“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re a family, so you don’t have to be so polite,” Victoria looked at Maxina, “If someone needed to say thank you, I should be the one thanking you for raising such a good daughter.”
She gave a daughter to Cormac Mendelsohn.
She also gave birth to children for Cormac.
Maxina Lennon was younger than Victoria Forbis, but she looked much older. When Maxina was young, she didn’t find a good place to live at and she suffered a lot. When she came back, she chose to embark on a path that took her to a point of no return.
When Victoria was young, life was not easy for her either, but at least she was taken care of after she married Jayden Mendelsohn.
She was happy if compared to Maxina.
Now that her son had a family and children, she had no regrets for the rest of her life.
“Go in quickly, don’t let them wait for you” Victoria said thoughtfully.
At that time, Maxina should be very impatient to see the two children.
Loredana Flores also agreed, “Mom, let’s go in.”
Maxina nodded.
Victoria didn’t follow in, but went out alone. It should not be easy for Maxina to meet the two children, after all, she was not free.
When Cormac met Victoria face to face for the first time, she didn’t seem without any redeeming quality.
Her mistake was marrying Jayden at the wrong moment.
He withdrew.
The door opened. The two children were in the living room. Maybe Victoria told them that Maxina was going to visit them, so they were waiting impatiently. When they saw Maxina, the children pounced at her at the same time.
“Grandma, I miss you so much.” One of the children held her leg and rubbed his cheek on the leg.
Maxina’s eyes were filled with tears, she looked down at the two children and caressed their heads, “Grandma misses you too.”
The two children were well taken care of, they seemed to become taller, especially Samuel Flores, who looked handsome like Cormac.
Simona Flores was more similar to Loredana.
She tried to pick up the two children but she realized that they were too big for her to hold.
Samuel took her hand, “Grandma, come in fast.”
Simona complained, “Grandma, why did you take so long to come to see us? Did you forget us?”
Maxina smiled and touched her face, “How could I forget you? When you were a child, grandma held you and raised you. When you were born, you were big like this.” Maxina made a gesture with her hand. “Now you grew up like a kitten. I can’t even pick you up.”
Simona grinned and pestered Maxina, “Grandma always prepares me a lot of things that I like to eat. I’m a little plump.”
That little girl pinched her cheek.
Maxina looked at Simona’s face. It looked like that of a porcelain doll, very attractive. Her big and brilliant black eyes were so lovely.
It seemed that they were all well taken care of.
She looked deeply at the two children, “Grandma is very happy to see that you are living so well!”
Simona nestled in her arms, “It’s so big here, Grandma can come here to live with us.”
She was stunned and at that moment, her heartbeat was an half beat slower.
If she hadn’t been hated and lost her mind, now she would have lived together with the children and see them growing up.
She didn’t even regret to see Loredana crying.
But seeing the two children, she regretted to have been so impulsive.
She held Simona into her arms. She really would like to stay with them and see them growing up.
“Grandma, I give you this to eat.” Samuel knew that Maxina liked bananas, so he peeled one and gave it to her.
Maxina took it over and also hugged Samuel.
She was very sad, but she tried her best to endure it and not to cry in front of the children.
Loredana was still on the entrance and didn’t move. She looked at Maxina and the children with a heavy heart.
Cormac hugged her and rubbed her arm softly, “It will get better.”
She was sentenced for accidental injury, so a few years ago, when the heat was on, she couldn’t avoid going to jail. After a while, she got a reduced sentence for good behaviour, so after two years she would be free.
Loredana just prayed that Maxina could go out of prison in good health and after she would still have many days left.
She leaned into Cormac’s arms, her face pressed against his chest and her arms around his waist. “I like you so much.” For the first time, she was so forthright.
Cormac bowed his head and kissed and rubbed her forehead.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed that moment.
From the transparent tiles, Maxina saw their figures standing together in the entrance, and twitched the corners of her lips.
She was happy for Loredana.
Cormac was mature and steady and he had a successful career. He was suitable for Loredana, so she felt relieved knowing that Loredana and him were together.
Maxina and the two children stayed together for more than two hours. Loredana checked the time, the hospital would close after a while, so it was too late today. So she went out and interrupted Maxina and the two children, “That’s all for today.”
Samuel looked at Loredana, “Does Grandma have to go again?”
Loredana didn’t have time to explain, so Maxina spoke firstly, “Grandma has to go to a far place and won’t take time to come back. I came to see you today to say goodbye to you.”
“Can Grandma not leave?” Simona said, pulling the clothes of Maxina.
Maxina looked down at Simona and kissed her forehead, holding her face. “Grandma will miss you but she must leave. It’s necessary, just like Simona who has to go to school soon.” Simona didn’t understand what she meant, but she didn’t want Maxina to go, for fear of not seeing her again.
When she was a kid, Maxina hugged her a lot so she felt good about that.
“Simona and Samuel, you have to listen to your mother from now.” Maxina looked at the two children.
