Chapter 224: Allergic?
Maria Julian raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Before this, she was not even allowed to meet with Lauren Torres. Now that she was able to meet with her, she was satisfied now.
“Mom has always missed Lauren Torres. If you’re available, come visit Mom often, okay?”
Lauren Torres nodded in agreement. “Of course, I like Mom’s place.”
After this conversation, the mother-daughter relationship finally became closer.
Knowing that her mother actually liked and missed her, Lauren Torres was very happy.
The two chatted for a while more before they heard a soft knock on the door. Franklin Torres pushed the door open and asked about Maria Julian’s condition. After knowing that she was fine, he said, “We have to go back first. If we stay any longer, we may get stuck in traffic.”
Lauren Torres was a little reluctant to part with her mother so soon. However, there was nothing she could do about it.
“Mom, you have a good rest. I’ll come to visit you again.”
Maria Julian, who was lying on the bed, was also reluctant to part with Lauren Torres. She touched Lauren Torres’s face and nodded.
“Okay, Mom will wait here.”
Then, Lauren Torres walked out of the room and kept turning her head to look behind her.
She went back to her room to pack her things.
When she was packing her things, she saw the little bunny doll that she wanted to give to Maria Julian.
She quickly ran back to Maria Julian’s room with the bunny doll in her arms.
“Mommy!”
As Lauren Torres thought that Maria Julian was in the room alone, she just barged in. She didn’t expect that Sean Torres was inside the room.
Lauren Torres quickly held back her steps as she was worried that Sean Torres would say that she was noisy.
When Maria Julian saw Lauren Torres, she asked gently, “What’s the matter, Lauren?”
Seeing the back of Sean Torres, Laren Torres had thought of running away. However, when she thought that the doll would help Maria Julian sleep well, she plucked up the courage to say to her Mom.
“This is the doll that I specially brought for you.”
Of course, Lauren would not tell about the spell that she cast on the doll. They definitely would not believe it. Probably Sean Torres would think that she was a monster.
“When I sleep with this doll, I will be able to sleep well. So, I want to leave this doll to Mommy so that Mommy can sleep well.”
Lauren Torres did not walk near to the headboard. It was because Sean Torres was sitting on a chair near to the headboard with his back facing her. She did not dare to go over.
Therefore, she gently placed the doll at the end of the bed.
“I’m leaving now.”
“Bye, Lauren.”
Lauren Torres nodded and left the room.
After getting in the car, Lauren Torres turned around to look at the small villa.
She was nervous when she came and was feeling a bit sad when she left..
Lauren Torres and Quinn Torres were sitting in the back seat. Ever since Bryce Torres got into the passenger seat, he had put on his earphones, closed his eyes, and not talked to anyone.
Lauren Torres did not speak either. She was thinking about something.
In the room just now, she took the opportunity to check Maria Julian’s pulse because Dr. Wentworth was a western doctor. Since he could not find the cause of Maria Julian’s illness from a western doctor’s point of view, Lauren Torres had to check Maria Julian’s pulse.
It looked like Maria Julian had an allergic reaction.
Some people were allergic to peanuts or mangoes. After eating these, their tongues would swell up, affecting their breathing.
“Brother, is Mom allergic to any food?”
Franklin Torres replied while driving, “I don’t think so. I have never heard of it for so many years. Why did you suddenly ask about it?”
Lauren Torres gave a random excuse and continued to immerse herself in her thoughts.
Since she was not allergic to food, it was possible that she had encountered something or smelled something.
Lauren Torres recalled that everything was normal this morning. There was nothing special about it.
She leaned her head against the car window. Franklin Torres drove very smoothly and she did not feel any bumps.
Was it really because of her physique? Was she a jinx to her mother?
With this idea all the way back, Lauren Torres was a little sad.
She must have a good ask after going back. She would check whether there was a problem with her physique.
But Little Nine had said before that she was born with an emperor birth chart. It was supposed to be pure Yang Energy which would bring good luck and good health to people.
Sigh, I really couldn’t figure it out.
When they got off the highway, Bryce Torres finally spoke, “I’m not going back, just send me straight to school.”
Thomas Johnson High School was a boarding school. Normally students would go home on Sunday nights for self-study.
However, if Bryce Torres went home, he would usually only go on Monday mornings.
