Chapter 361
Marina was stunned for a moment before she was dragged into the living room by Simon.
The moment she entered it, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
Her eyes widened, and she lost her senses for a long time.
What was going on?
Was she hallucinating?
“Auntie Marina, you’re finally back!” Robert immediately ran over when he caught sight of Marina.
“Why… Why are you here?” Marina finally came back to her senses.
“Not only am I here, my dad is here too!” Robert gave a sign.
Marina looked up. The figure with his back facing her had also turned around.
It was Edward Hernandez!
“You’re awake?” A smile instantly appeared on Marina’s face.
It turned out that the person who was chatting happily with his parents just now was Edward.
“Yeah, I wake up. Because someone forced me to wake up, right?” When he said this, he could not help but look at Simon, who was standing beside Marina.
“What does he mean?”
Marina also looked at him in confusion.
However, Simon did not answer her question.
However, Robert was standing at the side and could not hold it in anymore.
“Uncle Simon only has my father as an elder now. Of course, my father should be here to propose marriage.”
“Propose marriage?” Marina was even more shocked.
“Yeah, look, we even brought the betrothal gifts.” Robert nodded.
Then, he pointed to the side.
Marina followed his direction and immediately saw a large pile of boxes.
Marina slowly shifted her gaze to her parents, who were sitting on the sofa..
It seemed that they didn’t kick him out.
Or was she back just in time before they had yet to drive him out of the door?
“Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Bailey, you’re about to be Simon’s father–in–law and mother–in–law. Since our kids are back, we have to tell them about this officially.” Edward smiled and glanced at Marina’s parents.
“Wait, what did you just call my parents?” Marina immediately raised her hand to interrupt Edward’s speaking.
“In–laws,” Edward explained very patiently.
“In–laws? Dad, Mom, did you agree to his proposal?” Marina looked at her parents in horror.
“What’s wrong with you? Do you want us to disagree?” Mary looked up at Marina.
“That’s not what I meant,” Marina quickly responded.
Then, she looked at her mother with confusion. “But you were so angry at our relationship? Why did you agree after only half a day?
“Could it be that you were… threatened?”
Although she liked Simon a lot, she would never allow the Hernandez family to bully her family.
This was a matter of principle..
“Threatening? Are you looking down on us? Are we the kind of people everybody can bully?
“Or do you think that I can betray my daughter just because someone threatens me?” Mrs. Baiyley’s voice instantly sank.
“So you’re serious?” Not only was Marina not angry at her mother’s question, but she also looked at her happily.
“Yes. I agree.” Mary looked at Marina. Although she was a little heartbroken, she still replied reluctantly.
“Mom, I knew you were the best mother! I knew it.” When Marina heard this, she immediately pounced on her mother like a little girl and pushed her
old man out of the way.

She held her mother’s arm affectionately.
“Oh, only when I agree to your marriage, I would be a good mother. If i don’t agree, then I am a bad mom, right?” Mary raised her voice.
“Of course not. Anyway, you’re still the best mother in the world!” Marina smiled.
In the entire Bailey family, Mary was the only one who can suppress Marina.
Back then, when Mary was pregnant with Marina, her reaction was especially fierce.
She could not eat anything for the first three months and even vomited bile every day.
She was put on an intravenous drip to maintain her life.
When Mr. Bailey saw that she was so painful, he advised her to give up on the child.
Other people in the Bailey family also suggested the same thing.
After all, back then, Marina was just an unborn fetus.
Living people were the most important.
However, Mary did not give up and endured the pain all the time.
Even if she vomited every day after eating, she would still force herself to eat something.
She kept living like this and managed to hold on for five months.
It was not easy for her to get through the morning sickness, but she showed symptoms of malnutrition again later.
And this was much more serious than morning sickness, which would exert a serious impact on her health.
But at that time, the baby had already been formed.
Her little figure could be seen during the ultrasound.
Mary did not give up in the first place, and it is even more impossible to give up at this time.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth and endured it again.
During that period of time, Mary spent most of her time in the hospital.
It was a challenge to keep the baby until eight months old. After that, she could not bear it anymore.
At this moment, she made up her mind to have a cesarean section.
After all, if this continued, it would not be safe for her and the baby.
However, during the cesarean section, she bled profusely and almost died.
In those few days, Mr. Bailey suffered from anxiety and tiredness as if he had aged dozens of years,
It was also from then on that he gave up his job and stayed with Mary.
After experiencing almost losing it, he finally understood that nothing was more important than staying with the one he loved.
Although later the condition was still threatening but not dangerous, Marina and Mary were finally safe and sound.
However, Mary’s body was also injured and she could no longer have children.
Pregnancy and childbirth were a matter of death and this was not an exaggeration,
Although giving birth sounded quite common and so many children are born every year, many women would lose their lives in this process.
Although people, including her mother, had told Marina since she was young that this matter had nothing to do with her, she still felt that she was the one who made her mom suffer so much.
That was why she had been always obedient to Mary since she was a little kid.
The fact was that Mary was still not in good health even now.
Even in summer, she needed to wear two sets of clothes for warmth.
This could explain why Marina did not resist or even get angry when Mary did not agree to her being with Simon and arranged numerous blind dates for her.
She had previously thought it would be a very long process for her mom to agree to their relationship.
Unexpectedly, this huge problem was instantly resolved.
Marina hugged Mary excitedly. She could not suppress her curiosity.
“Mom, why did you suddenly agree to the two of us being together?
“It couldn’t be because no one had come to propose marriage to you and Dad before, right?”
