Chapter 2
Alaric held the cake and said with a big smile, “Ms. Clifford, Dad especially had someone make this cake! You can have it as well!”
Adela touched Alaric’s head with a smile and then looked at Antonio with affection.
She said, “Antonio, thank you. You saved my life.
Antonio’s gaze towards her was affectionate yet restrained as he responded, “As long as you can get better, I can do anything for you.”
Alaric immediately leaned in and said, “And me, Ms. Clifford! I also helped this time.
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
“When you were in surgery, I also prayed for you.”
Adela’s smile grew bigger. “Thank you, Alaric. If only I could have a child as good as you.”
Alaric hugged Adela and murmured, “I also want to have a mom like you, Ms. Clifford. Look, I’m Alaric, and you’re Adela. Our names are
pronounced quite similar, like a family. Can I call you Adela in the future?”
The three of them chatted and laughed happily, looking like a real family
of three.
Outside the ward, I sat in a wheelchair, feeling so cold in my heart. Back then, after I gave birth, Antonio named our son Alaric without any hesitation. Now, I finally knew that it was all because of Adela.

After another glance at Alaric, who appeared so cute in front of Adela, I hurriedly turned away as if fleeing from something horrible.
I went to the doctor, asking him to perform spine surgery for me as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait any longer. The sooner I got better, the sooner I could leave them.
But on the second day after my surgery, Antonio handled the discharge procedures for me.
I asked him anxiously, “I just had surgery, and I have a rejection reaction. The doctor said that I needed to stay in the hospital for observation. Why discharge now?”
Antonio looked at me with a hint of guilt in his eyes. He said, “Grace, I’ll hire a professional caregiver to take care of you at home.”
Just as I wanted to refuse Adele well–ed out with a pale face and chimed in, “Grace, I’m sorry. It’s an my fault.

“Something went wrong with
my warda cat
and I can’t keep staying in it. But
there aren’t any extra wards in this hospital.”
Hearing her words, I looked at Antonio in disbelief, uttering, “So you want me to give her my ward? But I’m severely injured, and my physical I’m severely injured, and my physical condition is very poor. I don’t want to be discharged.”
Antonio frowned slightly and said in a somewhat irritated tone, “Grace, Adela’s condition is worse than yours. Besides, you’re fine now. Just let her take this ward. It’s not a big deal.”
Alaric also came forward and tugged at my sleeve, complaining, “Ms. Clifford just had a major surgery and is in poor health. Mom, don’t be so stingy, OK? If you don’t let her move in, then I don’t want a stingy mom like you anymore.”

At this time, Adela spoke up, “It’s all my fault. Sorry. Actually, there’s no need for that. I can get discharged right away. You’re family. Don’t argue because of me.”
She stood in front of my wheelchair apologizing. But suddenly, she stumbled and fell down.
Antonio hurriedly held her up. Seeing that she had cried, he roared angrily at me, “Grace, what are you doing? She just had kidney transplant surgery! Why did you hurt her?”
I explained, “I didn’t do anything. Since she couldn’t even stand steady, she shouldn’t have gotten out of bed in the first place.”
Alaric hurriedly checked on Adela and then shouted at me angrily, “You’re a bad mom! Why did you hurt Ms. Clifford? You’re bad and stingy. I don’t want you to be my mom anymore!”
Looking at my son, who I had been raised with my whole heart for years, I felt heartbroken.
“OK, if that’s what you want,” I responded lightly to him, and he was
stunned.
Antonio thought I was just making a fuss, and he said to me with a commanding tone, “Anyway, you must move out of this ward today!”
Later, he forced me to get discharged. My face turned paler due to the pain, but he disregarded it and brought all my things home.
He hired a caregiver and said to me, “Grace, she’s professional and will definitely take good care of you.
“By the way, I didn’t mean to yell at you earlier this afternoon. I just didn’t

want you to be so stingy. Adela is the daughter of one of my elders. I have to take care of her.”
Silent, I looked at the message Mom had sent me earlier. “I’ve almost done handling your documents over there. Just wait for the papers to come
out.”
Then, I looked up at Antonio and smiled lightly, “Alright. I understand.”
Unexpectedly, that night, due to rejection after surgery, I had a low fever.
I cried out for help hoarsely, but no one in the villa responded.
