Chapter 1249


    But his little body was trembling violently.


    He made a resolution.


    Under no circumstances would he let his parents divorce. He would never let that happen!


    He was making his mother a promise only because he didn''t want her to be upset.


    After a nce at her wristwatch, Eileen said, "Well, there''s something I need to attend to. I''ll take


    you to Kirsten''s ce first.”


    Brad asked, "Can''t I go with you?"


    Eileen shook her head.


    Therefore, Brad didn''t persist with his


    questioning.


    Eileen hailed a taxi and the two of them ducked into it.


    Sitting in the back seat, Eileen kept having a feeling of constriction in the chest, which made it


    difficult for her to breathe. She didn’t know whether it was because the driver was driving very fast


    and braking frequently or because she was too tired.


    Clutching her chest, Eileen lowered the car window to let in some fresh air.


    However, her suffocating feeling worsened instead of disappearing.


    Her face was bloodless, and even her lips were ghastly white.


    The driver inadvertently glimpsed Eileen''s face as his eyes raked the rear-view mirror. Taken aback,


    he said concernedly," You don''t look well, Miss. Would you like m e to drive you to a hospital?"


    She shook her head and replied with a forced smile, "No, thanks. I think I just ate something bad."


    The driver tossed her another nce.


    She did look terrible. It was unlikely to be because she had eaten something bad.


    But as his fare had put it that way, the driver could see no gracious way to say anything else about


    it.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at the residentialmunity.


    Brad was the first to open the car door and step out.


    Eileen followed Brad closely.


    Hardly had she gotten out of the car than her stomach began to churn.


    She hurried to the garbage can and started t o vomit.


    Brad was rather apprehensive. "What''s happening to you, Mom?"


    "Stay ... Stay back..." Eileen reached out her hand to keep him from approaching, still vomiting


    badly.


    "Mom, wait here for me. I''ll be right back."


    Brad had barely finished speaking than he ran off and disappeared from view.


    Eileen was very worried about him, but she was too feeble to do anything about it. Bent double, she


    kept throwing up.


    Such was her nausea that she nearly vomited up gastric acid.


    Suddenly, she felt something with a salty metal tang surging to her throat.


    She lowered her head.


    To her rm, there was a shade of scarlet: n her vomitus.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    That was ... her blood.


    Eileen began to shudder violently like a fallen tree leaf in a gust of wind.


    She stared vacantly at the trace of blood


    It was the sound of approaching footsteps that jerked her out of her trance.


    With a sheen of sweat over his forehead, Brad meekly handed a bottle of water to her. "Mom."


    "Thanks."


    Eileen took a few sips of water to rinse the taste out of her mouth.


    Then she struggled to her feet.


    But...


    Scarcely had she straightened herself when her head suddenly began to swim. She buckled at the


    knees, cked out and keeled over, rigid as a board.


    All she saw before losing her consciousness was Brad’s pale face, and she heard his exmation


    of rm.
