Mira's words were not without reason.
If Sky's husband truly loved him, upon hearing that his mother had been in a coma for a long time and had just woken up, as a son-in-law, he would have rushed over to be with his husband and to make a good impression.
But Mira had already woken up for a while and had not seen the new son-in-law that his son had spoken so highly of.
How could Mira not be suspicious?
Upon hearing his mother's words, Sky's heart skipped a beat.
Mom wants to see Dray...
But he thought of the hidden marriage that Dray had asked him to keep.
And the fact that he had not appeared since he slammed the door and left that day.
He didn't even know if Dray would continue to maintain their "cooperative" relationship.
He seemed to be thoroughly disgusted with him.
"No, Mom, you've got it all wrong. Your son-in-law is on a business trip and couldn't come with me to see you. You see, you just woke up suddenly, and he's very busy with work, so he couldn't rush back immediately. When he comes back, I'll bring him to see you as soon as possible."
"Mom... please don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself first, and I promise you'll be satisfied when you meet him."
So, Sky had to use Dray's business trip as an excuse to cover up the truth.
Anyway, Mira's surgery had to be done.
It was not easy, but they managed to get an opportunity for a renowned expert from abroad to come and perform the surgery on his mother.
They couldn't miss this chance!
However, Mira was not naive. She was worried that her daughter might find someone to pretend to be his "newlywed husband". She told Sky to bring the marriage certificate with him next time he visited.
If everything her son said was true and he really married for love, then using her son-in-law's money for the surgery would at least give Mira some peace of mind.
Otherwise, she would rather die than let her son exchange his marriage for her surgery.
Sky returned home, feeling uneasy.
He knew that the best way to get his mother to agree to the surgery was to bring the marriage certificate and Dray himself to visit her in the hospital.
But...
When Sky returned to the apartment, she found it empty. Dray still hadn't come back.
How many days had it been since he left?
Sky counted on his fingers.
It seemed like it had been over a week since their cold war, and Dray had not returned to the apartment, probably because Eli was not there, and Dray didn't bother to pretend anymore.
Maybe he's now with Bella, holding her in his arms and being exceptionally affectionate.
After all, Bella is his real girlfriend, isn't she?
While he's just a fake husband.
"Aunt Mary... Do you know where Master Li has been recently? Did he mention when he'll be back?"
Although he told himself not to care, Sky couldn't help but ask Aunt Mary when he saw her while pouring water downstairs.
"Hmph, why does Master ask me this? Shouldn't Master know better than me?" Aunt Mary sneered at Sky's question, almost showing her disdain and schadenfreude on her face.
She knew that this so-called new Master would soon make Master Li dislike him.
Sky pursed his lips and didn't bother arguing with Aunt Mary. He took the water cup upstairs, sat on the bed holding his phone, and considered whether to call Dray.
Perhaps if he asked him nicely, he might be willing to cooperate if he was in a good mood.
Just then, the phone in his hand rang. He looked down.
The caller turned out to be Dray!!!
