After hearing that, the server breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over, and waved to let Helen up. Helen saw the signal and rushed forward in three steps but was stunned when she saw Lily and Lisa.
She immediately turned her attention to Mike, saying, "Mike, I went to the hospital and discovered that you brought Nick home. Why didn’t you tell me about the discharge? Do you know how worried I was about him?!"
"Since you can see that he’s okay now, you can go," Mike said without any particular expression.
Helen failed to convince Mike, so she looked at the child instead, "Nick, thank goodness you’re okay! Do you know how worried I was? It was all my fault! I’m so sorry! Are you feeling better now? Do you want me to accompany you and take care of you?”
She opened her arms to hug Nick as she spoke. Lily glanced over, seeing Nick subconsciously avoid his mother’s hug. His body naturally moved back.
"You don't need to take care of him. Just stay away from him," Mike said unceremoniously.
"Mike, how can you do this? I am the child’s mother, no matter what! You can't deprive me of my right to be a mother!"
He sneered and replied, "Really? Do you honestly want to do your part as a mother?"
"Of course!" Helen replied without hesitation.
Nodding his head, Mike said, "Okay, then I'll give you this chance now."
Before waiting for Helen to rush over, he said, "Nick belongs to you from today onward. I can apply to the court to transfer the custody rights to you. I will pay you alimony monthly and pay for his schooling until he reaches adulthood. However, don't even think about getting anything else from me. What do you think?"
Helen was quiet and disgusted while Nick, next to him, nervously grabbed the corner of Mike's clothes. Nick lowered his eyes and looked pitiful.
