Chapter 222 Having Her Accompany Mom
After Annabelle returned from Yarwood, she did not stay long in Juxshire and departed to Southeast Region with Yvette. She went to several countries within half a month and only learned about Zachary’s accident when she returned to the country.
She had been living in the Solace residence for several days.
Initially, she only wanted to go over to visit Zachary, but when she saw Winnie was worried sick and couldn’t eat or sleep well, she could not rest assured and planned to stay in the Solace residence to accompany Winnie for a few days.
Since Zachary returned from the hospital, Winnie talked to him every afternoon. Even if he could not respond, she still insisted on chatting with him.
While accompanying Winnie, Annabelle shared with Zachary the exciting things she encountered during her
trips.
What the senior needed was nothing more than companionship and confiding.
It was understandable for Winnie to adore Annabelle since the latter could chat with the seniors patiently, teaching them what was trending for the youngsters nowadays, and she was very good at cheering them up. Naturally, she was likable.
Winnie’s mood improved significantly with Annabelle accompanying her recently.
When Yuliana arrived, Joyce picked her up and said, “The atmosphere at home has been dull since Dad’s accident. Even Alex has been much quieter now. The house only became a little livelier with
Annabelle around.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Before going over, Yuliana had contacted Joyce, and the latter told her about Annabelle staying in the Solace residence.
Although Joyce’s job was not as busy as Kendrick’s and Layla’s, she still had routine work to deal with every day and couldn’t stay with Winnie at all times. Besides, Joyce had a different temperament from Annabelle and was not good at making Winnie happy like Annabelle.
Having Annabelle accompany Winnie made Joyce feel at ease.
Yuliana knew what Joyce meant.
Joyce was afraid that Yuliana might feel uncomfortable when she saw Annabelle and thus specifically explained the situation to her.
Yuliana was no saint and could not bring herself to not mind at all.
However, she was not selfish to the extent she wanted everyone related to Christopher to stay away from Annabelle as well.
Moreover, the Solace family and Christopher did owe Annabelle great kindness, and Annabelle was considered to have grown up in the Solace residence. Naturally, her relationship with the Solace family was unique. As such, Yuliana was relatively calm when she heard Annabelle had been in the Solace residence recently.
She smiled and said, “It’s good to have her accompanying Mom.”
Upon hearing that, Joyce looked at Yuliana and said, “Yuliana, I really don’t know whether to say you’re generous or stupid.”
In truth, Joyce had also experienced similar things before.
When she had just married Kendrick, there were always women who had affairs with Kendrick before marriage arriving in the Solace residence. At that time, Winnie was quite dissatisfied with her and felt she could barely hold up the position and the temperament as the matriarch of the Solace family.
Winnie was particularly fond of the daughters of prestigious families. One of them had even been with Kendrick for some time.
It was because of her experience that Joyce understood that feeling. She couldn’t help but feel sorrier for Yuliana
Not to mention, Annabelle was different from the daughters of prestigious families.
Yuliana pursed her lips and smiled. “Joyce, I’m neither generous nor stupid. Instead, I know there are things that I can’t change. Unless I break things off with Christopher, I have to accept Annabelle’s existence.”
She looked at Joyce and said, “But I don’t want to break things off with Christopher.” Even so, she did not want to put up with it, making herself feel wronged.
Therefore, the best way was to adjust her emotions and make herself not care too much about others. All she wanted was Christopher. She couldn’t care less about anything else as long as Annabelle did not cross the boundary.
Momentarily stunned, Joyce thought about Yuliana’s words carefully. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said with a smile, “Yuliana, it’s Christopher’s blessing to have you as his wife.”
Yuliana followed Joyce to visit Zachary,
Right after the door opened, they heard Annabelle whispering to Winnie. Her light and amusing tone was very contagious. Even Winnie was smiling.
Annabelle heard the noise and glanced at the door. Seeing Joyce and Yuliana coming in, she swept her gaze across Joyce and met Yuliana’s eyes.
“Mom, Yuliana is here,” Joyce said with a smile.
Winnie only noticed someone coming into the room when she heard Joyce’s voice. She turned around and smiled gently at Yuliana, reaching out her hand at her. “You are here.”
Yuliana stepped forward to hold Winnie’s hand. She took a look at Zachary in the bed and asked, “How’s Dad these days?”
“As usual.” Winnie heaved a sigh.
Yuliana said, “Give it some time. I’ve been searching online for some cases of coma after brain injury
recently. In fact, there are still many cases of recovery. Dad is getting older, and his self-repair ability will be slower. It will take some time.”
“Really?” Winnie’s eyes lit up instantly.
Yuliana nodded. “Yes. It’s true.”
She had read a lot of information and cases and had previously talked to the doctor in the hospital. There was still a possibility for Zachary to wake up. It was just that the probability was low, according to Zachary’s test result at that time.
Doctors were very cautious in that regard. Without great confidence, they dared not give patients and their families too much hope.
Winnie was overwhelmed by Yuliana’s words and held Yuliana’s hand tightly with an excited smile. She then looked at Zachary in the bed and said, “Zachary, did you hear that? You do have a chance to wake up. Come on, don’t leave me alone!”
Annabelle had mixed feelings when she saw the disappointment on Winnie’s face vanish and be replaced by confidence.
She had been trying every means to cheer Winnie up in the past few days. Although Winnie’s mood had indeed improved, it was only temporary. She would fall into despair again whenever she saw Zachary lying quietly in bed.
Yet, Yuliana had rekindled Winnie’s confidence with just a few words.
Annabelle sat for a while and went out
Yuliana chatted with Winnie for a while in the room and then shared with the latter the cases she had found online and also some nursing knowledge.
It took Yuliana a lot of time and effort to gather the information.
Since some of them were foreign cases written in Uprian, Yuliana was worried that Winnie might not be able to understand them, so she translated them into Clusian. She would check the information online and make a note if she did not understand the terminology.
Winnie naturally paid attention and listened carefully since it was related to Zachary.
Yuliana was not sure if it would work. Seeing Kendrick hire a family doctor and a nurse while she herself was not contributing anything, she hoped the materials she found would be helpful.
After Yuliana was done explaining, Winnie was very grateful to her. She patted the back of Yuliana’s hand. “Yuliana, thank you!”
Yuliana said with a smile, “Well, I can’t help with anything besides looking up some information.”
