You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 60

Mildred chuckled at the other end of the phone. When she heard from Cameron that something happened to Shirley before, she was so anxious and even wanted to book an airline ticket so that she could fly back to the country as soon as possible. But later she learned that Bryan had saved Shirley and heaved a sigh of relief.

After the joke, Mildred said in a serious tone, “Shirley, you’d better think over this. After all, the two children all know that Bryan is their biological father and you can’t stop them from meeting their father for the rest of their lives. Moreover, you insisted on waiting for Bryan last night. You know what it means – you trust him more than you have imagined.”

Shirley was lost in her thoughts again.

Last night she drove Dawson’s dogs crazy with the help of perfume. Otherwise, she would have lost control of herself before Bryan came to save her.

And all in her mind at that time was to wait for someone.

But she herself had no idea about whom she was waiting for.

“All right, let’s stop here.” Mildred said in a gentle voice.

There came some busy tones from phone after a short while.

Shirley put down her phone and browsed the comments on the Internet again. Now most of the online users had a negative comment to Sabina. Shirley was so curious about the Thomas family’s next countermeasure and she wondered how Sabina would do to reverse the situation.

She surfed on the Internet for a longer while and then walked towards the two children.

Jacob studied Shirley with the corners of his eyes, while Emma was so guilty that she didn’t dare to look straight into Shirley’s eyes.

When the two children did something wrong, they usually didn’t dare to look into her eyes. It seemed like that they were the persons who disclosed the things that caused a sensation on the Internet.

“Jacob Thomas.” Shirley called his name in a serious tone.

Jacob froze. The blocks he built just now dropped onto the ground. Emma immediately stood up and ran towards the wardrobe. She opened the door, hided herself into the wardrobe, and then closed the door again.

Emma was rendered speechless by his sister’s reaction.

Was her reaction telling their mother that they were guilt-stricken?

Shirley stared at the wardrobe, feeling both angry and amused. She stood up, “What did you two do? Tell mommy truthfully.”

Emma slowly pulled open the door of the wardrobe and poked out her head from behind the door. She said in a cute voice, “Mummy, you have to go to work now. Hurry up to find Daddy. I and Jacob will be obedient.”

Shirley felt sulky.

In usual times, Emma would embrace her leg and ask her to carry her, refusing to let her go out. But now, when she did something wrong, she urged her to leave home.

These two children were really annoying now.

Shirley looked down at Jacob who was still sitting on the ground and called his name with her teeth gritted, “J-A-C-O-B T-H-O-M-A-S!”

“Alas, Mummy, you’re so wise, you must have guessed it, right?” Jacob slowly stood up. With a toy gun in his hand, he shrugged his shoulder as if he was about to accept the upcoming punishment from his mother, “I can’t bear her treating mommy like that and I’m afraid that she will hurt you one day. Mummy, if you are angry, you can beat me.”

After finishing the words, he reached out his hands with the palms upward.

Emma who was squatting in the wardrobe got tears in her eyes.

She was afraid of Shirley beating her palms the most, but she was not a coward.

She gently pushed open the door of the wardrobe, walked out of it, stood beside Jacob and then reached out her hands with her palms upward.

“Mummy, I will accept the punishment together with my brother.”

“You two…” Looking at the two children, Shirley felt distressed. She was not that angry now.

She squatted down and looked at the two children who were admitting their faults with their heads lowered. In the end, she couldn’t help putting her hands on their heads and gently rubbing their hair.

She recalled what Mildred told her tonight and asked, “Jacob, Emma, do you miss your daddy?”
