Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: People Always Change
"Rest well in the hospital, I’ll come to see you later."
Oliver Hudson stood up straight again, then turned and left the ward.
Annie Anne stared at the white bedsheet, suffused with fresh blood.
Where was there any redemption...
It was just mutual torment between two madmen.
Oliver Hudson, do we seem to have returned to the past?
The sound of the ward door being pushed open again brought Annie Anne back from her daze.
Charlotte Thompson and Olivia Thompson walked in side by side; both noticed the glass shards on the floor, which made Olivia Thompson rush worriedly to Annie Anne’s bedside and almost lose her balance and fall.
This also made her see the blood dripping beside the bed.
"Mummy!" Olivia Thompson looked worriedly at Annie Anne, carefully checking if any of her wounds had opened up.
But Annie Anne shook her head and softly said, "Mummy isn’t hurt, this is... this is from when Oliver Hudson accidentally broke a glass and cut himself."
Although listening to Annie Anne’s explanation, Olivia Thompson’s eyes still reddened.
Annie Anne quickly reached out and playfully touched her little nose: "Annie, darling, don’t cry, or Mummy will feel sad and painful."
Olivia Thompson took a deep breath and straightened her back, "Annie won’t cry, Annie won’t make Mummy hurt anymore."
Charlotte Thompson glanced at Annie Anne’s expression on the hospital bed and placed the washed fruit beside her.
Originally wanting to ask about Oliver Hudson, she ultimately caught the words in her throat, Charlotte Thompson just turned to clean up the glass shards on the floor.
The smell of the disinfectant in the ward was really strong, Charlotte Thompson walked to the window and opened a small crack.
In fact, Charlotte Thompson had been observing Annie Anne’s expression and took the initiative to lead Olivia Thompson out of the ward.
She didn’t know what Annie Anne and Oliver Hudson had discussed.
But when she came in and saw Annie Anne’s expression, she just felt incredibly unfamiliar.
"You really run to the hospital every other day, don’t you?"
Seemingly feeling the atmosphere in the ward was too oppressive, Charlotte Thompson spoke up, feigning lightness to make a joke.
"Should I contact the director, buy some shares of the hospital? Maybe next time I’m admitted, I can waive the hospital fees."
Annie Anne naturally continued with Charlotte Thompson’s words, smiling.
"Quickly take back those words."
Charlotte Thompson glanced at Annie Anne and, seeing an empty vase on the shelf, picked up the champagne roses ready to place them inside.
But the moment Charlotte Thompson raised her hand, Annie Anne already voiced a stop.
"Don’t put them in, I don’t like them."
Charlotte Thompson looked puzzled, "I thought your favorite were champagne roses."
"Really?" Annie Anne blinked, "People always change, don’t they? I think I now prefer yellow tulips."
Charlotte Thompson lowered her gaze and put the roses aside.
Turning around, she saw Olivia Thompson pick up an apple and a fruit knife nearby, seemingly preparing to peel the apple for Annie Anne, which startled Charlotte Thompson enough to swiftly envelop Olivia Thompson in her arms and took the knife from her hand.
"Annie, let Mummy do it."
Olivia Thompson peeked out from Charlotte Thompson’s arms, then picked up the washed grapes.
"Mummy, have some grapes."
Annie Anne’s face was full of smiles, and before she could pinch a grape, Olivia Thompson had already brought the grape to her lips.
"Mummy’s Annie is so good!"
Annie Anne ate the grape; the sour taste exploded in her mouth, spreading sweetly and richly at the pit of her heart.
Watching the warm interaction between mother and daughter, Charlotte Thompson curved her lips into a smile.
