Chapter 352 A Wavering Heart


    "Mr. Harvey, there''s still an empty house next to Madam Belle''s house. We''re currently renting it. Aron


    thought of how in the past year, Calvin had been alone and taciturn every day. Now that he had finally


    met Belle and his child, he would definitely bring them back. Two days prior, he had ordered him to


    search for a house nearby and had already thought of this. Now, looking at the situation at hand, it


    seemed like it wasn''t that easy to bring Belle and Jerry back. Thus, he told him about this news."


    Calvin''s eyes darkened slightly as he raised his eyes and inch.


    "Okay, go and pack up first. We''ll move in tomorrow. After his brief reply, he took out the keycard and


    unlocked the door. He plonked down on the bed, overwhelmed with exhaustion and sorrow, and soon


    fell asleep."


    "Belle was awakened by Jerry''s coughs. When she woke up, Jerry''s face was flushed red from


    coughing and he was on the verge of losing his breath. She was shocked and terrified as she hurriedly


    picked him up and patted his back, crying out, ""Jerry, what''s wrong? Don''t scare me."""


    "Jerry was coughing so loudly that his eyes were filled with tears. Hey limply in Belle''s arms and


    cried, ""Mom."""


    Belle felt both sorry and sad. She held Jerry in her arms with a dull look on her face.


    "Since Calvin had left Tristany in the morning, he hadn''t returned. It was already afternoon. She


    assumed that he had already left and wouldn''te back."


    "When she thought that he would nevere again after leaving, she felt a sense of loss in her heart."


    "After all, Jerry was his child. If he left, it meant that Jerry wouldn''t have a father anymore. This was so


    unfair to Jerry."


    "She felt a faint pain in her heart as she hugged Jerry tightly. Her heart was empty, and Jerry also


    seemed to have sensed her feelings. His small hands hugged her neck tightly as he mumbled, ""Mom,


    Mom."" From time to time, he would cough so hard that he couldn''t breathe."


    Belle was at her wits'' end.


    "Jerry, do you want Dad? She asked in a soft voice. ""Should I give you to Dad? He has power and will


    give you a better life."" She leaned closer to Jerry''s ear."


    "Jerry just grabbed onto her clothes and coughed, saying, ""Mom."""


    Belle''s heart ached.


    The conversation with Calvin the night before didn''t end amicably.


    "Calvin wanted to take Jerry to A City for treatment because he was worried about the substandard


    medical facilities here. Nevertheless, she would not agree to it."


    "However, after Jerry''s cough became more and more severe, Belle''s heart began to waver."


    "Was she supposed topromise and let Jerry return to his side? After all, Jerry was his child, and


    staying with him would be many times better than with her."


    "After a while, she shook her head with all her might."


    "Lexie''s child was there as well. Lexie wouldn''t be able to tolerate Jerry''s presence, so she couldn''t


    allow him to take that risk. Perhaps it would be fine if she followed him back as well, but she was really


    tired of living the life of luxury, and she didn''t want to live like that anymore."


    "In this way, she held Jerry in her arms for the whole afternoon and walked back and forth in the house.


    Her arms were so sore that they became numb, and her face was extremely pale."


    "As night descended, Jerry fell into a deep sleep after ingesting the cold medicine."


    "Belle was tired and sleepy. With her head on the pillow, she fell asleep listlessly while hugging Jerry."


    "Jerry, Jerry, where are you? Belle opened her arms and cried out in a terrifying voice. In the dark night,


    she couldn''t see anything clearly. Belle''s arms were empty, and there was only one thought that existed


    in her mind. Jerry was missing. Her Jerry was missing!"


    It can''t be! She couldn''t lose Jerry! He was her whole life!


    "She ran as fast as she could, using all her strength."


    "Suddenly, she was suspended in mid-air and everything went dark as she fell heavily to the ground."


    "Ah, Jerry. Belle screamed and sat up suddenly. It was dark as death around her. It was terribly silent. It


    turned out that she just had a dream!"


    "In her desperation, she whipped her head around and saw Jerry sleeping quietly beside her. He was


    sleeping very soundly, his forehead covered with a fineyer of sweat."


    "She reached out her hand and felt a slight chill on his forehead. Fortunately, he didn''t have a high


    fever!"


    Her heart was at ease.


    "She sat there in a daze. All the blood in her body seemed to freeze, and the tips of her fingers were


    cold."


    She couldn''t get out of that dream!

    That terrifying aura still pervaded the air around her.


    "Only after a long time had passed, she slowlyy down, staring into the darkness soullessly with her


    She must have been so haunted by the fear of losing Jerry that she had such a terrible dream.


    There was a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.


    "Lying quietly, suddenly she felt an inexplicable loneliness. It was a kind of panic, loneliness, fear,


    emptiness, and all kinds of negative emotions. For so many years, in the night, she often had a feeling


    of destion without hispany. This feeling had always jolted her awake in the middle of the night


    and made it difficult for her to fall asleep again."


    "Ever since she had given birth to Jerry, this sort of feeling had be even more severe."


    "It was empty all around her, and she turned to hold Jerry tightly in her arms. At times like this, only


    when she held Jerry tightly would she be able to suppress this feeling, and slowly fall into a deep


    slumber."


    "She held Jerry tightly in her arms, not knowing when she had fallen asleep."


    "The next day, she still hadn''t seen Calvin. Perhaps he had already made up his mind to let them go."


