Stuck in you

Celia and Mendes' father was indifferent to his children. After the boy had broken his arm, their father had just stayed by the boy's side for two days before flying abroad.

Celia had asked the old man where Mendes' mother was, but he just said he didn't know.

Celia could not hold back her tears any longer. Thinking about Mendes made her feel driven to a corner. It was not until Rachel comforted her that Celia gradually stopped crying.

While Celia calmed down, she began to tell Rachel about the phone call.

The phone call was from Celia's father, asking about Mendes.

Celia had asked him to come back to bring Mendes home or give him to his mother.

To her surprise, her father had bluntly denied her request. It had angered Celia to the point that she had threatened to hand over the boy to an orphanage.

But her father had said she could do whatever she wanted. He could care less about the boy.

At the state that she was in, Celia thought she wasn't qualified to take care of Mendes, but there was no way that she could just leave him alone or let the nanny take care of him.

To add insult to injury, Mendes was not obedient to her. Celia felt helpless.

After learning the truth, Rachel brushed aside the strands of Celia's hair that strayed on her face and said, "Don't worry. You know who Mendes' mother is, right?"

Celia shook her head. "I know who she is. I just don't know where she's from." Her voice was still a little shaky.

Rachel continued comforting her and said, "I'm having dinner with Dr. Zhou later. If Mendes is willing to go back with you, then you can take him back. Otherwise, I'll take him with us to have dinner What do you think?"

Celia was not patient enough to take care of her brother. She thought that it might be the reason Mendes did not want to go back with her.

Upon hearing Rachel's suggestion, Celia eventually nodded in agreement.

As soon as Celia came to her senses, they went out and saw Lucas coaxing the boy by holding him in his arms.

Rachel and Celia tried to convince Mendes, but he didn't want to go back to the ward with Celia. Celia was left with no other choice but to let Rachel take the boy to dinner.

"Thank you, Dr. Shen," said Celia as she gave Rachel a warm smile.

"It's my pleasure, Celia." Rachel turned her attention to Mendes and stroked his head. "I like you very much, Mendes," she said.

Hearing that, Mendes could not stay angry. His puffy cheeks blushed when he smiled at Rachel.
