelly closed her eyes remembering Bill as a little boy. Admittedly, Adam was really a xerox copy of Bill when he was young. If it wasn’t for Arabella, she could have been a great grandmother to Adam.

When she opened her eyes, intense loneliness filled the air. Her huge living room had no one and became very lonely. Her huge family house became a very sad place. Then Kelly started imagining things in every corner of her house. She saw Ed and Bill with her eating in the dining area. In the corner, she saw young Bill reading his books. Ed was sipping his coffee while reading his newspaper in the living room.

Kelly’s tears went out remembering the family she once had and now she was knocked out by the fact that she was left alone.

She opened her eyes and wiped her tears trembling then she felt dizzy and after a while, she suddenly collapsed.

“Sir, Mrs. Sky, your mother collapsed. We are on our way to Sky Med.” The old family butler reported in a hurry.

Bill was stunned for a moment and stormed out.

When he got in the hospital, doctors were checking on Kelly. When they saw Bill, they bowed to give him respect as the president of the hospital.

“Talk,” Bill ordered with a stern noble face.

“Mr. Sky, your mom is out of danger.” The first doctor urgently reported.

Bill didn’t answer and just look at her mom who was sleeping on the patient’s bed.

“Good.” He muttered.

“But… “The doctor was a bit hesitant to tell him.

Bill’s sharp eyes landed on the doctor that made the doctor swallow her saliva first before he continued. “Your mom has coronary heart disease.” The doctor then announced.

“She would undergo some medications and rest assured we will do our best to cure your mother, Mr. Sky” The second doctor sounded.

Bill’s expression didn’t change but he’s absorbing everything.

“This disease is fatal if not well treated. Stress, exhaustion are factors that trigger this illness. Please avoid any circumstances that would make her unhappy and sad.” The third doctor ended the conversation.

Then the three doctors exited the room after they politely bowed at him.

Left with his mom, Bill looked at Kelly seriously.

He strode closer to her when Kelly opened her eyes slowly.

She smiled seeing her only son. “Bill, my son. Come here closer.” She sounded weak.

Bill with two arms folded in front, walked forward.

Kelly reached out her son’s hand and he had no choice but to get it.

“I’m happy that you are the first person, I saw when I opened my eyes,” Kelly spoke with a sad and happy mixed tone.

Bill just looked at her mom like he was studying her.

“You know, before I collapsed, I saw you and your dad. We are together in our home.” Now, she sounded sad. “That big mansion is once a home but now….” Kelly continued but she staggered and tears came out from the corners of her eyes.

Bill was unmoved.

“That mansion Bill was once a home but…” Kelly said it again and wiped her tears. “Because of Arabella, that mansion was now empty.” Kelly’s tone became angry and full of resentment. “She ruined our family, Bill!” Kelly was a little hysterical when she uttered all her words.

“Calm down, mom.” Bill was alarmed when he saw Kelly was shivering. “I’m gonna call the doctor.” Bill hurriedly said but when he was about to turn around his mother held onto his hand tightly not allowing him to go.

“I will only calm down if you promise me to divorce that woman and you are not in love with her,” Kelly said shivering and weak.

“Okay. She is just the mother of my son. Nothing else.” Bill answered coldly.

After hearing him, Kelly let out a heavy breath as satisfaction from what she heard from his son.

“So, you mean to say, you are just good to her because of Adam?” She wanted to make sure so she asked again. “Are you planning to revenge your father?” She added excitedly.

“Yes,” Bill replied quickly.

Kelly smiled and the shivering of her hand lessened. Then she closed her eyes. “Can you promise me one thing, my son?” She asked lovingly.

Bill could feel his mother had regained her calm through her hand. He didn’t answer her but her eyes were fixated on her.

“Do not fall in love with the murderer of your father. You can fall in love with any woman in the city but not her. Can you promise me?” Kelly uttered weakly.

Bill took a deep breath. “She’s nothing to me.” He answered. “Sleep now mom and regain your strength.” Bill took his hand and kissed her on the forehead then strode away.

Kelly smiled when she heard the answer of her son. It was quite satisfying for her but she knew she had to still do something to make Arabella disappear from their lives. Even if Bill would not love her, still she didn’t want to see her around with her son and grandson. Even in her sleep, she could see her husband urging her not to let Arabella enter Bill’s life. There she concluded that even Ed cursed her.

“Excuse me, ma’am, where’s my father?” Adam asked the old housemaid in the house.

“Oh… young master please don’t call me ma’am. I am you servant.” The old woman was startled by Adam’s politeness. She had not encountered any kid with a good attitude in his generation and age.

“It’s okay ma’am. I’m more comfortable with it.” Adam winked at the old woman.

Mrs. Mary Garner was Bill's nanny before. She was already a widow and she was asked by Bill to take care of his son and be the master housekeeper of his mansion. She was just hired by Bill yesterday and the rest of the servants just to cater to the needs of his son since he didn’t like other people in his house.

As his nanny before, she could tell the difference between the two boys. Bill as a boy was serious, focused and his smile was once in a blue moon while Adam was a jolly polite kid. She could easily say that his mother raised him well and she was excited to see his mother in person. Bill had announced in advance that she would be living with them and she was coming tonight.
