Chapter 1410


    Lawrie had been in poor health all this while. Now that he was having a fever, Vanessa couldn''t care


    about anything else anymore. She must see him now. If she could, she really wished that she could


    grow a pair of wings and fly to Lawrie immediately.


    For some reasons, Vanessa did not dare to let Lawrie stay by her side. She did not even dare let


    Lawrie live in Chatterton Town. In desperation, she had to entrust Lawrie to a trustworthy nursery in


    Hogward City, a city located next to Chatterton Town. After getting together with Julien, Vanessa did


    not even dare to visit Lawrie often, nor did she dare call Lawrie on the phone.


    Although Lawrie''s birth was thest thing Vanessa wanted to talk about, Lawrie was still her baby


    whom she carried for nine months. Her love for Lawrie was no less than any other mother''s love for


    their child.


    Vanessa''s mother had passed away and her father would only listen to her stepmother, Fiona.


    Lawrie was the only person Vanessa cared for, and he was her only emotional support. She must


    not let anything happen to her baby...


    As long as she was given some more time, she would then have enough money to cure Lawrie''s


    illness. By then, everything would change. Vanessa believed that everything would definitely


    change.


    Before this, Vanessa would go to Hogward City to apany Lawrie every weekend. However,


    Julien''s sudden arrival the night before messed up her n. She was worried that he woulde


    over again that day, so she did not dare to go out. She was afraid that she wouldn''t know what to


    say if he were to ask her where she went.


    The thought of Lawrie being sick broke Vanessa''s heart. She no longer cared if someone would find


    out that she had a child, and rushed to Hogward City as fast as she could.


    When she arrived at where Lawrie was temporarily living in, Vanessa saw Lawrie, who she had not


    seen for a week, lying in the bed with a ruddy face. He should be living a carefree life at this age,


    but he was frowning because he couldn''t see his mother.


    At the sight of Vanessa, Winnie felt immensely guilty. "Vanessa, Lawrie''s appetite hasn''t been good


    these two days. He has been asking for you, but I didn''t dare call you and that''s why he has a


    fever."


    "No, it''s not your fault, Miss Zir. You can go ahead with whatever you need to do. I''ll stay here


    with Lawrie for the next two days." Vanessa came to the side of the bed and held Lawrie''s little hand


    in her palm. "I''m sorry, Baby! I''m really sorry! I shouldn''t have left you so far away by yourself."


    "Mommy..." When he heard Vanessa''s voice, Lawrie slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that the


    person who was calling him was really his mother, he blinked and immediately threw himself into


    Vanessa''s arms. "Mommy... Boohoo..."


    As she held her sobbing son in her arms, Vanessa felt so distressed that her heart was convulsing.


    "Okay, okay. Mommy''s here."


    Lawrie was three years old, born to Vanessa when she was turned twenty. She was now twenty-


    three... It had been three years...


    Lawrie''s eyes were brimming with tears. He pouted his tiny mouth and said pitifully, "Mommy, don''t


    leave me behind. I''ll be a good boy. I''ll be a very good boy. I''ll listen to everything you say."


    Seeing that Lawrie was crying so piteously, Vanessa was distressed to the point that she started


    shedding tears. She kissed Lawrie''s face and said, "Baby, you''ve always been a good boy. You''re


    the most adorable baby in the world. It''s all my fault. It''s because I''m not capable enough to let you


    stay by my side."


    If she was more capable, and if she could make enough money through other means, then she and


    Lawrie would not have to stay apart from each other. Then, it would not be so difficult for them to


    meet each other.


    "Mommy, you are also a good Mommy... the best Mommy. I love you, Mommy." As a three year old,


    Lawrie had a limited vocabry, but he still did well at expressing himself.


    "Yes, we are both good!" Vanessa held Lawrie in her arms, pinched him, kissed him, and pinched


    him again, and kissed him over and over again. "Well, it seems like my baby has grown a lot taller."


    Lawrie squirmed in Vanessa''s arms, and rubbed his face against her chest, "Mommy..."


    Vanessa kissed him on the cheek. "What''s the matter, Baby?"


    Lawrie cuddled in Vanessa''s arms again. "I want you. I want you to sleep with me. I want you to stay


    with me forever."


    Vanessa once again couldn''t help kissing her lovely son. "Okay, I''ll apany you to sleep today."


    Lawrie blinked his eyes. "I want to sleep with you, forever and ever."


    Lawrie was not very eloquent, but Vanessa still understood what he meant. He wanted his mother to


    stay with him forever, not just for the next two nights... "Baby..."


    Vanessa understood this very humble wish, but she couldn''t promise Lawrie. Although Lawrie was


    young, he probably understood what she was saying. No matter what, Vanessa knew that she


    mustn''t lie to him. She mustn''t give him hope and let him down when she could not keep her


    promise.


    Seeing the hesitating look on Vanessa''s face, Lawrie once again threw himself into Vanessa''s arms


    and said, "I want to be with you forever."


    Vanessa knew that she couldn''t stay with Lawrie all the time, but she didn''t want to lie to him, so she


    had no choice but to change the topic. "Baby, do you want to eat honey chicken wings? I''ll make


    them for you."


    Lawrie loved honey chicken wings and that was why Vanessa studied the recipe. After several tries,


    she finally managed to make the version that suited Lawrie''s pte. This dish was her proud work.


    On top of that, whenever Julien was not satisfied with her cooking, she would make this dish and


    Julien would praise her for it.


    "Yes." Lawrie nodded sweetly.


    "Then let''s go out now to buy the ingredients," Vanessa said while picking Lawrie up.


    "Okay." No matter what his mother said, he would definitely agree to it.


    Vanessa helped Lawrie change into another set of clothes. Lawrie was a good looking child. With a


    little effort, he was already more handsome than those child actors on TV.


    Vanessa remembered there was once she had brought Lawrie to a shopping mall, and a talent


    scout who imed to work for a film and televisionpany approached her and wanted Lawrie to


    take part in some reality show. However, Vanessa decisively refused the man. She thought that no


    matter what, she didn''t want Lawrie to be a public figure.


    Vanessa took Lawrie to a nearby supermarket. It had been a while since Lawriest seen Vanessa,


    so he was very excited along the way. He did not look like a child who had just recovered from a


    fever.


    Vanessa was distressed to see Lawrie behaving like this. If she had stayed with him all the time, he


    would not have fallen ill because he was missing her too much.


    Just as she was thinking about it, her cell phone suddenly rang.


    Vanessa took out her mobile phone and looked at it. It was Julien. She instinctively looked around


    but did not see him. However, she was still nervous and her hands were shaking. "Lawrie..."


    Before Vanessa could finish her words, the smile on Lawrie''s face had already vanished. "Mommy, I


    want to be with you."


    Lawrie''s words once again broke Vanessa''s heart. She put her hand on Lawrie''s shoulders and said


    in a gentle voice, "Baby, I''m not going anywhere. I just need to answer a phone call. Can you be


    quiet for a while?"

    "Okay." Lawrie nodded. As long as her mother wouldn''t abandon him, he was willing to do anything.


    Vanessa hurriedly answered the call. However, Julien remained silent. Hence, she asked cautiously,


    "What''s the matter?"
