Chapter 127

Penulis: Sienna Yates
Kelly said softly, "Theo, you have no idea how scary your mom was yesterday. After your allergic reaction, there was a doctor on site ready to give you emergency treatment, but your mom stopped him. She insisted on using that spray you carry."

"The spray?" Theo blinked in confusion. "But I didn't have it on me anymore."

Kelly nodded. "I know. But your mom didn't believe that. She was desperate to find it…"

Her gaze fell on the boy. She feigned guilt, and her eyes were brimming with unshed tears. "Theo, I'm so sorry. I broke the spray… It was an accident. But if your mom finds out, she's going to hate me. She might not even let me see you again."

Theo said, "Then I'll make sure she doesn't find out, ever. Don't worry, Kelly. I won't tell her."

Kelly's face lit up with a smile through her tears. "Great. This will be our little secret, okay?"

Theo got to thinking, 'Just the two of us? So even Dad can't know? Well, sometimes Dad doesn't let me eat certain things either. If Dad ever f

    Carter's face darkened. "Theo, be quiet."Theo flinched, shrinking instinctively behind Kelly.She stepped in quickly, voice gentle, as if to shield him. "Carter, he's just a child. Don't be so harsh with him. Besides, you've always expected a lot from Theo, and he's never disappointed you. He's always at the top of his class. Isn't it understandable he wants to be the best at everything?"She glanced at Sharon, her tone soft but laced with meaning. "With a son as outstanding as Theo, Sharon should really work on improving herself, too. As parents, we shouldn't be the ones holding our children back."Carter's expression wavered slightly. The light in his eyes dimmed. He said nothing.But Matty stepped forward, his voice clear. "Sharon would never hold anyone back! She's amazing!"Theo let out a scornful laugh. "She's my mom. Don't you think I'd know if she was amazing? Matty, if you're smart, find someone else to perform with. Otherwise, when you get laughed at and end up crying,

    The call was cut off. Just like that.Carter tried dialing again. Then again. But Sharon still didn't pick up.His hand tightened around the phone. He had let too much slide before. He'd been too lenient with Sharon. That softness had blurred her understanding of her place—made her forget who she was, made her bolder than she had any right to be.It seemed it was time to teach her a lesson.…When Sharon arrived at the kindergarten, she wasn't surprised to find Carter and Kelly already there.Kelly was cradling Theo in her arms, whispering comfort into his ear.Meanwhile, Matty stood off to the side, completely alone. Small and silent, he looked heartbreakingly out of place.Sharon stepped inside. "Sorry I'm late."She had been rehearsing the violin with John on the other side of town, far from the kindergarten. Naturally, she was the last to arrive.Carter's face darkened the moment he saw her."Sharon, why didn't you answer your phone?"Her expression was calm and detache

    Theo lost it.Right then and there, he snapped—face flushed, eyes burning red. He pointed at Matty and shouted, "What did you say?! Say it again!"Matty blinked, startled. "Theo... w-what's wrong?"Theo grabbed a fistful of Matty's sleeve, completely unhinged. "Mom would never—never—abandon me! You're the one nobody wants! You're the bastard!"His outburst caught the attention of the other kids around them.Voices hushed. Heads turned.The teachers, hearing the noise, rushed over."What's going on? What happened?"Matty's eyes went red in an instant. Tears welled up, and he said softly, "Yeah... I know. I am the bastard no one wants. Theo, I know I don't have a mom. And my dad's always too busy with work to be around. That's why I asked Sharon to do the performance with me."Theo's voice broke into a near scream. "No! I won't allow it! She's my mom—mine! Give her back to me!"The teachers rushed to separate the two before they could come to blows again. Theo and Matty were al

    "Theo, I'm sorry," Kelly said another time. "I have a full-body check-up later, so I can't stay with you today. I'll come back tomorrow.""Theo," she said another time, with a soft sigh, "I'm not trying to avoid staying the night with you. It's just… your mom has such a deep bias against me. If she saw me here, she'd be even less willing to come visit you…"His grandmother and aunt had stayed with him for two days, but they complained about the hospital—said they couldn't sleep well—and once they left, they never came back.Dad was too busy with work, then suddenly went on a business trip. There was no way he could stay.In the end, it was the housekeepers from home who took turns looking after him at the hospital.After that day, Mom didn't come again either.Not even a phone call.Kelly told him it was because Mom hated her, and since he kept spending time with her, Mom didn't want to see him anymore.But Theo knew deep down that wasn't the real reason.Mom was angry because

    Matty could hardly believe his ears. He jerked his head up excitedly."Sharon, what did you say? You're going with me?"Sharon smiled and nodded. "Yeah, this time, I'll go with you."Matty threw his arms around her leg, his face full of gratitude."Sharon, you're the best!"Watching Matty bounce around so happy, a complicated feeling stirred deep in Sharon's heart.Theo found her embarrassing—he didn't even tell her about the kindergarten's parent-child event.But Matty had carefully asked for her opinion, and after she said yes, he was this joyful.The contrast between the two boys was striking.Sharon hesitated for a moment before asking, "Matty, are you sure you want me to come with you?"Matty's face instantly fell. "Sharon, don't you want to go?""No," Sharon's voice faltered. "Don't you think I'd be embarrassing?"Matty immediately shook his head. "Sharon, you're so pretty. Why would I be embarrassed?""But what if I don't do well…" Sharon started.Matty cut her off

    "You're Theo's mother," Carter said, his voice dropping dangerously. "I don't want to play dirty with you. But if you keep pushing, don't expect me to honor our marriage vows anymore."Sharon didn't flinch at Carter's threatening glare. Instead, her lips curved into a smile."Interesting how just mentioning Kelly's name makes you react like this. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Carter. If you want to stay married? Fine. But from today onward, you cut all ties with Kelly—completely. No contact. No seeing her. Not even if she's lying on her deathbed."A glacial darkness settled in Carter's eyes, his jaw tightening."You're really determined to go to war with me over this?"Sharon's response came cool and measured. "Seems we're at an impasse. Let's see who blinks first."She turned around and walked away.This time, Carter didn't stop her.…Sharon stopped paying attention to Theo's hospitalization, and Carter stopped calling.About a week later, when Matty came home fr
