Unexpected Marriage: She is the Sugar Mommy!-Chapter 320: Heartache

Jude Sinclair’s heart was melted by Pomelo. He dreamed of having a little sister, and now one had fallen from the sky for him, he couldn’t be happier.

He couldn’t help but extend his small arms to hug Pomelo’s petite body, his lips slowly curving into a smile.

Although initially, he was a bit jealous, thinking Pomelo had taken the affection of Seraphina Sinclair.

After hearing everything Pomelo said, he instantly didn’t mind anymore.

"Are you full? If you are, we should go back now, otherwise mommy will worry." Jude Sinclair proactively took Pomelo’s hand, a touch of gentleness flashed in his eyes.

When they left, they forgot to inform mommy, if they don’t go back soon, they’ll probably get scolded.

Seraphina Sinclair usually seemed like she had a good temper, but she was very principled about certain things, like today when they snuck out to play without telling her.

Pomelo smiled sweetly: "Brother, don’t worry, auntie likes me the best. Once we apologize properly, she will surely forgive us."

Jude Sinclair sighed softly: "I hope so."

He understood Seraphina Sinclair’s temper well nowadays. Even if she forgave, it would probably just be Pomelo and have nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, once they returned to the ward, Seraphina Sinclair pinched Jude’s ear and said: "You little brat, you’ve grown bold now, huh? Dare to go out and play without informing your mom, huh? Do you believe that if there’s a next time, I’ll whip your butt!"

"Mommy, I’ve already admitted my mistake, why are you still unforgiving?" Jude Sinclair forcefully peeled off Seraphina Sinclair’s hand, rubbing his aching ear, looking at her with complaint.

"What have you been learning at school these days? Did the teacher teach you to talk back to your mummy? Do you know how dangerous it is outside now? In the future, do not run around without my permission, understand?" Seraphina Sinclair didn’t want to lose her temper at Jude, but some things had to be made clear to him.

She’s currently hospitalized, and even after discharge, there’s lots to do. Bayside City isn’t safe right now, if she doesn’t carefully explain things to Jude, she’s afraid this child might get into trouble one day.

Jude Sinclair didn’t understand, he just sneaked out for a while, why was Seraphina Sinclair so mad?

This wasn’t the first time something like this happened, before Seraphina Sinclair wouldn’t behave like this, why was she so angry this time?

It was Pomelo’s first time seeing Seraphina Sinclair so angry too, she hurriedly went up to persuade her: "Auntie, it’s not Jude Sinclair brother’s fault this time, I asked him to take me out to play, it was all my idea, so please don’t blame him, alright?"

"Silly girl, you don’t need to speak for him, I, being his mom, know his temperament best. If he didn’t want to go, no matter how much you begged, it’d be useless. At the end of the day, it’s all his fault." Seraphina Sinclair rubbed Pomelo’s head, thinking how could such a cute little girl be wrong, if anyone was wrong, it was Jude Sinclair.

Jude stood to the side, listening in confusion, pouting reluctantly and countered: "Mommy, your heart is biased beyond measure."

"What? You’re not convinced, huh? Next time I’ll beat you to a pulp!" Seraphina Sinclair playfully raised her fist.

Not wanting to anger Seraphina Sinclair, Jude Sinclair could only agree: "Alright, I got it, mommy, stop talking about me."

"Pomelo, come over and let auntie check if you’re hurt anywhere." Seraphina Sinclair beckoned to Pomelo.

Pomelo giggled: "Auntie, I’m really fine. We didn’t do anything naughty, how could I be hurt?"

"Even if you trip or bump into something, that wouldn’t do!" Seraphina Sinclair said seriously.

Jude Sinclair looked helplessly at the interaction between the two, puzzled, he glanced at Keith Hughes, silently asking: Why is it like this?

Keith Hughes said to Seraphina Sinclair: "Junior, you spend good time with Pomelo. I’ll take Jude Sinclair for a walk around."

"Thank you, senior." Seraphina Sinclair kept all her attention on Pomelo, completely ignoring Jude Sinclair.

Once outside, Jude Sinclair curiously asked Keith Hughes: "Uncle, mommy wasn’t the type to lose her temper before, what happened today? Suddenly she got so mad at me, isn’t it a bit weird?"

"You probably don’t know about Pomelo’s situation, right?" Keith Hughes said with a smile.

"What’s up with Pomelo?" Jude Sinclair blinked in confusion.

Isn’t Pomelo just Pomelo? Does she have some other secret?

"You don’t know, so you can’t be blamed. Your mom’s anger today wasn’t without reason."

Keith Hughes patted Jude Sinclair’s shoulder, continuing: "Your mommy cares so much about Pomelo because Pomelo has leukemia. You must know such a disease is very serious, the chances of recovery aren’t great."

"Ah, how did that happen?" Jude Sinclair initially thought Pomelo was just a little girl playing in the hospital, unexpectedly, she was a patient, and a leukemia patient at that.

Jude Sinclair, having read a lot, naturally knew the severity of leukemia. He simply never imagined such a thing could happen to a five or six-year-old girl.

If that’s the case, then it explains why Seraphina got mad at him just now.

"Your mommy wasn’t intentionally trying to lose her temper with you, but Pomelo’s situation is indeed special, so she was very strict with you. Pomelo’s parents abandoned her after learning she had leukemia, so be sure not to harm that little girl."

Keith Hughes also felt very sorry for Pomelo, so young and yet enduring so many changes, who knows if she even has the life to live on.

"I will never secretly take Pomelo out to play again, mommy was right, it was indeed too dangerous." Jude Sinclair felt a bit guilty.

If he had known earlier that Pomelo had leukemia, he definitely wouldn’t have rashly taken her out to play. If something had happened, he’d really regret it forever.

Fortunately, nothing happened today, and it wasn’t too late for him to know.

"Is there no cure for Pomelo’s illness?" Jude Sinclair asked, his face showing noticeable tension.

Keith Hughes sighed: "Curing leukemia is not easy, you must find a suitable bone marrow. If someone is willing to donate, only then can we perform surgery. And even the success rate of the surgery can’t be guaranteed, so I can’t promise you it’ll surely be cured, but there’s still hope."

Hearing there’s a chance of recovery, Jude Sinclair immediately got excited: "As long as we work hard to find it, we’ll definitely find suitable bone marrow. As for the success rate, we absolutely must find the best doctors in the world to treat her, Pomelo will definitely be fine."

"Why? Are you very concerned about her?" Keith Hughes couldn’t help but tease Jude Sinclair.

Jude Sinclair’s face turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed: "After all, since she calls me brother now, she’s like my sister, of course I’m concerned."

"That’s right, then let’s pray for Pomelo." Keith Hughes said, amused, as he ruffled Jude Sinclair’s hair.
