Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 62

I rush to the operating room. The lights inside are still on. I lost my strength and collapse to the ground.

"Are you the patient's family?" The nurse asks me.

"Yes!" I grab her hand. "How's my mom? Is her life in danger?"

The nurse's probably used to it, so she looks calm. "She just went into surgery. We are not sure what's going on yet." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why did she suddenly pass out? Who sent her here?"

When I left, my mother was still at home. If she passed out at home, no one would know unless she called an ambulance.

Thinking of this, I feel extremely regretful. Why didn't stay at home with her?

The nurse checks the record and says, "She didn't pass out. She had a car accident."

"What?!" I stand up from the ground and take the record from her.

It says my mom had a car accident at 4 p.m.

"A car accident? How could that be?" I'm

completely in shock.

Mom doesn't usually go out in the afternoons. How could she have a car accident at this time?

And the accident took place at a crossroads in our neighborhood.

While I'm confused, two policemen come to me. "Excuse me, are you Chelsea Hodges?"

"Yes, I am."

"The driver is under investigation. We're here to ask you something." A policeman explains.

But I don't know anything about the accident.

The policeman looks at me and says, "According to what we know, your mother was crossing the street when she was hit, and the driver didn't see her."

"But my mom doesn't usually go out."

The policeman shakes his head. He says that he'll contact me at the first time if there's any progress.

After they left, I sit on the bench. In less than half a year, my mother had two operations. I wonder if she can take it.

She's been the most important person to me. I don't know if I could have gotten through the divorce without her.

But God doesn't treat her well. Bad health, car accident... What if she passes away?

Siting alone in the empty corridor, I feel extremely sad.

The next morning, the lights in the operating room finally go out. I stand up from the bench subconsciously. The next, I feel dizzy and almost collapse, because I haven't eaten anything for a long time.

"Are you all right?" The nurse quickly comes over to support me.

I shake my head and stand up. "How's my mother?"

She doesn't answer and looks at the door of the operating room.

I follow her line of sight. In the hospital bed, my mom's closing her eyes tightly. Her face's as white as paper.

I have a bad feeling. I kneel on the ground, gently hold her hand. "Mom, stop sleeping. Get up, we should go home now..."

"Miss, your mother has already..."

I ignore the doctor and continue, "I went to see Sienna's boyfriend yesterday. I don't think he's right for her. Would you like to meet him?"

"Your mother passed away during the operation because of her injuries. We tried our best to save her, but we failed. I'm sorry," the doctor says.

My tears fall along with his words. My eyes dim with sorrow.

They want to push my mom away, but I just hold her hand tightly. Kneeling on the ground, I cry and shout, "Didn't you always want me to get married and have kids? How could you leave me before this happens?"

"You are the only family I have in this world. What should I do now?"

I'm unwilling to let her go. The doctors and nurses hug me from behind. They all suggest me to calm down.

I ignore them and hug my mother in despair. Then, everything in front of me goes dark.

I woke up from my dream. When I open my eyes, I see a man standing in front of me.

"Who are you?" I ask in a hoarse voice.

He slowly turns around. "You're awake."

It's Harrison. "You didn't eat or drink all day, plus you had a nervous breakdown, so you passed out."

It reminds me of what happened before I fainted. I grab his hand and ask, "How is my mother? Did she..."

I close my eyes tightly in a vain attempt to hold back the tears.

"I've contacted the funeral home, but it's up to you."

He didn't answer me, but the fact is clear. My mom left me forever.

I turn my head away and silently shed tears. Finally, I can't control myself and begin to cry out loud...

He hugs me and strokes my back gently. "Just cry, but be strong when you're done. She needs a decent funeral and you are her only daughter."

'Yes, he's right. I can't fall apart now. But I just can't stop myself from weeping.'

Harrison and I took my mother to the funeral home. On the way, I called some of my relatives.

The funeral is held a week later. Mom lies quietly in the crystal coffin. My relatives don't seem to be sad at all. Before leaving, they reminded me to lodge a claim against the driver.

They said they could help me with that, but I needed to give them half the money.

I sneer. I didn't wish them to feel sorry for my mom, but I didn't expect they were here for money.

Harrison has been accompanying me. I may not say it, but I know it in my heart.

Two uninvited guests come at the end of the funeral. They're Callen and Maisy.
