Chapter 298: Surprise?
"And you go get me this and this and this...."
Mother Lu turned to Liam as if remembering that this other son of hers existed, as she immediately handed some instructions for him to comply and take care of making the man nod as he replied before leaving Ryan, who was busy standing looking offended, but one glare from his mother immediately made him go to the apple tree as he started plucking the apples, grumbling from time to time.
Looking at her two sons, who immediately got to work, Mother Lu looked satisfied as she went towards the sofa where Jane was busy breastfeeding the kids, intending to help her daughter with anything she thinks that she would need help with.
Alongside that, she started inquiring about her health, what she felt, and if she was okay with her letting the rest of them know that she was awake.
"Well, I was planning to let everyone know that I am awake, but uh, you came in suddenly. So I guess apart from Ryan and Liam and you, others are yet to know of my awakening. But we had planned to actually inform them maybe later on or tomorrow."
"Hmm, that’s good. The rest will be really excited because we have missed your presence so much. Like nothing is normal without you around, my dear."
"And of course, the one who experienced the biggest blow is your husband."
"Speaking of husband, I was not able to ask him himself because I know he was going to hide some things from me, but how exactly was he during these past nine months?"
Jane casually and cautiously asked her mother as she maintained eye contact with her, intending to get out each and every reaction from her mother, not wanting her to lie to her.
"Well...as I said, your man had the whole situation harder than us since Liam completely detached himself from us, we couldn’t even call or I couldn’t even treat him like I used to treat him before the accident happened. Liam became so cold that we as his family had to be cautious around him."
"He only visited us once as we were having a reunion or just a meal, and the man left in between the meal and I could guess...I mean, I could understand him because everyone else had come with their kids and their women of course he would feel so left out because he was struggling to raise the twins, at the same time struggling to cope up with the fact that he was not going to see or hear from you for we don’t know for how long, well.. until you wake up, that is."
