Chapter 58 Arthur’s ex-wife
Around that time, Oswat went to the hospital after a hasty and panicked phone call from his mother Matida. When he just opened the door of the hospital room and quickly entered the room, he was surprised to see Mrs. Blance, Oswat’s biological mother, sitting near the hospital bed with a sad look on Arthur’s face.
He looked at the woman in confusion while Blance ran up to him and gave him a comforting caress. She showed concern and compassion for Oswat after many years of not seeing:
“God, my son, I miss you so much. I’m glad to see you here. ”
Oswat felt awkward, so he removed his mother’s hand and coldly replied:
“I’m no longer your son, keep your distance.”
Blance looked at Oswat wistfully.
“Can you say such cruel and harsh words?”
Oswat glanced at Matida, who was carefully peeling apples for his father sitting on the hospital bed with a sad look, and bluntly:
“Fifteen years ago, you mercilessly abandoned me and left with your lover one night before Christmas. I still remember how terribly cold that moment was? After arguing with his wife, my father sat drinking alone by the fireplace, leaving his son to play alone in tears after chasing his mother and receiving a rebuff.”
When Oswat said this, Madame Blance took Oswat’s hand and begged for forgiveness:
“Oswat, I apologize for heartlessly abandoning you at that time. Because of crazy and blind love, I abandoned my family. But fortunately, now that I have the opportunity to see and take care of you again, your father asked Matida to call me, it seems that all these years he still keeps my phone number and remembers me.”
Oswat was surprised to hear Blance say that, he went to Matida and asked:
“Mother, please tell me. How’s everything? Is what she said really true? ”
Matida could not contain her emotions, she hugged Oswat and recounted:
“That’s right. Arthur really doesn’t remember anything about me, he seems to have forgotten everything since my previous husband passed away. Arthur only remembers the time before that, since your biological mother gave up. go, and now he totally thinks he’s still young and you’re just a kid.”
Oswat was very surprised to hear Matida’s explanation, he quickly turned to ask Arthur, his father looked at Oswat with the dull eyes of a dreamer, not fully awake from a deep sleep. He eagerly asked:
“Dad, do you realize who I am? What about the woman standing next to me? ”
Arthur shook his head slightly in response, he looked at Madame Blance and said:
“Blance, who are these people? Why are they here, in my hospital room? ”
Blance walked over and took Arthur’s hand.
“This is Oswat, our son, and the woman standing next to him is Matida, your second wife. Don’t you remember anything? ”
Arthur looked at Oswat and Matida, sadly said:
“No, I don’t remember anything. I just remember you left me for a new lover, we had a big argument and then I was drunk.”
Matida sighed, she felt sorry for herself so she rushed out to shed all her tears. Oswat spoke quickly and chased after Matida:
“Mrs. Blance, take care of my father. I’ll be back later.”
Meanwhile, Matida was very sad, she cried while walking, she quickly went to the doctor, she wanted to ask the doctor about Arthur’s illness. But the result is still the same, he suffered temporary memory loss after the accident, the ability to recover his memory still needs luck and the support of himself and his family. Oswat had followed Matida before and sat in front of the doctor’s office to wait for her. As soon as Matida came out, Oswat quickly led her to a nearby waiting chair, encouraging her mother:
“Don’t worry mom, everything will be fine, my dad just has a temporary memory loss, he will recover quickly. I believe it.”
Matida nodded with a wry smile, wiped her tears and asked Oswat:
“Thanks, mom is fine. Your father became like this because of me, if not for him to quickly find Wade’s whereabouts, Arthur and you would not have had an accident. You should not blame or resent him. .”
Oswat took Matida’s hand and said:
“No, it’s not all mom’s fault. It was an accident no one could have foreseen. Mother should not blame herself. And now it’s only a temporary difficult period, in time he will remember who you are.”
Matida smiled lightly, she nodded and replied:
“Yes, I wish that happened too.”
