Chapter 231 - 231 Ch. 231 Jamie’s Hand Is Warm
231 Ch. 231 Jamie’s Hand Is Warm
That day Anxia decided to visit her father. She felt more comfortable with her unconscious father than talking to her mother. She hoped her heart would calm down when she saw her father, but her heart clouded over when she saw that same mute woman.
Anxia had tried to get rid of this mute woman from her father’s side, but her mother would not allow it because no one could accompany her father as patiently as this mute woman did.
Anxia couldn’t stop thinking and didn’t understand her mother’s way of thinking. If it were Richard lying down now, Anxia wouldn’t want another girl accompanying the man and make sure that no one got close to her husband.
But Loraine Shu allowed and even ordered other women to accompany and monitor changes in her father’s condition. Why didn’t the woman herself accompany her father?
Without glancing at the mute woman, Anxia walked over and sat next to her father.
“I want to be alone with my father for a few minutes.” Without looking at the woman, Anxia expressed her wish to chase away Jamie indirectly.
Anxia didn’t notice the sad and teary eyes of the woman because Anxia didn’t want to glance at her. But the mute woman turned around and came out to let Anxia be alone with her father.
After confirming that there was no one but the two in the room, Anxia took off her mask and looked at her father with tears in her eyes.
“Dad, I no longer know my mother. She’s not the mother I used to know. I don’t know why... we haven’t seen each other after so long, but I feel you’re the only one who hasn’t changed. Although your frame is much thinner than I remember, your hands are still as big as before. And also feels warm. Until when are you going to sleep? Don’t you want to see me? I already have a lovely daughter. Her eye color is unique because she has two different eyes. I remember your father also has a different eye color. I think she inherited a genetic disorder from grandpa.”
.....
Anxia stroked the back of her father’s thin hand with her hand and continued to tell stories. “Dad, if mom had not kept you here, I would have found a way to return to my family. Therefore, could you hurry up and tell me what to do? I want to go, but I can’t leave you here either. My conscience forbids me to go and leave you here. Tell me what to do.”
Anxia lay her head on the hand that was holding her father’s hand. A tear dripped from the corner of her eye, and the tear fell on the back of her father’s hand.
Behind the door of her father’s room, the mute woman who was kicked out indirectly by Anxia held her mouth with one hand to hide her sobs.
Anxia didn’t know, the mute woman waiting outside heard every word that came out of her mouth, and now tears flowed unstoppably down her cheeks.
At the same time, one of the fingers on Zhou Yu Hue’s hand, which his daughter did not grasp, lifted once before returning to its place.
That evening, Loraine Shu came to her daughter’s room after receiving news that her daughter had been spending hours with her husband.
“Zhou Anxia, ??you’re willing to spend as long as possible with your father but don’t want to spare just five minutes for me? Haven’t you gone too far?”
Anxia was just about to close her eyes and was too lazy to move as her body lay on her bed when the door to her room suddenly opened, and her mother’s thundering voice rang throughout the room.
She would make sure to lock her bedroom door after this.
“Zhao Anxia!” snapped the mother because Anxia still didn’t move from her bed. “You think I can’t hurt your kid?”
The corner of Anxia’s lips twitched hearing this. Did his mother threaten her again by using Lori?
At this time, Richard still hadn’t woken up. Even though Stanley was in Kensington and always ready to protect his granddaughter, Anxia didn’t dare to underestimate her mother’s abilities.
Because of that, Anxia moved and stood up to face her mother with the same cold gaze.
“This is why I can’t stand talking to you even for five minutes. Every time we talk, you have nothing to talk about other than threatening or giving me a mission. From the first time I arrived at this place, you never treated me like your daughter but expected me to treat you as my mother. Don’t you realize that I’m still willing to call you mother even though I still haven’t accepted that you are my mother?”
“You!” Loraine Shu raised a hand to slap Anxia, and Anxia had expected it, and she knew she could avoid it but did nothing regardless.
It’s just… another hand holding Loraine’s hand made Anxia gasp in surprise when she saw the owner of the hand holding her mother’s hand.
“JAMIE! What are you doing?” Loraine Shu jerked Jamie’s hand hard and pushed the woman to the ground.
Jamie spontaneously did not dare to raise her head and could only lower her head after realizing her mistake.
Anxia couldn’t understand why the mute woman would protect her even after receiving such cold and harsh treatment from her. Did she feel sympathy for her after listening to everything she said to her father?
Anxia was still a former assassin, and her instincts could still function very well, so it wasn’t difficult for her to know that this mute woman was secretly listening to her words from outside.
“Hmph! You dopey woman! I’ve already returned your kindness and given you a place to live here, but you turned against me instead. Tonight you will sleep in the holding cell!”
Anxia’s brow furrowed at this. Was her mother really this cruel? Loraine Shu punished this woman for only this trivial matter?
Without waiting for an answer because Jamie couldn’t speak, Loraine Shu stepped out with arrogant steps filled with anger.
Seeing that her mother had come out of her room, Anxia squatted down to align her eyes with the eyes of this woman called Jamie.
“Why did you do it? If you feel sympathy for me, you better throw it away. I don’t need your sympathy.”
Jamie looked at her with a teary eye—a hand raised towards her face made Anxia step back in alarm.
What does this woman want? Anxia thought, feeling astonished.
But while she didn’t feel any malicious intent from the woman, Anxia decided not to shift away because she wanted to see what this woman wanted to do.
Jamie had lifted a hand to touch her cheek and was stroking her cheekbones with her thumb. Instantly Anxia’s heart shook, feeling how warm this woman’s hand was.
“Very weird. You are not my mother, but why does the touch of your hand feel warmer than hers?”
Jamie’s eyes filled with tears, and looking at her lovingly made Anxia uncomfortable, and she decided to get up.
“I’m grateful you protected me from her, but I don’t need your protection. I can take care of myself, and I hope you never do that again. I don’t want to be indebted to a stranger.”
Jamie nodded once in understanding, then got to her feet with her head still down and walked out.
Only Anxia’s ears could hear the small sob escaping from the woman’s throat.
