Chapter 1517
Just as Karen Joy was telling Larry that his father was the best man in the world, she heard Lionel's voice. She looked up and saw him smiling warmly. She hugged him along with Larry and said, "Lionel, why are you here?"
"I wanted to see the two of you, therefore I came." Lionel held Larry in one hand and Karen Joy in the other. Then, he looked around the hospital but he didn't see anyone else. "By the way, how is Julien doing?"
When her husband wasn't around, Karen Joy was an independent and capable professional lady. But now with her husband present, she transformed into a coy, dependent wife in his arms. "The surgery went well and Julien is fine. But, Lawrie's condition is a little unstable. The doctor said that we need to observe him for quite a while to see if his body will reject the transplant. I hope his body won't have any reactions, and that he can grow up happily and healthily just like Larry."
Lionel nodded and said, "Well, with the advancement in medicine we have now, they will be able to suppress the reaction. I am sure there won't be any big problems."
Larry didn't understand what his parents were talking about. He only knew that he had been ignored by them. He felt a little upset, therefore he took the initiative to give his father a soft and lovely kiss. "Daddy, I love you very much!"
How could Lionel not see through what Larry was thinking? He also kissed the little one and said, "Yes Larry, I know that you love me and I love you too."
After getting his father's attention, Larry felt delighted. "I know! I am the happiest child in the world. I also hope that Lawrie's illness can be quickly cured. In the future, together with Larry, we will become the happiest children in the world."
Karen Joy laughed and asked, "Why do you think you're the happiest child in the world?"
Larry's answer was very naive and simple. "Because Mom and Dad are by my side every day."
In fact, to such a young child, happiness was not measured by how much his parents earned or whether or not they sent him to a good school. In his eyes, happiness was being together with his parents. To have parents that loved him, that was all he needed, as simple as that.
Karen Joy and Lionel both knew this well. Therefore, since they had had Larry, they had taken the appropriate time to accompany their child, hoping that they would be able to create many memories with him.
Karen Joy went home with her family happily. Meanwhile, things were not going well for Julien. He and Vanessa had been in a stalemate for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise. Therefore, the current situation was that Julien and Lawrie were lying in the same ward.
Lawrie was weak and he could not move about for the moment. However, Julien felt that he was no different from a normal person, who was able to run, walk, eat, sleep and drink. Why was he lying in the same ward as Lawrie?
Thinking of this, he glared at Vanessa but she pretended not to notice. "Lie down here and help me take good care of Lawrie. I'll go to the supermarket nearby to buy some fresh ingredients and make soup for you two."
Lawrie wasn't really in the condition to eat yet, he could only rely on IV drips for now. But, Julien's body needed recovering.
"What do you need? I'll get someone to buy it." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't bother them. I'll go and buy it myself." Recently, Julien had arranged for people to send any ingredients that Vanessa needed. She had been standing guard by Lawrie's bed every day for more
than a month and had not stepped out of the hospital. At this instant, she felt like taking a walk.
Vanessa's main purpose of going out for a walk was to calm down and figure out how to deal with the relationship between Julien and Lawrie in the future.
Lawrie's operation was over and his biological father had appeared. A man whom she had been searching for more than three years suddenly appeared. It just so happened to be the man she was deeply in love with. Vanessa did not know whether God was looking after her or just making fun of her.
As Vanessa walked out of the hospital, she thought of what her psychiatrist, Joey, had said. According to Joey, Lawrie was very sensitive and had been traumatized. He was constantly afraid that his mom would abandon him because he did not feel secure.
Vanessa had always wanted to give Lawrie a loving home but these years, in order to cure his illness, she had no choice but to move around without him to make more money. She often got others to help to take care of Lawrie and hence they would be apart for a month occasionally.
Under such circumstances, how could Lawrie feel secure?
If Lawrie had a father, the situation might be different. With both parents' love, he would not be as afraid of being abandoned as before. Furthermore, he would feel more protected with a father and be less worried about someone bullying him and his mom.
In any case, Vanessa still thought that it was necessary to let Lawrie know who his biological father was. As for whether he would recognize this biological father or live with his biological father, she would let Lawrie make his own choice.
Who said children couldn't understand? Or that they couldn't make their own choices? In fact, children knew deep in their hearts! They could discern the people who neglected them or cared
forthem!
As soon as Vanessa walked out of the hospital, she was stopped by the Love family members who were squatting outside the hospital. The first one who rushed over was Fiona. She grabbed Vanessa by her hair and pulled fiercely. "B*tch, let's see who else can come to save you this time."
Vanessa struggled for a moment and then stopped. Fiona was grabbing her hair, and Vanessa was not so strong as Fiona. If they fought all out, Vanessa would be at a 100% disadvantage. Therefore, at this moment, the best option for Vanessa was to try and minimize her injuries.
Vanessa looked over to Marvin at the side to see what his reaction would be. Marvin slowly turned his face away and acted like he saw nothing. Seeing his attitude, Vanessa had truly given up on him. In the future, she would never acknowledge this man as her father again.
Since she had lost all hope for Marvin, Vanessa could not care less about destroying their relationship. She decided to use her most lethal weapon against them, which was what they cared about the most. "Marvin, Fiona, if you shamelessly pester me like this, it's obvious that you want something from me. But, look at what you're doing. Do you think that if you force me like this, I would obediently transfer money into your account?"
Vanessa's words struck Fiona and Marvin's hearts directly.
Their goal was not Vanessa but money! All they wanted was for Vanessa to give them money so they would not have to worry about their future at all. Hence, they would risk their reputation and come begging at the hospital
so shamelessly!
