Six years later, in the hospital, a woman with a plain t-shirt and some old jeans came to the payment counter.
"Hello, the patient from room 461 is going to discharge." She said and took out the card.
And after doing the procedure, the receptionist told her that the money in her card was not enough. So, Ruby took out her wallet and added some cash to the payment. After the payment done, she looked at her wallet and she felt depressed. There were only a few cash left. And the payment for her new book will take some time too.
Ruby was an outstanding student in Drama major when she was attending the university. Because of surrogacy, she couldn't complete her drama major, so now she can't be an actress, she can only work as a typewriter in a small company. But her son needs to continue to take medicine.
Her son has always been a weak child since he was born although he is a very intelligent boy. And the time he visited the hospital is more than the time he reached to the playground. And the treatments for her son's heart problem cost a lot and Ruby is almost unable to afford it. She worked hard and saved most of it. But her saving never last long since she had to use it in her son's medical cost.
But she never felt regret about keeping him by her side. She thought that if she gave him to his father six years ago, the man will also try to give him the best treatment. So, she didn’t want her son to suffer in her hands because of her decision. And this is also one of the reasons she gave her son the best treatment in the best hospital.
Ruby walked back to his son's ward with a heavy heart. But when she opened the door and saw that his son was waiting for her on the bed with a smiling face, her heart was filled with love and content again. This is her son, her blood and flesh and a very lovely and obedient son who also loves his mother so much. She thinks all the struggling and suffering in her life is worthy to see her son's smile.
"Mommy, Larry is a good boy. Isn't it? Larry takes all the medicine obediently and get back well so Larry can discharge from the hospital." The little boy said with a smile.
Ruby bent down and kissed her son's head. "Of course, our Larry is the best. So, mommy is going to take you to the 'Cakey Bakey' Bakery to eat your favorite cake." She said with an amused tone and the little boy almost jumped out from the bed.
"Yay… Mommy is the best." And the little boy also stretched out his hand and hugged his mother and kissed her cheeks.
In the Bakery,
Ruby ordered the chocolate cake along with a glass of hot milk. The little boy dug the cake with the little fork and put it into his mouth. "Mom, it's so sweet and delicious. The cake is soft and the creams are sweet." The boy couldn't stop his smile.
Ruby was also smiling while looking at his son's face.
"Mom, why don’t you eat?" The little boy bit his fork and asked her with a cute face.
"Mommy is not hungry. And the dentist told mommy not to eat the sweet things." Ruby lied because she wanted her son to full while she couldn’t afford for another piece of cake.
But the boy was so smart and he noticed that her mommy counted the cash while paying for the cake at the counter a moment ago. So, he pushed the plate to his mother and said, "Last night, one of Larry's teeth was hurt too. So, Larry can't finish the cake alone."
Ruby almost sherd tear but she holds back her emotions and smiled, " How about mommy will feed Larry and Larry feeds mommy."
"Yay… " And the little boy cut a big piece and fed his mother. "Mommy do you know? My attending doctor asked me that where is my daddy before he checked me for the last time before I discharge."
"Really, when did he said?" Ruby listened to her son with much interest.
"When you are doing the discharge procedure?"
"Then what did you say?" Ruby asked calmly since she had already told her son that his father was deceased before she gave birth to him. Larry was also a smart child so, she had to make the dead end to stop his further questions that she won't be able to answer in the future.
"I said that daddy left mommy for another woman and guess what he said next." He said with an amused face.
Ruby knows that his son has been trying to find a man for her whenever he got a chance so, Ruby listened to him silently. "Mommy can't guess."
"He said that it can't be possible that he would leave such a beauty like you. Mommy, do you think that Doctor Li like you?" His son's words were straightforward and Ruby couldn’t help but laugh, "What make you think that he likes me?"
"Because, he asked for your number after that." He said calmly.
"And you gave it to her." Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." Larry lowered his head and replied, almost like a whisper.
And Ruby took some cream with her finger, raised his chin and rubbed the cream on his nose. "Such a naughty boy."
Larry was also happy to see that his mother didn't got angry on her. So, he also tried to put the cream on his mother's face. And after a few minutes, they drunk the hot milk together happily.
But by a little boy sitting in a Bugatti ZB16-4 Veyron was not happy. Ruby and Larry was sitting near the glass wall so, they could be seen from the road. The little boy saw that they were eating the cake happily and he suddenly felt a new feeling and that is envy.
It’s the first that an indifferent expression appeared on his face. He envied this lovely relationship, even though that cheap cake was nothing to eat.
