The call was quickly connected.
“Auntie, I’m Layla.” Although Layla called Eric uncle before, she always called Mrs. Santos auntie.
Because Mrs. Santos was very beautiful. Even though she was old, she was charm.
Every time Layla went to Eric’s house and called Mrs. Santos auntie, she would not call Eric uncle, but just call him by his name.
If it was normal, Mrs. Santos would definitely be very enthusiastic and happy when she received a call from Layla.
But now, Eric had become like this, and she still didn’t know if the operation would be successful. Mrs. Santos’s heart was very heavy and sad.
Mrs. Santos didn’t have the energy and thought to force a smile on people.
After Mrs. Santos responded, Layla continued: “Auntie, I’m back in Aryadelle. I want to visit you and uncle tomorrow.”
Mrs. Santos hesitated, and then agreed.
“Then I won’t disturb your rest. See you tomorrow.” Layla finished talking on the phone and hung up.
Although Mrs. Santos didn’t blame Layla on the phone, Layla was already overwhelmed by guilt.
…..
Santos villa.
After talking on the phone with Layla, Mrs. Santos sat by the bed, weeping absentmindedly.
Mr. Santos took out a tissue and wiped his wife’s tears.
“Wife, don’t cry. It’s not Layla’s fault.” Mr. Santos sighed, “If our son didn’t have that kind of thought for Layla, could he be called to that place casually? It’s fate. Let’s accept our fate!”
Mrs. Santos: “I know this is fate… I don’t blame anyone… What right do I have to blame them? If Avery hadn’t rescued our son back then, Our son may have died long ago. He has lived for so many years, we are not at a loss.”
Mr. Santos nodded: “That’s the reason! And isn’t our son still dead? Isn’t Avery telling us about his situation every day? As long as he is not dead, there is still hope!”
Mrs. Santos leaned on her husband’s shoulder, said: “Why is our son so miserable! I feel sorry for him.”
Mr. Santos: “He’s not suffering. At least his career is going well. He told me that all the goals he wanted to achieve in his life have been achieved, even if he really passed away unfortunately, he shouldn’t be in pain.”
Mrs. Santos: “He is not in pain, but we are in pain!”
Mr. Santos pursed his lips and did not answer.
Although what Mr. Santos said was calm, why didn’t he feel pain in his heart?
The most painful thing in life was the loss of one’s mother in one’s early years and one’s son in one’s old age.
The next day, Mr. Santos and his wife went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables.
Because Layla said last night that she would come today, Mrs. Santos planned to cook for herself.
After Layla had breakfast, she drove here by herself.
After she got off the car, she took out the gift she had brought.
The door of the villa was always open.
When Mr. Santos saw Layla’s car stop, he immediately changed his shoes and came out to greet her.
