Chapter 948 - 009 comes back for her_3
"Nelson Castillo, how is Bernard Taylor doing?" Nancy Sallow asked Nelson Castillo with a smile.
"Oh, Auntie, there’s nothing serious anymore, but from now on, he needs to be careful with his alcohol consumption when socializing. Bernard’s body isn’t really suited for that kind of activity." That was also what Nelson Castillo had advised Bernard when he was about to leave the Hospital to return to business. Both Bernard’s health and his temperament weren’t quite right for conducting business.
At that time, Bernard couldn’t be persuaded. He went back anyway, to be the dutiful son and take over the family business.
"I understand, I’ll have a proper talk with his father," Nancy Sallow said as she looked at her son’s pale face and then at the leftover Plain Congee in his bowl. She had made tasty Chicken Soup for him, but it seemed that Plain Congee suited her son better.
When exactly had the tacit understanding between mother and son started to disappear? She even felt that she was less of a mother to him than a stranger.
Despite having only this one son, despite him being her own flesh and blood, despite loving him to her very core, she felt that she wasn’t receiving the mother-son relationship she desired.
"Alright, then I’ll head out first," Nelson Castillo nodded, said to Nancy Sallow, and left.
Now alone in the room with just the two of them, Nancy Sallow looked at Bernard Taylor, and he glanced back at Nancy Sallow before quickly averting his gaze. Sometimes, he didn’t know what to say to her either.
The oppressive atmosphere made Nancy Sallow feel somewhat suffocated. She was the first to break the silence, "Bernard, can we, mother and son, not return to how we were in the past?"
