The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 94

Rachel was taken aback. She didn't know why Lorraine would say those words.

Matthew was just as shocked. "Why do you say that, Lori?"

Lorraine replied dejectedly, "At Granny's place, the household staff said Dad went to prison because of Mom. If Ms. Carter becomes my mom, Dad will go to prison again."

Rachel felt another pang in her heart. Though Lorraine was still young, she already had a skewed idea of what a mother was.

Rachel patted Lorraine's head and softly comforted, "It doesn't work like that. It's hard to understand it because you're still young. But I can promise that your dad won't go to prison again, no matter what." Lorraine looked worried as she muttered, "B-But... I'm afraid Dad will be sent to prison again."

As she spoke, her eyes glistened with tears. It seemed like Lorraine was fighting back her tears.

Rachel smiled and coaxed, "I promise that your dad won't go to prison again. Trust me on this, okay?"

With watery eyes, Lorraine fixed her gaze on Rachel, as if she was trying to discern if Rachel was telling the truth.

After a long while, Lorraine still felt restless. She extended her chubby hand and prompted, "Pinky promise?"

Rachel let out a giggle and reached out her hand. "Alright, pinky promise."

They hooked their pinkies together and sang in unison, "Pinky swear, hold it tight, never break it day or night."
