Wesley and Sydney returned to Reba''s house. As soon as they walked in, they saw the ce bustling with activity; the servants were busy cleaning.
Reba was directing them.
"Move the table over there," she instructed. "That vase doesn''t look good here; put it over there."
With a crash, a maid identally knocked over a vase and started crying.
"Oh, dear. How could you be so careless?" Reba stepped forward. "You need to be more careful next time."
"I''m so sorry, Madam Jarvis. I''m really sorry."
"Alright, are you hurt?"
"No."
"Then that''s fine. Just clean it up and be more careful next time."
"Okay, Madam Jarvis."
Although Reba''s tone was a bit stern, she didn''t hold it against the maid and didn''t make her pay for the vase.
Seeing his mother bustling around, Wesley walked in. "Mom, what''s going on?"
"Cleaning the house. Can''t you tell?"
Wesley looked around. "Why are you cleaning today?"
"Do I need to pick a special day to clean?" Rebaughed. "Wesley, what are you doing back here? Didn''t youe by yesterday?" Wesley was slightly taken aback that his mother remembered his visit.
"Sydney, you''re here too." Reba approached her with a smile, taking her hand. "Come see. Do you like how I''ve arranged everything?"
"Mom." Sydney looked at her, noting how vibrant Reba seemed, unlike how Wesley had described.
"What''s wrong?" Reba smiled warmly at her. "Do you have something to tell me?"
"I..." Sydney suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
"Did Wesley bully you again?" Reba released Sydney''s hand and moved to Wesley, her
expression serious. "Have you been picking on Sydney again? How many times have I told you not to?"
"Mom, I didn''t bully her," Wesley quickly defended himself.
"Mom, he hasn''t bullied me." Sydney stepped forward. "We just came to see how you''ve been doingtely."
"I''m doing well, very well! It''s rare for you two to care about me. Today just felt like it, so I asked everyone to clean the house inside and out, and to put some fresh flowers and nts around to liven things up."
"Yeah, Mom, that sounds nice." Sydney put on a light smile.
Reba continued to busy herself, directing the servants and even helping out.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
Sydney stepped in front of Wesley, giving him a cold stare. "Is this what you meant by what you told me?"
Wesley looked at his mother; today, she seemed perfectly fine, unlike the forgetful woman he had seen yesterday.
"Sydney, I''m not lying to you! My mom wasn''t like this yesterday."
Sydney clearly didn''t believe him. "You''re just trying to drag this out. You don''t want a divorce, do you?"
Her voice was low, as if she feared Reba might overhear.
"Sydney, I really didn''t! I swear, if I''m lying—"
"I don''t want to hear your swearing Sydney interrupted him. "I''m so done with this. Let''s settle this in court. I just need to say goodbye to your mom."
With that, she walked toward Reba.
"Mom."
"Hmm?" Reba turned around. "What''s wrong?"
"I just remembered I have some banking issues to take care of, so I''ll—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Reba suddenly copsed in front of her.
"Mom!" Sydney rushed to catch her. "Mom, what''s wrong?"
Wesley ran over as well. "Mom!"
The two of them quickly lifted Reba into the car, and rushed to the hospital.
