Chapter 21: She's Afraid That You'll Be Worried

My aunt is actually in a critical condition? But wasn't she fine when I left the country five years ago? Why is she suddenly in a critical condition?

But Sandy wouldn't lie to me, I trust her on this.

Numerous questions and shock lingered in my mind. I suppressed my grief and put down the phone with trembling hands.

At that moment, my two kids Nicole and Winnie, walked out of the room one after another. Both of them looked sleepy, but it was the attentive Winnie who noticed that my mood wasn't right. "Mommy, what's wrong? Why do I feel like you're about to cry?"

I sniffled and held back my tears. I held the two kids' shoulders and said, "Mommy suddenly has something on and needs to go out. You two stay at home and take good care of yourselves. There's milk and oatmeal in the cupboard. Warm it up and eat it, be good."

"Mommy, don't worry!" Nicole blinked her big eyes at me.
