Chapter 644 Another Misunderstanding (Part Three) (1/2)

Raising his eyes full of misery, the boy said, ”Aunt Wing, I miss mommy so much!”

”Your mommy misses Mark, too,” Wing said as she held his chin lightly between his fingers. ”Remember, there is a time difference between A City and here. Besides, your health isn't very good now, so your mommy could not bear to wake you up to answer her phone call if she called while you're sleeping.”

Pouting, the boy grumbled, ”But Mark is going to undergo an operation soon and wants his mommy.” After all, Mark was still a kid and had never been apart from Molly before. While he was strong-willed, he still had fears about undergoing surgery.

A few minutes later, Shirley entered the room with Richie and sat on the edge of Mark's bed. She told him, ”Mark, we will go back for your mommy as soon as you finish the operation and have fully recovered, okay?”

”But, that's going to be a very long time…” he said with a trembling voice. The boy lowered his eyes and played with his small, chubby hands, the only indication of his nerves.

Looking at the child behaving that way, Shirley felt a great deal of pity for him. Letting him sit on her lap, she wrapped her arms around the boy and said, ”Mark, think of it this way: you will never need to leave your mommy and Papa Brian again after this operation.”

Turning around in Shirley's arms, Mark raised his head to look at her with clear eyes, which shone brightly under the light. His small lips were tightly pressed. He saw his grandmother nod to him with a smile, and he nodded back at her, too.

In truth, the surgery was performed inside the headquarters of XK Intelligence Agency. With a suitable heart and the most authoritative cardiologist in the world to perform the operation, there was no room for errors during surgery. Well, no errors would be allowed to happen then.

Shirley and Wing were waiting outside the operating theater while Richie and Weston had tea under a camouflage sunshade not too far away.

”The issue in Dragon Island has been resolved. When do you and Wing plan to go there?” Richie inquired calmly. He observed his son-in-law with experienced eyes.

”We'll go to A City once Mark is in a stable condition,” Weston replied. He stole a glance at his wife. Her long, silky hair and long dress fluttered in the wind, and Wing looked much like a fairy lost in the mortal world. ”Spark has settled down in A City,” Weston said, and added, ”and Wing plans to rest for a year. So, we're in no hurry at all.”

”Hmmm,” Richie said in assent. ”That may not be such a bad idea.” Wit

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
