"Yes, " Carla said, nodding her head. Truthfully, she continued, "Sorry, Mrs. Borah. I should've told you earlier."
Mrs. Borah sighed deeply. "Everyone makes their own choices in life, especially when it
comes to romantic relationships. If you like him, you should be with him—I can have no
opinion on that. I hope he'll be good to you and the kids. However…"
Here, Mrs. Borah paused, looking rather uncertain.
"Mrs. Borah, what are you trying to say?" Carla asked.
"Miss, I'm just worried that an important family like the Giblo family might not be able to
accept your children, " Mrs. Borah said, frowning. "Doesn't your boyfriend worry about that?"
"Of course not…" Carla said, completely sure of herself, "because the children are his."
"What?" Mrs. Borah looked at her, stunned silly. "Are you kidding me? You are, aren't you?
Isn't the father of the triplets that—that gigolo from Stifling Night…"
"Yes, that's him, " Carla couldn't believe these words were coming out of her mouth, but
she told Mrs. Borah the truth anyway. "Four years ago, I got set up by Lola, but things turned
out like this…"
After she finished telling the whole story to Mrs. Borah, Carla continued, "Actually, I knew
who he was from the start. But I thought he was irresponsible and unfit to be a father. In
addition, I was scared of the Giblo family's power—what if they took my children and drove
me away? That's why I never told him that he was the father of the triplets."
"However, when I got into the accident, he conducted a DNA test using Randy's tissues.
When he found out the truth, he did so many things for the children. I felt very touched…"
"I see, " Mrs. Borah replied, sighing in disappointment. "No wonder our family keeps having all
sorts of dealings with the Giblo family. For a period of time, I wondered if they were flies
that wouldn't go away! So the Giblo guy had arranged for all of this to happen…"
"Truth be told, I had lots of worries in the past, " Carla said, smiling bitterly. "I even
wanted to uproot the family from Aymo City after you and Josh recovered. We could've found a
new place to leave. However, so many things happened…perhaps this is meant to be."
"Well, since both of you have already settled this matter, don't think too much about it
anymore, " Mrs. Borah said reassuringly. "The children didn't like him much before, right?
What about now?"
"They've been getting along splendidly. There's been a huge improvement, I believe."
Carla felt extremely happy whenever she thought about this. "I didn't think he would be
so patient with the kids. He put in a lot of effort to get close to them, you know."
"That's good, then, " Mrs. Borah nodded approvingly. "Look how he set up a clinic for us at
home. He even fetched me here from the hospital! I can tell he's very caring towards you
and the kids."
"I overheard the medical staff talking about the clinic on my way here. Apparently, the
medical equipment itself already costs more than one hundred million. Because they
needed it to be ready-made, they brought the equipment straight from the hospital. Dr.
Goman will get customized ones from abroad later on…"
"He didn't tell me about any of this at all, " Carla said, feeling guilty again. "He must have
told Benard to look for Diane to keep me company here."
"You did well to find a man as thoughtful as him, " Mrs. Borah said, smiling. Here, her face
clouded over again. "But will his parents agree to your marriage? Clans like the Giblo family
tend to have complicated rules."
Here, Carla thought of Jombo Giblo. She felt a little unsettled. Jombo had disliked her
from the moment he lay eyes on her, and he might not come to accept her in the future
either.
"It's alright, let's take things one step at a time." Mrs. Borah patted Carla's hand
cheerfully. "I've been lying in the hospital for two months! My bones are completely frozen!
Now that I'm finally out, leave the kitchen to me. I'll make all of you something nice to eat."
Here, Mrs. Borah rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave the room…
Carla stopped her immediately. "Mrs. Borah, you just got out of the hospital. You should
be resting now."
"Miss, you know me. I get all antsy and uncomfortable when I rest. I need to work if I want
my energy back."
"Besides, the kids like my cooking. I haven't made anything for them in such a long time!
Please grant my wish today."
"Oh, alright then."
