Chapter 172: She Is Nothing



Chapter 172: She Is Nothing

Kelly was staring at the ceiling of her house while she was leaning on the backrest of a sofa. She was

very exhausted after the inevitable fight with her son, Bill. What she was afraid of was seeing his son

protecting the woman who killed her husband. It was the first time that Bill had anger in his eyes for her.

Ever since Bill was a good son. He never had a fight with her. Though he was aloof and cold, she could

understand it. Kelly knew her son gave up his childhood and his youth for Sky Corporation. At a very

young age, he was a self-made billionaire and she was always proud of her son’s achievements.

Kelly closed her eyes remembering Bill as a little boy. Admittedly, Adam was really a xerox copy of Bill

when he was young. If it wasn’t for Arabella, she could have been a great grandmother to Adam.

When she opened her eyes, intense loneliness filled the air. Her huge living room had no one and

became very lonely. Her huge family house became a very sad place. Then Kelly started imagining

things in every corner of her house. She saw Ed and Bill with her eating in the dining area. In the

corner, she saw young Bill reading his books. Ed was sipping his coffee while reading his newspaper in

the living room.

Kelly’s tears went out remembering the family she once had and now she was knocked out by the fact

that she was left alone.

She opened her eyes and wiped her tears trembling then she felt dizzy and after a while, she suddenly

collapsed.

“Sir, Mrs. Sky, your mother collapsed. We are on our way to Sky Med.” The old family butler reported in

a hurry.

Bill was stunned for a moment and stormed out.

When he got in the hospital, doctors were checking on Kelly. When they saw Bill, they bowed to give

him respect as the president of the hospital.

“Talk,” Bill ordered with a stern noble face.

“Mr. Sky, your mom is out of danger.” The first doctor urgently reported.

Bill didn’t answer and just look at her mom who was sleeping on the patient’s bed.

“Good.” He muttered.

“But… “The doctor was a bit hesitant to tell him.

Bill’s sharp eyes landed on the doctor that made the doctor swallow her saliva first before he continued.

“Your mom has coronary heart disease.” The doctor then announced.

“She would undergo some medications and rest assured we will do our best to cure your mother, Mr.

Sky” The second doctor sounded.

Bill’s expression didn’t change but he’s absorbing everything.

“This disease is fatal if not well treated. Stress, exhaustion are factors that trigger this illness. Please

avoid any circumstances that would make her unhappy and sad.” The third doctor ended the

conversation.

Then the three doctors exited the room after they politely bowed at him.

Left with his mom, Bill looked at Kelly seriously.

He strode closer to her when Kelly opened her eyes slowly.

She smiled seeing her only son. “Bill, my son. Come here closer.” She sounded weak.

Bill with two arms folded in front, walked forward.

Kelly reached out her son’s hand and he had no choice but to get it.

“I’m happy that you are the first person, I saw when I opened my eyes,” Kelly spoke with a sad and

happy mixed tone.

Bill just looked at her mom like he was studying her.

“You know, before I collapsed, I saw you and your dad. We are together in our home.” Now, she

sounded sad. “That big mansion is once a home but now….” Kelly continued but she staggered and

tears came out from the corners of her eyes.

Bill was unmoved.

“That mansion Bill was once a home but…” Kelly said it again and wiped her tears. “Because of

Arabella, that mansion was now empty.” Kelly’s tone became angry and full of resentment. “She ruined

our family, Bill!” Kelly was a little hysterical when she uttered all her words.

“Calm down, mom.” Bill was alarmed when he saw Kelly was shivering. “I’m gonna call the doctor.” Bill NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

hurriedly said but when he was about to turn around his mother held onto his hand tightly not allowing

him to go.

“I will only calm down if you promise me to divorce that woman and you are not in love with her,” Kelly

said shivering and weak.

“Okay. She is just the mother of my son. Nothing else.” Bill answered coldly.

After hearing him, Kelly let out a heavy breath as satisfaction from what she heard from his son.

“So, you mean to say, you are just good to her because of Adam?” She wanted to make sure so she

asked again. “Are you planning to revenge your father?” She added excitedly.

“Yes,” Bill replied quickly.

Kelly smiled and the shivering of her hand lessened. Then she closed her eyes. “Can you promise me

one thing, my son?” She asked lovingly.

Bill could feel his mother had regained her calm through her hand. He didn’t answer her but her eyes

were fixated on her.

“Do not fall in love with the murderer of your father. You can fall in love with any woman in the city but

not her. Can you promise me?” Kelly uttered weakly.

Bill took a deep breath. “She’s nothing to me.” He answered. “Sleep now mom and regain your

strength.” Bill took his hand and kissed her on the forehead then strode away.

Kelly smiled when she heard the answer of her son. It was quite satisfying for her but she knew she

had to still do something to make Arabella disappear from their lives. Even if Bill would not love her, still

she didn’t want to see her around with her son and grandson. Even in her sleep, she could see her

husband urging her not to let Arabella enter Bill’s life. There she concluded that even Ed cursed her.

“Excuse me, ma’am, where’s my father?” Adam asked the old housemaid in the house.

“Oh… young master please don’t call me ma’am. I am you servant.” The old woman was startled by

Adam’s politeness. She had not encountered any kid with a good attitude in his generation and age.

“It’s okay ma’am. I’m more comfortable with it.” Adam winked at the old woman.

