Ivanna drew me to a seat in the ward's lounge area and inquired, "Is Rory really back? Tell me about his condition. Is he okay? Is it true that he can’t walk? What did the doctor say…?"Ivanna bombarded me with so many questions that I felt a little overwhelmed."He’s not doing so well right now. But fortunately, our plan was solid, and we managed to bring him back. If we had found him any later, he might have... sigh!"My eyes welled up with tears, but I continued, "But he's back now, and he’s alive. We need to take good care of him from now on. As for his leg... we'll have to wait for the final test results. Atlas is confident he’ll recover, and he’s hired an excellent orthopaedic surgeon. I trust him!""That's good. As long as Atlas is confident, there shouldn't be any problems." Ivanna nodded.I looked at her belly and touched it gently with a smile. "How about you? Is the baby behaving? Are you still experiencing morning sickness?""I'm much better now. The morning sickness
Ivanna was puzzled about why we had to return to Fremont Bay so soon.I shrugged helplessly and said, "It's complicated. It involves the Triple Alliance, so the hospital isn't very safe. My father was attacked last night, but thanks to Atlas's precautions, nothing serious happened."Ivanna stared at me in disbelief. "Another attack? That's outrageous!"I nodded. "Yeah. The kid who saved my father was also seriously injured. He just recovered from the rescue, so it's safer to go back. Plus, there's the matter of Stella... sigh... it's hard to explain.""What's the deal with Stella?" Ivanna asked in astonishment. "She’s a troublemaker! Did she attack while you were in the hospital?""Those people are desperate. The situation is unstable because there are too many unexplained factors. That’s why Fermont Bay is safer. Atlas has strict security there," I briefly explained to Ivanna. "So I can't stay too long. I just came here to check on Oliver.""He's recovering very well. The doctor
My impression of Oliver had always been positive; he was a cultured, stable, but somewhat haughty man.After all, he was widely recognized as the big shot of Foswood. Who would dare oppose him? You couldn’t underestimate him. He would do anything.But I didn’t think his family would be like this.I was perplexed by the woman he had been seen with before I had gotten to know Lauren. But that was his own business, especially for someone like Oliver, who was relatively low-key.Ivanna continued, "But Oliver still took care of her silently and yielded to her. Oliver feared she would influence the child, so he sent him to boarding school. His ex-wife felt bitter as a result. It was her idea that Oliver had to find a woman to replace her. If Oliver didn't do as she said, she would curse him every day, saying that Oliver was a hypocrite and a villain...""How could that happen?" I couldn't believe someone like that existed. "Why would he do that?" I was puzzled."Don't you understand?"
After hanging up, Ivanna and I returned to Oliver's hospital room. I said, "Oliver, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you again tomorrow. I need to handle some things at home."Oliver nodded quickly. "Go ahead. I'm fine now. You don't need to come if you're busy. Since Lauren’s here, I’m sure I'll recover quickly. She takes really good care of me."I smiled knowingly and teased, "Of course you're fine! She's very gentle, and she’s the best of us!"Lauren, who was still busy feeding Oliver, instructed, "Please see Chloe off, Alex.""There’s no need for that." I held Alex back. "We're not strangers. You guys go ahead and eat. I need to go back to Fremont Bay to see my dad. When he’s discharged, your family should come to Fremont Bay, and we'll celebrate properly."Alex immediately stood up. "Okay, Chloe. I'll definitely be there!"After exchanging pleasantries, I quickly left them and returned to my father's side.Atlas had already arranged for a caretaker to pick up my fa
My mom agreed with Atlas, saying, "Atlas is right. You can't be reckless. From now on, you should try to reduce your workload as much as possible. You need to think about the child."Grandma Rose immediately said, "Why are you still here? Go take a shower and rest, quickly. Your mom and I will prepare some supplements for you and get a doctor to come check on you!""Oh, don’t be so nervous. I'm fine. He just said that because he’s worried." I glanced at Atlas and rolled my eyes. "He’s making a fuss over nothing.""Don't take this too lightly. The first trimester is very important. You're not young anymore, so you have to be careful," my mom said nervously. "Go back to your room and rest!"Atlas was even more eager. Without a word, he picked me up and turned back to the building.I said shyly, "Can't you be a little more discreet? This is embarrassing."He smirked disdainfully. "We're married. Why are you embarrassed? This is my first time being a real dad, so of course I'm nervou
Similarly, she was startled when I opened my eyes. She then smiled brightly and asked in a clear and crisp voice, "Mom, are you awake?"I patted beside me and said softly, "Come up, I miss my baby!"She hurriedly climbed up, rolled to my side, and giggled. I hugged her and pulled her into the blanket. I held her in my arms and said, "My baby has grown so tall! When did you grow so much?"This statement was true. My kid was small in my memories, but she had grown so large, even if she was still soft."When you weren't at home!" She blinked her big eyes and looked at my face. This answer had some weight to it, making me feel a bit guilty.She continued to ask, "Mom loves Ava the most, right?""Of course! Mom loves Ava the most!" I said, but I felt nervous inside. Since she could say such things, it meant her little mind was troubled again. This child was so clever."Mom has been too busy lately! I haven’t properly kissed my precious daughter! What's wrong? Did you miss Mommy?" I
"We shall have a very happy family. We'll be inseparable as we play, live, and grow together! However, being a big sister comes with responsibilities. Do you understand what responsibility means?"She said in her innocent voice, "Yes, the teacher says, respecting the elderly and loving the young is responsibility!""Oh! My good daughter is so smart, she knows so much!" I praised her, "You are right, that's responsibility! So Ava has the responsibility to take care of her little brothers and sisters. Mommy will always love you all!""Will Daddy still love me?" She asked earnestly.I knew she was referring to Atlas when she said "Daddy.”"Of course, Daddy loves Ava the most! No matter how many little brothers and sisters there are in the future, Daddy will always love Ava!""Why?" She asked."Because you came into this world first! Daddy has loved you for a long time, they came later! Also, Ava has a Daddy from the Murphy family! Everyone loves you!"I patiently explained it to h
While I was happily speaking with my daughter in the room, Atlas softly pulled open the door and entered.He probably assumed I was still asleep and was surprised to see Ava on my bed. He quickly walked over, "I heard voices in the room and thought I was hearing things. It turns out my sweetheart is chatting with Mommy?"Ava had always been close to Atlas. When she saw him coming in, she became very happy, "Daddy, Mommy said I'll be the big sister in the future and will have lots of little brothers and sisters!"Atlas curled up next to me and gave Ava a big hug, "Really? The big sister? Daddy is proud!"The three of us laughed sweetly.Atlas's long arms embraced both of us. "In the future, my sweetheart will have a tough job being the big sister!""Daddy, I have responsibility! I'm not afraid of hard work!" Ava said it seriously.This sentence made Atlas particularly happy. "Our sweetheart will definitely be a role model for her younger siblings in the future!"Like a small mag
