Chapter 297 You Would Be Happy

William was given two consecutive critical condition notices within the day. The doctors and nurses attended to him around the clock, and those caring about him didn't move a step from his ward.

Outside in the corridor, Mary sat on a chair and refused to leave, no matter how much others tried to persuade her. She was adamant about staying with William. The only way she could ease her mind was if she saw him in person.

"Mary, you should eat something." The sunrise crept onto the corridor, slowly filling it up with the morning light. Amy approached Mary and said, "You've been waiting here all day, and you haven't had a bite to eat. William is much better now."

"I don't have much of an appetite." Mary shook her head and stared blankly at her, exhaustion evident on her face. 'When can I go see him?' she wondered.

"You have to force yourself to eat even if you don't have an appetite." Amy placed a food box in her hands and warned, "You're not in good condition. The baby you're carrying also needs to eat. Think of your child."

"I'm really not hungry," Mary murmured, biting her lips.

"Mary," Amy said in a soothing tone and smoothed her hair with her hand, "you need to take good care of yourself. If you don't, who will take care of William when he wakes up? You can't just sit here and

f Barry many times. He had threatened her a few times.

Mary smiled when she saw Selah's reaction. After a long pause, she continued, "I truly hope that whatever happened between Barry and I won't cause any distress in you. After all, I almost married him. If I were you, I wouldn't be so tolerant." Mary looked back at the ward and said, "But William is the only man in my heart now. If I were to be honest, Barry and I both had cold feet on our wedding day."

"What do you mean?" Selah asked, "Cold feet?"

"Yes." Mary nodded, "Even if the kidnapping didn't happen, I don't think we would've pushed through with the wedding. Before I walked down the aisle, Barry came up to me and told me something about Ray."

Selah took a deep breath.

"He will be a good father and husband to you." Mary smiled vaguely.

A husband?

Selah was appalled. Was she really going to try and make things work with Barry? Could they be together?

"I heard about what happened to you and Barry. Fate is a strange and wonderful thing," Mary said with a soft smile. "I have faith that you could be happy together."

"I appreciate you saying that, Mary." Selah didn't know what else to say. "Mr. Lan and you… I'm also hoping for your happiness."

"Me too." Mary looked back at the ward and was lost in her thoughts.
