Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 107

"Jenna, you're here," she parted her chapped lips and spoke with a hoarse voice. There were also dark circles around her eyes.

However, soon, her eyes were fixed on one person, and didn't move away for a long time.

"Mom." Hansen greeted her eyes with a slightly apologetic smile, then spoke warmly.

Mom? Did he just address her as his mom? Jenna was surprised; his voice was so natural and warm, it even made her suspect that it was not from him.

Anyway, she was already grateful to Hansen for agreeing to keep their marriage a secret from her mother, but she had never expected him to call Sara 'mom.'

Now he greeted Sara so naturally and Jenna felt his sincerity. At least he honored his promise and tried to fulfill it.

However, Sara just stared at him. She did not respond nor look away for quite some time.

She did not look surprised at all, there wasn't hope at all in her eyes; they were lifeless even with a hint of death. Her gaze made Hansen feel guilty, and the guilt and self-reproach in his heart made him feel very uneasy.

Knowing the underlying meaning of the gaze and withstanding the nerves in his heart, he put the supplements and flowers on the bedside table, then reached out and put his arm around the shoulders of the crying Jenna. He whispered, "Jenna, is mom okay? Why are you so sad? Are you trying to make your mother sadder with this look? Now that the source of the kidney is being identified, everything will get better soon so be happy, will you?"

Even though he said that, he still felt uncomfortable. After all, it was the first time that he addressed the woman in front of him as "Mom" ever since he got married. He had never come to visit this

nominal mother- in- law before. Therefore, Sara might not have a good impression of him either.

However, his words reminded Jenna who was feeling sad.

She quickly wiped her tears away and displayed a sweet and relaxed smile, then said to Sara, "Mom, cheer up. Hansen has been searching for kidneys in the world after learning of your illness, and now he has finally found one. With the kidney, Mom, your illness will be cured soon, so you must be strong and don't waste Hansen's effort. We really need to thank him for his efforts!"

Jenna's tone was cheerful and relaxed, and she sounded very happy, as if her marriage with Hansen was harmonious and affectionate.

"Mom, I'm sorry that I could not visit you earlier. I have been too busy during this period of time, so please forgive me." Hansen's face was ashamed, and he took the opportunity to speak.

But Sara's face didn't have too much expression.

She was not a fool. Her daughter had been married to him for years but had he ever fulfilled the responsibilities of a son- in- law? She was not demanding more from him, but he could not even do the least as a son-in-law.

She had been in bed all these days. Although Aunt Lee deliberately concealed things about Jenna, she had learned from the news media that her daughter had been living unhappily after marrying him, and... they had divorced.

This huge blow completely crushed her.

Knowing that her daughter was trying her best to hide the truth from her, she also pretended not to know anything, but such a blow completely crushed her confidence. Her love for her husband and her worry for her daughter caused her to suffer from depression, and her illness started to deteriorate over time.

Now that she suffered from kidney disease, she no longer cared anymore as she had lost all hope.

At that moment, Rayan came over to accompany her. Although he didn't say anything, she saw Rayan's sincerity. Rayan was not inferior to Hansen at all. What was more important was that he loved her daughter and would treat her daughter well. If her daughter managed to find a good husband, she would be happy for her.

But it did not work out as she had hoped. The person her daughter loved was still Hansen. She knew her daughter's thoughts as her mother. The truth was really painful for her to swallow. Her husband was already no longer around, and the only daughter she had was in an unhappy marriage.

"Oh my girl, why are you being such a fool?" Tears slowly fell from her closed eyes, and she tilted her head to one side.

"Mom, you have to stay happy. Now that the kidney is ready and the surgery will be done soon, everything is moving in the right direction. However, the key is that you have to be happy, optimistic, and follow the instructions from the doctor. You will get well soon," Jenna held Sara's hand tightly and said seriously. "Mom, you are my closest relative in this world. You can't leave me behind. How am I supposed to live without you?"

Jenna choked up again when she said this.

Sara's gaze slowly moved to Jenna. She held Jenna's hand with her pale hands, and she held it firmly, with love in her eyes.

