The three of them strolled around the lake in the neighborhood. Soon, Mireya’s messy thoughts were gone.
When they had dinner in the Snow family’s residence that day, Wendy was relieved to see the harmonious family. “When are the two of you… planning to hold a wedding?”
Mireya was stunned. Only then did it hit her that she and Rodney had not held a wedding despite already having a child together.
Any woman would long for a wedding.
Furthermore, when some people gossiped about Mireya, she felt ashamed.
Mireya instantly went quiet.
Rodney froze too. After glancing at the woman beside him, he was racked with guilt. “Yeah, we must have a wedding.”
“We’ll hold it before the new year then.” Old Master Snow said in a good mood, “Make it grand. You can book an island in Albany.”
“Yeah.” Wendy agreed joyfully. “We’ll have a helicopter to pick the bride. As for the wedding gown, we’ll hire the best designer to design it.”
Jason also agreed. “Get the preparation started tomorrow. Let’s leave it to your mom to hire the best wedding team. Alright, Mireya?”
Upon hearing it, Mireya was stunned. Only after a while did she come to her senses and answer, “Yes. I think that’s a good idea.”
“Good.” Old Master Snow said, “Rodney, you’d better put more effort into the wedding and be serious about it. There will be a lot of wealthy and noble people attending your wedding. What’s more, it’s Mireya and your wedding. It only happens once in a lifetime.”
“Grandpa, I will.”
Rodney promptly nodded in acknowledgment.
After dinner, Mireya and Wendy sat together to look at some of their favorite wedding pictures on the phone.
Mireya got excited when talking about her wedding since money was not her concern. “Mom, won’t it be too troublesome to pick me up from Melbourne to an island in Albany in a helicopter?”
“What’s so troublesome about it? The flight will only take an hour plus. The whole of Melbourne will see your grand wedding, and all the women in Australia will be jealous.” Wendy grinned.
Undeniably, women understood women’s thoughts best. “Rodney, am I right?”
“Yes, yes. Whatever you say is right, Mom.” As soon as Rodney finished nodding, he could not help but think that Sarah would see that too. In that case, she would be jealous.
He then thought of that woman. The better he treated Mireya, the guiltier he felt toward Sarah.
Just as this woman came across his mind, he received a call from her.
He walked to the dining room while feigning calmness. “What’s the matter?”
“Rodney, can you… come over? The electricity here went off all of a sudden, and I accidentally fell down in the dark, ” Sarah said weakly.
“Are you alright?” Rodney was so shocked that he quickly asked in a deep voice.
“I think I’ve sprained my ankle.” Sarah muttered, ” I have no idea why the lights are off. I glanced outside and noticed that the elevator was a little…”
“I’ll ask Hans to go over first, and I’ll come over later. Don’t move around…”
“No.” Sarah said bashfully, “I was just trying to wear my pajamas when I sprained my ankle, so I’m not dressed appropriately. But I can’t move. Can you come over and put on a shirt for me?”
Rodney took a glimpse at Mireya in the living room and tightened his grip on his phone. “Alright, I’ll come over right now.”
After hanging up, he racked his brains to come up with an excuse. Then, he walked to Mireya and said, ” Wifey, I’ll have the chauffeur to send you and Dani home. Mr. Micheal, whom I’ve always wanted to meet previously, has suddenly returned to the country. He’s available tonight, so I need to go over to meet him now.”
Mireya was dumbfounded while Wendy asked, ” Who’s Mr. Micheal?”
“He’s an expert in lithium batteries, and I want to ask him something,” Rodney responded.
“Go ahead. then. I’ll have the chauffeur to send them home in a while.” Wendy waved her hand. Then, she held Mireya’s hand and said, “Come. Let’s continue.”
Mireya nodded.
Rodney let out a sigh of relief before he swiftly drove to Sarah’s apartment.
Rodney opened the door and entered the apartment straight away. After turning on the flashlight on his phone, he saw Sarah in a thin laced dress lying in the living room. At one glance, he could tell that the dress was all she was wearing.
The young and vigorous Rodney, who had just done it, instantly felt blood rushing to his head.
He quickly looked away. Then, he took a jacket from the bedroom to cover Sarah’s body. When he carried her, he realized that she was trembling all over, and she subconsciously snuggled in his arms.
Rodney’s body stiffened momentarily, and he promptly started a conversation. “Why are you dressed like this?”
“This is how I dress whenever I’m alone. There’s heating here, so I’m not afraid of the cold. But after the electricity went off, the heating stopped working.” Sarah said, shivering, “I think I broke my ankle. It hurts when I move.”
Rodney lowered his head and saw her swollen ankle.
He immediately called a personal doctor over.
Before the doctor arrived, he checked the apartment and found out that the circuit breaker was tripped.
” It turns out that the circuit breaker was tripped.” Sarah was bummed out. “I was under the impression that something went wrong with the circuit breaker. How silly of me.”
“It’s normal for women to know nothing about things like this.” It was not a big deal to Rodney because Mireya did not know about this as well.
Soon, the doctor brought a first-aid kit over. After examining Sarah, he said, “She didn’t break her ankle. It’s just sprained. It’ll take half a month to one month for it to heal. Don’t move around during this period. It’s best that you hire someone to take care of you.”
Rodney frowned as the issue was a little troublesome.
If he were to hire someone, that person had to be trustworthy.
“Hey, you’re feverish too.” The doctor suddenly reached out to feel Sarah’s forehead.
Sarah smiled bashfully without saying anything.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re not feeling well?” Rodney touched her forehead guiltily, only to realize that she was having a high fever.
“I didn’t expect myself to be so weak either. I probably caught a cold when I fell down just now.” Sarah gave a bitter laugh. “I’ll be fine.”
Upon hearing her words, Rodney felt even guiltier. He should have driven at a faster speed just now.
Perhaps he should assign someone to look after her every night. After all, it was worrying for a woman like her to live alone.
Only after the doctor checked her temperature did he realize that it was 39 degrees Celsius.
Once Sarah took the medicine, she urged Rodney to leave as soon as possible. “Alright. Thanks for tonight. You should hurry up and go home.”
“How can I leave with your current condition? Go to sleep. I’ll leave after you fall asleep and your fever goes away.”
Rodney took a chair and sat beside her.
Sarah threw a glance at him before falling asleep in a daze.
Afraid of disturbing her, Rodney set his phone on silent mode. He also sent Mireya a WhatsApp message. [Sleep early. I’m not sure when I’ll finish my discussion with Mr. Micheal.]
As soon as he sent the message, Sarah began to groan all of a sudden.
Rodney quickly changed the towel on her forehead, but Sarah suddenly gripped his hand and mumbled, “Rodney… Rodney… I miss you so much.”
Her words made him grow upset. He became soft— hearted and weak. “Don’t worry, Sarah. I’m here… “
As he softly coaxed Sarah, she slowly quietened but did not let go of his hand.
In the villa.
Looking at the phone that had been ringing for a long time, Mireya slowly put it down.
She could hear Dani crying downstairs.
A moment later, she rose to her feet and headed downstairs. Then, she took Dani over from Aunty Cally. “Let me carry her.”
