Chapter 47: Hard choice

I didn't care what Enzo was feeling or thinking but quickly ran out of this place and took a taxi to the hospital. My heart fluttered and I couldn't calmly think about anything. I nervously opened the phone, and the first person that appeared in the phone book was Roy, I quickly called him.

Roy quickly picked up the phone after only two rings. He urgently asked:

"Flora, where are you, I've been looking for you for a long time but I can't contact you."

This is not the time to inquire about these things, nor am I in the mood to answer. I urgently say:

“Roy, go to hospital X, Rollo is in there. I'm on my way there."

When Roy heard that, he was startled and said:

“What, what's wrong with Rollo? Why is the boy in the hospital? Flora, what the hell is going on with you?"

I was neither in the mood nor calm enough to answer his questions. I just said:

"I'll tell you about this when I go to the hospital." then I hung up, I breathed heavily, why am I still so weak right now?

Enzo hasn't changed in years and neither have I, although I don't look silly and have to work hard like before, I still haven't been able to face the hard things. Even when my son was abused by Enzo, I could only cry and protest weakly.

If I could have been stronger, my son wouldn't have been hit by that bastard and had to be hospitalized. I'm sorry, I swear I'll make Enzo pay with his life.

“Enzo, you are such an asshole.”

When I got to the hospital, Roy was already there and beside Rollo, who giggled at Roy's jokes. The scene in front of me made me feel much more secure and relieved, I adjusted my mood and gently wiped away the tears still in the corners of my eyes.

“Rollo, how are you feeling?”

Rollo saw me, he hugged me tightly, after a while he said:

“Yesterday, I hurt a lot, this place hurts. It hurt a lot, but the other doctor gave me medicine, so the pain is gone.”

The innocent words of a child made me feel heartbroken, I looked at Rollo's wound just on his stomach, it was bruised but not too deep and clear. But it was enough to make me want to run to kill Enzo who made my son like this. Roy still didn't know what was going on, he asked:

“Flora, what happened to you and Rollo?”

Roy's gentle question and worried expression made me feel guilty and restless. I glanced at Rollo who was drawing in the notebook that Roy came to, I looked at Roy and whispered:

"I'll tell you later."

Roy also seemed to realize that I didn't want to tell everything in front of Rollo so he nodded and said:

"Okay, we'll talk later. The important thing now is that Rollo is better.”

I sighed in relief, if Roy wasn't here I wouldn't be this calm. I say:

“Please stay here and play with Rollo. I will go to the doctor to check on the baby's health. I'll be back soon."

Roy nodded and continued to talk to Rollo, the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the two made me feel a warmth that I had never felt when I was with Enzo. I don't want to compare Roy with Enzo but being around Enzo I feel suffocated and difficult to get close to even though we were once husband and wife.

The man in the Blouse shirt holding a notepad in his hand, when he saw me approaching, he respectfully greeted me:

“Madam, you have arrived.”

"Don't call me 'madam' I don't have any relationship with Enzo." I coldly affirmed.

The doctor, confused as to how to respond, only hesitated to talk about Rollo's health.

“In terms of the boy's health, no organ damage or anything affecting his health is just…. it's just that the bruise on the belly will probably take a while to go away. Don't worry, just apply and take the medicine I have prescribed and the bruise will surely disappear quickly."

I nodded, then accepted the note from him. Looking at his awkward look, I didn't want to make it difficult and didn't ask any more questions. This doctor is also one of Enzo's subordinates, so all the information and the situation of me and Rollo and the whole family. Roy will all be reported to Enzo. So I don't want to talk too much or ask too much of all the doctors and nurses in this hospital.

Rollo can be discharged today, of course, even if the doctor does not discharge him, I will not leave him here for even a second.

While waiting for the nurse to help with the discharge procedure for Rollo, Roy asked me:

“Flora, now you should tell me what happened. Why was Rollo injured and hospitalized?”

I breathed heavily at Roy's nervous and urgent expression and began to say:

"Enzo thought Rollo was my son with someone else so he got angry."

Roy clenched his fists angrily.

"So he hit Rollo?"

I didn't want to make everything that was already misunderstood even more misunderstood, so I shook my head and said:

“It wasn't that he intended to hit Rollo, but while he and I were fighting, Rollo was labor He came to protect me so he…” I didn't want to say more, and I'm sure Roy would have understood by this.

Roy says:

"He misunderstands that Rollo is your child and mine?"

When I heard that, I nodded softly and said:

"Maybe so."

"Why don't you explain it to him?" Roy was a little reluctant to ask me.

