After Dr. Lucas confirmed that Estie had no abnormalities, he did not stay too long and left before dinner.Byron sat in the study for a while. He took out his mobile phone and called Miss Leigh Ann.This morning, he had sent Estie to the kindergarten. Even if the little one had been left alone, she must have left from the kindergarten.Miss Leigh Ann should know what had happened during this period.On the other line, as soon as the teacher received the call, she was very nervous and came clean about everything that happened."...After I dropped Estie off, I left. Miss Jacobs said that she would send Estie back. Hasn’t she sent Estie back?"Thinking of this, Miss Leigh Ann was full of regrets.Without President Lawrence’s consent, she took Estie to Lucian and Nox's house without permission and then left the little one there.Either way, that was extremely irresponsible of her.It would be fine that President Lawrence did not know about it, but now that he knew that Estie went

Estie saw that Daddy did not respond, so she pushed her small plate in front of him again, her face full of urgency.Seeing the little girl's gestures, Byron came back to his senses and lifted his fork to take green vegetables for her.Estie lowered her head and ate with gusto. Her appetite was greater than before.When the little one had finished her meal, she wiped her mouth and was prepared to go upstairs. Byron quickly called out to her."Estie, darling."Estie stopped obediently and looked back at his father in confusion.Byron’s eyes met the little one's gaze in a complicated way, but he could not help it. "Did you go to Auntie Rosalie’s house today?"As soon as he said that, the little girl pursed her mouth and lowered her eyes silently. She was not prepared to tell him the truth.Byron got up and walked to her side. He hugged the little one and sat down on the sofa. "I called Miss Leigh Ann, and Miss Leigh Ann told me."Estie frowned unhappily. "I hate Missi Ann!"Mis

Estie looked at her daddy.She could feel Aunt and the brothers’ resistance toward Daddy.However, in the eyes of the child, their attitude was because of Daddy.She told Daddy so bluntly in hopes that Daddy would reflect on himself and be nicer to Aunt and the brothers so that they could like him.In this way, perhaps Aunt will not leave.When she thought about Rosalie going abroad to settle in the future, the little one's eyes showed sadness again.Byron’s mood fluctuated because of the little one's words just now.He had also heard these words from Rosalie before.Did the woman say that to the little one in person? Was that why Estie was so depressed when she came back in the afternoon?Byron sought further verification from the little girl. "Did Aunt Rosalie tell you this afternoon that she doesn't like me?"Estie shook her head.Byron breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the little girl just guessed the conclusion based on Rosalie's attitude toward him. He did not pu

Seeing that Daddy had not spoken, Estie's eyes gradually darkened. She lowered her gaze and stayed quiet for a while. Then, she raised her head and looked at Daddy very obediently. "Daddy, when Estie grow big, can I go and play with Aunt?"Hearing the little girl’s words, he was startled again.Estie was still a baby. How did she come up with such a long-term plan?These words must have been said by the woman to comfort the little one.Therefore, this woman really intended to go abroad. She already had plans laid out and would not contact Estie again after going abroad.Thinking of this, a trace of irony flashed across his eyes.If only the woman knew the baby she abandoned six years ago was Estie. Now, she was going to abandon her again. He wondered what the woman would think if she found out.Estie had already prepared herself mentally and looked at her daddy with a serious face. "Aunt say, when Estie grow up, find Aunt to play. So Estie will get well soon."This sentence und

After some consideration, Wendy fumbled to take out her phone and called Melody.Melody picked it up quickly. "Wendy, what's the matter?"Wendy's voice was full of unease. "Aunt, can you come over? My arm hurts so badly. I'm so scared... .."Melody immediately agreed. "You hang in there, darling. I’ll come over immediately."After speaking, she immediately got up, changed her clothes, and hurried out the door.After getting in the car, Melody remembered with hindsight that Byron should be by Wendy's side at this moment, but Wendy called her instead."Where's Byron? Is he not with you?" Melody asked in confusion.There was a bit of grievance in Wendy's voice. "I don't know. Maybe he’s working overtime. I don’t dare to call and disturb him at work. My parents aren’t answering their phones either, so I can only trouble you."Melody repeatedly reassured her. "It's okay. You got injured saving me, so I should take care of you. You wait in the hospital. I’ll be there soon."Wendy ag