"Jenna, I'm fine. I'm already this age so I guess it's alright for me to go and accompany your father instead. However, you are the one whom I'm most worried about." Her voice trembled, and her face was full of melancholy.

"No, mother, you are still young. You are my only family member. You must be cured. You can't go. What will I do without you? You can't leave me!" Jenna's heart was aching. She held Sara's hands even tighter and she could no longer restrain herself from crying.

"Jenna, don't say that. Don't worry, I'm here." Hansen frowned. Some women were sentimental and emotional at times. Sara was already in this state and instead of forcing a smile, she cried even more to provoke her mom's sadness. He then hugged her tightly, lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Jenna immediately came to her senses, flashed a smile, and said, "Mom, you lie down first. I will go to the bathroom." After saying this, she covered her face and hurried into the bathroom to freshen herself up.

"Mom, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely try to cure your disease," in order to make Sara feel better, Hansen took a step forward and said gently.

Unexpectedly, Sara’s face still had no joy, and the melancholy on her face had become deeper. Her dark eyes stared at Hansen’s face and calmly asked, "Hansen, my illness is not important, but I really need to know something. Can you tell me the truth?"

Hansen was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed through him. He was already aware of what she wanted to ask, and his whole body became a little stiff.

"Mom, just ask if you have any questions. Don't over think on your own. I used to be busy and had no time to visit you in the past. I will visit you often with Jenna in the future, so don't worry," he said in one breath in order to dispel her doubts, so that she no longer over-worried.

However, Sara was not dumb. She knew about her disease. Although the suitable kidney was ready, no one could guarantee the chance of her leaving the operating theatre alive. The chances of her seeing Hansen were limited too. So she didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Hansen, are you and Jenna divorced?" She didn't have much time and energy to beat around the bush, so she asked him straightforwardly. Even though Hansen was mentally prepared, his expression changed when he was asked this.

Indeed, they had divorced, but he had promised Jenna to keep this secret. Furthermore, how could he bear to tell Sara the truth right now, looking at her condition. Besides, he felt that he could no longer live without her nowadays, and he was afraid of losing her as well.

Therefore, he quickly shook his head.

"That's not true, Mom. Who told you so? Jenna and I are in a very good relationship, how can we get a divorce? You shouldn't even think about such a thing," Hansen said with a face full of certainty. "Mom, think about it. Jenna is the daughter-in-law of the Richards' family, and she was appointed by grandma. How could she divorce me? Even if I want to divorce her, my grandma will not allow me to do so. Therefore, Mom, please do not overthink about something that will never happen. Don’t worry, as long as I am here, I will protect Jenna."

Sara’s face gradually began to show some vitality. She almost believed his words even thought she had doubts initially. It was indeed true that she had seen Jenna's name engraved on the family's chart and a grand ceremony being held. Furthermore, she now witnessed both of them being so intimate in front of her.

She should really believe Hansen.

After all, the news media were just good at making groundless accusations; they were not trustworthy.

Soon, her heart was relieved and her face became a lot more vivid, showing a happy smile.

Jenna was standing next to the bathroom, listening to Hansen tell a nice story that made her mother feel at ease, but there were mixed emotions in her heart. His story sounded so real and natural that even she herself had believed it. If she hadn't experienced it personally, she would have thought that everything before was merely a dream.

Unfortunately, the story he told Sara was a fake one.

Of course, as long as her mother was convinced, everything else no longer mattered.

"Hansen, can you promise me one thing?" Sara's heart was at ease, and even her voice became more loving. She spoke softly and was begging him.

"Okay, just say it," Hansen nodded without thinking and said warmly.

The vitality on Sara's face became more and more vivid, and her eyes became clearer.

"Hansen, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will take care of my daughter and love her with all your heart. Even if I pass away, I can leave at ease too." Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of prayers..

The light in her eyes was so enthusiastic and eager that Hansen was slightly overwhelmed by her gaze. His heart was so heavy that he was almost out of breath. He looked serious and stared into Sara's eyes. He pondered for a while and said solemnly, "Mom, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will take care of her. You can entrust her to

me. Sara finally had a happy smile on her face. With tears in her eyes, she said over and over again, "Okay, great, thank you."
