You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 8

Coralie Chariott stirred the oat porridge in the plastic container. After it was at the right temperature, she fed a small spoonful to Hera Jean.

"Mom, have a bit. I have asked for a leave of absence to take care of you today."

Just as she finished speaking, Hera raised her hand that was covered with gauze and knocked over the bowl of porridge.

The bowl of hot porridge spilled out and splashed on Coralie's wrinkled skirt.

"You still want to lie? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

Hera shouted at her. She didn't look like the kind and gentle mother she used to be.

Coralie was already having a fever and felt extremely dizzy so she almost lost her balance when Hera knocked over the bowl of porridge.

She reluctantly walked into the toilet and looked at herself in the mirror...

Shocked, ashamed, and angry.

Coralie thought that nothing had happened since she didn't do anything with Skylar yesterday until she saw the hickeys on her neck.

Some were light but some were deep-colored.

In addition to her fever, she was blushing. From the perspective of the others, this obviously looked like she had just had a romantic tryst with a man!

Coralie stayed in the bathroom and did not go out for a long time.

No wonder the nurse and her mother said those things about her.

"What's wrong? You have nothing to say? Even if you don't have the money to pay for our medical bills, we still can't let you sell yourself!"

The sound of Hera sobbing outside could be heard.

"Mom, mom, it's not what you think. It's because Howard drank too much last night that he was behaving like this."

Coralie went out to explain.

At this time, she didn't want to tell her mother that she had already gotten a divorce. After all, in Hera's eyes, women were the subsidiary of a family, and the men were the pillars.

As long as Coralie was married to Howard, she should live her life as it is.

Divorce? It was a disgraceful thing.

Her mother was already suffering from such a serious injury so it wouldn't be appropriate to tell her now that she had gotten a divorce with Howard. Carolie was worried that it might worsen her mother's condition.

"Is that so?"

Hera looked at Coralie in disbelief.

"It's true. Mom, he has to go on a business trip this morning, so last night..."

Coralie told a lie, and she was anxious.

She was anxious at the thought of her lying for a brute. And she had no idea when such lies could be brought to an end.

Hera's angry expression finally eased when she heard Coralie's explanation. She hurriedly called Coralie to come out. "Sorry, Coralie, I was worried just now. Howard is a good child. We shouldn't talk behind his back."

Hearing Hera's words, Coralie felt like her throat was stuck that she can't say a word. After a long pause, she finally said, "Mom, I'll go change my clothes and see brother after that."

She really wanted to tell Hera that she had gotten a divorce because Howard had cheated on her.

If it was in the past, she would have definitely said it, but now Hera was so weak that she couldn't say it out loud.

In the supermarket at the entrance of the hospital, Coralie bought the cheapest T-shirt and pants with her card and put a scarf around her neck before she dared to go back into the hospital to see Wayne.

Since Wayne's wounds were on his back, he could only lie on his sides.

When he saw Coralie, he immediately showed a big smile and said. "Sister, you're here."

His smile was very warm, which made Coralie's felt even more uncomfortable. She sat by Wayne's bed and held his hand. "Wayne, I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself. Look at us now, we're fine."

Wayne was very sensible. He comforted Coralie first instead.

In fact, he had also heard the nurse's gossip, but he chose to believe in Coralie.

"I think I will continue to be lonely. Lonely all my life..." A ringtone sounded.
