HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 32: Don't Cry

Estelle gritted her teeth and said, “I can do anything for you.” The man sneered, “What if I ask you to sleep with me?” Estelle was astonished. She clenched the quilt tightly, trembling all over. “I’m willing to do anything for my son,” She said firmly. “You are really a great mother,” The man said. Estelle couldn’t tell whether he was praising her or satirizing her. She didn’t think too much and continued, “Anyway, Yohan has nothing to do with Cristofer. Cristofer has taken away my daughter. I won’t let him take my son away from me.” “It’s time to sleep. Good night,” The man said tonelessly. “Sir, you will keep it a secret for me, won’t you?” “It depends on your performance,” The man retorted, “You should know why I decided to help you. As long as you stay by my side obediently, I won’t do anything bad for you.” Estelle nodded and asked, “How long do I need to stay by your side?” “Just stay by my side until I’m tired of you,” The man uttered seriously. “Then do I need to behave or speak in the same way as your old friend?” Estelle was curious about his answer. Hearing that, the man chuckled. “Estelle, you are so dedicated to your... ‘job’.” Estelle was a little embarrassed. “Since I got so much money from you, I think that I should do what I should do well. Does your old friend look like me? What does she like to do? What does she like to eat?” “Estelle,” The man said, reaching out and covering her eyes. “Sleep.” **** Estelle didn’t wake up until the next noon. When she woke up, she felt a dull pain in the incision on her chest. The mysterious man had left. Estelle rubbed her aching temples and got up. Then she saw a glass of water on the table, under which there was a note.

Remember to take the medicine. Don’t swallow it directly. When Estelle picked up the glass, she found that the water was still warm. How did he know that I swallowed the medicine without drinking water yesterday? She wondered. After taking the painkiller and washing up quickly, she rushed to the hospital. In the intensive care unit, Aurora was put on an intravenous drip. She was in better condition, and her face was not as pale as before. “Estelle, why did you come here again?” She asked when Estelle came in. Estelle walked over and held her hand, saying, “I’m your only daughter. How can I leave you alone here?” Aurora gently patted the back of Estelle’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about me. The doctors and nurses here are very responsible. They will take care of me. You should spend more time with Cristofer and your child. You don’t have to come here every day.” “But I miss you every day,” Estelle gently ran her fingers through her Mom’s hair. Hearing that, Aurora couldn’t help smiling. “By the way, I just remembered something that I forgot to remind you of yesterday. You’d better breastfeed the baby. And don’t eat snacks or unhealthy food anymore, got it? Eating them during the lactation period is not good for the baby’s health.” “Got it.” Estelle smiled and nodded. She thought helplessly, I want to breastfeed Yvonne. But I can’t do it because Cristofer took her away. Back then, because of Yohan’ septicemia, I hurriedly came back from abroad not long after he was born, so I didn’t breastfeed Yohan either. Thinking of this, Estelle sighed. She always felt that she owed too much to her two children. Aurora continued talking, “Besides, don’t eat too much ice cream and any other cold foods. I used to remind you before, but you barely listened to me. It’s not good for your health. I’ve told you about it countless times, but you never bother to pay attention. Estelle, I know you’ve liked to eat cold food since you were a child, but for the sake of the baby and your health, you’d better restrain yourself from having them. When the baby is weaned, you can eat whatever you want. And once I’m cured, I promise to cook all your favorite foods and....” Aurora was stunned and quickly choked back her words when she saw her daughter’s tears. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She instantly extended her hands, caressing Estelle’s cheek, “Estelle, why are you crying?” “I’m so sad at the thought that I won’t be able to eat ice cream for a long time,” Estelle sniffed and joked deliberately to ease the tension. “You greedy gut!” Aurora chuckled and said, “Don’t cry. How are you getting along with Cristofer? Alas. It was your father’s drunk driving that caused the car accident. And both the Hans family and our family are the victims of this tragedy. I have always been worried that Cristofer would have a grudge against you because of the car accident. But it seems that my worry is unnecessary. And I was very moved and gratified that Cristofer came to visit me yesterday. I hope you two can live a happy life. You must treat him better in the future, will you?” “Okay, Mom.” She nodded in agreement. “By the way, how many babies will you have with Cristofer?” Estelle was a little embarrassed, “I don’t know. We have never talked about it.” “It will be best if you can have three children. If you have more children, your family will be more lively. Don’t worry. When I recover, I will help you look after the children, so you and Cristofer can still spend time together.” Hearing that, Estelle couldn’t help but feel sadder and burst into tears. “Mom, don’t worry about me. I’ve grown up and can handle everything by myself. I just want you to live a peaceful and enjoyable life.” Aurora smiled sadly, “I know you’ve grown up. But you’re my only daughter, so I always worry about you and want to do something for you. Don’t cry, Estelle. Listen to me. You don’t need to come here every day. Spend more time with Cristofer and your children.” Then she suddenly thought of Estelle’s father and continued, “If your father knew that you had children, he would weep tears of joy in heaven. I remember that the day you married Cristofer, he was so happy that he cried for a long time.” At the mention of her father, Estelle felt sadder, and she sobbed with her face wet with tears. Then she joked while wiping her tears, “Really? I might have laughed at him if I had known about it earlier.” “Your father loves you the most,” Aurora held her daughter’s hands while reminiscing about the

past. “When you were about to get married, he thought for a long time about what he should give you as a gift. He always wanted to give you the best. He thought that money and a house were not enough to express his love for you, so he transferred some company shares to you. He said that he would work hard and make a lot of money for you and his grandchildren so you can live a good life.” “Mom, let’s not talk about it,” Estelle couldn’t stop crying. The rims of Aurora’s eyes also turned red, and she said, “Well, let’s stop talking about it. Estelle, when the baby grows up, you may take her with you to visit your father’s tomb.” Estelle nodded. “I will.”
