Chapter 333 Extra Story Lucky Or Cursed (Part Two)


    But it was not until she saw the news on the TV that she realized how much she was hoping for


    nothing. She was daydreaming like any other girl hoping for a prince charming!


    "This morning, the Public Rtions Department of GM posted a press release on their official


    website that Mr. Barry Gu, the CEO of GM in China, will soon tie the knot with Miss Mary Lu, a


    manager from the samepany.


    On cue with the report, Sh raised her head and stared at the screen. And instantly, everything


    she had hoped for crumbled and vanished. Her heart was broken into pieces, and her eyes were


    filled with tears as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.


    ''Barry Gu, you know Ray is your son, but you never came to see him again since that day. Instead,


    you are in a hurry to get married. That''s right, Ray is just a trouble for you. He is just my son after


    all.


    I wish you a happy wedding, Barry Gu!'' Sh thought bitterly. The longer she dwelled on that


    reality, the heavier her heart got. It was as if a hammer had been endlessly pounding on it.


    "He will get married in a few days," Jaime stated, his eyes were also glued on the TV. "I''m going out


    of town for a few days. Would you like toe with me to unwind? We can get back after the


    wedding?" he offered, now looking cautiously at Sh.


    Thetter scratched her fingers uneasily. Before she could say anything, Jaime continued,


    "Anyway, thepany''s business has been suspended recently, and you don''t have to shoot for the


    time being, " he informed, pulling up his eyesses. "Everyone is busy with the CEO''s wedding,


    and they will all attend it."


    After realizing what her agent was up to, Sh shed him a bitter smile and joked, "Are you


    comforting me? Jamie, my dear agent, I feel like you are adding salt to my wound." Everyone was


    busy with the wedding. No one would even remember or search for Sh.


    ''Tm really doing this for your own good." Looking at her reaction, Jaime felt at a loss. "I have no


    trouble in dealing with and answering questions from the media, but I can''t always seem to make


    myself understood when talking to you. Come on, Sh. Join me on this vacation."


    "Thank you, Jaime. I appreciate it. But, I want to devote all my free time taking care of Ray. My son


    needs me now more than ever. That morning, when you said you like me, I was really ttered. But


    I’m sorry, Jaime. I can ’t return your feelings." Sh lowered her head after saying those words.


    "It''s alright. Maybe you just haven''t given up on him yet. As for my trip invitation, I''ll wait for your


    decision." Without waiting for Sh''s answer, Jaime stood from his seat and said, "I have


    something else to do. I have to go now."


    "You..." Looking at his back, Sh drew out a heavy sigh. Out of town trip? Could she really leave?


    The news of the marriage spread all over the newspapers and magazines. Sh felt so empty, like


    living a dead life. She couldn''t avoid the news when everyone was practically talking about it.


    "Ray, the stitches are going to be removed today. Are you happy?" The nurse''s question brought


    Sh back to her senses.


    "Yes! I''m so happy!" Ray was so excited that he almost jumped up on the bed. "Will my eyes


    recover totally after removing the stitches? I wouldn''t go blind again, would I?" "Yes, Ray, you will be


    a healthy child once you''re out of the operating room!"


    "Mom, aren''t you happy?" Noticing that her mother kept to herself in one corner, Ray worriedly


    shifted his attention to her.


    "Of course, I''m happy, honey!" Sh hastily waved her hand. Then, smiling widely at her son, she


    added, "When you recover, how about I take you on a trip?"


    "That''s awesome! But where are we going? And are we going alone?" Ray asked after pping his


    hands excitingly.


    "Yes, only Mommy and Ray."


    "Knock. Knock. Knock."


    While they were talking, a sudden knock sounded on the door.


    "Come in, please!"


    Barry pushed the door open and walked in, with paper bags filled with toys and snacks. For a


    moment, he nced at Sh, evidently lost in thought.


    He hadn''t seen Sh for only a few days, but did it seem like she had lost some weight again?


