Chapter 225
Chapter 225
"Why does it have to be before he turns three years old?"
Coralie found it incomprehensible. If the cord blood could cure his disease, why would there be an age
restriction?
"There isn't much cord blood. When the child grows up, there wouldn't be enough cord blood to cure
him."
The doctor knew that Coralie had doubts, and thinking of Xenia's grandfather, she explained other
treatments to Coralie if she could not obtain the cord blood.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, it was the most ideal for Hendric to be cured with the cord
blood.
"I see, doctor. Thank you."
Coralie nodded.
When the doctor left, Coralie returned to the ward. After the treatment last night, Hendric vomited for a
while again just now. He was laying on the bed weakly, but he was delighted to see Coralie coming
over.
"Hendric, the doctor said that your illness has a cure. Can you hold on for a little while?"
Coralie held his little hand. If she had a choice, she really wanted to bear this pain for Hendric.
"Okay, Mommy, Hendric, no scared."
Due to his age, Hendric did not know much vocabulary, so he could only express his feelings with a few
words.
"Good boy. Mommy is going to leave now. I'll ask the nurse to play with you for a while, okay?"
Coralie glanced at the time and saw that it was nearing time for work to end.
She wanted to see if she could chance upon Skylar Holland. After all, Hendric's illness could no longer
be delayed.
"Okay, mommy."
Hendric nodded.
Usually, children at his age would throw a tantrum if this was to happen. They were all capricious, but
Hendric was so sensible that it would stir people's pity for him.
Coralie was about to leave when she saw that Hendric was sleepy, so she said, "Mommy will tell you a
story. I will leave after you fall asleep, okay?"
Hearing Coralie's words, Hendric immediately nodded happily, "Okay."
In his heart, he still hoped that Coralie would accompany him.
Coralie told Hendric the story of the animal castle.
In fact, she made up many of the stories herself. In the past, he liked listening to stories every night
when she coaxed him to sleep, but Coralie did not have enough money to buy him storybooks, so she
had to make up stories for him.
......
After Hendric fell asleep, Coralie went to Skyton Corporation.
Although Skyton Corporation had developed much all these years, the headquarters hadn't moved.
Coralie saw that the entrance was still the same as before. There were security guards at the door, and
there was a front desk inside. People could only enter the building by swiping their respective cards.
She was already a "dead person". If she came looking for Skylar in such a public place, she would
probably scare the others.
So Coralie sneaked along the entrance of the underground garage and into the B2 garage of Skyton
Corporation.
The garage on the B2 floor was for Skylar's exclusive use, there were not many cars parked on this
floor.
Coralie looked at her watch. Skylar should get off work in another ten minutes. She didn't know if Skylar
would work overtime, so she had to hide herself in a corner where she could clearly see the president's
elevator.
As the clock ticked, Coralie's heart trembled with it.
She had been apart from Skylar for more than two years. It would be the first time that they met each
other in two years, Coralie really did not know how Skylar would behave when he saw her.
After all, they had been completely separated from each other in the past two years.
He was a company's president, and she wouldn't even count as an ordinary married woman.
In fact, Coralie was more worried that if she proposed abruptly to have a baby with Skylar, the present
him might not agree to it.
It was finally the time to get off work.
The president's elevator opened as expected, but there were two people coming out from it...
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
In the quiet garage, Skylar's voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear.
When Coralie saw the two people coming down, she instinctively hid herself.
One of them was Skylar, and the other was the daughter of the head of Commercial Union, Sabella
Jakeman, whom she saw on Xenia Lowell's mobile phone.
Sabella had long hair, down to her waist, and was wearing a light blue dress. Although she was far
away from her, Coralie could see that she looked more gorgeous than the photos on the Internet.
"You decide," Sabella said softly. "Or, how about I cook something for you when we're back home?"
Hearing the word "back home", Coralie's heart ached. The unbearable pain came again.
"Okay."
Skylar said while he opened the passenger door for the woman, like a gentleman. He didn't get in the
car until she was seated.
Coralie squatted behind a car.
She watched as Skylar's car, the azure blue Aston Martin, left the underground garage.
When she was jolted back to her senses, her face was already covered in tears, and the pain in her
heart had almost shattered her.
Initially, she thought that she had let go of Skylar after so many years. The reality showed otherwise.
From the moment Coralie saw him, when she heard the other woman saying "back home" to him—
Coralie knew that she hadn't let go at all.
However, now, she had no time to care about these love affairs. Saving Hendric was her only purpose.
Coralie went out of the underground garage and took a bus back to the hospital. At this time, Hendric
had already woken up.
There was another person sitting beside his bed, playing with him.
"Xenia, why are you here?"
Coralie walked over and saw a lot of toys under Hendric's bed.
There were cars, transformer toys, and lego blocks.
Hendric was playing happily at first, but when he saw Coralie coming back, he immediately put down
the car in his hand and looked at Coralie with a questioning look. "Mommy?"
"Hendric, did you say thank you to Auntie Xenia? Auntie has given you so many toys."
Hendric knew that she was asking him.
"He thanked me! Aw, look how you have scared your little baby."
Xenia crossed her arms and pretended to scold Coralie.
"Thank you, Xenia. Your family has helped me so much."
Coralie looked at the toys and thanked Xenia sincerely. Hendric had never played with such
entertaining toys ever since he was born.
"Oh, don't thank me. My grandfather said that your bracelet is a precious thing. It was fortunate that
you had it." Xenia had always been a loud person. After thinking for a while, she said, "My grandfather
told me that the bracelet will be sold at the auction in a few days. Will you regret it? You won't be able
to take it back then even if you want to."
"I won't regret it. As long as I can save Hendric." Coralie shook her head and continued, "I'm just sorry
towards Grandmother Holland. After all, her hope when she gave me the bracelet at that time was so
that I could be the daughter-in-law of the Holland family."
"By the way, did you find Sky..."
Xenia was about to mention Skylar, but Coralie immediately gave her a wink and shut her up.
"Hendric, Mommy is going to talk about something with Auntie Xenia outside. Can you stay here alone
for a while?"
"Okay." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hendric nodded sensibly.
When Coralie pulled Xenia out from the ward, she told her everything she saw in the garage.
"No way. It has only been two years."
Xenia felt indignant when she heard Coralie's words.
"I don't blame him. I was the one who chose to deceive him. To be honest, I also hope that he doesn't
know about me being alive. He is now with someone else, I don't want to disturb his life."
Coralie didn't blame Skylar at all. She could not blame anyone for anything.
It was all her choice.
