Chapter 315 That’s Not What I Meant
Once he was done with all the tasks on hand, he finally walked back to the ward.When he reached the door, he received a call from Luther.Byron stopped and answered the call with a frown. "What is it? Have you found the driver?"On the other end of the call, Luther looked very solemn as well. "Our men have checked all the surveillance footage nearby, but the driver is hiding well. We can't see his face clearly in any of them. We have a few suspects, but we can't be sure."Byron's expression darkened slightly. "And what about the cops?"His mother had said that the incident took place in broad daylight. How could the perpetrator be so hard to find?Luther's tone was a little heavy. "It's the same with the police. They took in all the suspects for questioning, but I don't think they're the ones."Byron said in a low voice, "I see. Keep looking."Luther promised to do his best.Byron's expression was solemn as he hung up. The incident had happened out in the open, yet his men
Chapter 316 I’ll Be Relying On You
Melody and the others stayed with Wendy for a while longer.Wendy did not have much patience for Melody. She was just using the woman to get closer to Byron. Now that her goal had been achieved and Byron was in her room, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of those pesky elders. Despite her impatience, she had to keep playing the good girl.“You’re so badly hurt, Wendy. You should stay in bed for a few days and leave everything to Byron.”Melody sat by her bed and touched her shoulder encased in plaster, looking devastated.Wendy was propped up in bed, and she responded to Melody’s concern with a fake smile. “I got it. Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I’ll be careful. But…”She pretended to glance at the man standing by the door before pursuing her lips. “I’m happy enough to have Byron here with me. I can’t trouble him any more than that.”Melody finally looked back at her son. When she saw how far away he was standing, she berated him, “Why are you standing all the way ov
Chapter 317 Never Let Her Back Into The Family
“Alright, that’s all for now. Wendy and I haven’t eaten lunch yet, so why don’t you get someone to buy us something to eat?”Melody looked at her son and pointedly gave him orders. Byron understood the look on his mother’s face. She wanted him to leave so she could talk to Wendy in private. He obliged without calling her out on her intentions, leaving the room as she wished.Once the door closed behind him, Melody held Wendy’s hands meaningfully.Wendy was confused. “Is something the matter, Auntie?”She did not understand what Melody was doing, either.What did she want to say, and why did she have to send Byron away before she could say it?Could it be…? Had she realized that it was Wendy’s own plot to win her over?The thought made Wendy panic, and her smile began to fray at the seams.“Byron’s gone, so I’ll be frank with you.” Melody’s tone was a lot more relaxed than before.Wendy nodded obediently. “Please go ahead.”Melody said, “I’m sure you understand why I did wha
Chapter 318 I'll Think About It
As though to make good on her earlier promise, Melody left as soon as she finished her lunch. "I'm a bit tired now too and I wanna get some rest back home. Byron will stay here and take care of you."She then turned around to look at Byron. "There isn't any work left to do at the office, right?"Byron nodded."Then I'll leave Wendy to you. Take care of her," Melody said. She also reminded Wendy to be careful with her injury, then she left. Since Melody had left, Magdalene and Henry did not stay for much longer. They wisely bid Wendy goodbye as well.Now, Byron and Wendy were the only ones left in the room.The atmosphere immediately became very awkward.Wendy dug her nails into her palms, feeling frustrated. Byron was distant to her before, but never to this extent. He did not spare her a glance even though she was injured. It was all because of that wench! She was the reason all of Wendy’s efforts over the years had gone to waste, the reason he was so cold to her now!A
Chapter 319 What If You Catch A Cold Again
Following Melody's orders, Byron practically spent the next few days in Wendy's hospital room after work.Melody visited Wendy every day as well. Rather than saying she was there to see how the patient was doing, it was more like she was making sure Byron was doing as he was told. "How's Byron been? Is he taking proper care of you?" Melody asked Wendy with a smile one day while Byron was still at work. Wendy lowered her gaze shyly. "Yeah, he’s been good to me."Melody finally felt relieved. She comforted Wendy, saying, "See, I told you. Byron isn't heartless. You've known each other for so long, and he'll see you for who you are eventually."Wendy smiled at her, but inside she felt nothing but irony. It was true that Byron had been nicer to her lately, but it was probably because of what she had said that day. She had said she hoped they could stay friends.As a result, he was treating her like a normal friend, and not a step more than that. The problem was, she wanted thei
Chapter 320 You Have Children
Rosalie had no idea that her illness had left such a deep impression on the boys. For a moment, she was lost for words.Now that she thought about it, she had been the one raising the boys since they were born. She was a superhero to them, taking care of them and making sure they were safe.They had never seen her fall so ill before. It was no wonder they were terrified. Rosalie was silent for a long time before she bent down to pat their heads. She could not describe how she felt right now. "Thank you for worrying about me, sweethearts. Since you're afraid I'll catch a cold, I'll just watch you from the shore. I won't join you in the water."The boys exchanged a look and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding obediently. Rosalie smiled, comforted by their concern. She then helped them pack their things and drove them to the aquatic center.She figured they would come again often, so she registered as a member at the counter.As expected of a pool in such an affluent n
Chapter 321 I Will Leave Right Now
“We’re in public right now. My children are over there, and I’m not interested in you either. Please refrain from doing anything inappropriate and leave at once.”After Rosalie calmed down, she looked at the man before her expressionlessly. Although she was seated and looking up at him while she spoke, she exuded a strong and menacing aura. The man was shocked by her threats. He came to his senses after a few seconds. He behaved rather cautiously, but he still could not bring himself to disregard the temptation before his eyes. He said in a devious tone, “Alright, I won’t say anything else. Just give me your phone number. Let’s chat in private.”Rosalie stared at the person before her in disgust and said, “If you don’t leave, I’ll ask the staff to come over and kick you out!” The man looked around him and noticed that there were some staff members standing in the distance. He then tried to snatch Rosalie’s phone. However, a small hand snatched the phone over before he coul
Chapter 322 We Can Look After Mommy Too
The children swam for almost two hours. After they came out of the pool, Rosalie brought them to have lunch. On the way over to the restaurant, Rosalie still could not forget the words that Lucian had said to the man just now. Rosalie stared at the children through the rearview mirror for some time. Finally, she could not resist asking, “Lucian, why did you say that just now? Why would tell him that Mr. Byron is your daddy?” Just now, she was afraid that the children’s mood to play would be affected if she asked Lucian about it. Therefore, she restrained herself from asking any questions. However, she could no longer resist the urge to do so.After hearing what she said, Lucian glanced at her innocently and said, “That’s because Mr. Byron is more powerful!” Rosalie could not help but feel stunned. At this moment, she could not tell if Lucian was telling the truth or if was he lying to her. “Besides, I think that Mr. Byron would come over if you really called him,”
