"Du, du, du..."
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Confused, Mary took it and found it was the doctor, Vincent Cao!
"Hello, Vincent. What's wrong? Is... Is there anything wrong with my mother?" Mary's voice was trembling with fear.
"Miss Mary, calm down," Vincent's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's a good thing. Your mother has woken up. Do you want to come over and have a look?"
"Really? !" As soon as hearing this, Mary's hanging heart was immediately relieved, and her voice was filled with unconcealed surprise. "I'm going, I'll go right away, Vincent, thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Mary knocked on the door of the CEO's office.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Come in."
"Mr. William" Mary came to the desk of William and swallowed. "Can I ask for half a day's leave?"
"What's the matter?" Without raising his head, the pen kept spinning in William's hand.
"My mother is awake. I want to go to the hospital to visit her."
After a pause, William raised his head and said, "Go ahead. Do you need me to go with you?"
"Ah... No, No. I can go by myself." Biting her lips, Mary said, "Well, I'll go."
Staring at her back, William frowned slightly.
The door of the office was closed again with a bang. All of a sudden, William stood up, grabbed his suit jacket on the sofa and strode after Mary.
Mary was in the elevator and when the door was about to close, a pair of big hands stopped it.
With an expressionless face, William walked in and pressed the button.
"Mr... William, What... What are you going to do?"
"Go to the hospital with you." "As your husband, I should go to the hospital. This is also my duty according to the contract."
Raising her eyebrows, Mary was touched and said, "Okay."
It was supposed to be half an hour's drive, but it took less than twenty minutes because William might have recognized that Mary was in a hurry.
"You go upstairs first. I'll be back soon." "Don't forget to tell your mother that I'm coming."
"Okay." Mary nodded and ran to the hospital, not caring where he was going.
When she arrived at the intensive care unit, Mary saw her mother chatting with the two nurses with a smile on her face. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom..." Sobbing, Mary walked over and threw herself into her mother's hug.
"Mary..." Mary's mom touched Mary's head with love and said, "You suffered a lot..."
"No, not. No, not." with tears in her eyes, Mary continued, "As long as you can recover, I am not suffered at all..."
"My honey, Mary. Let me have a careful look at you... "
The two of them were talking about their love. At this moment, William, who had put on the isolation suit, came in with a lot of bags and fruits.
"Nice to meet you, Mary's mom."
Hearing that, Mary raised her head and saw a smile at the corners of William's mouth. It turned out that he was going to buy the gift.
"Mary, this is..." When Mary's mom spoke, she had almost guessed the answer.
"He, he is my boyfriend." Mary blushed and didn't dare to look at him. "His name is William Lan."
"Nice to meet you." William also admitted that he was the 'boyfriend' of Mary. He walked up and said respectfully, "I'm William."
"Well, well..." Seeing William, Mary's mom grinned from ear to ear. "Thank you for taking care of Mary."
"Fine, fine," Mary's mom nodded her head in relief. "You and Mary are both children with poor lives. I'm relieved that you two can be together."
"Yeah, I'll take care of Mary for everything." The look in William's eyes was firm, as if he was telling the truth.
"As long as you will not hate Mary."
"Mom..." "How will I be hated?" Mary said pretending to be angry.
"No, I don't hate her." Mary's mom smiled and chatted with the two, with a look that had not been seen for a long time.
"The visiting time is up. The patient needs to rest. Please come back another day." Just half an hour passed but a nurse came to urge them.
Mary held back her tears and said, "Mom, have a good rest. I'll come to see you another day."
"I will come to see you with Mary another day."
"Fine, you are both good persons." Mary's mom held back her tears and waved at the two.
Mary walked out of the intensive care unit reluctantly and wiped the tears on her face again and again.
'Be strong and don't cry.'
"Here you are." William took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Mary.
"I'm OK." Mary shook her hands and said, "It's done. Thank you so much today."
"It's my duty." Said William coldly. He grabbed the white handkerchief tightly with his right hand and strode towards the car.
He was annoyed and unhappy, 'Don't do the stupid thing again, William. No one cares about it.'
He waved his right hand and threw the white handkerchief into the trash can.
Mary was stunned. Well... What's wrong with him again?
