You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 439

Martin was just about to say something more when suddenly his phone buzzed.

He glanced at the caller ID and put the call through, then pressed the phone to his ear as he greeted, "Hey, Andrew."

"Hey!" Andrew said pleasantly. A brief round of small talk later, he cut to the chase. "Are you free now, Martin? Mom's sick. You should visit her if you have the time."

"Sick?" Martin asked, "Is it serious? Has she seen the doctor?"

Andrew replied, "No, it's nothing serious. The doctor said it's only a cold, and she'll get better after taking medicine and getting some rest for a few days."

Martin nodded. "Oh, that's good to know."

"I think you should come home and visit her if you have the time, Martin," Andrew insisted. "She really misses you."

"Got it," Martin answered angelically. After the call ended, he walked over to Madeline's desk and asked, "Madeline, my mom's down with a cold right now. Andrew wants me to go back and visit her."

"Your mother's sick?" Madeline looked up from her pile of work and met his gaze, then asked in concern, "Is she alright?"

He explained, "She will be fine after taking the medicine and getting some rest for the next few days. It's nothing serious, according to Andrew, and she's seen the doctor, too."

"That's good," Madeline said. "Well, you can go, but be careful on your way there."

"I will," Martin replied obediently.

After leaving the Oasis Law Office, he swung by the mall and bought a couple of bottles of supplements, then drove to the Whitfield Residence.

Karina cheered up considerably when she saw Martin visit her. Color returned to her cheeks as she took his hand while he sat beside her bed. They made small talk for about half an hour before he rose and said politely, "You're going to need plenty of rest to recover. Stay in bed and take good care of yourself. I'll be leaving now; there are some work matters I have to attend to. I'll visit soon."


Karina's face fell. "But you've only just got here! Why don't you stay here for a couple of days? I've missed you."

"It's fine," Martin said. "Madeline's wedding is just around the corner, and I have many things to do. I'll visit you when I have the time."

"Madeline is the young lady of the Wendell Family and the soon-to-be daughter-in-law of the Hart Family. Surely she has plenty of people to fuss over the wedding details for her." Karina frowned and pointed out, "You're too young to be of much help. Besides, I'm sick and would love to have you around."

Martin countered, "You've already seen the doctor, and all you have to do now is take your pills as prescribed and get some rest. Having me around will not help with your recovery."

"But you're my son!" She felt her heart tighten once more. "Is it too much for a mother to request her son stay with her and keep her company while she is sick?"

"You have two other sons and a daughter to fill in my place," he said coolly. "I have work to do, and I'm swamped. I hope you'll understand."

As rage filled Karina, black spots started to appear in her vision. She couldn't understand why her biological son behaved as though he was a guest in his own home. Martin would never stay for more than half an hour, and he certainly never took up her invitation to move in for a couple of days.