    "You..." At the mere sight of him, Sh''s body tightened in an instant. Her eyes, which keenly


    stared at him, were utterly bloodshot. "Mr. Gu? What are you doing here?" she asked nervously, her


    heart was pounding violently in her chest.


    "I''m here to see Ray," Barry answered as he walked towards the bed.


    "Hello, Uncle Barry!" Hearing Barry''s voice, Ray jumped out of bed excitedly.


    "Watch out!" Immediately, Barry held the little boy for support. And as he looked at the kid, his eyes,


    too, were bloodshot. He couldn''t believe that Ray was his son! He was holding his son right now!


    "I''m fine, Uncle Barry!" Ray shook his head with a smile and asked, "Are those gifts for me?"


    "Yes, of course." Barry nodded with a grin and quickly put the things on the bed.


    "Uncle Barry, it''s so lovely of you! I have only received gifts from my mom before! Thank you so


    much!" Ray sat on the bed happily and began rummaging the two sacks of snacks and toys.


    Meanwhile, Barry couldn''t help feeling a tinge in his heart as he watched the boy. He had known


    that Ray had suffered a lot with Sh in the past few years, especially for his eye disease. But this


    was his son! He deserved the best in the world!


    "Ray, is everything all right with your eyes? Do you feel ufortable somewhere?" he asked


    worriedly, carefully examining his son''s eyes without being too invasive.


    "Mommy said that I''ll recover after the stitches are removed!" The kid raised his head and smiled,


    now holding the Transformer in his hand.


    At this point, Barry couldn''t help touching his little head, feeling extraordinarily sorry and guilty for


    his son.


    He spent thest three days, profoundly thinking about his circumstance—whether he would


    choose his son or Mary. But in the end, he still decided to choose Mary. But once the wedding was


    over, he swore to take care of Ray and give him the best things in life! He would never leave his son


    alone!


    "Ray," the nurse suddenly said, "it''s time to remove the stitches. Are you ready?" ''Yes!" The young


    boy nodded and turned to his mother.


    "Mommy, will you wait for me?" "Yes, honey. It won''t take long. Mommy will wait for you here," Sh


    answered, shing him a soft smile.


    "Okay!" Ray smiled happily, "Uncle Barry, I will be back soon! Please wait for me too!"


    After his cheerful words, the nurse then led him away.


    As soon as the boy left, an awkward silence immediately filled the room.


    Barry didn''t know how to face Sh, and thetter knew of it very well. And with every second they


    remained quiet, the air inside only became thicker.


    "How are you doingtely?" Barry was the first one to break the silence. He suddenly remembered


    the withered flowers on the balcony of his bedroom.


    "Not bad." Sh cursed herself in her heart after realizing how pathetic her answer was. But in all


    honesty, she felt extremely warm when Barry greeted her even with just a few simple words.


    "Has Ray asked who his father is?" Barry suddenly asked softly.


    And this question made Sh''s nose twitch while her throat suddenly turned stuffy. "Yes, he has."


    "What did you tell him?" Although his brows were tightly knitted together, a hint of anticipation was


    highly evident on Barry''s face.


    "I said that his father has gone to work in a ce far away. He won''te back until Ray grows up."


    Sh sobbed as soon as she revealed those words.


    Meanwhile, Barry clenched his fists and wanted tosh out, but he didn''t know whom to lose his


    temper too. It wasn''t Sh''s fault, nor his back then. But if he wouldn''t take care of Ray in the future


    after learning that he was his flesh and blood, then it would be his fault.


    More than that, the woman in front of him was the one he slept with seven years ago. Fate was so


    naughty!


    Barry suddenly searched his suit pocket and took out a red invitation card. "This is for you," he said,


    handing it to Sh.


    Sh understood what it was right away, and even though something sharp flickered in her heart,


    she bravely took it with her trembling hands.


    ''Did Barrye here to give me this invitation while making it seem like he was visiting his son?


    How cruel he is!''


