Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 107

"Belle, you're here." She opened her dry, cracked lips, her voice hoarse.

But, soon, her eyes were fixed on one person for a long time.

"Mom." Calvin met her eyes with a light smile of apology.

Mom? Was this 'Mom' he shouted out? Belle was surprised, the voice was so natural and affectionate that even she wondered if it was his voice.

In any case, he promised her that he would keep their divorce a secret in front of her mother, and she was so grateful, but she didn't expect him to call Kate "Mom."

He called out in such a natural way, making Belle feel that he was sincere and at least honoured his promise.

Kate, however, just stared at him for a long time.

There was not much surprise on her face, the light in her dull eyes was deep and dark, which made Calvin's heart sink, and the guilt and shame in his heart made him very uneasy.

Knowing the meaning of her gaze, he was apprehensive and put the nutrition and flowers he brought on the bed, reached out and put his arm around Belle's shoulder and said softly, "Belle, isn't Mon fine? Why are you so sad? Now that the kidney source has been found, everything will be fine."

Despite saying this, his heart was still not feeling good. Since he had been married for so long, this was the first time he had called Kate as "Mom", and he had really never come over to see this nominal mother-in-law, so he can imagine that she must not have a good feeling towards him in her heart.

But his words reminded Belle, who was grieving.

She dried her tears and smiled as sweetly as she could, and said to Kate, "Mom, cheer up, Calvin has been searching for a kidney source all over the world since he found out about your illness, and now he has finally found this rare kidney source. Mom, you will soon be well, be strong and don't let Calvin down, I really have to thank him for this!"

Belle's tone was cheerful and relaxed, and she looked very happy, as if she and Calvin had a harmonious and affectionate relationship as husband and wife.

"Mom, I'm sorry for only coming to see you now, I've been too busy, please forgive me." Calvin's face had a guilty look on it, and he took the opportunity to speak up.

But Kate's face did not show too much expression.

She was not a fool. Her daughter had been married to him for so many years, when had he ever done what a son-in-law should do? She did not to expect him to give her anything but the bare minimum of courtesy.

She lies in bed every day, and despite Marry's deliberate concealment about Belle, she has learned from the news media that her daughter has been living unhappily since she married him, and that they have divorced.

This huge blow crushed her completely!

Knowing that her daughter had gone to great lengths to hide it from her, she pretended not to know it, but such a blow caused her to lose all confidence in life, and her longing for her husband and her daughter's worries caused her to suffer from depression, and her previously unrecovered health deteriorated day by day.

Until now suffering from UTI, she doesn't care anymore!

At that time, Rhys came over to keep her company, although he did not say anything, she saw Rhys's sincerity. He was gentle and elegant, and he was not worse than Calvin at all, and more importantly, he loved his daughter and would treat her well, if her daughter had a man good to her, she would be happy.

But her daughter is still in love with Calvin, she was sad about that. Her husband had a car accident and her only daughter had an unhappy married life!

Why was her daughter so foolish!

Tears slowly fell from her tightly closed eyes and she tilted her head to the side.

"Mom, be happy, now that the kidney source has been found, the operation will be done soon, everything is going in a good direction, but the key is that you have to be happy, optimistic and cooperate with the doctor's treatment, so that your condition will heal faster." Belle held Kate's hand tightly and said seriously, "Mom, you are my only family in this world, you can't leave me."

Belle choked up again at this point.

Kate's gaze slowly moved towards Belle, her pale hand holding Belle's hand, her eyes full of love and reluctance.

"Belle, I am okay, it's good for me to go and keep your dad company, but the person I worry about the most is you." Her voice trembled, and her face was thick with melancholy.

"No, Mom, you're still young, you're the only one family I have, you must be cured, you can't go! You can't leave me!" Belle's heart was twisting and she held Kate's hand tightly, unable to stop the tears from flowing down her face.

"Belle, don't say that, I'm here with you, so don’t worry." Calvin frowned. Women are sentimental. Kate was so sick and she should force a smile, but she was crying, which would upset her mother, so at once Calvin wrapped his arms around her body, lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

Belle immediately came back to her sense and said with a smile, "Mom, I'll go to the bathroom." After saying these words, she covered her face and fled into the bathroom in a panic to fix her makeup.

"Mom, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely try to cure your illness." In order to soothe Kate's heart, Calvin took a step forward and said warmly.

Kate became gloomier. Her dark eyes were fixed on Calvin's face and she calmly asked, "Calvin, my illness is not important, but I want to know one thing now, can you tell me the truth?"

Calvin froze, his heart flashed with fear, already aware of what she wanted to ask, and his body stiffened.

"Mom, if you have any questions, just ask me. In the past I was busy and the time I came over to see you was really limited, in the future I will come over to see you more often with Belle, just don't worry." He finished the sentence in one breath, actually relieving her mind, dispelling her doubts and telling her not to think too much.

But Kate was not stupid, she knew her illness. Although Belle claimed to have found a kidney source, but whether she could leave the operating room alive or not was no one's guarantee, and the chances of seeing Calvin on weekdays were too few, so she did not want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Calvin, have you already divorced?" She didn't have much time and energy to beat around the bush, even though Calvin had already prepared himself, his face went stiff.

It is true that they have already divorced, but he has promised Belle to keep this secret for her, besides, Kate is in such a state now, how can he bear to tell her the truth? And now he is feeling more and more inseparable from Belle, he is afraid of losing her!

He was therefore quick to shake his head.

"It's not true, Mom, who are you hearing this from? Belle and I are very close, how could we possibly get a divorce?" Calvin's face was full of certainty and he said with a straight face, "Mom, think about it, Belle was appointed by Grandma, how could she divorce me? Even if I wanted to divorce her, it wouldn't work, Grandma wouldn't agree with it. So, don’t worry about it, as long as I am with Belle, I will protect her.”

Kate's face gradually became better, she indeed had seen with her own eyes Belle's name being engraved on Harvey's ancestral tablet, and a grand ceremony was held. And now she saw the Belle and Calvin were intimate.

She really should believe that.

After all, the news media is always making things up and she could not believe everything.

Soon her heart was much relieved and her face was much more lively, with a delighted smile.

Belle was standing by the bathroom, listening to Calvin's words that reassured her mother, but her heart was full of mixed feelings. He said it so naturally, not to mention her mother, even she, the person involved, almost believed it. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would have thought what happened before was all a dream.

But unfortunately, it happens to be true.

Of course, if she can convince her mother, she has achieved the desired effect!

"Calvin, can you promise me one thing?" Kate's heart was grounded, and even her voice was much more loving as she spoke softly with a supplicating look.

"Yes, sure." Calvin nodded without thinking, speaking warmly.

Kate's face is becoming more and more vivid, and her eyes are much clearer.

"Calvin, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, take care of my daughter and love her with all your heart, so that I will rest in peace." Her voice trembled and her eyes were full of a supplicating light.

Her eyes were so passionate and eager, Calvin was overwhelmed by her gaze, his heart was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He looked into Kate's eyes, and after only a brief pause, he spoke solemnly, “Mom, don't worry, no matter what will happen in the future, I will take care of her, please feel free to leave her to me."

A happy smile finally appeared on Kate's face, and with tears of excitement in her eyes, she said emotionally, "Okay, okay, thank you."
