Chapter 342 Heartless Laura
After breakfast, Logan went to work and ra went to the hospital.
ra had been abroad in the past few years, but she had asked Logan to hire someone to take care of
Helena. She had heard that Helena''s health was deteriorating and that she hadn''t gotten the surgery
because there was no suitable bone-marrow donor.
Thinking of this, ra felt guilty. She had never returned home to visit her mother during these years.
She was not a good daughter.
But thinking of Horace and Laura, she was afraid toe back. She feared that seeing them would
rupture her wounds again.
ra stood outside the front door of Helena''s ward and suddenly felt timid.
Hospitals, wards, room numbers, seats in the hallway... Everything in front of her was familiar. The
images of her and Helena talking andughing seemed to have happened yesterday. But in fact, they
hadn''t seen each other for five years, and everything that seemed familiar to her was far away for her.
ra didn''t push the door open as she had always done, she knocked.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Hearing a familiar, but distinctly older voice, ra''s eyes became moist. She almost cried.
Although she already knew that Helena was very ill now, ra was shocked the moment she saw her
after entering the ward. Tears flowed uncontrobly, and the psychological preparations she had just
made copsed in an instant.
Tears fell heavily on the ground. ra covered her mouth in disbelief, afraid that she would cry out
because of what she saw.
Was this her mother? How could she have be like this!
Helena was now hanging a drip. The vessel in her hand burst out. She was almost a skeleton.
Looking upwards, ra saw no flesh on Helena. Through the dry skin, the shape of bone was
discernable.
Helena''s face was ashen. Her cheeks sunk and her cheekbones bulging high on either side, ra
looked into Helena''s eyes.
They were clear and warm, but now, they were like a dry well with only sludge inside.
Yet Helena''s eyes lit up the moment she saw ra. ra could even clearly see how happy Helena
was to see her and how much she had missed her.
"ra? Is it you? Am I dreaming?"
"Mom, it''s me. I''m back. I''m sorry..." Hearing Helena''s hoarse voice, ra threw herself uncontrobly
in front of the bed and cried.
She should havee to see her mother all these years. In her memory, Helena had always been
smiling at herself tenderly and lovingly. When did she be like this?
"ra, you are back!" Helena smiled as she touched ra''s hair, "Don''t cry, don''t cry, let me have a
good look at you. I haven''t seen you for a long time."
Looking up in sobs, ra smiled at Helena as she had just practiced at the door, but she couldn''t do it.
She burst into tears.
"Okay, no more crying." Helena raised her hand to wipe ra''s tears. But feeling her dry, ra cried
even harder.
ra didn''t know why she was crying so hard. Her tears were like a flood that broke its banks. Helena
didn''t know how tofort her. She could only caress her back with her hand...
ra finally calmed down a little and looked up at Helena.
"ra, how have you been all these years?" Helena asked softly, guilt visible in her eyes. If it wasn''t for
her, how could ra have returned to her own life after so many years?
"I''m fine, what about you?" Raising her hand to wipe the tears that remained under her eyes, ra

asked the same question.
"I''m fine, your brother has been asking someone to take care of me all these years."
"Oh, I..." ra wanted to say something but didn''t know what to say.
After the excitement and sadness had passed, ra found that what stood between her and Helena
was the strangeness and distance brought about by five years. Her tear was more like a farewell to the
past.
"Did Logane back with you?" Helena asked.
ra nodded, "How is your health, Mrs. Selman?"
ra wanted to call her mother, but thinking that Laura was Helena''s daughter and Helena loved Laura
more, she felt a little embarrassed and distant.
She called Helena "mother" just now because he hadn''t thought of this. However, she couldn''t do it
anymore and finally chose to use honorifics.
Helena was sad to notice the change in the way ra addressed her, but there was nothing she could
say.
She was indeed not her mother. She stole ra''s life, yet ra forgave her. That was already a lot.
How can she expect ra to call her "mother" again?
"My body is just like this. I am only existing." Helena said calmly. She had long lost hope.
ra was a little anxious. How could Helena be so negative? it would only be harmful to her body.
"Hasn''t Laura seen you in all these years? Has she ever had the bone marrow matching test? You
have to have the surgery as soon as possible!"
Hearing ra''s words, Helena''s eyes shed with disappointment, yet she didn''t speak. Seeing this,
ra had a thought in her mind. Oh god!
"She didn''t want to, right?" ra asked angrily, couldn''t believe that Laura would not be so cruel to her
mother.
"No, it''s not." Helena waved her hand, her face full of anxiety, "Laura she is busy. It is not that she
doesn''t want, she is just too busy. Don''t misunderstand her."
Helena''s hasty exnation confirmed ra''s suspicions. ra sneered. "Busy? She has the time to
go to sea, but not the time to save her mother, who is in danger?"
She knew what kind of person Laura was, but again, she was shocked by how heartless Laura could
be. Growing up, she had never seen anyone who cared so little about family.
Looking at Helena, who was extremely feeble, ra raised her eyebrows tightly. Helena wouldn''t be
able to survive if she couldn''t get her surgery as soon as possible.
Should she go to find Laura? Thinking of the vicious woman who would do anything to achieve her
goal, ra hesitated.
At this time, ra heard the phone in her bag ring. After seeing the caller''s name, ra pursed her lips
into a straight line.