I noticed the reluctance in his words and expressions, and even though Roy asked that I felt as if Roy didn't want me to explain anything to Enzo. I'm not sure if that's what Roy wants because that's just my speculation.

I shook my head and said:

“I don't want, if he knew, Rollo would become the rope that binds me to him. Roy, I can't understand why Enzo is so stubborn, what does he want from me anyway. I have nothing for him to take away nice take advantage. Then why?"

Roy listens to me silently, I always feel guilty that I have messed things up like this but I don't want to live like a coward and stupid person like before. I don't expect Min to forgive a bad mother like me, I just hope she understands my suffering.

When I'm abroad, I never forget Min for a second, articles and articles praising her are saved, and often re-read them and look at Min's pictures, that's all. can ease my daughter's nostalgia.

After a while of silence, Roy suddenly asked:

"Do you still love him?"

This question surprised me, I looked up at Roy, he was still smiling gently waiting for me to answer. I was about to answer when the horrible image of Enzo last night with my son flashed in my mind, and I immediately shook my head:

"I haven't loved him for a long time."

When Roy heard that, he suddenly smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said:

“I told you, I feel more secure.”

I don't understand the meaning of Roy's statement. The nurse came and said:

“The discharge procedure has been completed, you can take the boy home. Please come back next time.”

I took the paper she gave me and nodded. Roy carried Rollo and walked out of the hospital with me, but before I reached the hospital gate, I met Enzo holding Min's hand and waiting outside for me.

Enzo looked at me coldly but said nothing and then he glanced at Roy holding Rollo, the two hostile men's gazes at each other making the air tense and confusing me. Min saw me call out loud to break the tension.

"MOM! Mom's back." Min ran up to me and hugged me tightly, crying non-stop.

I sat down and hugged her tightly, the corners of my eyes were also red and I couldn't help but cry with Min. For years I could only see her through pictures and articles, my emotions burst when I saw her. Min standing in front of me.

I stroked Min's beautiful face, she was very similar to Enzo so this beauty was also completely inherited from him. After many years without seeing it, Min has grown older and no longer has the chubby features when he was young. Min clung to my shirt and raised her sparkling eyes to ask me:

“Mom, why did you leave for so long, don't you miss me? Why is my mother coming back now? Is it possible that my mother stopped loving me so she didn't need me anymore?"

My heart ached when I heard Min's words, I didn't expect her to think of me like that. I shook my head and said:

“No, it's not that I'm not good, it's my fault. I'm sorry, Mom."

Min was still clutching the corner of my shirt, I could feel her trembling.

Enzo frowned slightly at me, he said:

"Okay, let's get in the car."

It was only now that I noticed what Enzo was here for, he gave Roy and Rollo a hostile look. I can't go with him and Min because now Rollo needs me by his side. I softly said to Min:

“Min, go back to your father first. I'll come to see you soon."

Min still grabbed the corner of my shirt, saying:

“NO, you lied, you said the same thing before and then you left and didn't come back. If you don't come with me today, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Min's words surprised me because the tone and meaning in the sentence were identical to Enzo's. I didn't have time to react to this Rollo hugged my leg and pushed Min away shouting:

“You want to leave my mother! You can't take my mother away. I don't allow it, let go of your hand."

The two children did not accept anyone and continued to scream, attracting the attention of many people around. I didn't know what to do other than to gently comfort them, the two children who didn't get what they wanted to be started crying louder.

Roy, like me, was confused and wanted to hold Rollo, but he hugged my leg and wouldn't let go. And Enzo just stood silently watching without expression.

Min and Rollo both need me by their side I can't choose between them both. I made a huge mistake with Min and I can't make the mistake again, but Rollo needs me by her side to take care of me. Now I'm like a red rope in the middle of a big rope and they're playing tug of war.

After a while, I still couldn't separate the two children, seeing their pitiful crying and pitiful looks made me very sad. I didn't miss letting either one gets hurt.

Enzo seemed to have lost his patience, he said annoyed:

“Make your decision, Flora, you can only choose one side.”

I pursed my lips, furiously looking at Enzo's indifferent expression. By the time Enzo brought Min here I understood his intentions. It's funny how I already knew his intentions but still couldn't solve them.

I took a deep breath, picked up Rollo and took Min's small hand, looked at Roy, and said:

“You go ahead. I can take good care of Rollo.”

Roy frowned, I knew Roy didn't want to but he probably understood my pain but he didn't say a word either. When Enzo heard my words, he smiled proudly at Roy as if he were the victor.
