After Jing Lu got home and took care of her grandchildren, she called James Feng to find out what in the world was going on about Christy, and whether he was familiar with the situation or not.
Yet after James listened to her story, he replied indifferently, "Everyone said that she adopted that child, then what makes you so interested in them? Please don't waste your time thinking about those stupid things, instead, focus on our matter now."
Indeed, the matters that they, mother and son, had to deal with have never been easy. They had to look for answers that bothered them and be more cautious in every step they took.
Jing Lu was surprised by her son's words just now, thus felt the urge to remind him again, "snap out of it; don't let a woman mess you up."
She didn't get the idea, how could he develop a feeling for such an ordinary woman like Christy? Was there something wrong with his taste? From all the evidence she found, it seemed like the only explanation was that she was James's shield from the start.
But even if this was the reason why, couldn't marriage guarantee it? He even got the marriage book.
James once again spoke reluctantly, "don't worry too much about my personal affairs, as long as I could take control of the overall situation, then everything's safe."
Still, Jing Lu was feeling uneasy. Could he split his private matters and official affairs? Moreover, Christy was still working in his office, and she could more or less likely affect her son's life!
James knew that woman had a close relation to him formally and personally, yet he didn't even bother to listen to his mother.
"Please, James, we should take control of these matters. Your elder brother made me disappointed in him, so you better don't make me lose hope for you as well!" Jing Lu yelled helplessly and angrily at James, hoping his son would cooperate.
Jing Lu did not expect her life would be a complete mess, and that's why she should not take things too seriously to live a peaceful life.
James listened to his mom's yelling numerous times, yet he coldly replied, "mind your own business." Well, for him, everyone should mind their own business before minding his matters.
No matter how strong or weak one's presence is in his life, it could more or less likely affect him for sure.
After James hung up, he walked up to the hospital bed again and sat down on the bedside chair. He took her weak hand and looked at her, with a grim expression in his face. "Hey darling, when will you wake up? Our babies grew up well, and they are so lovely!"
Perhaps the only person James would share his stories with was this ill woman. Her vital signs were in a good state, yet she hasn't shown any signs of consciousness.
"Oh right, sometimes their biological mother came over to visit them. Say, should we let her visit them often, or not?" James asked her again, and to no one's surprise, there was no response at all.
Also, even if An Ran couldn't regain consciousness anytime soon, James wanted to keep her in this world. He hoped she would wake up one day, and also hoped she could accept what had happened to their family.
Of course, his wishes were all excellent and perfect, but he was also worried if she could wholeheartedly accept another woman's children for him? Would she be willing to treat them with love? Would this be possible in the modern world that advocates women's rights?
"Now, you have to take care, okay? I have to go home to accompany our children for the next two days, and I will start working on Monday! You don't need to worry about anything as long as I'm with you, okay? I'll see you soon!" James was reluctant to go, but then he gently put her hand back to her side and took two steps back.
This kind of separation happened every week, and he did this every time he had to leave her.
James thought to himself as he walked out of the hospital ward, no matter how much he felt empty without her, he had to live his current life well! Only in this way, everything could move forward as quickly as before after she got back to him.
In the meantime, as soon as Christy and Wen took Justin back home, they quickly bathed the kid and let him brush his teeth. "Now sleep well, good night, Justin!"
"Okay, good night, mommies!" Justin replied happily. He was very happy because he got to spend the entire day with his mothers.
Soon after Christy and Wen watched him walk into his bedroom, they cleaned up and then got ready for their pillow talk.
