Chapter 5

I floated above them, laughing at Amber's fabricated words.

If she really wanted to leave and let me be with Lucas, she wouldn't have appeared in front of me with her illegitimate child when I was in late pregnancy.

The scene before me was really disgusting.

Before I could turn to leave, Amber's phone rang.

I looked at the flashing "Mom" on the screen, and couldn't help but feel a twinge in my nose.

I wonder how mom is doing.

We had promised to visit her together with Lucas, but I had broken that promise forever.

The sudden ringtone interrupted their intimacy. Although Amber was impatient, she still answered the phone gently:

"Mom, what's wrong? Huai? He's here..."

Lucas took the phone, sounding much more respectful.

"Mom..."

"Lucas, are you really not coming to see Youyou off?"

"Mom, Henry just had surgery, Chen Chen can't take care of him alone, I can't leave. Since Youyou is already with you, I'm relieved..."

"Moreover... moreover, Chen Chen and Henry are also your daughter and grandson, you shouldn't be partial..."

Hearing Lucas say this, mom's voice suddenly became hysterical:

"Lucas! Are you still human? Today is the seventh day after her death, even if you don't come to see Youyou, what about the child? He's your flesh and blood too..."

Lucas's hand gripping the phone suddenly tightened, his voice hoarse as he opened his mouth: "Mom, I..."

"Don't call me mom!" Mom's sharp crying came through the receiver.

"The thing I regret most in my life is listening to Youyou back then and adopting you! Causing my Youyou to die, two lives lost..."

"Since you won't come, then don't come anymore in the future."

"From now on, you have nothing to do with Youyou anymore. I won't even carve your name on her and the child's tombstone."

Mom hung up the phone after saying this.

Lucas stood there motionless, holding the disconnected phone, while I was anxious.

I wished I could fly to mom's side and comfort her.

I didn't know how mom, who was staying well in the nursing home, found out about my death.

But I guess it had something to do with Amber.

Hearing mom's desperate voice, my heart hurt more than being dismembered.

Seeing Lucas still standing there motionless, I angrily punched and kicked him.

I wished I could drag him to see my mom.

"What's wrong, Huai? Did something happen to mom?" It wasn't until Amber spoke that Lucas suddenly came back to his senses.

"Mom said... Zoe is dead."

"What nonsense are they talking about! How could that troublemaker Zoe possibly be dead?"

Lucas suddenly rushed out of the ward, slamming the door so hard it shook.

He didn't consider Henry who had just had heart surgery at all.

I floated beside him, constantly praying, hurry up, walk faster!

Don't let Amber call him back again!

But just as Lucas's figure was about to disappear, Amber's heart-wrenching cry came from behind: "Henry!"
