Armand told her, “I know. I understand you.”
How could he not understand what she was going through?
Even Armand was feeling miserable. It could only be worse for Theresa.
“I don’t feel like eating anything.” Theresa felt suffocated.
“What about I send you to Dolores’ place? There are many people there, and you can talk to them.”
Now, Armand and Theresa were both exuding a depressing aura. She would only overthink when she
was alone. Armand didn’t know what to do either, so he hoped that Dolores could make Theresa feel
better.
Theresa said nothing. She didn’t want to go there. In fact, she didn’t feel like going anywhere now. She
just wanted some time alone to breathe in the pain.
“Listen to me this time, alright?” Armand had no idea how to comfort her this time around, so he could
only rely on others to do so.
“Do I look decent enough to go there now?” Theresa wasn’t afraid of letting Dolores see her in her
current state. It was the others who she feared.
After all, there were many people at Dolores’ place. They would definitely ask questions upon seeing
her state now.
“Theresa, what happened?”
“Theresa, you don’t look well.”
“Theresa, did you cry?”
She didn’t want to answer those questions.
“I get it. What if I get Dolores to come here? Is that alright?” Armand asked.
Theresa finally nodded.
Armand caressed her cheek, “I’ll go and make a call.”
Then, he stood up again and went to the living room to make the phone call.
Dolores woke up fairly early today. She was the one who sent the children to school today too. Usually,
Jayden did this, but Dolores knew that he was feeling unwell, so she told him to stay at home and have
a good rest.
Jayden said that she was overreacting and that he just caught a cold, but she made it seemed like he
was seriously ill.
Dolores insisted on sending the kids to school. It was no harm for Jayden to rest at home. After all, he
was old already.
She wanted to find a time to bring Jayden to the hospital for a medical check-up too. Since he was old,
it would be great to get treatment earlier if he had any underlying sickness.
Jayden whined, “You don’t even let me send the kids to school. What fun is there left in my life?”
Dolores chuckled, “Well, you’re sick now. After you’ve recovered, this errand is still yours. No one will
snatch this job away from you.”
He had nothing else to say and just told her that he wanted to go back to his room to take a nap.
Dolores reminded Coral to pay more attention to Jayden’s condition, to which Coral promised. Just as
Dolores was about to return to her room to look at her son, her phone which she placed in the living
room rang. She walked over and answered the call.
“Dolores.” Armand didn’t sound well. His voice was low and slightly hoarse.
Dolores suddenly became tense. She was afraid that anything terrible had happened to Armand and
Theresa and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you have time to come here and accompany Theresa?” He paused, then continued after a
moment, “I hope that you can comfort her.”
Dolores understood what was happening in an instant. She asked, “It failed again?”
“…Yeah. The doctor said that her ovum isn’t suitable for it and the success rate is low. There’s basically
no hope for her.”
“Okay, send me the address. I’ll be there soon.” Dolores said.
“Thanks, Dolores. I know you have your own kids to take care of now, but I really don’t know what else
I can do. I have no idea how to talk to her about this or comfort her. When I see her in pain, I couldn’t
say anything at all.” Armand’s voice was suppressing some sort of emotion.
“I understand. I’m her relative, and it’s only right for me to visit her now. You don’t need to feel
burdened.” Dolores comforted him, “You need to manage your own emotions too.”
“Yeah, I will.”
Dolores hung up with a heavy heart. She put her phone into her pocket and went into the room to look
at her baby boy who was sleeping soundly in the cradle. His cheeks were so chubby, which only added
to his adorableness.
She stood by the cradle and caressed his face, which was smooth just like any other toddler gently.
Then, she checked on his diaper. It was still dry. After changing it earlier, he hadn’t peed or pooped.
Jessica came into the room with another diaper in her hand. She spoke to Dolores softly when she saw
her in the room, “He just slept after I fed him. He probably wouldn’t wake up so soon.”
Dolores turned around and told Jessica, “I need to go out for a while.”
“Just go and do your thing. There are so many of us at home. We can take care of a child, so don’t
worry.”
Dolores nodded.
She wouldn’t worry much when Jessica was at home too.
Then, she went upstairs to put on a coat before leaving. She read the address sent by Armand to the
driver, and the driver soon drove in the direction of the place.
Soon, they arrived at Armand’s neighbourhood. Dolores knew that Armand and Theresa had moved
out. Theresa had told her before this, but it was her first time visiting their new place.
She pushed open the door and got out of the car.
“Madam, should I wait for you downstairs?” The driver asked.
“You can go back too. I’ll grab a cab home later.”
“I’ll find a place to park then. Give me a call when you’re ready to leave.”
Dolores nodded. She stood at the door and sent a text to Armand, telling him that she had arrived.
Armand replied quickly. He told her that he would come downstairs and get her.
She stood by the door and waited patiently.
At this time, a cab stopped at the door. A young lady came out from the cab first, followed by Armand’s
grandmother, Elizabeth.
With the help of the cab driver, Elizabeth managed to get down from the cab and onto the wheelchair.
“Has Armand been staying here after leaving home?” Elizabeth was displeased.
Dora nodded, “Yes, this is the right place.”
