“Neo boy, you are awake! I thought that you are still having a good dream,” ra slightly stroke the head of the Doraemon doll.


    Standing aside, observing, Horace was pleased that ra now could mistake an entity as Neo after she mistook the invisible air as Neo yesterday.


    Such a change in ra installed a belief in Horace that the medication could finally cure her one day if she could keep on taking it and maintain a steady mood.


    Relieved by such a belief, Horace stared at ra with a lighter heart.


    She looked gentle and soft now, as it had brought out the maternal love inside her to the greatest extent.


    Moreover, she was charming and beautiful win this way. If she was not caught in her hallucination, she would be more than attractive to Horace. Horace shook his head to dismiss this thought. He knew that one could not have his cake and eat it too.


    Then Horace checked the time and decided to take ra to do some washing before having breakfast. He nned to take her out of the house to have fun today, so that her attention could be distracted from the painful memory a little.


    She had her breakfast in a cooperated and quiet way, so they finished their meal soon. They departed for their happy day after Horace helped ra get dressed.


    Before they left the house, ra insisted on having one more look at Neo’s room.


    She indeed wanted to hang out, so she needed to leave the fancy Neo alone for the day, which showed that she was now actually more a child than a psychopath.


    Horace decided to drive ra to a shopping mall and buy her some clothes. Since she was illst time, she had not bought any new dresses. Therefore, Horace thought that it was high time that they should do some shopping on such a nice day.


    ra behaved unexpectedly cooperated all the way until she saw a machine.


    She walked towards a w machine and wanted to take the dolls out of it, but she was stopped by the ss. She looked imploringly at Horace who then bought some machine coins and began the doll catching game.


    Horace had never yed this kind of game before, so he was unfamiliar with it. What’s more, as the machine had a special design which would decrease the sess rate, Horace caught nothing at his first time.


    The failure dampened the hopeful light in ra’s eyes, which made Horace determined that he must seed this time. Then, he fully focused on the w crane and tried to anticipate its next movement, which surprisingly brought them sess.


    When the doll fell out of the machine through a pipe, ra excitedly picked it up and shouted, “Neo boy, your dad is amazing, right?”


    Horace was transfixed by her words and his smile was frozen by disappointment.


    It turned out that ra would view every doll as Neo. Yet, when he saw that she indeed loved the doll, he felt that his effort was quite worth it.


    “Horace, have a look at him. Our boy is so cute, right?” tightly hugging the doll, ra turned to look at Horace and asked. Horace nodded his head and reached out to slightly rub ra’s head.


    A happy smile bloomed on ra’s face. Horae realized that it had been a long time since he saw the same smile on her facest time, especially after their loss of Neo. Heforted himself that he could also ept the current cruel reality if ra felt happy in this way.


    However, idents happened soon-ra nearly fell down from the esctor!


    Suddenly, ra rushed forwards and, before Horace realized what had happened, fell down on the ground. She moved so fast that Horace could not stop her.


    “ra, are you okay?” Horace walked over to help ra up and cast a terribly cold re at the woman who made her fall. He would make everyone who had hurt ra pay for it.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “She! She took Neo away from me.” Horace looked in the direction that ra pointed to and saw the doll in the woman’s hand.


    He was then made speechless. It turned out that the woman had just bought a doll for her own son when ra rushed towards her and mistook the doll as Neo.


    After Horace’s apology, the woman was to leave the spot, which agitated ra so much that she crazily grabbed the doll from the woman’s hand.


    “What the hell is wrong with you?” the woman was infuriated and shouted at ra. Horace stepped forward and, glowering at her coldly, handed her a 100 bill.


    “I have apologized. Give me the doll and you can buy another one with this,” Horacemanded. The woman was cheered up when she realized that’s she could exchange the doll which was worth no more than twenty dors for a hundred.


    She took the bill and left in a hurry, worried that Horace would regret his decision.


    Horace then supported ra to stand up straight and showed her the doll, “Now we have our Neo back. Are you happy?”


    ra kept gazing at Horace when he helped her tuck her hair behind her ear.


    ra now looked so lovely that Horace could not help kissing her. Then, with a doll in his arm, Horace headed for home with ra, who was also holding a doll, hand-in-hand.


    They had already shopped for a long time, so Horace thought that they should go home now. However, before they got into their car, ra vomited heavily, which worried Horace very much, so he drove ra to a hospital first.


    After some simple checks, Horace was told that ra vomited only because her fall in the mall caused some problems with her stomach, which was not serious, so the only medication she would need was a good rest.


    ording to the doctor, ra’s condition was not serious, so she could recover after some rest. Besides, since drugs always had side effects, it would be better that she did not take any of them.


    After the checks, Horace drove ra home. Before they truly settled down, an old voice full of authority imed Horace’s attention.


    “Horace, you are finally back,” it took Horace a few seconds to figure out who was talking to him. It was the old Mr. Lawrence, a good friend of thete Russell Kirnd, who had been so kind to Horace when he was young.


    He was puzzled by the reasons why the old Mr. Lawrence came.


    Horace sat opposite Mr. Lawrence with ra. After greeting him, rapsed into silence.


    “Horace, your wife looks…” The old man paused before he finished the sentence, waiting for Horace to exin the situation. Then, Horace told him the whole story.


    Actually, Mr. Lawrence had learned the whole story, but he just wanted to know by analyzing Horace’s own narration that whether Horace had a change of heart.


    After Horace finished his narration, the old man slightly stroke his own beard with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly suggested, “Now that your wife is ill, you may consider finding a new partner.”


    After all, although Horace was young, it would be tiring and challenging for him to take care of both thepany and his wife at the same time.


    Of course, Horace knew that it would be tiring. Yet, how could he leave ra now?


    He loved ra more than he could say. He would never betray and leave ra for a new woman only because she was ill.


    It was definitely impossible for him to abandon his wife.
