The young men who were with Nicole noticed my expression and gathered around me.
"Isn't it true that you just made your son run two laps on a horse? Why did you end up like this?"
"You know, Nicole, he's acting pretty convincing. I'm about to take it seriously. Is dislocation really that painful? Is the sweat on his forehead so real?"
"He's acting exactly the same as he tried to pretend that your grandma's death wasn't because of him! Not bad, Ethan, your acting skills haven't deteriorated at all over the years!"
Nicole came over with her lover and looked me up and down with a frown.
She probably forgot what my expression was like before I went into shock from heartache, so like everyone else, she thought I was pretending.
Derrick stepped forward before her. He looked at me with disgust and pretended to be surprised as he watched the liquid flowing from between my son's legs.
"Oh my God, did your son wet his pants?!"
He deliberately raised his voice to draw everyone's attention to Ezra's legs.
"How did you teach your son, Ethan? He still can't hold his urine even at this age. Hahaha, you are the same, aren't you? Or else, why does Nicole dislike you so much?"
A huge feeling of shame overwhelmed Ezra and me and I almost could not breathe.
Ezra instinctively reached out his hand to Nicole for help, "Mom, help me, my body hurts so much, I feel so uncomfortable."
Unfortunately, she slapped her son's hand away in disgust.
"Shameful!"
After saying that hurtful word, she led everyone away and even the staff at the equestrian field did not take me and my son seriously, leaving me alone on the grass shouting for help.
Later, my son fainted and my heart skipped a beat, then I fainted too.
As soon as I woke up, I was here.
My eyes were sore and once again, I almost lost the child I raised with my own hands.
Derrick leaned his head against her head and his hand gently stroked her shoulder.
"It's all Mr. Cruise's fault for not teaching his son well. He just ran a few laps and he was already in the intensive care unit. Mr. Cruise is indeed a jinx. You and I rode back and forth so many times in the past, sweating profusely, but we were still fine and nothing happened to us."
He made the woman amused. She looked up and kissed him on the lips.
"How can he compare to you? If I had met you earlier and trusted you to raise that child, he would definitely be as strong and healthy as you."
She deliberately emphasized the last words, adding endless ambiguity.
I did not know how many times I had heard such hurtful words and every time I heard them, my heart ached a little more.
I would also always question her without long memory.
"You gave birth to him from your belly. How can you say such things!"
Every time it happened, Nicole would look at me coldly and drive me crazy without saying a word.
But now, I felt completely numb and felt nothing.
Perhaps it was because of the weakness of my body after just waking up from the shock, the cool breeze blowing in from the window made me feel particularly cold.
"Nicole, could you please help me close the window? I'm very cold. The doctor said that after waking up from shock, I need to rest more and not catch a cold. Thank you."
My voice was hoarse and my tone was indifferent.
That was what the doctor told me the first few times I went into shock.
Nicole's face was cold and her words were like a knife in the cold winter.
"You're just in a temporary state of heartache and shock and it's not like you've been in a car accident and are all in pieces. Why are you afraid of the cold? Are you using shock as an excuse to slack off and not go back to the manor to take care of my mom?"
