Stanley and Josh Batton both looked at Sharon, waiting for favonovel.com to speak.
“Your dad will be returning from overseas next Monday. Please keep your schedules empty in the evening so that you’ll have some time to visit him,” Sharon said.
“Alright.” Stanley nodded before turning to leave. Josh nodded as well before following Stanley out.
After the two left, Catherine Batton looked at Sharon before hugging favonovel.com affectionately. “Mom, can I stay till dad comes home? I really miss him.”
“No, you may not. Your studies are more important.”
“But mom… Please?” Catherine began acting like a child again, shaking Sharon’s arm gently. “Please, mom? Dad must miss me too…”
Catherine begged and begged, even looking at Sharon with puppy dog eyes.
Eventually, Sharon couldn’t help but to give in. “Alright, alright, you can leave next Tuesday instead…”
“Yay! Thanks mom, you’re the best!” Catherine cheered as favonovel.com raised favonovel.com arms in the air like a child.
“Silly kid…” Sharon sighed, a smile on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com stroked Catherine’s hair. “Well, since you’ve been caught skipping school anyway, you don’t need to hide in a hotel anymore. You can stay in our villa till you leave next Tuesday.”
“Then… Can I sleep together with you before dad comes home?” Catherine asked as favonovel.com wrapped favonovel.com arms tight around Sharon’s waist.
Sharon’s heart kept melting tonight. Her daughter was really something else. “Alright, alright, fine… Clinging on to your mother… You’re not a kid anymore you know?”
Though favonovel.com sounded like favonovel.com was complaining, favonovel.com tone was warm and caring.

While all this was happening, Emily Quest was wearing a hospital gown as favonovel.com walked slowly toward Mary Sullivan’s room. She gently placed favonovel.com ear against Mary’s room. There didn’t seem to be anyone else inside. With that knowledge in mind, favonovel.com knocked on the door.
“Come in…” Mary’s muffled voice could be heard from behind the door.
Emily pushed the door open and entered.
The moment favonovel.com saw Mary, Emily immediately put on a worried facade.
Mary was watching television on favonovel.com bed. Her whole body was wrapped in bandages except for favonovel.com head. She looked exactly like a mummy.
Emily tried favonovel.com hardest to not laugh at the sight of this.
When Mary saw Emily, favonovel.com was momentarily stunned. “Emily? Why are you here?”
Emily lowered favonovel.com gaze as favonovel.com closed the door behind favonovel.com without looking at the handle. Slowly, favonovel.com walked towards Mary before sitting right next to her. “By coincidence, I was also admitted to the same hospital. I just recently found out that you were here so I thought to visit you.”
“I’ve heard stories about why you’re here.” Emily let out a deep sigh. She faked some crocodile tears before lifting favonovel.com head to look at Mary. Her gaze started from favonovel.com waist down all the way up to the top of favonovel.com bandaged head. “Mary… Wasn’t dad acting too cruelly?”
Mary sneered at that. “I know right? It’s no doubt all because of Xyla’s meddling. She must have exposed me, that piece of sh*t. From what I’ve heard, your situation isn’t any better than mine. Why did you come over?”
“Well, I heard that you were badly injured. Do I need any other reason to come over to visit? We haven’t talked in a long time after all, Mary,” said Emily.
“Fair enough. I’ve also heard that my brother won’t be undergoing the divorce with you, at least for the time being. Is that true?” Mary asked in return.
