“Anya is Allen’s mother. She has the right to stay here.” Damon’s firm voice rang in the wide corridor.
“You really want to play- what?” The meaning behind Damon’s words was slow to sink in for Amanda. His words rang repeatedly on her ears.
Anya tightened his hold to Damon, nervous about what he had just said. Damon gripped back Anya’s hand, a sign that he was here.
He turned back to his mother.
“You know perfectly what I mean mother.” He said as he eyed her deeply.
Amanda always felt that the identity of Allen’s mother was mysterious. He tried countless of times to ask Damon about her but he would not say anything.
How could he not say something about that woman who he had met for these years and even had a child with?
With this, Amanda thought of how vague Damon had always been regarding this matter. But now, as what he had said, she did slowly put the pieces together.
The reason why her high and mighty son, who was raised on top and was groomed to never look down, would suddenly be interested in this meager woman, there should be a reason.
“Anya is the mother of my child.” Damon explicitly said what is on Amanda’s mind.
The old woman gasp as she heard and absorbed this. She directed her intense gaze at Anya.
“So you have been seducing my son for a long time now?!” Amanda exclaimed as she pointed at Anya.
“Mother!” Damon retorted back as he heard his mother’s nasty words. The door of the ward suddenly opened, and a woman came out.
Veronica had heard the commotion outside from the ward so she came out. She had been together with Amanda when Allen was rushed, so she came along.
The people outside turned to her. Damon saw Veronica and his expression immediately became ugly.
He just knew why his mother has such nasty words for Anya, because there’s a snake constantly whispering to her.
Veronica saw the situation and when she saw Anya, her expression to her was immediately hostile.
The she heard Damon’s scoff.
“You ask Anya to leave while an outsider is here? The mother of my child stays here, and the outsider should be the one to leave.” He said coldly.
Veronica was stunned. She knew the outsider he was talking about was herself. But she didn’t expect he would say it so explicitly. He actually revealed Anya’s true identity?
Veronica knew she was in a disadvantage, and she could only look pitifully at Amanda. Amanda also saw her state and tried to refute.
“Damon-“ But she was cut off by Damon’s cold look. It was gradually becoming colder and darker. She too felt a little scared. So Amanda became quiet.
Veronica saw this and she was anxious. But when she turned to Damon, her hope was completely extinguished.
“I won’t repeat it twice.” Damon said with a chilly voice.
Veronica felt humiliation as she was ruthlessly thrown away. She can’t help but look hatefully at Anya then turn her back and left with indignation.
Anya felt the situation was so tense. She looked at Damon’s mother’s stiff expression. The latter also eyed with doubt and dissatisfaction.
“How did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me, son? And who..” Amanda asked solemnly and she once again looked at Anya with strict eyes. Clearly telling, ‘I doubt your intentions with my son.’
Damon heard his mother’s question and sighed. It was normal for her to doubt. And it was true, that his and Anya’s circumstances was not simple.
“Mom, I’ll explain later. Let us first look at our son. This is not the right time and place. The important matter here is Allen’s state.” He said seriously.
Amanda couldn’t refute that, so she shut her mouth. But her expression was still unwell.
Damon could only helplessly sigh and looked at Anya. He patted her hand and led her to the ward.
Anya’s feelings were complicated. She knew that Damon’s mother wouldn’t want someone like her for Damon. And if she knew the truth about their circumstances, then what would she think? Anya bet that she would look at her more disapprovingly.
But Anya was glad Damon was with her. She finally accepted this man and their relationship, so she was going to stick and try her best. And with Damon with her, it gives her the strength to fight for her family.
She could only look worriedly and amicably at Amanda, as they pass to enter Allen’s ward.
When they entered, they saw the little child in the big hospital bed, with an IV inserted in his hand. He was sleeping soundly, but his cheeks were flushed, probably from the fever.
Anya couldn’t help but approach him and caress his forehead. She felt it was still hot and was worried.
“He still has a fever.” She said to Damon as she held the child’s little hand. Damon went to Anya and patted her shoulder.
“The doctor already said his out of danger. He will recover soon, so let’s ease our heart.” He tried to appease Anya even though his heart was also very worried about his son.
The child had been teething and it was said it’s normal to have colds and fever, but looking at his child sick, he’s heart can’t help but be anxious.
He had been out with his mom tonight, and without knowing their child was sick. He must be very afraid that time, without his parents.
Damon’s eyes darkened. He really wished to have Anya with them now, so that she could be with Anya and their child, look over them under his eyes and within the palms of his hands.
Anya was also feeling the same. She felt so bad not being with her son when he was having a fever. She took his hands and brought it to her lips.
‘Baby, Mommy’s here.’
Anya whispered softly to her baby.
In a room, various things were scattered and a bunch of broken pieces were crashed on the floor.
Stell was smashing things one after another. Lily, her mother, hurriedly went to her and tried to calm her down.
“Veronica, calm down!” She held daughter as she was shaking in madness and in tears.
“Why can’t it be me?! Mom, why can’t it be me!” She exclaimed as she stomped her feet in frustration. Just watching Damon and that woman held hands in front of her was enough to make her sick.
She doesn’t really understand why Damon was so interested in her. What does that woman have that she doesn’t have?!
She was just more beautiful than her, but she was elegant and charming, with good birth and noble.
While that woman, aside from beauty, what else does she have? Nothing! She was just a lowly, divorced and slutty woman!
Lily knew that all of this was about Damon again, but she doesn’t have any words to refute her daughter.
She also wanted her daughter to be the wife of the Castellanos, but she feared that with her daughter’s behaviour, she would dig her own grave.
But Veronica, the one she is worrying about, was really thinking of something not good.
