"Mom, I still have to take lots of medicine after the surgery." Cory said weakly, leaning on Rosalynn's shoulder.
"You'll get better eventually," Rosalynn said confidently.
Cory closed his eyes, and true to what psychology says, whether it's physical or emotional pain, being in your mom's arms can give great healing.
He didn't feel so bad now.
"Mom, things don't seem right between you and him." Cory gathered the energy to speak again after a while, "Did he cause the trouble at the company?"
"Boy, adult matters are complicated..."
"So it was him." Cory didn't like how his mom made excuses for that man, "Why? Didn't you guys make up?"
Rosalynn patted his back and said with self-mockery, "We're not okay now... I seem to be useless, never able to handle this relationship with him."
"No!" Cory said decisively, "It's his fault!"
"You're taking your mom's side, huh?" Rosalynn asked with a smile.
"Yeah, my dad can be anyone you choose, but you can only be my mom." Cory said, also gently patting Rosalynn's back, "My sister and I will protect you. Don't be afraid, no one can take us away from you."
Rosalynn's heart tightened.
She hugged Cory even tighter.
Around this time, Ivy's voice calling Granny Hilaria came from outside.
"Granny Hilaria is here," Rosalynn said.
Cory moved a bit, and Rosalynn put him down.
They then walked out together.
Hilaria seemed extremely upset today.
"What's up with those dark circles under your eyes?" she put down her bag, asked Rosalynn gravely, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