Oswat did not want Matida to think too much about Arthur’s illness, so he turned to the case:
“I went to the police station and looked for Wade’s whereabouts. Fortunately, Uncle Robert still works at the police station. He has accepted to help me, if Robert has any new information, he will contact me.”
When Matida heard that, she looked forward to it:
“It’s fine, we can wait to hear from him.”
She looked at Oswat apprehensively and said:
“I’ve been bothering you too much already, while you’re busy with your university studies.”
Oswat smiled and replied:
“Don’t worry mom, I will try to arrange a reasonable time for studying.”
Matida kindly asked:
“For a long time, I did not pay attention to your studies, I was only interested in finding Elise’s whereabouts. I really am a bad mother.”
Oswat hastily retorted:
“Mom, don’t say that. You are the best mother I have.”
Matida put on a gentle smile on her lips and asked:
“So how’s your studies now?”
Oswat replied quickly:
“Study in both disciplines at the same time makes me a little hard, but it makes me feel excited to conquer a challenge that I have set and never done.”
Matida sighed and replied:
“Arthur was expecting too much from you, when he asked you to major in his chosen major, even though it was an offer, it was really a planning imperative. I know, when you were little, Arthur taught you to love business by playing mind games and talking to you often. As you matured, he directed you into that area to help him take over the company later on.”
She paused for a moment and continued:
“But you love being a police officer, it’s great that you can participate in crime prevention and help so many people. And you also proved to me how much you love it. Therefore, you have to study two majors at the same time to satisfy your desire.”
Oswat says:
“Mom, it’s my choice, I love it and don’t find it hard.”
Matida hastily replied:
“But Oswat, you should still choose between the two. Because one person cannot do two opposite jobs at the same time, more specifically to become a police officer, you have to go through an entrance exam and a rigorous self-contained training period. It is completely different from someone who is managing a large company.”
Oswat reassured his mother:
“I know that, any profession has to go through a test and an entrance exam. That’s why I want to try my hand at both professions, I will do that job if people accept me. I really don’t want to give up on my dreams and passions.”
Matia was worried and said:
“But the important thing is, do you agree with that or not? He won’t stop you from doing it, will he?”
Oswat pondered for a moment:
“I’ll try to convince him.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Matida curiously asked:
“So are you interested in the field he chose for you?”
Oswat smiled lightly and replied:
“A little bit, it’s also quite interesting.”
Matida said slowly:
“You should think carefully about your decision, because at some point you can only choose one of the two.”
Oswat nodded silently.
“Yes mom.”
He chatted with Matida for a few more minutes and then headed to the school, he had classes in the afternoon, and in the evening he informed his mother that he would be home late because he had to do his thesis at school. .
That afternoon, Blance had outside work, so she left the hospital later and left Matida to take care of Arthur. Matida was happy to be near Arthur, she wiped him with a towel and said:

“Arthur, over the years, every time I got sick, you took care of me and cared for me. I still remember two years ago, I had a pretty severe fever and was in a coma for many days, even though you had a busy job at the company, you still couldn’t bear to leave me alone. Every morning, you have the maid change the flowers in the vase in my room.”
Arthur lay on the bed and looked at Matida in surprise:
“Is there such a thing? I can’t remember anything. If it’s true what you just said, I’ve made you sad when I don’t remember clearly who my current wife loves me. Although Blance is a terrible woman, she betrayed me, but now I only know her.”
Matida shook her head lightly.
“I’m not sad, don’t think like that. This is only temporary, I believe you will soon remember me.”
Arthur looked at Matida affectionately, he had a slight smile on his lips, Matida also smiled lightly in response, that moment was very similar to 19 years ago, when Matida visited Arthur’s illness and encouraged him to overcome his emotional pain when Blance is gone, so he can get up to work hard and take care of Oswat.
After being injected by the doctor, Arthur fell asleep soundly in bed. Matida quietly looked at Arthur and sighed, she looked out the window, where there was a light breeze and a cool night sky, she thought far away:
“It’s been 19 years, I never thought that my best friend was comforted by me, now he’s grown up and has become my second husband.”
