Chapter 864
While she was talking, Sasha’s mother moved the bucket out with some difficulty. I walked over to helpher and asked in an uncertain tone, “Do you drink this water?”
She nodded and replied, “It’s actually not that different from tap water. Once you boil it, it is safe todrink. A bucket of water outside costs me eight, so I can buy more meat for Renee with that money.”
The words came out of her mouth very naturally, as if that was how things were supposed to be. I wastaken aback for a moment, feeling a little sorry for them. Not knowing what else to say, I helped hercarry the bucket onto the water dispenser and briefly explained what she needed to give us to apply forthe fund. Subsequently, I left the hospital.
However, instead of going home, I went to the mall to get some clothes and supplies for children’s use,then headed back to the hospital. However, I did not see Sasha’s mother. As soon as I enteredRenee’s room, I could see she was up. She looked at me happily and said, “Ms. Stovall, you’re here.”
I nodded, then helped her put on the thick socks that I had just bought. “Where’s your grandma? Wheredid she go?”
The child thought for a while before she replied, “Uncle Shane came over just now and wanted to takeGrandma’s money, so she ran to the police station, probably to let them arrest him.”
I frowned upon hearing her words. Previously, Joseph had said that Sasha had a brother who wasaddicted to gambling. He had probably come to ask for some of Sasha’s compensation money. Clearly,the only thing that mattered was gambling in his eyes. The family was already in such a terriblesituation, yet he still came to demand money.
Noticing a phone number on the water dispenser, I made a call to the company. Soon, someonedelivered some water over. Since Renee probably had to stay in the hospital for quite a long time, Ibought a few more coupons of mineral water for the water dispenser and handed them to her. “When
there’s no more water in the dispenser, get Grandma to call the company to deliver more. You’ll onlyneed to give them this coupon, okay?”
She nodded. Although she was young, she understood my words.
I chatted with her a little longer until she fell asleep. Then, I headed for Moore Residence sinceSummer was on vacation recently, so she was probably hanging around with Emery. As Ashtonconstantly pampered her with many new clothes and toys, there were many items that Summertypically got bored of after only a short period of time.
Previously, I had always gotten someone to pack them up and send them over to the orphanage.However, I planned to go back and pack some up to give to Renee today.
When I arrived at Moore Residence, Cameron and Summer were swimming in the hot spring pool inthe yard. Summer played with a duck toy while dressed in a pink swimsuit. On the other hand,Cameron was making a call, seemingly to get someone over to give her a spa treatment.
Noticing that Emery was nowhere in sight, I turned to the maid beside me and asked, “Where’sEmery?”
“Ms. Moore and Mr. Zane took Xavier to J City because his grandmother wanted to see her grandson.Since it’s the holidays, they’re staying for a few more days!”
I had almost forgotten that on the second day after I returned from A City, Hunter told Emery that hehad already booked tickets to J City. I had not thought much of it then and only recalled it now.
“Help me go pack up some of Summer’s clothes, shoes, and toys that she doesn’t normally wear oruse. I’ll take them with me later!”
The maid was puzzled. “Are you sending it to the orphanage?”
I shook my head. “No. My friend’s daughter is around the same age as Summer, so I thought that sinceSummer doesn’t really wear many of her clothes, it’d be a waste to leave them around. I’ll be goingover to visit her later, so I’ll bring some with me then.”
The maid nodded in reply.
Just then, Summer noticed my presence and came out of the pool, wrapping herself in a bath towel.She said, “Mommy, have you been busy lately? You’ve not been coming to see me. Granny says thatyou have a lot of work. Is that true?”
I nodded and smiled. “Yeah, Mommy’s been busy lately, but I’ve been missing you. Look, I took time offto see you, didn’t I?” As I spoke, I dried her wet hair with a towel.
Just then, Cameron came over with a towel wrapped around her as well. “How has Fuller Corporationbeen? Did anything happen?”
I shook my head. “No, it’s fine!”
She nodded and replied, “Since you rarely come here and there are swimsuits in the house, why don’tyou go take a dip in the pool? The hot water helps to improve blood circulation and is good for thebody. Ashton said that your body is always cold regardless of the season, so I think you should soak inthe hot springs more often. Also, I’ve called someone to give me a spa treatment later. I think youshould join me.”
I shook my head and replied, “I’ve something on later, I…”
“Don’t reject me. Your body is what’s most important. I heard that Ashton recently purchased a house inthe northern part of the city. That area’s full of natural hot springs, so he probably did that to let youtake more baths in the spring water there. I asked a doctor some time ago, and he said that as long as
you take good care of your body, you can still get pregnant. I know this has always been a hurdle foryou, but we have to look forward, my dear. We have to face our lives with hope, don’t you agree?”
Unable to refute any of her words, I could only nod in reply. By then, the maid had already brought overa swimsuit for me.
