Rosalie wanted to tell Byron that she could do it herself, but he had tightened his hold on her. “Don’t move. Otherwise, it won’t be easy for me to go up.” Byron’s deep voice was rather husky. After hearing his voice, an odd feeling flashed across Rosalie’s heart. She remained silent and let him carry her up. As soon as Byron pulled her up, Rosalie immediately struggled to get out of his arms.“M-Miss Jacobs, you treat Little Lady so well,” Luther could not help but exclaim in admiration. 　 He was extremely shocked when he saw Rosalie sitting at the bottom of the pit with Estie in her arms. He was already taken aback by the fact that Rosalie was willing to enter the depths of the forest in this mountain so late at night just for Estie’s sake. He did not expect her to find Estie in such a place before they did. If it were not for her, he did not know how long they would spend looking for Estie. Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s my obligation.” 　 Byron cast his h

The doctors examined Estie and confirmed that she was not injured anywhere else other than the few scratches on her body. Rosalie then let out a sigh of relief. However, Byron still felt extremely worried. He got Estie hospitalized for the night so that she could receive all relevant examinations. Rosalie turned around and bade everyone farewell upon noticing that it was getting late. “Since Estie is fine, I’ll bring the kids back to rest. Contact me anytime if you need anything.” After speaking, she turned around and walked out.Byron grabbed onto her wrist as soon as she walked to his side. Rosalie could not help but take in a sharp intake of breath. 　 “Examine her as well,” Byron told the doctor while grabbing onto her wrist. 　 After hearing what he said, Rosalie turned around and rejected his offer. “It’s fine. I know that I’m not injured. I just want to rest at home right now.”Byron did not let go of her. 　 Rosalie had no choice but to do as he said. She walked

At the same time, in the Lawrence family’s mansion. After Byron sent Wendy away in the evening, she returned and looked for Melody straight away. Melody thought that there was finally news about Estie after seeing Wendy. She asked her at once, “Why did you come back? Did you manage to find Estie?” Wendy shook her head in a distraught manner. An accusatory expression formed on Melody’s face upon seeing Wendy’s gestures. “Why did you come back when Estie hasn’t been found yet? Don’t you know how to help the others look for her?” Regardless of how much she took Wendy’s side, Wendy had gone overboard this time around. After hearing what she said, a guilty expression appeared on Wendy’s face. “Aunt, I wanted to help them look for her, but—” “But what?!” Melody asked her angrily. Wendy raised her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Melody pitifully. “However, Byron blamed me for not taking good care of Estie and asked me to scram. He looked extremely panic

After eating, Byron asked Luther to send Lucian and Nox back home to rest. He stayed back in the ward with Rosalie to accompany Estie.Rosalie was still worried about Estie. Also, Estie had received a huge shock, and she kept grabbing onto the hem of Rosalie’s shirt without the intention to let go. Rosalie’s gaze was full of guilt when she saw Estie’s pale little face. She caressed Estie’s face and apologized to her, “I shouldn’t have rejected your offer in the evening. I’m sorry.” Estie shook her head soundlessly.However, Rosalie could not get over the guilt in her heart. She was in extremely low spirits. She had been feeling terribly regretful ever since finding out that Estie had gone missing. She felt even worse now that she knew that Estie was suffering from psychological trauma. 　　Rosalie felt so heavy-hearted that she could not catch her breath. “It has nothing to do with you.” Byron frowned slightly when he heard Rosalie blaming herself. Rosalie squeezed out

The next day, Rosalie realized that there was a coat around her shoulders when she woke up. 　 She knew that Byron had wrapped the coat around her shoulders last night while she was asleep. 　 Rosalie sat up and looked for Byron in the ward. However, he was nowhere to be found. 　 Somehow, there was an empty feeling in her heart. 　 While she was distracted, the sound of the ward’s door opening rang out. Rosalie turned around. Byron was dressed in a T-shirt. His face was pale with a tired expression as he walked in with light steps. Both of them exchanged gazes. Byron’s gaze darkened. His voice was slightly husky as he asked, “Are you awake?” 　　 Rosalie nodded. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and covered Estie with the coat around her shoulders.Warmth flashed across Byron’s gaze when he noticed her actions. He walked over to her side and lowered his gaze to look at her bandaged wrist. “How’s your wound? Do you need to get the dressing changed?” Rosalie shook her

