She chatted with the two children for half an hour. It was not over until Enrique had to go back to work.
She returned the phone to him. Teresa didn't say anything, and Enrique didn't say anything either. He
stood up, took the lunch boxes out and threw them away. Teresa looked at the back of Enrique, and her
eyes flashed. He gave her a different feeling.
She could still remember when she just came back with her two children, Enrique looked like a devil
from the hell who wanted to devour her in one gulp. But now, she could clearly feel that his aura was
much softer.
"Abby, are you soft hearted now?"
Teresa turned around and saw Lena's anxious face. She smiled and patted Lena's hand.
"Sister, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Abby."
Lena still wanted to say something, but she didn't go on. Couldn't Abby see that it was all pretended by
Enrique? His intention was obvious. He wanted to trap Abby by his side and torture her for a lifetime.
As for the two children, they would be his. Kill two birds with one stone. Enrique always used this kind
of insidious trick.
"Sister, I'm fine."
Teresa shook her head as if she had thought of something.
"By the way, sister, can you help me ask the doctor when I can leave the hospital? I have asked for
leave for so many days. I haven't finished the design work to the TH Group."
"You naughty girl, you are in such a bad condition now. You shouldn't think about your work for these
days. Take good care of yourself first."
"Sister, if I don't do anything else, I will be bored to death. How about you bring me some drawing
papers?"
"No."
"Would you like to go out with me? I'm just full. I want to take a walk."
"I can agree this reluctantly."
In fact, Teresa had been rest for a few days, and she could walk on the ground without being helped by
others. However, Lena was still worried about her. She had to thank god for giving her such a brother
and sister as well as the Gu Family.
The two girls walked slowly in the corridor. Teresa proposed to sit beside the flower bed in the hospital
to bask in the sun. Lena also wanted to do so. They two didn't walk fast.
In the flower bed, the flowers were in full bloom. Lena and Teresa, they found a chair with a good view
and sat down. Behind the chair, there was a small tree. Hand in hand, they talked about something
interesting in their childhood. Behind them stood a woman in her thirties. Her expression seemed
extremely complicated, full of happy and sad. Beside her stood a girl about the same age as Bruce and
Brain.
The woman's hand gently brushed over the tree behind them, the tree which was as thick as a human
wrist. Lena and Teresa took a look at each other. The little girl had two pigtails and her face was very
cute. When Teresa saw that child, she thought of her own children.
"Kid, I have an apple here. Do you want to eat it?"
Teresa passed the apple in her hand to the little girl. The apple was brought by Enrique. She took it out
and wanted to eat it after the lunch was digested. But now she thought she could give it to this little girl.
The little girl looked at the woman standing beside her, and then looked at the beautiful auntie who
handed her the apple. She swallowed and shook her head.
Teresa could tell that the girl actually wanted to eat this apple, but she didn't accept it because of the
woman beside her. She looked at the woman standing beside the tree with a smile.
"Are you the little girl's mother?"
Hearing her voice, the woman walked out of her memory, smiled at Teresa and nodded.
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"Oh, I just saw that your daughter is cute. She reminded me of my sons, so I wanted to give her an
apple. Your daughter is very sensible and did not accept it."
"Thank you. Rebecca, do you want to eat?"
The woman lowered her head gently and asked the child beside her. The little girl nodded and then
shook her head.
"Mommy. I don't want to eat anything. Mommy, you don't have to buy me anything. I really don't want to
eat."
With these words, the little girl's eyes turned red, and the woman was also distressed. She looked at
the apple handed over by Teresa and nodded at Teresa.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's not a big deal."
Teresa stood up, took the woman's hand and put the apple in her hand. It was just an apple.
"Rebecca. Say thank you to the auntie."
"Thank you, auntie. I will buy you many apples when I make money after I grow up."
"Good girl."
Teresa lowered her head and touched the little girl's head. Her eyes also flashed with pity. How could a
child at such a young age think about how to make money? At the same time, the two little figures,
Brain and Bruce, appeared in her mind. They said in a sweet voice that they would protect their mother
when they grew up.
"Well. What's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Aaliyah Che."
"My name is Teresa Gu. This is my sister Lena Gu. I just saw you touch that tree all the time just now.
What is the story of this tree?"
Teresa had thought that she touched the tree for some reason, for example health. Teresa had seen
many uncles and aunts leaning against the tree and taking deep breaths in the park in the morning. It
was said that doing something like this was good for their health.
Aaliyah Che also nodded at Lena. But when Teresa mentioned the tree behind her, her expression was
somewhat wrong. Teresa felt a little embarrassed when she saw that the woman was unwilling to talk
more.
"Well, if it's not convenient..."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. The tree was planted by me and Rebecca's father four years ago."
"Didn't Rebecca's father come with you today?"
As soon as Lena asked, Teresa kicked her slightly. She had already regretted asking such a question
about the tree at the very beginning. It was obvious that she had some unspeakable reasons. However,
Lena's unintentional question made Aaliyah Che sadder.
"Well, I'm sorry. We shouldn't have asked that."
"It's okay."
Aaliyah Che waved her hand to show that she didn't care.
"The child's father died four years ago."
Later, Teresa learned that four years ago, Aaliyah Che was pregnant. Her husband accompanied her to
the hospital for examination and planted this tree here, saying that it was a tree of hope. He would take
Rebecca to see it when she grew up. As a result, the pregnant woman had a bad temper. At that time,
Aaliyah Che always felt that her husband had an affair.
As for her husband, he was just busy making money and wanted to give his child a better environment.
He went home tiredly every day and had to face Aaliyah Che's temper. Sometimes, when Aaliyah Che
quarreled with him, he would fall asleep because of his tiredness. But Aaliyah Che, every time, would
seize this point and wake him up. Until one day, an accident happened.
