You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 138

At Sky Corporation,

“Sir, here are the documents that Mrs. Sky signed,” George announced putting the envelope on Bill’s working table.

“Okay. You may go now.” Bill ordered without looking at George and his eyes pierced to the white envelope in front of him.

A quick playful grin appeared in his expression as he opened the envelope and got the papers out of it.

As he read it, his grin widened seeing the bashful words written on the contract.

‘FUCK YOU!’ - written in all areas allotted for her signatures.

‘GO BACK TO HELL!’ – written in every corner of the paper with a monster with two horns drawing.

‘JERK! JERK! JERK!’ – written on every page with bold and capital letters overlapping the words in the contract.

‘LEAVE ME ALONE PERVERT!’ – written on top of the paper on every page.

He could imagine the boiling anger she wore while vandalizing the contract.

Bill smiled at the thought of it but one could not easily predict what he’s thinking.

Four days after the accident, her neck and spine braces were removed but she still had her hinged elbow brace hung on her shoulder and one leg brace. The doctors seemed to be very competitive in their commitment plus the pressure they’ve been getting from Bill’s order.

Luckily, Bill didn’t show up anymore. She could feel relief without him around. In the afternoon, she requested to see her mother. The nurse helped her to go to her mom’s room in a wheelchair.

When they arrived, Jaime was lying on the bed helplessly.

“Mom…” Arabella sentimentally whispered holding her mom’s hand tenderly. Though her mom had no memory of her, she still felt calmed touching her hand. Her warmth was still there that only a daughter could understand the comforting connection between mother and daughter.

Sensing her touch, Jaime’s eyes slowly opened. Her eyes looked at Arabella blankly before a spark in her eyes flickered.

“Ar… Arabella? Ma… my daughter?” Jaime’s voice was weak but she managed to say her daughter’s name. Looking at the girl in a wheelchair with an injured leg and arm, she could feel her heart was torn apart. Then slowly, she saw a very familiar face.

Her daughter.

Her daughter was hurt.

Troubled and worried, Jaime struggled to lift her fragile body and sat on the bed to have a good sight of her daughter.

Arabella’s tears automatically came down flowing. She didn’t expect to hear her name again from her mother’s mouth.

She was happy.

Very happy!

She wanted to jump for joy again. Hearing her name was like hearing the melody from the trumpets of the angels. The kind of music that gives serenity and heals one’s soul.

“Mom. I’m here. It’s me your daughter!” She let out freely all her joyful tears and smile at the same time.

“Wha… what happened to you? My daughter! My daughter!” Jaime cried worriedly. She felt very happy but felt very worried about Arabella.

“Mom, Thank God!” She uttered with satisfaction in her heart. Arabella wanted to hug her but still, she had no confidence to stand alone as she could not feel her legs at all. She reached for her mother’s hand and gently kissed it.

A very loving kiss.

How she missed her mother a lot. She waited for this day that finally Jaime could remember her.

That her mother could remember her as her only daughter and not the murderer of her husband.

“Mom. Don’t worry about me. I am okay.” She smiled hugging her mother’s hand with her tears dripping down.

As the air filled with surprises and joy,

“Where… Where is your father?” Her mother suddenly asked. Jaime’s tearful eyes looked at her worriedly.

Arabella was quite at a loss.

Great consternation was traced on her face due to her mother’s words but she managed to let go of a smile to her mom.

Deep inside, she didn’t know how to reply to her mom’s question. She was unable to find accurate words to answer Jaime.

How could she tell her that her husband had died 6 years ago?

The thought of her mom’s crying and screaming in agony was already breaking her heart.

No!

Looking at her mom, her heart was clenched. She knew her mom loved her father so much that even after 6 years in trauma, she was still able to remember him. Sympathy and despair suddenly enveloped her heart with the thought of her father and her mother’s situation. She just thought her mother got back all her memory but it seemed she was still trapped in her trauma for a very long time and still didn’t recover completely.

Getting rid of her dismay, she was still thankful that her mother had already acknowledged her. It’s enough for her to be more than happy. It’s already a blessing.

It takes more time.

Maybe day by day her mother would remember everything.

“Mom… you may be tired. You need to continue your sleep.” She managed to utter some words to appease her mom. Jaime still looked very tired from her intensive daily treatments.

“Okay. Please tell your father to visit me again. I want to see him.” Jaime said and lay down back to bed.

Her mother’s words made her goosebumps appear.

No!

She was there when her father died. Her mother's words were way too impossible but why she feels disturbed inside. There’s something inside her that her mom was telling the truth or could it be just that she was also wishing that her father was still alive?

No.

Maybe it’s just her mother’s hallucination.

She was snapped back to her senses when she saw her mother was still patiently waiting for her reply.

“Please rest now mom. Rest assured I will tell dad.” She didn’t want to lie but she had to. She could not make her mother disappointed at this time.

After hearing her answer, Jaime slowly closed her eyes then whispered, “I am happy to see you again my daughter. Always remember that mommy loves you.” Jaime lovingly expressed with tears dripping in the corner of her eyes.

Arabella moved her wheelchair closer and struggled to get up with her numb body holding tightly the side railings of Jaime’s bed then she kissed her forehead with her wet eyes closed.

She silently prayed that her mom would not feel pain anymore as she gently wiped her mom’s tears.

“Don’t worry mom. I will not leave you. Please stay alive. I love you.” Remembering the suffering of her mom, she could not help but shed tears too.