After Rosalie left, Byron took Estie back to the Lawrence family’s manor.When the two got home, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence were already waiting in the living room. Wendy sat pitifully beside them.Seeing the two of them enter the living room, Wendy quickly got up and approached Byron. "Byron, is Estie alright?" She squatted down to check on the little girl.Little Estie retreated behind Byron almost immediately, her little hands tightly grasping the hem of Byron's clothes. She was unwilling to look at Wendy."Estie, I'm sorry that I made you upset, but I just..." Wendy squatted, feigning her patience while trying to hold Estie’s hand.Estie, like a terrified kitten, swatted the woman’s hand away with a smack. Her tiny face was full of resistance.‘I hate this bad aunt the most! It's all this bad aunt’s fault that the pretty aunt left me!’Wendy refused to give up. Thinking about the Lawrence couple behind her, she continued to approach the little girl.‘I can’t let this little br

As her son relentlessly blamed Wendy, Melody frowned in dissatisfaction. "Wendy is already blaming herself. She just got back yesterday and came to apologize to us immediately. Why are you still talking to her that way?”After she finished speaking, she looked at Estie who was hiding behind Byron.Estie was still crying, but the sobbing stopped. She just kept shedding tears.Seeing her little granddaughter upset, Melody felt very distressed. Her voice softened, "Estie, you’re a good girl. Don't cry, sweetheart. Tell me if you’re hurt."Estie was still fond of her grandmother, so when she heard Grandma’s words, she nodded while sobbing a little."If you knew where we found Estie, you wouldn't be asking this question." Byron looked at his mother deeply.Melody was puzzled.Yesterday, the phone calls were all made in a hurry. She did not have time to ask, and she certainly did not know the details.He glared at Wendy coldly and said to his mother, "Estie ran into the forest in the

When Melody knew that Rosalie was the one who found her granddaughter, she stopped saying anything. Plus, the little one in her arms was crying so badly that she could only focus on her level best to comfort her.After a long while, Estie had exhausted all the strength to cry and slowly stopped sobbing."That’s good, Estie, sweetie." Melody patted the little girl on the back and changed the conversation. "Aunt Wendy likes you very much and didn't mean to make you upset. You forgive her, alright?"When Grandma spoke of Wendy, Little Estie frowned. She turned around and stretched out her hand toward her daddy.Byron reached out and took his little girl into his arms. He answered for her, "No way. Even if Estie forgives her, I won't!"After speaking, Byron gave Wendy a cold look. "This matter has been going on for too long. Since this happened, let me make this clear. I will never marry you. From today onward, it’s over between you and me. Don’t appear in front of Estie again!” Eve

As Wendy stood there for a few seconds, she realized there was no way to turn this around. Hence, she finally bowed and left.Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence stayed with Estie for a while longer.However, no matter how they coaxed her, Estie lost all interest in them. She just simply nodded or shook her head when answering their questions. Melody tried putting a pen and paper in front of her, but the little girl refused to write a single word.Seeing this, Melody's eyes were full of distress. She knew that the girl was traumatized by what had happened yesterday.What was the point of feeling distressed now? She could only try to spend more time with Estie.At dusk, Melody reluctantly got up and said to Byron, "Estie is still like this. How about I take her home and take care of her for a while? You’re busy with work. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take care of her."Byron flatly refused. "No need. She’ll stay with me."After what had happened yesterday, he would feel relieved only by kee

As soon as Rosalie reached home, the two boys also got up. Seeing her back, they eagerly asked about Estie.The two little boys were very happy when they learned that the little sister had spoken again.Due to the injury on Rosalie's wrist, the two little boys would not let her do anything and waited around her all day.Early the next morning, Rosalie wanted to work in the research institute but was forced to stay at home by two little boys."Mommy, you're still injured, so you should rest at home." Nox looked at his Mommy pitifully.Lucian echoed, "We're afraid you'll get sick again like last time." The last time Mommy had a fever, it scared them.Rosalie knew that the little boys were worried about her, and because the injury happened to be on the wrist, it was inconvenient to work. Hence, she nodded and agreed.Just after breakfast, the doorbell rang suddenly.Rosalie got up and opened the door.Seeing the person at the door, Rosalie could not help but be stunned. "Why ar
