Chapter 8: How Do You Want Me to Answer?​

Dolores slowly lifted her head. When she saw the man’s face, she was surprised, “Dr. Herbert.”


There was a group of people standing behind Sampson and this made Dolores even more surprised, “Why, why are you here?”


Her brother had autism and it was Sampson who treated him. In the course of contact, they got to know each other.


Sampson smiled gently. Before he uttered a word, the director of the hospital spoke, “Dr. Herbert’s here to carry out a forum in my hospital.”


Sampson was a famous psychiatrist. He was especially an autism expert.


“What about you, why are you here, are you sick?” Samson asked.


Dolores’s body trembled when she thought of her mom’s resolute attitude.


“Lola!” Jessica rushed over from the other side of the corridor with the checklist in her hand. When she came back and heard the nurse say that Dolores had run away, she was very shocked. Jessica could not help but shout agitatedly when she saw Dolores.


Dolores pursed her lips and she was on the verge of tears, “Mom…”


Sampson said to the director of the hospital standing beside him, “You guys go back first, I have something to do.”


“Since Dr. Herbert has something to do, we won’t bother you then. I’m sincerely inviting Dr. Herbert to work in my hospital. If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me, I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”


Sampson said gently, “I’ll consider it.”


“Let’s go outside first before we talk, this is not the right place.” Sampson said to Jessica. The hospital was full of people so it was not a good place for them to talk.


Jessica also knew Sampson. When her son received treatments, she really could not raise the money sometimes. And Dr. Herbert was the one who offered help to pay for it.


Therefore, Jessica had a lot of respect for him.


Jessica held Dolores’s wrist tightly, fearing that she would run away again.


As soon as they came out of the hospital, Dolores knelt in front of Jessica, “Mom, I beg you, we already lose Jeremy. Please let me give birth to this child.”


Sampson frowned. What did she mean? He quickly thought of something and his eyes were gazing at her abdomen.


When he saw the test results in Jessica’s hand, he could figure out clearly that Dolores was pregnant.


He was shocked and he felt unbelievable.


He wanted to know what had happened but now was not the right time to ask.




Dolores seldom cried in front of Jessica. Even when her brother died, she cried secretly and never shed a tear in front of Jessica.


It was not that Jessica wanted to force her. But, if Dolores gave birth to that child, would she still have a bright future?


As the saying went, becoming a mother made a vulnerable woman stronger than before. It seemed like it would be very difficult for Jessica to let Dolores give up. With a long sigh, Jessica said, “Suit yourself.”


Finishing the words, Jessica turned and left. Her heart overflowed with sadness and she did not know how to face her daughter.


Dolores slowly squatted. She forced herself to be strong but her tears of sorrow uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks. She did not want to cry but she really could not control herself. The accumulated pain and sorrow in her heart totally shattered her.


Before Sampson came back from overseas, he did find them and got to know that they had already come back from overseas and her brother had died in a car accident.


He did not know what had happened during that meantime.


Sampson squatted down and comforted her. When he first knew this woman, she was just a teenager but she was already very sensible as she took care of her brother and mother.


Once, he had seen that she only had money to buy two boxed meals but she gave the two boxed meals to her mother and brother, telling Jessica that she had already eaten. But in fact, she had not eaten.


She was really a thoughtful and mature girl who would make someone’s heart ached with pity for her.


Sampson wanted to reach out to touch her head and comfort her but before his hand fell on her head, Dolores suddenly raised her head and looked at him, “Thank you for your help in the past, I’ll definitely pay you back if I have money in the future.”


Sampson’s hand paused above her hair. He slowly clenched, withdrew it and said with a smile, “Silly girl, I volunteered to help you so you don’t need to return the money.”


Dolores shook her head, “I know you’re a kind person, I’ll always remember it.”


If she had the ability in the future, she was bound to return the money.


Sampson helped her to get up, “Where do you live? I’ll drive you home.”


At this time, Dolores was worried about Jessica. So, she nodded and said her address.


When they reached the destination, Dolores opened the car door and got out. Sampson asked her, “Will you go back to the hospital to do an abortion again?”


Dolores turned to look at him and shook her head, “I won’t.”


It was not easy for her to escape from abortion and come back to her home.


After arriving at home, Dolores saw Jessica sitting on a chair and wiping her tears. Dolores’s emotions hit her like a bullet through her chest.






Jessica wiped away her tears, not looking at Dolores, “I’m fine, you go back.”


“Mom…”


“It’s Mom’s fault for not taking good care of you.” Jessica wiped her tears but her eyes could not stop shedding tears.


Dolores rushed over and hugged Jessica. The mother and daughter hugged each other while sobbing their hearts out to vent their sorrows.


It took a long time for them to calm down. Dolores told Jessica about the deal with Matthew and asked Jessica not to worry about her.


Jessica was astounded. How could marriage be treated so irresponsibly like a trifling matter?


Although Jessica was not in favour of the marriage with a deal, Dolores was pregnant and already lost her virginity. That man of the Nelson family would definitely not accept it. Perhaps it was not a bad thing too.


She would take care of her own daughter in the future.


In the evening, after Dolores returned to the villa, Matthew was not around. After dinner, Dolores walked around the courtyard of the villa to digest her food and to have a good look at the surroundings of the villa.


When it was late, she went back to her room. However, she felt thirsty so she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.


She drank half glass of water and when she was about to go back to her room and hit the sack, the sound of the knob being twisted sounded. The door was opened.


Then, a tall figure came in, followed by a beautiful silhouette.


Dolores was stunned.


She never expected that Matthew would bring back the woman he liked although it was already so late at night.


Helen was also startled when she saw Dolores. Wasn’t this the woman in the hospital that day?


Helen looked up at Mathew. His face looked cold.






What was he angry about that day?


Was it because of this woman?


A woman’s mind was always sensitive. Matthew’s unnatural behaviour made Helen wary of Dolores.


“Well, I’m going back to my room.” Dolores did not want to be the third wheel that would make them annoyed.


“Wait.” Matthew gazed at Dolores. She was wearing a very conservative nightgown with a white skirt that extended up to her ankles, showing two fair and thin arms. She looked somewhat innocent.


But thinking about what she did, Matthew was a little disgusted, “Helen is the other master of this house other than I, can you get what I mean?”


Dolores felt that Matthew was carrying coals to Newcastle. She had never thought of herself as the master of this house, what was the need for him to emphasize it?


“I know. I’m going to bed then.” Dolores turned around and headed to the room.


“Ms. Flores.” Helen looked at her, “I’m sorry.”


Dolores was bewildered and looked at Helen with surprise.


Helen’s face was full of apologies, “Even though you’re engaged to Matthew, I have known Matthew earlier than you. If it wasn’t you, I would be the one who married him. We love each other very much, so…”


“What do you want to tell me?” Dolores found this woman very strange.


She was very clear about her identity and had no intention to disturb them.


Why was this woman saying those words?


“You already married Matthew but he doesn’t like you because of me, so I’m guilty about it.”


“No need.” According to a normal person’s thinking, with such an awkward relationship, shouldn’t they avoid interfering with each other?


Did this woman act in this way as she wanted to show her kindness in front of Matthew?


For an unknown reason, Dolores had a bad impression of that woman.


Matthew narrowed his eyes and stared at Dolores’s face, “How can you talk to her like that?”


Dolores pursed her lips. She just wanted to stay in this house peacefully for a month and after she got what belonged to her, she would leave.


It was that woman who uttered all those strange words.


What should she reply?


“How do you want me to answer?” Dolores really did not know what should she reply to Helen.
