Chapter 1034 Country Girl
Although Dolores was blaming him, she didn't mean to blame him for real. She felt so sorry for him.
"I'm back safe and sound, Mom." Andrew could tell Dolores's position upon her voice. He reached out to hug her and comfort her. Dolores reached out first. Andrew patted her on her back. "I won't worry you anymore in the future."
In the past, Dolores always held him. Now they were hugging each other. Dolores was held in his arms. Andrew was pretty tall and strong. It seemed as if he was holding a petite girl in his arms. "Have you been to the hospital yet? When will your eyes recover?" Dolores cared about this matter.
"I'm taking the medicine now. My eyes will recover soon. Don't worry." Andrew's tone was quite happy and relaxing. His attitude told her that he was pretty well. "I want to see Grandma." "Okay." Dolores took his arm.
"Come over, Andrew." Jessica wave at him. Dolores led Andrew to her.
"Hi, Grandma," Andrew whispered, "I'm sorry for your loss."
Jessica pulled his hand. "I heard you are blind. I can donate my cornea to you."
All people at the scene fell into silence.
They couldn't help feel soreness in their noses.
Even Andrew was a strong man, his eyes reddened. If love was rare in this world, the family affectionate was more precious. It was selfish, sacrificing, beautiful, and touching.
"I'll recover soon, Grandma. I don't need the cornea." Andrew sat next to her and put his arm on her shoulder. "When I was young, you held me and brought me up. This time, let me accompany you more. OK?"
Jessie said, "OK."
In the past, Kevin was with her. Now he had passed away, Andrew believed that she must be quite lonely.
"Hi, Aunt Chloe," Bonnie saw Chloe come in and greeted her.
Chloe answered and talked to Jessica for a short while.
Joshua approached Dolores and whispered in her ear, "Aunt Chloe and Uncle Noah fought, Mom."
Dolores turned to look at him.
Joshua nodded. "When they landed, she was still angry with Uncle Noah."
Dolores patted him, glaring at him, hinting that he should stop gossiping about the elders.
"I've got married and I have a job. I'm also an adult," Joshua retorted.
"Oh, stop it!" Dolores couldn't do anything with him.
Andrew's expression slightly changed. No one would notice it without a closer look. Only Bonnie had seen it -- as soon as Chloe came in, Andrew's expression changed.
Chloe called Dolores out of the lounge, saying that she wanted to talk to Dolores.
Dolores ask her children to accompany Jessica here so that Jessica wouldn't feel lonely.
Chloe and Dolores went to a quiet corner. Chloe still felt aggrieved as she believed that what she had done was for Andrew's good. Noah didn't understand her and even argued with her. She felt that her self- esteem had been hurt in front of Andrew.
Right then, she was still angry with Noah.
"Dolores," Chloe said, "Has Noah told you everything on the phone?"
"What?" Dolores was confused.
"When they found Andrew, a girl has saved him."
Dolores didn't understand, because no one had told her about it. Noah directly called Matthew earlier.
Matthew only told her that Andrew was injured in his mission. Dolores noticed that Chloe mentioned that Andrew was found and saved.
"Tell me more details," said Dolores.
"Andrew encountered the danger during his mission. He was missing for almost a whole month. A girl who knows Chinese traditional medicine has saved him and come back with him. In my house, I found that girl had an evil intention to Andrew, so I sent her away. For this matter, Noah is angry with me."
Dolores listened to her but her expression didn't change.
It turned out Andrew was missing for a whole month.
If he hadn't been saved, he might not be able to come back.
Dolores's body shook a bit. She grabbed the handrail next to her to keep her balance.
"Dolores, do you think I've done something wrong? Andrew can't see anything now. How could he like a girl whose face he hasn't seen at all? That girl is quite good-looking, but obviously, she has played some dirty tricks. I heard she's an orphan. She's a country girl. How could this girl deserve Andrew?"
Dolores was shocked by the news, but she had a clear mind. "She has saved Andrew, so she's our benefactor. As other matters, Andrew isn't a child any longer. He has his own judgment."
"Then you mean I've made a mistake, don't you?" Chloe looked annoyed.
Dolores said, "That's not what I mean. No matter what, you shouldn't have sent her away. We must thank her."
"I tried to give her some money but she refused. She's young but quite stubborn. She lacks education so she's so rude." Chloe didn't realize how wrong she was so far.
Dolores didn't have time to deal with this matter now. She decided to wait until the funeral was over and Andrew's eyes recovered.
"Noah and you are not kids any longer. You are elders now. Why do you still fight? Do you want the children to mock you?" Dolores said in a deep tone. "You should be reconciled." After that, she went back to the lounge.
Chloe was left alone and standing there motionlessly.
She had thought that Dolores would take her side. However, she didn't expect that Dolores was angry with her.
She had done it for Andrew's good. She couldn't understand that no one appreciated her.
After Dolores entered the room, Bonnie pulled her to a corner and told her what she had found. "Mom, just now, when Aunt Chloe came in, I saw Andrew look quite annoyed. What did Aunt Chloe say to you? Is it anything to do with Andrew?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
