The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 883 Comforting Rory

Rory has already become tearful. It's a lot for her to take in, and she can't help having mixed feelings.

"Rory, listen to me." The director steps forward, wanting to explain to Rory, but the latter takes a step back with a sullen look.

"You don't need to explain anything. Since you're a liar, I am unwilling to hear anything from you." Rory feels she was like a fool for the past decade. It turns out that the director who has been taking care of her is her mother. The truth is like a thunderbolt from the blue, which stabs into her internal organs and shatters them into pieces.

Driven by fury, Rory directly rushes out. Her intention of coming here is to inform the director about Miya's condition. However, it's out of her expectation that she happens to know such a shocking truth. She panics after realizing that her mother has always been deceiving her.

When the director walks forward to hold her hand, Rory angrily shakes her hand away. "Don't touch me. You aren't qualified to do this!" She feels hard to accept the fact that the director she has respected for over ten years is her biological mother.

Anyone who encounters such an absurd thing will be unable to accept reality.

"If you don't let go of me, I will never come back again, and I am leaving right now." Rory suddenly starts to hate this place. The director has no choice but to let go of her hand. John also realizes that something is wrong, so he chases after Rory.

He knows that whenever Rory is unhappy, she will come to the small hillside behind the orphanage and spend some time on her own. It should be no exception this time. Rory is indeed here right now. With a grim look, she keeps fiddling with the leaves in her hands. She is already overwhelmed with sadness and distress.

Following her, John also rushes over.

"Why do you sit here alone in a trance?"

"Because I can't accept such a ridiculous thing." Rory is depressed, but she can do nothing to change reality.

"I know you're feeling upset now, but you should think about the whole thing from a different angle. Actually, the director did all this to protect you," John says with good intentions. He feels it's necessary for him to comfort Rory and help her forgive the director.

"Protect me from what? Could it be that my biological father will send someone to kill me?" Rory only feels that what the director says to her is nonsense. "She didn't want to recognize me as her daughter, so she adopted me and never allowed me to call her mother. Actually, she hates me."

After saying that, she cries even louder. At the thought of her unknown future, she becomes more unsettling. She is at a loss as to what to do if she leaves this orphanage.

John reaches out and holds her hand.

"You will be the happiest person in the world. I've always by your side to take good care of you, and you will be happy forever."

Rory looks at John with expectation and wipes the tears off her face. "Then will you stay by my side forever?"

Taking a glance at Rory, John begins to hesitate. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When Rory asks John this question seriously, she is scared that John will suddenly leave her one day, especially after Miya appears. In the past, she always felt that John was docile like a cute rabbit.

However, things are different now, for he has become more strong-minded. She even feels that John has found his true self, and it's Miya who helps to quicken this process.

Should she feel gratified or should she continue to worry about their relationship?

Hearing Rory's question, John wants to blurt out a positive answer. However, the word catches in his throat and he remains silent for a long while.

He doesn't know why he has become like this. When he is about to give Rory an answer, Miya's face suddenly appears in his mind. He immediately takes a step back in fear. Why does he think of that woman again?

His reaction frightens Rory even more. "Is there anything wrong with you? I just asked you this question casually, for I know that you will never leave me." Then she throws herself into his embrace, with her arms around his waist. She holds him so tightly, as if he will disappear as soon as she lets him go.

"I know you are the nicest person I've ever met. Promise me that you won't leave me no matter what happens, because I can't live without you." After saying this, Rory lies in his arms and closes her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Recently, she has never had time to take a good rest, for Miya's stuff occupies most of her time. However, at the thought that she can lie in John's arms at ease, she immediately feels happy and satisfied.

Hearing Rory's words, John gradually calms down. He shouldn't have thought so much about Miya. Instead, he should put all of his attention on Rory, because she is the one who has always been with him. After Miya recovers, he will make himself clear with her so that Rory won't be hurt again.

After all, the fact that the director is her biological mother is a terrible shock to Rory. She won't be able to take another blow if he chooses to leave her.

"Then what are you going to do with your mother?" Knowing that Rory is not asleep, John asks her.

"I don't want to discuss this matter now." She has always been longing to see her biological mother, but it never occurs to her that the director is her mum. This is so astonishing that she fears to face the director now.

"Actually, I think this is not a bad thing. We used to think that we were orphans, and we depended on each other. But the situation is different now. You have your own relative, and she did all this to protect you. I suggest you try to understand her more."

John tries his best to comfort Rory again.

"Why are you putting in a good word for her? It doesn't match your character." Rory widens her eyes and looks at him with curiosity.

"I'm just being fair." To tell the truth, he isn't in favor of the director or the things done by her. John then continues, "She is your mother after all, and this fact can never be changed. It's better for you two to be honest with each other instead of being at odds all the time. Don't hold grudges against your mother. You also know that she has always been nice to you."

"Well, that depends. Since even you plead for mercy for her, I will stop blaming her, but..."

An important thing suddenly occurs to John, and he stands up in a hurry. How is Miya now? The director always intends to kill her, and now the situation has become even worse.

"Let's hurry back now." Realizing the severity of this matter, John immediately pulls up Rory and is about to rush to the ward.

"Why did you become so anxious all of a sudden?" Rory still wants to spend more time with John.

However, John considers Miya's safety as the top priority now.

"To protect you, your mother hates Miya's guts, so we can't leave her in the ward alone." Although this is an emergency. John still tries to look calmer, for he doesn't want Rory to continue thinking nonsense.

Rory suddenly thinks of this and immediately follows him away.
