After the Snow family left, only Cate and a caretaker were left in the ward. However, the anesthetic was wearing off, and Mireya could not sleep well from the pain.
In the wee hours, Mireya’s parents and Forrest arrived from Melbourne.
As soon as Mireya saw her parents, she could not help but hug her mother and start to cry. “Mom, I miss you so much. I thought I’d never see you again.”
“What are you talking about? You were only giving birth. It wouldn’t have killed you. But didn’t you say you were due next month? Why did you suddenly go into labor?” Mrs. Lynch was heartbroken. It was said that a woman was on the edge of life and death when she gave birth, but Mrs. Lynch was not there to accompany her daughter.
Mireya did not say anything, and instead, she cried harder.
“What happened?” Mr. Lynch’s face sunk. “Did Rodney bully you?”
Mireya sniffled and said hoarsely, “Mom, Dad, I want a divorce.”
Although she did not admit it, proposing a divorce was tantamount to indirectly admitting that Rodney had bullied her.
Forrest’s expression went cold, and he walked out without saying a word.
At that moment, Rodney steeled his nerves and walked in.
“You’re here just in time. What the hell did you do to Mireya?” Forrest punched Rodney as he asked.
Rodney stumbled back a few steps and hit the door threshold. He was stunned. As Young Master Snow, he was rarely beaten like this. After his uncle became the prime minister, he was looked up to no matter where he went.
Deep down, he was angry. However, when faced with the accusing eyes of the Lynch family, that anger was seemingly stifled and could not be released.
“That’s… Forrest, calm down.” Rodney raised his hand and hurriedly looked at Cate, the only calm person in the ward, for help.
Cate looked at the washboard in his hand and sighed as she walked up. “Uncle, Aunty, listen to what he has to say.”
“Let him speak.”
Mr. Lynch said in a cold voice, “Rodney Snow, I know your status is extraordinary, but you should know very well why you got married. Although our Lynch family is small, Mireya has come this far because your family forced her to. Yes, you guys made her the prime minister’s goddaughter, but do you think my family cares about building a relationship with the prime minister? She has to face the same amount of danger as the amount of glory she has. Just take the incident with Gavin Mead. If she hadn’t gotten involved with the Snow family, would she have had to live in fear every day?”
“That’s right. It’s not as if our family has no money.” Mrs. Lynch also agreed. “During the engagement, you looked down on my daughter and wanted to hook up with another woman. You even made Mireya get an abortion. After that woman didn’t want you, you came back to Mireya again. I’ve always wanted to ask you this. Who do you think you are? What’s wrong with my daughter? Why should she be your backup? Are you worthy of her?”
Rodney went ashen from their accusations.
After a few moments, he gnashed his teeth and put the washing board on the ground to kneel on it.
It hurt. It really f*cking hurt.
The people in the ward were all stunned. Even Mireya was shocked.
“I’m sorry. It was my fault. It was because I quarreled with Mireya that she went into premature labor.”
Rodney took out a black card from his pocket. His handsome eyes looked at Mireya pitifully. “You were right to scold me. As a man, not only did I not give you money, but I even gave away the clothes that you bought. I’m not human. From now on, you can keep this card and spend it on whatever you want to. I’ve also bought the mall that you shopped at earlier. It’s under your name now, so you can go shopping without spending any money.
“Later, the mall will send over new magazines for this season. No matter if it’s shoes or clothes, whatever you like can be sent over.”
Mireya’s pale lips opened in slight surprise. He had bought the entire mall for her?
That mall was one of the few megamalls in the capital. It should cost a lot of money, right?
Furthermore, a stubborn man like Rodney was actually kneeling on a washboard for her in front of other people.
Mireya thought her eyes and ears were playing tricks on her. Was she hallucinating?
Not to mention Mireya, even Cate admired Rodney’s actions.
She only told Rodney to compensate Mireya with clothes, but he went all out and bought the entire mall.
Forrest frowned coldly. “Rodney Snow, I admit that you’re very generous with materialistic things, but what a woman needs is emotional satisfaction. You don’t even know how to be patient with your pregnant wife and aggravated her so much that she went into premature labor. What makes you qualified to be her husband?”
“I’ll change in the future, Brother.”
Rodney looked at the child in the cradle pitifully. ” Besides, it’s her confinement period now, and I need to help take care of the child. Otherwise, Mireya will have a hard time. I swear that I can do all the dirty work. Mireya only needs to make sure that she’s comfortable during her confinement period. If you guys are still worried, you can personally stay to supervise, Mother-in-law. Think about it. The baby is so young. She’ll be miserable without a father.”
He admitted his mistake with a good attitude and used the child to poke their weak spot.
For a moment, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch did not know what to say.
In any case, divorce was not good for the child, and Mireya was also in her confinement period.
After a long time, Mr. Lynch spoke up as the head of the family. “We’ll talk about it after her confinement period ends in a month. We’ll see how you perform.”
“Dad…” Mireya pursed her lips.
Although Rodney’s attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good, his act of buying the mall surprised her. Seeing him kneeling on the washboard was very satisfying, but she still could not forget how much she suffered when he made her angry.
Mrs. Lynch sighed. “What? If you get a divorce now, he can be completely indifferent to the child’s affairs. You’ll have to stay up all night to nurse the baby while he sleeps comfortably at home. Are you willing?”
Mireya was speechless. No, she was not. “Knock knock…”
A series of knocks suddenly sounded from the door.
Everyone turned around only to see Shaun standing at the door with his prominent features, and a thin smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
“Shaun, why are you here?” Rodney was so shocked that he tried to get up from the washing board.
However, as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his knee and fell down miserably again.
Shaun looked at Rodney, and his smile twitched. Then, he averted his gaze and looked at Cate instead. “I’m here to pick you up.”
He looked straight at her, and Cate felt her cheeks heat up inexplicably.
Mrs. Lynch smiled. “Go back, Cate. We’re here, so I’ll keep watch tonight. Besides…”
After a pause, she glanced at Rodney. “Since a certain someone said that he wants to take care of the mother and child at night, I have to let him perform well.”
“Mother-in-law is right. Hurry up and leave with Shaun.”
Rodney gestured with his hand.
“Alright.” Cate smiled and said goodbye to Mireya before preparing to leave with Shaun.
“Hold on.” Shaun took out a gift and put it beside the baby.
Rodney glanced at it and said, “Dude, your gift is too expensive. I didn’t expect you to be so generous.”
Shaun glanced at him and smirked. “She’s Cate’s best friend’s daughter. It’s only natural that I buy something expensive.”
Rodney was speechless.
It implied that this gift from his brother had nothing to do with him.
“Pfft.”
Mireya looked at Rodney’s defeated expression and could not help but laugh. This was what it looked like when one flattered himself too much.
When Rodney saw her laugh, he relaxed.
Thank God. She finally smiled.
If he had known earlier, he would tell Shaun to humiliate him more.
“Let’s go.” Shaun wrapped a hand around Cate’s shoulder, and they both left.
In the quiet corridor, Cate asked, “Why are you here? Where’s Suzie and Lucas?”
“They’re asleep, ” Shaun said. “Don’t worry. They sleep like little piggies. They won’t wake up at all. I came here after Chester told me that you’re here accompanying Mireya.”
“Since you know I want to accompany her, why did you come and get me?” Cate snapped at him.
