Chapter 398 Awkwardness

I gawked at Kristy as she walked in. It seemed like she wanted to hold my hand, but she was blocked by Cinder's body

Embarrassed, she stood in front of the bed. She pondered for a long time and then opened her mouth, saying, "Olive, my girl..."

"Mrs. Woods!" I looked up and interrupted her

I called her "Mrs. Woods" instead of "Mom"

Since we parted in Antarctica, she had been so busy with work that she had not had time to go through the formalities of disconnection with me. Still, I had long since stopped thinking of her as my mother

I would have my baby, and I would be the

mother I wanted to be. I didn't need her anymore

As I thought so vindictively, the expression on my face turned cold unconsciously

Kristy's eyes dodged, and I could see the hint of sorrow and sadness in her eyes, but I didn't think I'd fall for it again

When I was rescued from the snowy mountain, and my life was hanging in balance, she, asked by Aaron and Cinder, pretended to feel sorry for me very calmly. What a terrible, cold-blooded woman she was! There was no emotion she couldn't fake!

I was so close to falling into her trap, thinking that she indeed loved me as her daughter. This time, I wouldn't believe her again whatsoever

Even though right now, she was standing across from me, looking hurt, I'd rather guess it was her lame disguise

"Mrs. Woods, I don't know why you suddenly show up. Well, I don't need your visits, and I'm not a child anymore."

I looked Kristy straight in the eyes again and was calm when I spoke to her again

However, clearly, in Kristy's eyes, my calmness meant that I was still mad at her

Despite Cinder's hostility towards her, she tried to get close to me desperately. "Olive, stop saying that. I know you are very upset with me, but right now, I'm really concerned about your health. You have to believe me. I'm the only one of these people who's ever been a mother."

"Have you ever been a mother?" I mocked her with a smile

Kristy's face was filled with awkwardness at once, and for the first time, I felt so great in her presence

"Who let her in just like that?"

At the door came Aaron's voice, eagerly questioning the nursing staff. I even heard the young woman in charge of the visitors explain somewhat aggrieved that she had seen Kristy's identity information and confirmed that Kristy was my mother before letting her in

I was speechless the same as Aaron at the door. I was annoyed at the natural biological connection Kristy and I had, and I went over and over the severance of our relationship

"T'm sorry, Olive. I invited Mrs. Woods. But..

When I told her what happened to you, she put her work at the station aside

"What I'm trying to let you know is that if you decide to keep the baby and wait for the report with yet-to-know results, then I hope to hear you say you're doing it out of love instead of anger or a grudge."

It wasn't until Aaron came in, looked at me guiltily, and explained that he was the one who had called Kristy back to talk things out with me that I came to my senses and smiled at him

Then I said, "You don't have to apologize for it

It's not your fault."

So Kristy learned about what happened to me from Aaron

Sure enough, I was right

Even Cinder came all the way from New York to be with me without hesitation when she heard something through the grapevine. Yet Kristy, my so-called mother, knew I was in danger only after being told by Aaron. Then she showed up

I couldn't tell if I was used to such a thing or vaguely disappointed

Kristy was clearly rattled. She knew exactly what I was thinking, but she couldn't defend it against the facts

She didn't have to explain anything. I wouldn't believe her anyway

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something when she was interrupted by Aaron

He said, "Mrs. Woods, I'm sure you saw the email. As I wrote in the email, I invited you here

to have a talk with you in the reception room next to the ward. I don't want you to come directly to Olive."

"T saw it, Aaron, but she's my daughter. I ... owe her an apology for everything I've done."

Kristy's face was slightly red, and her voice trailed off in the middle of her sentence. I was certain that she was very embarrassed to be accused of this by a junior while not having the slightest confidence to talk back

I didn't intend to believe her apology, but I couldn't stand the awkwardness any longer

Besides, Aaron had just explained to me in such a sincere way why he had asked Kristy to be here. I hated to put my husband in a dilemma

So, before Kristy could say anything again, I got

out of bed with the help of Cinder's hand and pointed out the door

"Let's talk, Mrs. Woods."
