Chapter 223: Life-Saving Pill
Then, Franklin Torres glanced at his watch and said, “But we have to hurry. We can’t stay for dinner tonight. It’ll take more than two hours to go back. We still have to go to work and school tomorrow.”
Lauren Torres nodded again.
Knowing that Lauren Torres was feeling down, Franklin Torres didn’t say much and let her rest alone.
It took more than an hour for Maria Julian to wake up.
Sean Torres fed her some medicine and talked to her for a while before he told Franklin Torres to bring Lauren Torres over.
When they went to Maria Julian’s room, Sean Torres was gone.
Lauren Torres was a little depressed. Didn’t Dad want to see her anymore?
“Lauren, come over quickly.”
Maria Julian’s weak voice rang out, calling out to Lauren Torres.
Lauren Torres hurriedly ran over.
Maria Julian had recovered but Lauren Torres still felt a lingering fear when she recalled Maria Julian had suddenly felt suffocated in the living room.
At that moment, Lauren Torres was really frightened.
Maria Julian’s lips were still pale. But when she saw Lauren Torres, she revealed a smile.
“I scared me just now, didn’t I?”
Maria Julian reached out her left hand and caressed Lauren Torres’s cheek. Lauren Torres also held Maria Julian’s hand in her fleshy hands.
Maria Julian’s hand was very cold, probably because she had just received an IV drip.
Lauren Torres held her hand tightly, trying to convey some warmth.
“Are you okay now, Mom?”
“I’m fine.” Maria Julian coughed slightly before she continued. “Mom’s health isn’t that good, to begin with. Don’t overthink about it. I’ll be fine after I rest well.”
Despite her condition, Maria Julian still comforted her. Tears that had stopped started to roll down again. Lauren Torres did not expect she could cry so quickly.
“You said it! Then you have to rest well and get well soon. I’m still waiting for you to do my homework with me.”
Maria Julian nodded. “Yes, of course. Mom still wants to do a lot of homework with you.”
Maria Julian raised her hand to wipe away Lauren Torres’s tears.
“Don’t cry. A girl’s tears are pearls. They’re very precious. You can’t drop pearls so easily.”
Maria Julian held onto Maria Julian’s hand tightly. It was as if she had just survived a disaster.
“For Mom’s sake, I can drop as many pearls as you want.”
“You silly child.”
Maria Julian smiled. Lauren Torres smiled as well.
Then Lauren Torres took out a small red box from her pocket dimension. The box was not big, only about the size of a ring box.
She placed the box in front of Maria Julian. Maria Julian asked curiously, “What’s this?”
“This is my treasure.”
Lauren Torres opened the small red box and there was a small golden pill.
Upon closer inspection, the pill seemed to glow with a golden light. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary pill.
Maria Julian looked at Lauren Torres and asked, “This is…”
Lauren Torres did not answer Maria Julian’s question first. Instead, she asked, “Mom, do you believe in me?”
Maria Julian did not know why Lauren Torres suddenly asked this question, but she still nodded.
“Of course I do. You’re my daughter. How could I not believe in you?”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lauren Torres said, “This small golden pill is a small pill that can save lives.”
“A life-saving pill?”
Maria Julian did not think what Tang Lanlan said was something out of the ordinary. Instead, she gently picked up the small pill with her fingers.
She did not know if it was an illusion or something else, but she really felt that the pill was glowing.
“Of course,” Lauren Torres nodded and continued to explain to Maria Julian. “If anything happens to Mom in the future, no matter what it is, as long as you take this small pill, you will immediately recover. Therefore, Mom, you must take this small pill with you at all times.”
Maria Julian nodded seriously when she saw the serious expression on Lauren Torres’s face. She then stuffed the small box under her pillow.
“Mom will definitely treasure this pill.”
“You must. Let’s do a pinky swear.”
After the two of them did the pinky swear, Lauren Torres finally felt relieved. She lay in front of Maria Julian’s bed and told her what she was thinking.
“I thought Mom wouldn’t want to see me again.”
“How could that be? You silly girl.”
Maria Julian’s heart ached as she looked at Lauren Torres’s head.
How could she not miss her child all these years? However, after marrying into the Torres family, there were many things that she could not choose for herself. The children that she gave birth to were not only her children. They were also descendants of the Torres family.
