"Mommy, Mommy."
Just as Wendy felt melancholy, suddenly, Hendrick's voice reached her from nearby. She froze and quickly leaned closer, only to hear him calling out for Mommy in his sleep.
Her expression instantly turned cold.
By the way, where is Sheryl?
The child was so unwell, and where was his mother?
A surge of anger welled up from the depths of her heart.
This woman went shopping every day, played mahjong, or glued herself to her phone.
She had never seen her dedicate any effort to caring for her child!
Her expression grew darker.
...
In the afternoon, Sheryl returned with bags, looking content.
Today, she went shopping with Mrs. Bridgewater, engaging in a shopping spree. Clearly, she emerged victorious, purchasing all the bags and clothes that caught the other's interest, leaving her visibly irritated.
She was in high spirits, humming a song, but little did she expect that as soon as she entered the living room, she would be met with her future mother-in-law's stern expression, glaring at her fiercely.
She was taken aback.
"Auntie..." she stammered, attempting to be conciliatory.
"Sheryl, your son is seriously ill, and yet you find time to go shopping. What kind of mother are you?" Wendy scolded her sternly.
She was stunned and asked, "Auntie, are you saying that my son is sick?"
"Who else could it be?" Wendy scoffed, irritated with the neglectful mother.
Hendrick was sick?
Sheryl's heart filled with joy after a moment of freezing.
However, she wouldn't show it in front of Wendy.
Hendrick pouted aggrievedly, "I can't help it."
"It's really annoying." She continued her scolding in disgust, "You stay here, I'll go downstairs and call the nanny."
Following that, she contemplated fleeing and abandoning the child in the house.
Hendrick stood there, looking pitiful, his eyes brimming with tears.
Yet, just at that moment!
As Sheryl turned around, her gaze rose to meet Arthur standing at the doorway, his countenance stern, glaring at her with disapproving eyes.
She was left dumbfounded.
When did Arthur arrive? Why hadn't she heard any footsteps at all?
"Arthur..." Her legs gave way, and she stammered.
Arthur shot her a cold and stern look with his sharp eyes, swiftly walked to Hendrick's side, and lifted the child with his powerful hands.