    "After all, she had made it clear. "


    "When she thought of this, her heart slightly ached, but she calmed down. At the very least, she


    wouldn''t lose Jerry. There was still a trace of hope in her life."


    "Thanks to the IV drip supply for thest couple of days, Jerry''s fever came to an end. However, his


    coughs were getting worse and worse. Often, his face would be swollen, making it hard for him to


    breathe."


    "Belle was getting more and more anxious. Her tears often stained her cheeks, and the sight of Jerry''s


    difort was registered in her as an excruciating pain."


    "Sometimes, she would wonder if she should send Jerry back to Calvin. If Jerry could grow up with


    Calvin, he would be able to live a luxurious life in the future. Now, whenever she looked at him feeling


    so ufortable, she would feel even more heartbroken. However, as soon as the thought passed


    through her mind, she would hold Jerry in her arms and shake her head with all her might."


    "Jerry''s illness was very severe this time, and it had also made her thoroughly exhausted."


    "The most troublesome thing was feeding Jerry the medicine. He refused to take the medicine due to


    its bitterness. She would have to exert painstaking effort to get him to drink the medicine, and there


    were times when he would spit out the medicine that he had consumed with great difficulty."


    "Even so, that was still better than not being able to drink a single drop. At least Jerry''s condition had


    improved by the third day. Although he was coughing, he could stillugh and even amuse himself."


    "Two nights ago, she''d slept with Calvin. The three of them huddled together on the same bed, as if


    they hadn''t slept at all. The night before, she had taken care of Jerry alone. She''d been flustered by his


    cough and didn''t sleep much. As dawn broke, she was already very sleepy, her eyelids kept twitching.


    She had to keep Jerrypany for an injection and y with him for a while. It wasn''t even noon when


    she''d dozed off."


    "In her sleep, there seemed to be a pair of hands gently touching her face. The hands were very big


    and soft, warm, and very sentimental. She''d wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn''t do so. She''d


    wanted to drink in that feeling. She''d turned her face over until the handspletely covered her tiny


    face. The warm feeling had made her feel rxed and she''d fallen asleep again."


    "Jerry''s cries could be heard in her dreams, but she couldn''t wake up. However, the cries stopped after


    a short moment, and then came the sound of Jerry''sughter. She was on guard for a while, and then


    fell back to sleep. She sank into a state of unconscious drowsiness."


    "The night before, Calvin had returned dejectedly to the hotel and fell asleep. He did not wake up until


    midnight. When he''d woken up, he remembered Jerry, who was ill. He''d rushed to the ward in the


    middle of the night and saw Belle sleeping soundly with Jerry in her arms. Jerry did not have any sign


    of fever, so he was relieved. Looking down, he saw Belle''s haggard face, her eyes red and swollen. He


    didn''t have the heart to wake her up, so he returned to the hotel alone."


    "When he woke up again, Aron came."


    "Mr. Harvey, we have already rented the house and we have paid a month''s rent. I have everything


    ready in the house. As for the other daily necessities, I have already prepared them. Aron saw that


    Calvin was depressed and listless. He cautiously said, ""Please don''t worry, Mr. Harvey. Madam Belle


    loves you. I can see that, but she may still have some concerns. It''s better to untie the knot in her heart


    slowly."""


    Aron''s words seemed to have woken Calvin up. He lifted his head and sized up the young bachelor. He


    asked with disbelief written all over his face. "So you can understand a woman''s heart?"


    "Aron blushed slightly and said with a smile, ""I don''t know much about women''s hearts, but I can see


    Madam Belle''s heart clearly. After all, I''ve been with you for so long, so I know her personality. She is


    one of the women whom I admire the most. That''s why, I usually pay more attention to her words and


    actions."""


    "Oh, why don''t you tell me what kind of attitude she has towards me? Calvin asked with interest."


    "Well. Aron scratched his head and said with embarrassment, ""She definitely has you in her heart. It


    can be seen from the way she looks at you every time. Besides, you are so excellent. There is no


    reason for her not to like you."""


    "Aron thought of every time Belle looked at Calvin, and even if her eyes were as cold as ice, he could


    see a rare tenderness that was different from other people. Although she hid it deeply, Aron, ever the


    meticulous person, could still see it. He thought, ""This must be the special love from a woman to her


    beloved man."""


    "That''s all? Calvin couldn''t helpughing. Obviously, he wasn''t satisfied with such an exnation.


    Nevertheless, after thinking about it, he realized that the youngster in front of him had never dated


    before. How could he understand such a profound truth? Wasn''t this nonsense? He didn''t take it


    seriously and simply said, ""So, we''ll move in tomorrow. Please pay for the room here today."""


    "Okay. Aron was not good at words. However, seeing that Calvin was trapped by his rtionship


    issues, he merely shared his feelings. Seeing that Calvin had given him such instructions, Aron agreed


    and went out to foot the bill andmenced their relocation work."


    "By the time Calvin had finished dressing up, it was almost noon, so he went downstairs to have a


    meal. He specially selected some good dishes and told the waiter to pack up. Then, the waiter followed


    him to the hospital."


    "After entering the hospital, he found that the ward was quiet. When he gently pushed the door open,


    he saw Belle sleeping. She was still holding Jerry tightly in her arms. Both mother and son hugged


    each other and fell asleep."


    "He asked the waiter to put down the lunch box and left. He was standing in the room beholding such a


    scene, and his feelings were extremelyplicated."