Mrs. Mary Garner was Bill's nanny before. She was already a widow and she was asked by Bill to take

care of his son and be the master housekeeper of his mansion. She was just hired by Bill yesterday

and the rest of the servants just to cater to the needs of his son since he didn’t like other people in his

house.

As his nanny before, she could tell the difference between the two boys. Bill as a boy was serious,

focused and his smile was once in a blue moon while Adam was a jolly polite kid. She could easily say

that his mother raised him well and she was excited to see his mother in person. Bill had announced in

advance that she would be living with them and she was coming tonight.

All the servants were busy preparing everything according to Bill’s order.

“Your father will be here in a minute. He just went out earlier.” Mrs. Garner didn’t tell the truth following

Bill’s order. He didn’t want Adam to worry.

‘Could it be he’s fetching my mom?’ He thought and smiled. “Okay, thank you, ma'am.” Adam happily

strode towards the pool area. He was wearing his swimwear and the only part of their house that got

his interest is the pool area. Another thing he loved doing was swimming but it’s been a while that they

had not been to a beach or a swimming pool. He looked at the big infinity pool and smiled happily as he

knew her mom would love the swimming pool in the house too. They both like swimming and her mom

taught him to swim.

Arabella stayed with her mother the entire day. She was heartbroken but she tried her best to put a

smile on her face in front of her mother. When she felt that she couldn’t fake happiness anymore she

decided to put her mother to sleep and exited her room after.

When she was in the elevator, one passenger went out and Arabella’s eyes coincidentally landed on a

man’s familiar back who was entering a room. Following her instinct, she jumped out of the elevator

and ran in the man’s direction. She stopped outside the room when the man entered inside.

‘Who’s inside?’ She wondered. ‘Is Adam with him?’ She wanted to go directly inside to see her son.

She already missed Adam a lot. ‘Is something happened to my son?’ Her curiosity surged up thinking

about her son in danger.

When the door opened, she bowed her head to the doctors who were striding out.

Then she quickly held the door so it would not close again. When she was about to sneak inside, she

stopped when she heard a very familiar voice.

Kelly Sky.

Instead of her going inside, she froze on her spot hearing the topic of their conversation.

“She is just the mother of my son. Nothing else.” Bill sounded.

“So, you mean to say, you are just good to her because of Adam?” She sounded. “Are you planning to

revenge your father?” She added excitedly.

“Yes,” Bill replied quickly.

“Can you promise me one thing, my son?” She asked.

“Do not fall in love with the murderer of your father. You can fall in love with any woman in the city but

not her. Can you promise me?” Kelly uttered weakly.

Bill took a deep breath. “She’s nothing to me.”

Arabella regained her senses after Bill’s words and went away. She didn’t know why she felt pain with

his words even though she already knew him very well. She already knew his true motive but still

hearing those words from his mouth gave her more pain. His words were like salts rubbing her wound.

The Park was her stomping ground every time she was lost. Highly dispirited, she let out all the tears

that she was holding for a long time.

Suddenly, a white handkerchief appeared in front of her. She was instantly stunned wiped her tears and

looked at the person who was holding it.

“Jayson?” She frowned.

Jayson smiled and was about to wipe her tears with his handkerchief but she quickly dodged. Jayson

shook his head due to her stubbornness and surrendered his case he just sat on the bench beside her.

“What are you doing here?” Arabella sounded with a big question mark on her face.

“I was here first. Sitting there!” Jayson pointed to the other bench not so far. “It was peaceful at first but

someone came in and disturbed the peacefulness of the place because of her loud crying. What can I

do? So, I decided to stop her from crying to regain the serenity of the place.” Jayson said jokingly.

Arabella smiled. “I’m sorry.” She muttered shyly.

“So, can you stop crying now? Those birds told me that they couldn’t sleep because of your crying.”

Jayson smiled at her. She was also smiling at him. Then the smile turned to laughter.

Night came, Adam was waiting excitedly for his parents. He was very positive to see her mom but Bill

strode inside alone.

“Where’s mom?” He asked unhappily.

Bill smirked. “She will come tonight.” He said calmly.

“Do you have dinner?” Adam asked.

Bill was stunned. No one had asked him about things like this after a tiring day. He’s not used to it and

felt a little uncomfortable but something pleasing inside him.

“I ate.” He replied.

Adam nodded and sat on the couch.

“Aren’t you be preparing for bed right now?” Bill asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“I’m gonna wait for mom,” Adam answered folding his arms in front.

“Leave it to me,” Bill answered like ordering him to not delay preparing for bed. “Your mother is coming

you should not make her angry.” He reminded Adam.

Hearing Bill, he quickly ran towards his room. His father was right, her mom would be angry if he

stayed late.

“Promise me to wait for my mom,” Adam shouted while running.

“I will buddy,” Bill answered smiling but after a while, his smile faded as he sat on the couch in front of

the door.

15 minutes had gone when the door opened and the woman he waited showed up.

“Where’s Adam?”

“Where’s Adam?”

“What happened to my son?” Arabella sounded hysterically to the man who was seated like a ruthless

king. His long legs were crossed and his arms were spread on the backrest. His white shirt was half

unbuttoned.

“Bill where’s Adam?” Annoyed, Arabella shouted at the man who was unmoved. His dark fierce eyes

were buried to her. She could tell he was very angry by the way he stared at her but she didn’t care. He

texted her that Adam is sick so she stormed to his house.

“Why are you with him?” Finally, a displeased voice sounded. Right there, she knew great danger was

coming.
