Chapter 248 Be My Woman (Part One)

Selah had gone back to the hospital after finishing her work, but she couldn't find her son in the ward. She was about to go out to look for Ray when a nurse brought him back.

"Ray!" Selah called to him, smiling. "Where have you been?" she asked.

"Mommy!" Ray rushed over happily. "I asked the nurse to take me to the man I bumped into this morning. I wanted to apologize to him."

'Barry Gu?' Selah thought.

She ruffled her son's hair and beamed at him. "Such a good boy, Ray! Did he scold you?"

"No, he didn't." Ray shook his head. "Uncle was so nice! He said he works with Mommy."

"Yes, he does," Selah said. She stroked his soft cheek. "How are your eyes, sweetie? Won't you feel uncomfortable covered in gauze?"

"No, I'll be okay. I know it'll help me recover faster." Ray hugged his mother. "Mommy, can you stay here tonight?" he asked quietly.

"Oh, Ray..." Selah felt her heart squeeze. "I won't leave. I'll stay in the hospital with you," she said, kissing her son's forehead.

"Yeah! Thanks, Mommy!" Ray cheered.

"You have to be a good boy then, Ray! Don't lose your temper anymore, okay?"

"Okay! I know what I did earlier today was wrong. Sorry, Mommy."

"That's good. When

do. I'll meet you after I finish up. Where are you?"

"I'm in the cafe across from your building."

"Oh, you're already here!" Mary said. Glancing at the clock, she said, "All right, I'll be quick."

"It's okay. Don't rush." William smiled. "Focus for now and finish up soon. I'll see you in a bit."

"See you!"

William frowned as he hung up the phone. Later, he had to take her to the hospital to see Lucas. He also needed to consult with a doctor and see who had a problem, either him or Mary.

Tinkle!

The cafe's door was pushed open, accompanied by the tinkling sound of the little bell at the top.

"Welcome!"

"Hello!" The woman wore a thin windbreaker and was beginning to scan the menu by the counter.

Glancing up around the place and spotting her, William hastily put down his cup of coffee. He raised his hand to get the woman's attention. "Here!"

"Hmm?" Hearing someone call out to her, Aisha turned around and saw William waving at her.

"You arrived sooner than I expected!" With a bright smile, William walked up and led her to his table. As he gently placed his hand in hers, he got the sudden feeling something was off.

When did Mary get calluses on her dainty hand?
