Then, Franklin Torres glanced at his watch and said, “But we have to hurry. We can’t stay for dinner tonight. It’ll take more than two hours to go back. We still have to go to work and school tomorrow.”

Lauren Torres nodded again.

Knowing that Lauren Torres was feeling down, Franklin Torres didn’t say much and let her rest alone.

It took more than an hour for Maria Julian to wake up.

Sean Torres fed her some medicine and talked to her for a while before he told Franklin Torres to bring Lauren Torres over.

When they went to Maria Julian’s room, Sean Torres was gone.

Lauren Torres was a little depressed. Didn’t Dad want to see her anymore?

“Lauren, come over quickly.”

Maria Julian’s weak voice rang out, calling out to Lauren Torres.

Lauren Torres hurriedly ran over.

Maria Julian had recovered but Lauren Torres still felt a lingering fear when she recalled Maria Julian had suddenly felt suffocated in the living room.

At that moment, Lauren Torres was really frightened.

Maria Julian’s lips were still pale. But when she saw Lauren Torres, she revealed a smile.

“I scared me just now, didn’t I?”

Maria Julian reached out her left hand and caressed Lauren Torres’s cheek. Lauren Torres also held Maria Julian’s hand in her fleshy hands.

Maria Julian’s hand was very cold, probably because she had just received an IV drip.

Lauren Torres held her hand tightly, trying to convey some warmth.

“Are you okay now, Mom?”

“I’m fine.” Maria Julian coughed slightly before she continued. “Mom’s health isn’t that good, to begin with. Don’t overthink about it. I’ll be fine after I rest well.”

Despite her condition, Maria Julian still comforted her. Tears that had stopped started to roll down again. Lauren Torres did not expect she could cry so quickly.

“You said it! Then you have to rest well and get well soon. I’m still waiting for you to do my homework with me.”

Maria Julian nodded. “Yes, of course. Mom still wants to do a lot of homework with you.”

Maria Julian raised her hand to wipe away Lauren Torres’s tears.

“Don’t cry. A girl’s tears are pearls. They’re very precious. You can’t drop pearls so easily.”

Maria Julian held onto Maria Julian’s hand tightly. It was as if she had just survived a disaster.
