"Then she gave birth to the baby." Saying this, Drorit looked at him, "It's Arvis. You have seen him, right?" As she said this, she sighed with emotions, "Speaking of which, Arvis really looks like you."
Isaac nodded in silence.
He was a maelstrom of churning emotions inside.
"Arvis was a premature baby. He was born when he was only seven months old. He was thin and small, just like a cat. We were afraid that we couldn't keep him alive. Besides, Alaina was weak at that time. She always cried and her mood got more and more terrible. Avon said that she suffered from postpartum depression. I didn't understand what it is."
"Fortunately, she slowly recovered and was able to hold Arvis and coax him. Then, she liked to smile. We lived like that day by day. Arvis was small, so it was better for Alaina to raise him in person. She said that she wanted to work and make money, but she was so thin, so Rhory and I didn't want her to work. She agreed with us later, so she looked after the child at home and made meals for us. Sometimes when we were busy, she delivered fishes for us."
"Anyway." Drorit said guiltily, "She came to our house. Mr. Bai, as you can see, my family is poor, and I didn't let her live a good life. I..."
She glanced at Isaac with embarrassment and immediately looked away. "She didn't remember her past and didn't even know where she came from, so I didn't know if she had any family members. Although she was pregnant, we couldn't know who the child's father was even if we wanted to ask her. I didn't know if she was married and if Arvis's father was alive. If his father was alive, I couldn't know where he was."
"But she couldn't remember all these. Maybe she will never remember her past. After she gave birth to Arvis, Rhory and I wanted her to look for her family, but she said that there was no need to do so. She said that you would find her if you were fated."
"But as time went by, Arvis grew up day by day. The neighbors would occasionally gossip about her, and I knew it. Later, I told her to find a father for Arvis, and she agreed."
When Isaac heard this, he frowned hard all of a sudden and felt as if his heart was being pulled up by something. He stared at Drorit but couldn't blame her. That kind of feeling was too terrible.
Drorit smiled awkwardly, "She met that man indeed, but they didn't reach an agreement. At that time, Rhory and I went fishing, and Alaina didn't want to leave Arvis alone at home, so she took Arvis there. But the man said..."
She did not finish her words, but from her expression and tone, Isaac could guess the reason why Adele failed to get married.
At this moment, he was extremely conflicted in heart.
On the one hand, he was glad that Adele didn't get married. Otherwise, she and Arvis might be living with another man at this time. On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel angry. How dared that man dislike his son?
"Later, Alaina told me that she wanted to takeArvisto live in another city and find a job, so that Arvis could receive good education in the big city. Arvis should go to school soon. But... later, she had to go to A City because of Avon. Rhory and I are uncultured, so we had to bother her. I didn't expect that Alaina could meet you."
Isaac nodded blandly, "Mm."
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a period. Mr. Bai, Alaina and Arvis are with you now. Are they all right? How about Arvis? He has become taller, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, they are fine. Don't worry."
"Mr. Bai." Drorit rubbed her hands, "Alaina lived a poor life in the past few years. Now that you've met her, I think she must have found her parents. In the future, I hope... you will treat her well."
Isaac nodded in agreement, "I will."
Hymen quickly entered the house, took out a few stacks of money and handed it to Drorit and Rhory.
Drorit was surprised and flustered, "Well... Mr. Bai?"
"Please accept it. I don't have any other intentions. Thank you for taking care of Adele and Arvis in the past few years. Since you're her godparents, you're also my family members. She... said that you're always on the run all year round. This time, I came here in a hurry, so I didn’t bring you anything. Please take the money to buy some tonics or something to eat."
After refusing for a while, Drorit had to take the money and then saw off Isaac and Hymen with Rhory.
The car was parked on the side of the road. It would take another four to five minutes to walk to the road from the He family.
"Mr. Bai..." Hymen said with hesitation when they were about to arrive, but he didn't know what to say.
Although he was outside the door when Issac talked to them, the brick house in the countryside was not soundproof, so he naturally heard their conversation.
Isaac did not say anything and walked forward in silence.
As soon as he arrived at the side of the car, he reached out to open the car door. Before the door was opened, he suddenly trembled, coughed twice and spat out a big mouthful of blood.
"Poof!" "Mr. Bai?"
