Free Web NovelChapter 116: His Mother
I pushed Cooper away and sprang to my feet as the woman stepped into the room.
"Why did you do that? I’m still a patient; you can’t do that to me," Cooper whined as he stared at me. His attention was still on me. He hadn’t noticed the woman yet.
When I didn’t respond to him, he followed my gaze and noticed the woman too.
"Mom?" He gasped once he saw her. "What are you doing here?" He approached her and then hugged her. But the woman didn’t respond to him; she kept her eyes on me and continued watching me.
Her stare made me nervous. I lowered my eyes when her gaze grew more intense.
"Mom, what are you doing here? What a surprise!" Cooper laughed, holding her.
"Won’t you send her away?" The woman spoke up.
"Send her away? Who?" Cooper questioned.
The woman sighed. "What on earth are you doing in your condition? Can’t you hold your manhood for a day or two? Why do this in a hospital?" She scolded him.
"I wasn’t... doing anything. You interrupted us," Cooper grumbled.
"Send her away and let’s talk," she repeated as she took her seat in the resting area. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Why should I send her away? Why do you keep saying that I should send her away?" Cooper probed.
"Then do you want her to listen to our conversation?" She retorted.
"Do you even know who she is?" Cooper groaned.
"I don’t care. She has to be one of your whores; send her away. I won’t repeat myself," she stated.
"Mom! How could you say that to her?" Cooper huffed, walking over to me and holding my arm.
"She’s my mate. Why should I send her away? She’s my mate! You can say whatever you wish to say before her. She’s not a stranger," he insisted.
I saw the woman’s eyes widen a little, but she composed herself the next second.
"She’s the one?" She asked.
"What’s with your tone? Why do you sound disrespectful?" Cooper groaned. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Since she’s mated to the four of you, I half expected her to be a real deal. I didn’t know she would..." She paused and heaved a sigh.
Upon her words, I lowered my head again. I’ve always wanted to meet Cooper and Bryce’s mother. I’ve always dreamt of it. If I had known that I’d be running into her today, I would have dressed more appropriately.
I’m just wearing shorts and a top. I look very ordinary right now. My hair isn’t done, and I have no makeup on. I have failed to impress her—clearly. But I never expected that she’d be this rude either.
Never! She’s rude and very mean. Disrespectful.
This is sad. I thought everyone would be like Parker’s mother. I must have confused myself.
Cooper left my arm and drew closer to her. "Mom! Please! If you continue being disrespectful, then I’ll show you your way out. And if you insist on staying, you must apologize to her," he demanded.
But she ignored his words, placed her handbag on the table, and brought out a container. The container was filled with chocolate.
"I brought this for you. You had this every time you got sick; it helped you recover quickly," she said.
"Mom, didn’t you hear me?" Cooper drew closer to her again, and she ignored him yet again. He started to speak, "Mom, how could you—"
I rushed to him just as he began to speak and stopped him.
"It’s okay, I’ll leave right away. Speak to her nicely; she’s your mother," I whispered, and before Cooper could say another word, I walked out of the ward. He came after me the next second and handed me my bag.
"I’ll apologize to you properly later, but I have to speak to her first. Go home, I’ll call you," he said, then turned and walked away.
I heeded his words; I left the hospital and went back to the mansion, heading straight to my room. I fell on the bed and lay there with my eyes closed.
I didn’t expect that she’d be this rude. This comes as a shock.
Even Bryce was never this rude. Yes, he was evil, and he still is. But he has never made me feel like shit, just like his mother had.
Neither of them has. They’ve never looked down on me or belittled me in this manner.
I’m truly heartbroken, and I want to cry.
Thinking back now, the brothers always treated me like I was some prize, some gold. Maybe their treatment of me helped me forget who I really was before they came into my life.
At school, I act like I have it all, but in reality, I truly have nothing.
A sigh left my lips as I turned to the other side of the bed.
I suddenly miss my mom. I miss home. I miss my family.
The vibration of my phone attracted my attention, so I opened my bag and retrieved it.
Parker was on the line.
I swiped the icon and answered the call.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hello, I’ll be there in less than twenty minutes. I’m with my sister. I hope you’re ready; we’re moving straight to the park," he said.
"Oh..." I oohed, sitting up on the bed.
"Oh? Why? Have you changed your mind?" He asked.
"Y...es, I feel a little down. Can I stay?"
"No, you can’t. If you feel down, this is an opportunity to regain your happiness. I’ll be there. Dress up," he said and quickly disconnected the call.
I guess he is right. I should dress up. I’ll forget Celine’s insults once I get on a ride.
Rising from bed, I went into my closet and changed my outfit. When a text dropped onto my phone, I left my room and met him outside the gate. I entered his car.
"Hi, princess, how are you?" I waved at his sister once I was seated, but she rolled her eyes at me. I secretly rolled my eyes back at her but didn’t utter another word.
Parker chuckled at our interaction.
"So can you tell me what happened? What made you so unhappy? Surely it wasn’t Bryce, was it?" He questioned.
I shook my head. "No, it was his mother," I revealed.
"His what?" He unexpectedly hit the brakes, and we briefly lost our balance.
My eyes widened as I stared at him. "Why did you do that?" I questioned, panicking.
But he ignored my words and asked, "Is Celine in town? Did you meet her?" He interrogated.
