10 Chapter 10: How Can You Call Me Mom
Translator: 549690339
“Isabelle, if you really want to make amends, leave here and let Mom have some peace. She doesn’t want to see you.”
“Michael…” Isabelle grabbed Michael Gallagher’s hand, “I won’t leave. I want to stay and take care of Aunt. You know, she used to like me a lot. It must be because some people slandered me in front of her…”
“Leave, Isabelle.”
Isabelle was stunned, seemingly unable to believe her own ears.
“I’m tired.”
Isabelle looked at the exhausted man in front of her, feeling like cold water was poured over her.
She didn’t expect Michael Gallagher to really drive her away.
Isabelle’s face turned pale, almost unable to stand. After a while, she slowly said: “Then I’ll wait for you outside.”
She glared at Molly Walker and quickly ran out of the room.
Only she and Michael Gallagher were left in the long corridor.
Molly looked at the door of the emergency room, feeling suffocated.
She looked at Michael Gallagher: “Let’s expedite the divorce proceedings.”
Since everything is laid out for her mother-in-law, it’s time to proceed with the final divorce process.
Michael Gallagher wanted to ask her about her relationship with Joshua Thompson, but in the end, he only said one word: “Okay.”
Molly looked at the man she had loved for many years, feeling bitterness spread through her heart.
So they had finally come to this point.
In order to find the truth about her grandmother’s death, she must first let go of Michael Gallagher.
The emergency room door opened, the doctor walked out, took off his mask, revealing a solemn face: “The patient mainly suffered a head injury with a mild concussion.”
Molly breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a mild concussion, which was good.
“However…” the doctor paused, “We noticed during the rescue that she had some organ damage. We recommend further tests to confirm her condition.”
Organ damage!
Molly’s legs went weak, almost unable to stand.
Her grandmother’s diagnosis of organ damage led to a late-stage cancer diagnosis.
After marrying Michael Gallagher for three years, her mother-in-law helped her through the toughest times. Although she was an elder, Molly considered her more like a mentor, filling the void in her family’s affection.
A disease that could affect internal organs wouldn’t be a minor illness.
Unspeakable grief emerged in Molly’s heart.
Seeing the doctor’s forced smile, Michael Gallagher also had a bad feeling.
“Let her have a full check-up, what else can we do?”
“Stay with the patient, talk to her more in the near future as there may be post-concussion symptoms.”
After the doctor left, Molly looked at Michael Gallagher and noticed the trace of a desolate expression on his handsome face.
After her brother and father had died, and now her mother falling seriously ill, she realized that Mr. Gallagher, glamorous as he appeared, had a thin relationship with his own family, just like her.
Seeing his distress softened Molly’s voice: “The results are not yet out; perhaps they won’t be as bad as we think.”
Comforting him was also comforting herself.
Michael Gallagher looked at her, paused, his thin lips tightening, and nodded.
A nurse brought the sleeping Lana Lewis into the hospital room. As Michael Gallagher and Molly were about to approach, Isabelle, who seemed to have been waiting for them, hurriedly ran over.
“I saw Aunt entering the general hospital room. How is she now? Is she fine?” Isabelle’s eyes showed a hint of joy, “I knew Aunt would be fine since she has good fortune.”
Her joyful and relaxed tone was strikingly out of place in the quiet atmosphere.
Seeing no smiles on Molly and Michael Gallagher’s faces, the words in Isabelle’s mouth choked: “What… What happened?”
“You should go home first.” Michael Gallagher finally recovered his voice, “We can talk about it next time.”
Isabelle was still being driven away.
The flames of her anger were instantly extinguished.
Finally, she stiffened her neck and nodded her head: “Okay.”
If it had been before, she would have asked why directly, but now with Molly here, she worried about unintentionally pushing Michael into someone else’s arms.
She could only obediently nod and pretend not to know anything with a magnanimous air.
“I’m leaving now, Michael. Don’t be too tired. Take good care of yourself.”
Isabelle smiled through her tears as she turned and left.
Seeing Isabelle leave, Molly said, “I want to stay in the hospital to take care of Mom.”
Seeing her firm resolve, Michael Gallagher suppressed the refusal on the tip of his tongue: “Okay.”
His low, hoarse, magnetic voice said, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. I did it of my own will. After all, Mom has always been kind to me.” As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and quickly reassured, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Mom anything about our divorce. Remember to be on time at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten the day after tomorrow.”
Molly’s tone was natural, and her smile sweet.
Watching her casually discussing their divorce, Michael Gallagher’s eyes darkened.
She was so eager to divorce him?
Each time she calmly mentioned divorce, even his best mood would be ruined.
Molly didn’t notice his expression and headed straight into the hospital room.
Some things had to be brought up after all.
Maybe it was more decent for her to do so.
He had once given her warmth and rescued her from the abyss, but for the sake of her grandmother, Molly had to cut off these ties.
…
Lana Lewis slept for a day and a night, and she stayed by her side for the same amount of time.
The sunlight filtered in, shining on Molly’s eyelids.
As she woke up, she found herself looking at a gentle smiling face.
“If you’re tired, just keep sleeping.”
Molly blushed: “Mom.”
“What did you call me?” Lana Lewis’s face sank.
Molly’s heart trembled as she asked softly, “Mom?”
“Nonsense, who are you to call me Mom? I don’t remember having a daughter like this!” Lana Lewis’s face was extremely displeased, “Where is my son?”
She stretched her neck and looked outside.
Seeing her reaction, Molly’s heart sank.
Mother-in-law’s condition was not right!
There was someone outside the door, seeing her stretch her neck, and quietly walked in.contemporary romance
It was Isabelle who had been waiting outside for an unknown amount of time.
“Ah… Aunt…” Isabelle walked up timidly.
Although Lana Lewis disliked her, she still decided to come and apologize. Even if Lana continued to dislike her, she had to show her kind side to Michael Gallagher.
Lana Lewis stared at her without moving.
Isabelle felt panicked, afraid that Lana would drive her away again.
However, to her surprise, Lana actually waved her over: “It’s you, come here, let Aunt have a good look at you.”
Isabelle was stunned.
Although she thought Lana’s attitude was a bit strange, she still nervously walked over.
Molly frowned.
Seeing her still standing there, Lana turned coldly to her: “I don’t need you to take care of me anymore, get out.”
The stark contrast in her icy attitude made Isabelle’s eyes widen.
Isabelle glanced at Molly and smirked: “Can’t you understand what Aunt is saying? She’s telling you to leave.”