Melody stared at her phone after the call was cut short. The look on her face was not a pretty one.Even when the car had arrived at the hospital, the anger on Melody's face still had not subsided.This matter regarding Byron and Wendy’s marriage had been delayed for so many years. Now, her son actually planned to end things with Wendy!There was no way she would agree to this!When she arrived at the door of Wendy's ward, Melody barely managed to restrain her anger before she quickly walked in with a worried expression.At the sight of Wendy who was curled up in bed and seemingly having fallen into a light sleep, Melody slowed down her steps. Her heart was pained at the sight. She stood near the head of the bed, giving Wendy a once-over.During this period of time that she had been injured, this poor child had suffered a lot. She had visibly lost a lot of weight.Although she was asleep, her eyebrows were still furrowed, and her face looked pale.The more Melody looked at Wend

Hearing how much Wendy cared about Estie, as well as recalling how her suggestion had been rejected by Byron, there was a trace of displeasure in Melody’s eyes.From what she could see, Wendy cared a lot about Estie. If her son had just listened to her and let Estie have more contact with Wendy over these past few years, Estie might depend on Wendy the way she did on Rosalie.Then, they would not have to go so far as to let Estie be with that woman.Wendy pursed her lips remorsefully. "To be honest, I'm still jealous of Miss Jacobs. She’s able to obtain Estie’s favor in such a short period of time. If only Estie could warm up to me that easily as well..."Wendy kept her eyes on Melody's face as she said that.Melody frowned slightly at those words. "What’re you saying? You’re gonna be Estie's mother in the future, and she’ll warm up to you sooner or later, so who cares about that woman? I’ve already told her that if she makes any contact with Byron or Estie again, I’ll make sure s

Wendy closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.After a while, she heard Melody's voice calling someone from outside the ward."Help me check what Rosalie has been doing since she returned to Somerland."The person on the other end of the call had probably found something and reported it to Melody.Melody replied, "I see. In that case, help me inform all drug suppliers in Coast City that if anyone dares to supply medicinal materials to that Jacobs woman, their actions will be seen as an offense against the Lawrence family!"The person on the other end quickly agreed.Hearing Melody's approaching footsteps, Wendy quickly adjusted her expression, making herself appear to be sleeping soundly.Melody stood by the hospital bed, gazing at Wendy's haggard face as she lay on the bed. Melody’s eyes were full of distress and guilt.That cursed Jacobs woman! She should have never come back after having left six years ago!This time, no matter what, she wanted Rosalie to get out of thei

As Rosalie had been busy until quite late the previous night, she managed to sleep soundly when she finally went to bed.The following morning, Rosalie was woken up by the ringing of her phone.Her head was still a little fuzzy after having just woken up. After fumbling around on her bedside table for a while, she finally found the source of the sound.Rosalie looked at the caller ID, then answered her phone in a daze.On the other end, Yves' voice was filled with anxiety as he said, "Dr. Jacobs, we have a problem."Rosalie was suddenly wide awake. She shot up from her bed, and her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "What happened?""A batch of medicinal materials was supposed to arrive this morning, but it's already way past the scheduled time and the goods are still nowhere in sight." Yves' face was filled with dread.The medicinal material suppliers who partnered with their research institute were usually on time with their deliveries.In the past, if the suppliers said

There were only two of them in the office, so their expressions also became more solemn. “I’m not sure if you still remember what the Fullers did to us the last time.” Yves raised his eyebrows. Hearing this, Rosalie frowned slightly and was reminded of the time when she just arrived in her home country and the experience of being targeted by Wendy. All the medicinal material suppliers in Coast City under the Fullers’ control refused to cooperate with them for no reason. The new batch of medicinal material suppliers this time had always cooperated well with her, but they abruptly halted their supply without a reason. There must be someone behind all this.However, who was it? Rosalie’s expression froze, and her mind was in chaos. They resolved the problem Wendy had posed the last time, so she probably would not use the same tactic to go against them. Yves did not explicitly say it, but he knew that this matter was aimed at Rosalie. Looking at Rosalie’s face of contemp
