I’m Just His Wife

Chapter 23



I close my eyes emphatically. I can’t seem to figure out what happened to my son in the four days I was away from home.

“Why does my son look so tired? Why did he go hungry? Why did he have an allergy?” I asked one question after another.

Manang was silent on the other line and my tears were already welling up. Seymour stroked my back to calm me down.

“Ah, what’s up sister …” Manang was obviously nervous based on her tone.

“What, Manang? Please answer my question. I want to know …”

It was as if I suddenly wanted to blame myself. Why was it that I put myself ahead of Ice? What if I haven’t come home yet? Maybe what happened to my son … he was unfortunate.

Manang sighed before speaking again. ‘the day after you left, daughter, Lara lived in the house. Of course, Ice wondered who her daddy’s other woman was with. Ivan introduced Lara to Ice as the bride. According to him, the child got angry and locked up in The next day, Ivan had a business trip so he would be gone for three days and he left Ice to Lara. At first, Lara was very kind to your son. He even tried to feed her. Ice but the child really doesn’t want it. And … ”

Manang couldn’t continue what he was going to say because I was sobbing loudly. Seymour hugged me and patted my back.

“Please continue Manang …”

“Because Ice doesn’t want to eat, Lara was bored. She punished your son, daughter … we can’t do anything because we’re just humble housemates …”

Immediately my blood boiled at what I heard. Lara … what did she do to my son?

“What did that animal do to my son, Manang?” I have a serious question.

I just know that he was the reason why Ice was in the hospital I don’t know what I can do with him.

“Pi … He cleaned Ice all around your house, without a helper, he was alone. The boy didn’t do anything if he didn’t obey because if Lara didn’t hurt him. And then … the one about Ice’s allergy? He forced Ice to be fed shrimp. We told him that Ice was allergic to shrimp but he didn’t listen. So … ”

I let go of my cellphone and immediately hugged Seymour. That’s how bad things happened to my son when I wasn’t there. If I only knew it was going to happen, I wish I hadn’t left him at home.

I cried even harder. Get ready for me that shameless Lara. The thickness of his face, he no longer felt sorry for my son.

“Shh … hush now, cupcake. Everything will be alright …” Seymour whispered as he continued to make me lie down.

I just quietly cried. Hopefully, Ice will be fine. Because otherwise, the skin will mix with the peeled …

I woke up when I felt something tap on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Seymour, leaning on his shoulder. I straightened up and tied up my long hair.

“Eat first. Dinner, you skipped lunch …” said Seymour.

I was out of breath. How can I eat if my child was in the hospital now?

“I don’t feel like …” I answered sparingly.

He closed his eyes firmly and kissed my forehead. “You should eat, hm? You’re not the only one who gets hurt when you don’t eat. Don’t forget about your baby …”

I was swallowed and held in my stomach. I forgot that I had a baby and that we would be able to go hungry.

I looked at my wrist watch and saw that it was only six o’clock in the evening. It’s still early.

“Let’s eat later …” I said to Seymour and he was forced to nod.

I leaned back in the chair. I want to see my son but we were still waiting for the doctor’s signal so we can enter his room.

Some time later I heard footsteps approaching us. You looked at me with a frown and my blood boiled immediately when I saw who it was.

Who else? Edi was Ivan and Lara. I immediately looked at them when they approached us. Especially the pest Lara. Damn him, what right does he have to come here? He was the one to blame for why my son was in the hospital.

“How’s Ice?” Ivan asked but I didn’t answer him. I just stared at him and leaned back in the chair.

“He’s under observation …” Seymour answered sparingly and his voice was very cold.

Ivan sighed and waved. Lara tapped him on the shoulder and whispered. Tsk, I’m just really holding back from tweaking him because of my baby.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s a pity for Ice. He got sick because his mother went out of their home and a few days before he came back. Hays, why was it that flirting comes first.” Even Lara.

My ears were touched by what he said and my fist clenched. I couldn’t stand it anymore and I stood up then I pulled her hair hard.

“You beast! Don’t blame me like that because we both know who caused Ice to be hospitalized!” I let out a scream and almost winced when he pulled my hair as well. Ivan and Seymour stood between us but they were no obstacle for me to tweak this flaw.

I scratched his arm causing him to let go of my hair. I slapped her on both cheeks and stroked her hair again.

“Damn, Rigella. Think about your baby first! Don’t rush!” Seymour whispered in my ear so I woke up suddenly.

I pulled her hair once more before pushing her away. I was even more upset when he cried for Ivan and Ivan was still with him.

“Ivan, if you want to see Ice, you’ll get that snake out of here!” I threaten.

“RIGELLA!” he shouted angrily.

“HE’S THE REASON WHY ICE was HERE NOW! GET RID OF THAT AND MAYBE I CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE THERE!” I cried out as I felt Seymour touch my waist as if supporting me.

“was that true?” when Ivan asked Lara.

Lara would have answered but I immediately preceded her. “WHAT? You’re still going to lie ?! You thought I wouldn’t know huh ?! The thickness of your face! Get out of here!” I was still stabbing him.

Ivan whispered to him so he left immediately. He stared at me before we turned away.

Shame on that, I even managed to irapan. He was ready for me when he even moved my son’s fingertips. We will die …

Rigella’s POV

I am currently feeding Ice today. We just came home here today. Ivan and I live in the house. I didn’t want us to stay here anymore because what happened to my son might happen again but I thought about how he would feel.

I know he already understands everything even when he was young. Ice was a smart kid, so maybe she already knows who Lara was in her daddy’s life … and what our situation was.
