You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 222

Coralie did not know that her fake death in A city had caused quite a stir.

Among the people she knew, everyone bore different thoughts when they were informed of her death.

Some were in disbelief, some were in pain, and some even gloated.

Fortunately, Yohan really believed that she was dead.

Coralie had never thought that Yohan was such a person. She had always thought of him as the good

friend from her childhood. Unexpectedly, he had changed so much after so many years.

Coralie retrieved the money from her bank card in advance.

She took a taxi overnight, left A City, and arrived at a small town in the north.

Since it was inconvenient to flash her ID card, Coralie made up a tragic story and portrayed herself as

a victim of domestic abuse. She rented a house here, bought some infant products, and waited for the

birth of the child.

......

Seven months later.

It was December when Coralie went into labor.

When Coralie began to feel pain, she immediately brought with her all the essential things and went to

the hospital.

She initially thought that the labor would be fast, but she didn't expect the pain to last for three days

and three nights.

During these three days, Coralie almost fell into despair, but she didn't have enough money for a

Caesarean section. In addition, the doctor had repeatedly reassured that her condition was good and

she would be able to give birth to a baby naturally.

Coralie only persisted for three days. Every night, the increasingly frequent pain almost drove her

crazy. There was no one beside her. Only the nurse was there to place her meal on the table next to

her when it was time to eat.

Most of the young people in the town had gone out to work. She was the only pregnant woman in the

hospital labor room, and every night, she was the only one screaming in the ward.

Until the morning of the third day, she was finally ready for her childbirth. Coralie was pushed into the

delivery room, and in less than an hour, the child was born.

The nurse wiped the baby clean and handed him to Coralie while she told her, "Look, it's a boy."

Then, she wrapped the child with a towel and put him beside Coralie for a while.

Coralie turned to look at the baby next to her. Although he was just born, his eyes were wide open, as if

he couldn't wait to see the world around him.

"Baby."

Coralie looked at the child and suddenly felt that the sufferings she went through before did not matter

anymore.

As long as the child with Skylar was born safely, everything would be fine.

When Coralie called out to the baby, the child laughed at her as if he had heard Coralie's welcome.

"Baby, I'll give you a nickname first. You'll be Hendric. I hope you'll grow up healthily and I'll be by your

side forever."

Coralie looked at Hendric and his smiling face. She felt all fuzzy inside.

It turned out that being a mother was such a wonderful feeling.

Soon the child was carried to the baby's room, and Coralie was pushed back to the ward. The nurses

gave Hendric a bath and dressed him before he was pushed over to Coralie in a small cart.

Seeing how adorable the baby was, the nurse couldn't help but ask Coralie, "Miss, you were suffering

so much when you gave birth to the baby, why didn't anyone come to keep you company? Where is the

father?"

"The child's father..." Coralie looked down and made a smooth lie, "I ran away from home. The child's

father is a heavy gambler and he is deep in debt. The debt collectors threatened us to repay the debt

with the child. I had no choice but to run away all by myself."

"I see." The nurse looked at the baby and was also very sympathetic to Coralie. She said, "Look, he is

such a lovely baby, but he doesn't get to see his father when he was born." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"It's okay. At least he has me as his mother."

Coralie looked at the nurse and forced a smile.

In fact, she was really wishing that Skylar could take a look at this baby, their baby. Unfortunately, even

Coralie was not sure if such a day would come.

One month after Coralie was discharged from the hospital, all the people in the town believed in her

story and thought it was not easy for her as a single mother.

There was a middle-aged couple with the surname of Carter in the town. They were running a small

factory in the town. When Hendric was five months old, they invited Coralie to be the accountant of the

factory and allowed her to bring her baby to work. These jobs were easy for Coralie. Although the

salary was not much, it helped to reduce Coralie's financial burden.

For the time being, she did not have to worry about their meals and clothing.

After all, with the baby, the expenses had also expanded. In fact, if Coralie hadn't been working, she

would probably be helpless.

Coralie had been working in the factory alongside her baby for more than a year. Hendric was almost

two years old. There was only one kindergarten in the town for toddlers. She was thinking about

sending Hendric to the kindergarten once he reached the age.

After all, he had caused a lot of trouble for the factory over the past year.

However, when he was one year and seven months old, Hendric started to have a fever. At first,

Coralie didn't think too much about it; she just put a wet towel on his forehead to try to cool down his

temperature.

However, the fever lasted for more than a week. Coralie couldn't sit still anymore, so she asked for a

leave from the factory manager and took Hendric to the town's hospital. At first, they couldn't find out

the cause of the fever.

It was not until Hendric began to have nosebleeds frequently that the hospital confirmed that Hendric

had leukemia.

When Coralie saw the diagnosis result, everything in her world went dark and she fainted instantly.

When Coralie woke up again, she was lying in the ward of the hospital.

The person sitting beside her was Aaron Carter, the manager of the factory, and his wife. Hendric was

also sitting on her bed.

"Uncle Carter, I'm..."

When Coralie woke up, she was slightly confused and couldn't remember what had happened.

Aaron knew that Hendric was ill. They looked at Coralie and handed her the diagnosis result.

Coralie looked at the diagnosis result and recalled why she fainted. She looked at her lovely Hendric on

the bed and hugged him. She doubted, "Why would Hendric get this disease?"

"It's better to ask the doctor. We'll pay for the hospitalization expenses. Your child needs money to treat

his illness. If you need any help, just let us know."

Aaron felt relieved when he saw that Coralie was awake.

Although Coralie had not been with them for a long time, Hendric had been in the factory all the time.

Aaron and his wife treated Coralie as their daughter and Hendric as their grandchild and took good

care of them. Now that Hendric was sick, they were also distressed for him.

"Mom, hug."

Hendric didn't know about his condition. When he saw that Coralie was awake, he smiled happily and

asked for a hug from her.

Coralie held Hendric in her arms and kissed him continuously before getting out of bed. She wanted to

ask the doctor how this illness should be treated and how much the treatment fee would cost before the

doctor got off work.

When she returned to the doctor with the diagnosis result, the doctor asked more about Hendric's

situation before he noted, "The environment in the factory is quite harmful for a child because harmful

chemicals are everywhere. Although it's okay for an adult to stay there, it's different for children since

they have a weaker immune system."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Coralie's tears streamed down. She realized that she had been too

negligent.

"Then, doctor, what is the treatment for my child?"

Coralie held Hendric in her arms and asked the doctor.
