Chapter 457 Where to Call Home?


    Despite all the cries and yells behind, Horace took ra out of the ward after shutting the door to


    iste the noise made by Laura. But he didn''t stop walking until they couldn''t hear any voices from


    Laura.


    Letting go of his hold, Horace seated himself on the bench in the corridor and pressed his temples


    lightly to ease his tiredness. He was totally worn out mentally and physically. It was uneasy for ra to


    watch Horace like this. She knew it must be a rough day for Horace for what he had been through this


    day and for knowing the truth.


    Sitting next to Horace, ra wanted tofort him but didn''t know what to say. She wasn''t there when


    the things happened back then, so she didn''t know how bad was Horace hurt. What she could do was


    to stay with him, ept the pain, digest it, and let it go with him together.


    The corridor fell into silence for a while before ra asked out of worry, "Are you okay? Horace?"


    While Horace finally looked up at her, squeezing out a smile, and said, "Yeah, I''m fine."


    To ra, the smile seemed really sad.


    She couldn''t help but say, "Hey, it will all be over soon. Just let it go and move on." She knew her words


    may seem a bitme but at least better than nothing. She just couldn''t let Horace be so lonely. She


    shared the pain and the grief with him.


    "Yeah, I know." Horace looked thankfully at ra, nodding his head. "I can handle it, so don''t be so


    worried. It isn''t that bad after all. I get to know the truth about the kidnap and that is what I''ve been


    looking after for years."


    "Sure." ra also nodded. She didn''t know how to answer while Horace didn''t seem to talk, so the air


    be quiet again.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After a while, ra spotted a nurse who was walking back and forth the corridor anxiously, as if looking


    for someone. A better look confirmed the nurse as the one who had transfused Helena with glucose.


    ra stood up while doubting in her heart, "Is she looking for me?"


    After a few more rounds of searching, the nurse also noticed ra. She trotted down the corridor,


    asking, "Are you Helena''s family? I think it''s you."


    "Yes, that''s me." ra nodded.


    "Thank God, I''ve been looking for you. Why are you here? You are not supposed to leave the patient


    alone in the ward, you know?" The nurse couldn''t help butin.


    "Oh, I''m sorry. I was dealing with other issues. What''s wrong?" ra said apologetically.


    "The patient was awake. You should check on her. There''s nothing serious but she is still weak after


    the operation. You really should take good care of her. It isn''t a long time before shees to the


    hospital again. You are her daughter, right? Keep an eye on your mom, okay?" Checking the medical


    records, the nurse said, frowning. It''s natural for the nurse to mistake ra as an unfilial daughter


    since ra left her mother alone in the ward.


    "Yeah, I''ll be more careful. Thank you." ra knew the nurse was implying she was an unfilial


    daughter. Though the nurse didn''t know what was going on between ra and her mom, she still felt a


    bit wronged. But it was inappropriate to exin every detail to the nurse, so she could only listen


    without vindicating herself.


    "You are wee. Just go to your mother. She may use some help." Given the polite attitude of ra,


    the nurse stopped criticizing her and left after telling her some dos and don''ts."


    "Shall I go with you?" Horace asked, standing up.


    "No, it''s fine. You can rest here." Horace was so exhausted that ra couldn''t let him go to Helena.


    She could imagine what would be like when she went back to Helena''s ward that they would talk about


    nothing but Laura. It made her headache only thinking about that so not to mention Horace, who would


    definitely not want to hear about Laura anymore.


    "I''m not tired and I''m worried about you. We should go together," Horace said, heading to Helena''s


    ward.


    Pulling him back, ra resorted to excuses, "I…I want to talk to her alone."


    Horae stopped, and agreed after a moment''s thought, "I''ll wait for you at the front door. Call me when


    you''re done. I can drive you home."


    "It''s okay. I can go home myself." ra refused his offering. She was not clear about the rtionship


    between Horace and her, so it would be better to keep some distance.


    "Go to Helena. I''ll wait for you there." As if he didn''t hear the refusion, Horace left without further


    exnations, leaving ra no chance to refuse again.


    ra stared at Horace as he walked away, her heart filling with sorrows and bitterness, which nearly


    drove her to tears. For so many reasons, like timidness or coincidence, she didn''t really get to sit down


    and talk to Horace about why he had forced her to abortion. She was afraid that everything would be


    ruined if there was not a misunderstanding and it was Horace who didn''t want the kid.


    Should she forgive him for the sake of Neo, or perhaps, for herself? She couldn''t resist his gentleness,


    just as she couldn''t help but fall in love with him the first few years. But she had been so happy back


    then, now she only felt miserable.


    Taking a deep breath, ra held back the tears. It was not the time to think about the rtionship, she


    should go to Helena first.
