Stanley and Josh Batton both looked at Sharon Lindt, waiting for her to speak.
"Your dad will be returning from overseas next Monday. Please keep your schedules empty in the evening so that you'll have stto visit him," Sharon said.
"Alright." Stanley nodded before turning to leave.
Josh nodded as well before following Stanley out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the two left, Catherine Batton looked at Sharon before hugging her affectionately. "Mom, can I stay till dad comes home? I really miss him." "No, you may not. Your studies are more important." "But mom... Please?" Catherine began acting like a child again, shaking Sharon's arm gently. "Please, mom? Dad must misstoo..." Catherine begged and begged, even looking at Sharon with puppy dog eyes.
Eventually, Sharon couldn't help but to give in. "Alright, alright, you can leave next Tuesday instead..." "Yay! Thanks mom, you're the best!" Catherine cheered as she raised her arms in the air like a child.
"Silly kid..." Sharon sighed, a smile on her face as she stroked Catherine's hair. "Well, since you've been caught skipping school anyway, you don't need to hide in a hotel anymore. You can stay in our villa till you leave next Tuesday." "Then... Can I sleep together with you before dad comes home?" Catherine asked as she wrapped her arms tight around Sharon's waist.
Sharon's heart kept melting tonight. Her daughter was really something else. "Alright, alright, fine... Clinging on to your mother... You're not a kid anymore you know?" Though she sounded like she was complaining, her tone was warm and caring.
** While all this was happening, Emily Quest was wearing a hospital gown as she walked slowly toward Mary Sullivan's room.
She gently placed her ear against Mary's room. There didn't seem to be anyone else inside. With that knowledge in mind, she knocked on the door.
"Cin..." Mary's muffled voice could be heard from behind the door.
Emily pushed the door open and entered.
The moment she saw Mary, Emily immediately put on a worried facade.
Mary was watching television on her bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer whole body was wrapped in bandages except for her head. She looked exactly like a mummy.
Emily tried her hardest to not laugh at the sight of this.
When Mary saw Emily, she was momentarily stunned. "Emily? Why are you here?" SEAR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Emily lowered her gaze as she closed the door behind her without looking at the handle. Slowly, she walkedn towards Mary before sitting right next to her. "By coincidence, I was also admitted to the shospital. I just recently found out that you were here so I thought to visit you."
"I've heard stories about why you're here." Emily let out a deep sigh. She faked scrocodile tears before lifting her head to look at Mary. Her gaze started from her waist down all the way up to the top of her bandaged head. "Mary... Wasn't dad acting too cruelly?"
Mary sneered at that. "I know right? It's no doubt all because of Xyla Quest's meddling. She must have exposed me, that piece of sh*t. From what I've heard, your situation isn't any better than mine. Why did you cover?" "Well, I heard that you were badly injured. Do I need any other reason to cover to visit? We haven't talked in a long tafter all, Mary," said Emily.
"Fair enough. I've also heard that my brother won't be undergoing the divorce with you, at least for the tbeing. Is that true?" Mary asked in return.
