Chapter 918 Mummy
Harry's POV:
After disconnecting the call, Joanna came closer to me with a calm expression and said, "The boy's mother just called."
She studied the little boy on the bed, who was still unconscious, and frowned slightly, seeming to be slightly worried.
The little boy was very cute, but right now, his entire body was wrapped in gauze and he looked like a mummy, which emphasized just how badly he was injured.
I couldn't help but grumble, "The kid's parents are so irresponsible. How could they leave a kid out there alone? If we hadn't happened to pass by at the right time, he would have surely died. When his parents arrive here, we must make them promise that this can't happen again."
"This child's mother said that he had sneaked out. His mother didn't know about it before, and they belong to the border pack. The border is far from here. No one would expect their kids to secretly follow them," Joanna glanced at me and said softly.
I scoffed, not believing the mother's reason. "She is just making an excuse. Even if she's telling the truth, that only makes her a terrible mother! I mean it's a kid, not a hamster. How could his mother not notice that he was following her? It is a long journey, so she should have brought her kid with her anyway! It must have taken her at least ten days to get here and get back. How could she stay away from her kid for so long? I will definitely not do such a thing!"
When I would become a father, I would take my children with me everywhere. I wouldn't leave them at home.
The boy lying in bed looked to be only four or five years old, but he was determined and brave.
Joanna didn't respond. She tugged her hand out of mine and sat on the edge of the bed to tuck the little boy in.
I also got my indignation under control and silently watched Joanna fuss over the little boy. She was very gentle now, not as cold as she was in front of others.
My heart twitched and I felt a little sad.
Five years ago, when Sylvia just left, everyone in the empire labeled her a traitor.
I knew the truth, but couldn't reveal it. After she left, our team never came together again. It felt like Sylvia had disappeared from this world.
It was like a sudden storm blowing a tray of sand away. We couldn't go back to where we used to be anymore.
All of our friends began their new lives. Some worked harder and some got married.
I had no reason to stay in the capital, so I went back to my pack.
I was depressed for a long time. During those dark days, Joanna had stayed by my side.
We fell in love with each other, slept with each other, and did all the activities a couple would do. But Joanna didn't agree to marry me.
I was troubled for a long time and tried numerous tactics to get her to agree. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
But her stance was firm. She just refused to get married.
She even once told me that if marriage was really so important to me, she could break up with me so I could find someone else to marry. Her words baffled me to the extent that I even started wondering if she really loved me.
But when we were together, I could sense that she really loved me.
She was willing to do many things for me, but she didn't want to marry me.
So I began to reflect on myself. Was it because I was too terrible that she didn't want to marry me?
It was only when we had gone for a routine physical examination that I learned she had been drugged by Noreen since childhood, leaving her unable to bear children.
Joanna was steadfast in refusing to marry me because she didn't want me to waste my time on a woman who couldn't give me any children.