    "It''s a wedding invitation," Barry said and swallowed. He wanted to sound casual, but he didn''t


    expect this to be so hard. "Sorry for the short notice. If you have time, you are more than wee


    to attend the ceremony."


    Although the card was thin and light, Sh felt it weighed a thousand pounds. Even her hands


    couldn''t seem to grasp it properly. "Congrattions!" she finally managed to say after hesitating for


    some time.


    "Thanks," Barry replied indifferently. He looked up at Sh, only to find that she seemed to be


    crying. "Hey, are you crying?"


    Sh''s heart sank after hearing his question. She shook her head firmly and prepared to leave the


    room.


    "Where are you going? Hey, stop!" Barry grabbed her arm, forcing her to raise her head. "Why are


    you crying?" he asked again.


    ''She’s acting really strange today,’ Barry thought, feeling even more entric watching her actions.


    Sh stopped all of a sudden, and tears began gushing out of her eyes like a stream of water.


    ''Barry Gu! You bastard! I hate you! I hate you the most in the world!'' she thought in her mind.


    "Do you like me?" he asked, frowning. He had thought that Sh would me him for forcing her to


    be his woman.


    At this point, all Sh wanted was to vent all her grievances and resentment in the past few days.


    "Who do you think you are? Why would I like you? Huh? You''re getting married! Why did youe


    to see Ray anyway? Please leave! Go! Ray doesn''t deserve a father like you!"


    It was an understatement to say that those words shocked Barry. In fact, it dawned on him with a


    big bang, making him instantly furious.


    He tightened his grip on Sh''s arm and asked firmly, "What did you say? Father? So, you know


    everything? How did you know that Ray is my son? You already knew it a long time ago, didn''t you?


    Tell me!"


    "I..." Sh wanted to say something but her pale face exposed how hurt she was at that moment.


    How foolish of her to let her emotions rule her mind!


    "Why don''t you say anything?" Barry''s eyes turned red. "You colluded with that agent named Jerry


    to ckmail me, didn''t you? Sh Shen!"


    "No, I didn''t!" Sh yelled back, shaking her head firmly. "I just knew it not long ago! I heard the


    conversation between you and Jerry that day..."


    "What? That''s ridiculous!" Barry seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of anger. He


    suppressed Sh and roared, "I didn''t know that I had a six-year-old son, and you hid him from me!


    You made me the biggest fool in the world!"


    Sh bit her lips to hold back her tears. "I didn''t know, Barry! I just knew..."


    "Sh, my son has suffered so much without me," Barry uttered with so much pain. He then pushed


    her away at once and added, "I will definitely give him the best life in the future!"


    "You... But you are getting married!" Sh was stunned, not knowing what he meant.


    "Yes, I am going to get married." Barry nodded, "After I get married, I will take Ray in. He is my son,


    and his surname is Gu! I won''t let him suffer with you anymore!"


    "You want to take Ray away from me? 11 Sh’s eyes widened in shock. A lump had suddenly


    seemed to have found its way on her throat.

    "I am taking him away." Barry''s voice was utterly cold. His lips were pressed into a grim line while


    his eyes glinted with so much anger.


    "No!" Hearing this, Sh hurried to grab Barry''s arm and begged, "You can''t do this! No, please! I


    wouldn''t let you do that! Ray is my son. I only have him!


    Please don''t take him away from me!" "I didn''t do anything wrong!" Barry''s voice thundered in the


    entire ward. "A woman appeared in my room seven years ago while I was drunk. And then, I got a


    son. Seven years! You have raised him all those years without saying anything to me! I knew


    nothing of him, Sh! Do you think I will be willing to go on like this? He is my son! Ray is a Gu!


    The two days before my wedding will be thest time you spend time with Ray! Cherish thosest


    moments!"


    And with those icy, cold words, Barry strode away, leaving Sh in utter misery.


    "Woo...Woo..." With tears endlessly flowing on her cheeks, Sh slumped and curled onto the bed,


    feeling utterly defeated and hopeless.
