Cameron had walked into the room at that moment with a phone in his hand.
Shirley looked up after she had detected some stir, and she asked when her eyes were laid on her phone which was in his hands, “Who is it, Cameron?”
“It’s from the Moore family.”
Shirley’s brows were furrowed once she had heard that name, and she said briskly without a single hint of hesitation, “Don’t let me know if it’s from the Moore family.”
Since she had already made up her mind to leave this place, she should cut off any chances of her looking back.
After all, there was nothing more precious to her than her two babies in this world, so she could let go of anything just to protect them.
She couldn’t say for sure that Sabrina would not find out about the fact that Bryan had repeatedly approached her kids. If by any chance Sabrina were to misconstrue his actions and thought that she had intended to use the children to seduce him, it would be too troublesome then.
“But it’s Madame Moore whom is on the call, and she has mentioned that Mr. Moore is in a critical state…”
“What?” Shirley’s expression froze upon hearing the bad news, and the two children in her arms had even turned their bodies around to stare at Cameron as well.
Emma’s sobbing had stopped for a while as she was dumbstruck and petrified by the shocking news, but she soon bawled her eyes out again and asked desperately while grabbing onto Shirley’s clothing, “Has Daddy died, Mommy?”
Was he dead!!
The word had struck terror into Shirley as she could not bear to think about the consequences that would ensue if that were to happen.
If Bryan were to pass away from this, how could she possibly leave this place in one piece?
Even though she was not the one to blame for his current state, but the Moore family would still try to find hundreds of excuses to drag her into this mess.
Jacob put on a stern look and bellowed coldly, “Shut your mouth.”
Emma hurriedly raised her hands and covered her mouth, and even though she had made an utmost effort to suppress her crying, but tears kept streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably while her shoulders were twitching with long, racking sobs.
Jacob suggested in a calm manner, “I think it’s better for you to pay Daddy a visit to see how he’s doing, Mommy. He’s not to blame for the incident that has happened today as we’re the ones whom have clung onto him. I give you my word that Emma and I won’t ever find Daddy again from now onwards, and we will go to kindergarten every day without fail.”
In any case, what’s more important was to be able to stay here for now as nobody knew what the future would hold for them.
“Please, Mommy. We won’t go to Daddy again, and I promise that I will attend kindergarten tomorrow.” Emma swiftly picked up her bag after making her promise and fished out the two tubes of perfume that she had stolen from Shirley’s workroom. She immediately stuffed them into her hands while pleading again, “I have returned your perfume to you, Mommy, so please go and see Daddy now.”
Emma had clutched onto Shirley’s pants and was constantly shaking her grip on her to try to swerve her mind, while Jacob had also tightened his little fists and stared at Shirley with his eyes full of expectations.
Shirley clenched her fists and gazed down at them with a solemn expression, “This will be the last time. I’ll take a look at how he’s doing, so go and have some rest now.”
“That’s great, Mommy!” Emma excitedly threw herself at her and hugged her thigh upon hearing Shirley’s decision.
Jacob had also come near to Shirley, but his intention was not to wrap his arms around her thigh like Emma had done as he had pulled Emma away from her instead, “Why are you still holding on to Mommy’s legs? Let go at once so that Mommy can hasten to save Daddy’s life.”
“Hurry up and get going, Mommy.” Emma instantly released her tight grip on Shirley the moment some senses had been knocked into her.
Shirley did not know whether she ought to cry or laugh at their thoughtfulness as they had always been reluctant to let her go by clasping their arms around her thighs whenever she had to be away from home, but now they were actually urging her to leave on their own volition.
It would be a lie to say that she was not upset at all.
Bryan had somehow taken away some of her children’s love towards her.
When she had been pushed out of the bedroom by her kids, the door had shut on her at once.
Cameron was left flabbergasted from the scene just now as he stared at Shirley with a look of consternation on his face, “Mr.… Mr. Moore is their father?”
“I have always been by his side all these years whenever he has fallen ill and is required to take his medicine and shots, Madame Moore. Although I couldn’t help much in getting him to fall asleep now, he still needs someone whom can take care of him by his side at this moment.” Sabrina walked towards Scarlett and placed both her hands on her arms as she continued.
Scarlett lowered her head and shot a glance towards the pair of hands on her arms, and after casting her glimpse towards the person inside the room again with her whitened face which exuded an air of despondency, she finally nodded in agreement.
Sabrina rejoiced in her heart at Scarlett’s response, and she hurriedly promised, “Don’t you worry about it, Madame Moore. I will not let you down.”
“Go in now and be careful.” Scarlett uttered while turning her face away.
Sabrina was still slightly touched to hear that she had asked her to be more careful as it had proven that Scarlett was still a human being with conscience after all.
Although Scarlett had always disliked her, Sabrina was the one that would first come to her mind whenever she had to deal with matters regarding Bryan.
Sabrina nodded in reply and promptly pushed open the door to head inside the room.
She walked straight towards Bryan after she had entered the ward in a manner that was full of assurance as if her success of getting him to listen to her was already in the bag. When she had gotten closer, she grabbed his hand and called out to him gently, “Bryan!”
“Get lost!”
“Ah!”
Bryan had swung his hands and flung her away from him before she even had the chance to lay her hands on his arms.
His unexpected reaction had caught her by surprise; hence she had tumbled down to the ground as she shrieked out of fear.
Everyone whom was standing by outside the room was on tenterhooks while they took in the scene which had caused them to shiver in their boots.
In the end, Scarlett had to order someone else to tow Sabrina out of the room, and it was at that moment when she was being dragged out that Shirley had arrived at the hospital…
