On the day Aaron got engaged to his new girlfriend,the restaurant officially changed from trial operation to full-scale operation,and I received my first salary.
It was a total of 8,000 dollars.
I knew that there was Mrs.Brown's kindness in it.I held a stack of cash in my hand and couldn't help but smile.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.The business of the small restaurant was getting more and more prosperous.I took a day off,stewed a pot of chicken soup,and then took a taxi to the hospital.
Walking in the hospital corridor,a hasty footstep sounded from behind.Then a woman passed by me,taking three steps at a time to the door of the ward.She pushed the door open and rushed in!
There was an angry accusation from the woman in the ward!
"Speak!Speak!Mr.Johnson!Do you dare to tell me what all this is!"
The woman's voice was sharp,and almost everyone on the entire floor heard it.They all stuck their heads out.
"Is this proper!Is this proper!"Mary Johnson put on the airs of an elder and frowned,"Shouting at me!Ordering your husband around!Aren't you ashamed!"
"Me ashamed?"The woman laughed out of anger and threw several printed photos onto Mary Johnson's hospital bed,shouting loudly,"Look and see who's really ashamed!"
Mary Johnson picked up these photos,and her contemptuous expression suddenly disappeared!
"Your son!Your excellent son!"The woman raised her voice,"The good son you hope will carry on the family line had an affair during marriage!And he had an affair with a woman from a place of ill repute with a messy private life!Who's really ashamed!"
In the photos,Aaron and the woman were affectionate,half-naked,and had many ambiguous actions!
Mary Johnson's hand holding the photos was shaking,and her lips visibly lost their color!
"No,it's impossible...Son,you're so excellent.You couldn't possibly like such a low-class woman...You wouldn't..."
Aaron remained silent beside her.It was precisely this silence that completely shattered Mary Johnson!
The woman cursed the mother-son pair,saying they were disgusting.Fortunately,someone had stuffed these photos at her door in the morning.Otherwise,she would have regretted it too late!
"Damn it!Bastard!Fortunately,I didn't sleep with you.Otherwise,I might have gotten sick without even knowing it!So dirty!Go to hell quickly!"
The woman spat and left the ward in disgust,not wanting to stay in this dirty place for even a second longer!
In the ward,Mary Johnson trembled,"S...son...how could you...you couldn't have..."
Now that things had come to this,Aaron took off his long-term disguise and told the truth word by word.
He had never wanted to get married back then,but to satisfy Mary Johnson,he had hastily chosen a woman to marry.
As a result,once when his sister-in-law got drunk at a nightclub and he went to pick her up,he accidentally met that woman...
Mary Johnson was struck like lightning.She couldn't believe that her excellent son,who had always been her pride since childhood,would have a relationship with that kind of woman!
"Then why didn't you have children these years..."
"I promised her!"Aaron said stubbornly,"I promised her that I wouldn't touch other women during the time we were together,including Lily.So I always refused Lily and refused to have children..."
Mary Johnson's face was as white as a sheet.Her precious son had actually remained faithful to that kind of woman for two years?
She felt a faint pain in her heart.At this time,the door of the ward was pushed open again.
I walked in with a thermos bucket.
Both Mary Johnson and Aaron were stunned when they saw me.
It was Mary Johnson who reacted first.She changed her previous attitude and put on a kind smile for me,"Oh,Lily is here.Sit down,sit down quickly..."
After I sat down,Mary Johnson flattered me for a while.I looked coldly at her enthusiastic and fawning behavior.In fact,she just wanted me to remarry Aaron.
After all,there was no second"fool"like me in the Johnson family!
Mary Johnson wanted to quickly put away the photos.I said it was okay,that I had already known about it.
Both Mary Johnson and Aaron were stunned.
"Then...that's great!"Mary Johnson smiled awkwardly at me,"Since Lily knows,then you two should remarry.Aaron will definitely come back to you and cherish you.Lily,come back quickly.Please,for the sake of the family.This family can't do without you..."
I smiled and said,"No."
Mary Johnson was stunned,"What..."
"I said,no,"I opened the thermos bucket and narrowed my eyes meaningfully,"Didn't you ever wonder where those photos came from?"
"You!"Aaron's eyes widened!
"Yes,it was me.And it was also me who made you break up with that woman."
Aaron seemed to have been hit hard all of a sudden and took several steps back!He looked at me like a stranger,a terrifying monster!
I smiled slightly and then poured the chicken soup all over Mary Johnson!
"Ah,ah,ah!"Mary Johnson's scream could lift the roof!
"Mom!How are you!Mom!"
Taking advantage of Aaron's panic,I slapped him without mercy!
"This is what you owe me,Aaron,"I looked at him disdainfully,"You can pay me back slowly in the future!"
In the chaos,I walked out of the ward calmly.
There was a shout from Aaron in the ward!
"Mom!You can't breathe?Mom!Nurse,nurse!My mom's myocardial infarction has flared up!Come quickly!"
The phone rang and interrupted the man.Aaron originally didn't want to answer the phone,but when he saw that it was the director,he had to answer it.
"Hello?Director?No...those photos weren't me...Listen to my explanation...No!I can't lose this job!I..."
I walked out of the hospital.The sky was gray,and fine snowflakes were floating.
From then on,Mary Johnson,Aaron,and my sister-in-law had nothing to do with me.
I was going to start a new life.