"Drive." The boy said with a cold voice and the driver started the engine. Ten minutes ago, when the little boy rolled down the car window, he saw that a boy similar to his face went into a bakery so, he commanded to stop the car and watched them from far away.And he usually cool aura turned into a gloomy one. He couldn't stand seeing their heartwarming behavior, so, he just decided to go back home."Liam, you are back." Liam Carson regretted coming back home when he heard the voice."Aunt Xiao has been waiting for you to come back and I prepared some chocolate cake for our Liam." Although Liam didn't greet her back, she didn't get angry and just tried to pester him.Liam always knows that Sarah Xiao, his father's fiancée, is annoying and she would be his step mother after she married to his father but until now, she is not his step mother. And although Liam was also a smart person, he couldn’t understand the two adults.Why his father hasn't marry her yet or why this woman is very c
"Mommy, where are we going?" The little Larry asked while glancing out of the window when he noticed that it was not their way back home."I am taking you to see Uncle Morris. He is a very kind hearted man and mommy is sure that you would like him as soon as you see him." Ruby replied and rubbed her son's hairs dotingly.This afternoon, she got a call from her uncle that he wants to invite her for dinner. And moreover, he also told her to bring her son. And Ruby was glad to hear that because this was the first time that her uncle let her to bring her son.Because, her uncle was an old fashioned man and he didn’t like the idea of having children before marriage. Although, Ruby got Larry to save him, he didn't know that Ruby got this child because of surrogating. And Ruby didn't tell him either. He only knows that while Ruby was abroad to finish her studies, she accidently got pregnant and came back home and that's why Uncle Morris doesn't like Larry that much.Soon, the taxi arrived at
Ruby cried all her way back to home. Although, she endured every time, she couldn't hold back this time. Why life is so hard on her? Hasn't she suffered enough?Why she had to be the one who always have to suffer? And Lucy was obviously the one who borrow the money but why should she pay back the money? And they took all her hard earned money.She had been working hard ever since Larry was three months old because her little Larry has a poor health since he was born and his medical expenses cost a lot. And she didn't get any help from anyone. Everyone pretended that they couldn't see her hardship.But she was still okay that they didn’t hand any helping hand but her aunt and her cousin couldn't stop their bully until now. She thought that after she helped them with the money that she got from becoming a surrogate, they would be grateful towards her but she didn’t expect that they would just simply forget about her kindness and continued to treat her as an enemy.Ruby felt so heartbrok
"Mommy." The little Larry run towards Ruby as soon as he sees his mother. And he jumped up and hugged her immediately."Are you a little boy? Why do you always act like that?" Although Isabella said like that she still caressed his son's head lovingly. The little Larry put his head on her mother's shoulder and mumbled, "Because your son has been missing you all day at school.""Haha. You really have a very sweet mouth. But tell me, you listen carefully to the teacher's lecture. Right?""Of course, mommy. Larry is a good boy." And the little boy looked at his mother to plant a kiss on her cheeks but he saw the swollen eyes, he felt like the world has collapsed."Mommy, what happened? Why are you crying?" He gently touched his mother's face.Ruby thought that lying to him is meaningless. After all, her son is extremely intelligent. So, she just admitted directly, "Mommy has two news and one is good and one is bad.""Then what is the good thing." Larry asked with hope in his eyes.Ruby s
"Hello Miss Xiao." The secretary at the front desk on the president floor got up and greet Sarah Xiao immediately as soon as she saw her coming out from the elevator.Sarah Xiao always loves that kind of special treatment to her. Everyone in the company knows that she is the fiancée of Edward Carson. So, everyone treats her with respect and Sarah Xiao was so proud to be the woman who everyone in the company envy of."So, is brother Edward having special guests?" She asked putting her luxurious handbag on the counter. And that lead the secretary to look at her bag with widen eyes. After all, every girl loves those expensive bags but not everyone gets the chance to see those in real not to say buying them. Sarah Xiao was proud to see the little secretary's reaction."No, Miss Xiao, president is just discussing something with assistant Mike.""Okay, then I am going to send this lunch box to brother Edward and make sure that no one would come and disturb our happy moments." Sarah Xiao fin
"Miss Xiao, why did you tear off the papers? I had to use a lot of connections just to get this information." Mike got up from the bed and reached to Sarah Xiao's side.Sarah Xiao suddenly acted like pitiful and said, "Assistant Hu, have you already read her personal information?"Mike was confused with her question, "Of course, I have read it since I am the one who collected this information.""Then, you have already known that Ruby James kept another son, right? What I want to say is that you shouldn’t take away a child from his mother's embrace forcefully. And don’t you think that she would be so pitiful when she loses both of the children that she had carried for nine months?"Sarah Xiao sneered in his mind when he saw that Mike was hesitating. Sure enough, Mike could be deceived easily. Then, Mike took the file and he checked it."Then how about the evidences that she once saved Mr. Carson when she was just a little girl from an orphanage?"Sarah shook her head gently and said, "
"Look at that girl. I think she is the most suitable for the female lead position." A girl whispered to her friend."But how can you decide that just by her singing skill?" Her friend didn't have the same thought with her."But look carefully at her. She is not only good at singing but the expression on her face looks like the real female lead has come out.""But I heard that the audition team has already decided for the female lead. And I think I saw Miss Miya Feng, who is very popular at the moment. Even if this girl is good at acting and singing, she won't be chosen.""Tsk! Tsk! You are really stupid. Do you think that I guess just depend on her acting skills? Look at our director, he looked like he was looking at his idol. Don't you know that although the director is young, his skills are better than those who have a lot of experiences and he also has a mysterious yet strong background.""Really? What you said is also possible, if the director is powerful, the talent actors could
"Larry, mommy cut some fruits for dessert. Why don’t you come and have it?" Isabella walked out from the kitchen with a plate of sliced fruits in her hand."Yes, mommy. I am coming." Larry put down the phone where he was reading the project plan of launching the new mobile phone that use the latest software technology that he invented a few months ago.At the time Larry come out and sat down at the coach to enjoy the fruit dessert, Ruby's phone suddenly rang.She looked at the caller ID and frowned because it was Lucy's phone number and she felt like why would she bother to call her when she pointed those hooligans to her company to pay back for her debt?But at the end, she still picked up the call, "Hello, is this Miss James speaking?""Yes, it's me." Ruby was confused because the one who was talking at the other end is not Lucy but a strange man voice."Your cousin, Miss Lucy James is drunk and throwing tantrum at night sky club. Could you please come and take her home?" The other
