"You won't leave me?" Patricia asked in tears.
"Mm-hmm." Ryan nodded.
"You’re not angry at me anymore?"
"Not anymore," said Ryan.
"Son..." Patricia cried. Ryan also cried.
At that moment, Ryan’s phone had actually been vibrating. However, he did not have the time to answer it. He did not even take a look at who was calling him. He just held his mother's hand while feeling incredibly remorseful.
"Ryan, take good care of your mother. Jane and I will go back now. We'll come and visit your mother again tomorrow," Alex said to Ryan from behind him.
Ryan did not look back, and he only nodded.
Alex then said to Austin, "Austin, we'll first send mom and dad home. Don't worry about things at home. If you need anything here in the hospital, you can also call me a s soon as possible. Nothing else matters now. What's important is that Patricia has t o recover well."
Austin nodded and sighed. "Mm-hmm. You may first go home, then."
"Alright. Call her then," said Alex.
Jane took out her phone and dialed Ruth's number. The line was unexpectedly engaged.
On the other end of the line, Ruth had been calling Ryan's phone over and over again. However, Ryan never answered. Ruth felt incredibly worried. Could it be that Ryan had changed his mind? Could it be that his love changed once he returned home to that atmosphere? It most probably was true because Ryan also loved his mother very much. He was a very caring son. Ruth did not blame Ryan. If he were a person who does not even love and care for his own mother, she wouldn’t have loved him.
However, Ruth slowly was covered in tears when she could not reach Ryan's phone.
It was right at that moment that Jane's call came in. Once Ruth saw the caller ID, she felt even more dejected. However, she was also incredibly determined. She had already made up her mind that she would accept it no matter what the outcome was. She would bravely accept it. From then on, she would brave the storm on her own. After she answered the call, she asked calmly, "Jane, is the Poole family asking Ryan to divorce me? I accept."
