There was no room for delay.Rosalie forced herself to calm down, asked Xander for acupuncture tools, and started acupuncture on the little boy immediately to stabilize his condition.Fortunately, this was not the first time the boy had experienced this. The boy did not show any fear from the slender silver needles in Rosalie's hand.Rosalie still remembered that the little guy's acupuncture points were quite special, and the boy was still ill, so Rosalie was extra careful when pricking the needles.When the acupuncture treatment finally ended, Rosalie was already sweating profusely."I just spoke with Pippin's attending doctor."Xander's voice rang in the ward.Hearing this, Rosalie's heart tightened slightly. She turned to look at him. "How is it? Did you discover any useful information?"Xander frowned and responded, "I only know that Pippin seems to be malnourished."When he said that, Rosalie's brows also furrowed.The two of them invariably looked at the orphanage direc
With a breakthrough in the treatment, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly relaxed.The little one also saw that he would recover quickly and thanked Rosalie with a smile, "Thank you... Auntie."Hearing the boy’s weak voice, the smile on Rosalie's face became a little heavy. "Don’t mention it. This is what I should do. Besides, it must be harder to be sick, right?" The little boy nodded shyly, his little face still a little nervous.Apart from the director and the other orphans, it was the first time that someone cared so much about him.What more such a beautiful lady?She reminded him of his mother.Rosalie patted the little boy's head soothingly. "I’ve prescribed you some medicine. You have to take them to get better soon. However, after you leave the hospital, you must eat well. Even if you don't feel like it, you have to force yourself to eat. Otherwise, you’ll feel sick like this in the future, do you understand?" The little boy nodded obediently.Seeing that the little
He had hinted in every possible way to get this invitation.Even so, the smile on the woman’s face in front of him still made Xander happy, and he immediately agreed.Although Rosalie extended the invitation, the driver was Xander, and he chose where to eat.At the door of the restaurant, Rosalie was a little surprised.With Xander's worth, she thought that Xander would take her to some high-end restaurant.She did not expect to see a vintage local diner in front of her. Although the decoration inside was quite stylish, it was not expensive. Most of the customers inside were ordinary office workers."I'm used to eating local food at home. I don't know if this suits your taste, Miss Jacobs," Xander asked with a smile.Rosalie turned around and smiled at him. "To be honest, I’ve been eating local food during my years abroad."Hearing this, Xander raised his eyebrows with a smile. "Really? I thought that you would be more used to eating international cuisines abroad." The two en
When Rosalie saw that it was noon, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to tell the two boys about lunch when she left."Sorry, I need to make a call." Realizing this, Rosalie got up apologetically and excused herself with Xander.Xander was puzzled, but he did not ask more. He nodded and watched her get up and go to an empty corner.At the same time, Lucian and Nox were watching TV with Estie at home when they heard the landline ring. They hurriedly got up to pick up the phone.After they returned to Somerland, only Mommy would call the landline at home.Nox glanced at Estie beside him, then took initiative to say, "Mommy! When are you coming back? Little Estie came to our house! We’re playing with her!"After speaking, the little boy handed over the receiver to Estie’s ear.Knowing that it was Rosalie, Estie’s eyes squinted into curved lines from smiling hard. Her voice was sweet. "Auntie!"When she heard their little voices, Rosalie's heart softened. "Why is Estie here?"
Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard the little one’s impish voice, her eyes full of emotion.She remembered that the last time they met, the little girl had refused to open her mouth. During dinner, others even said that she was non-verbal.Mary never expected when they met again, the little one had changed so much. Not only did she speak, but her voice was lovely and her laughter was soft and sweet.Seeing such a cute little girl in front of her, Mary could not help but pat the little girl's head with a smile. “You’re so sweet.”Estie smiled until her eyes turned into crescent lines. When Mary got up from her, she turned her eyes to the takeaway on the table again, her little face was full of curiosity.Throughout her sheltered childhood, the little girl had only eaten food prepared by her caretaker in the family. If not, it was her Grandma herself who personally prepared her food. She didn't even know what takeout was, let alone what a family bucket was.Seeing that th
Rosalie still could not believe her ears. She was stunned for a few seconds before smiling gratefully. "Then it’s better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously. I’ll do my best for this cooperation."Xander raised the teacup in front of him. "Then I'll drink tea in place of wine now. Thank you on behalf of all the partners. Cheers.” Rosalie smiled and clinked her cup with his, thinking of how Xander had helped her during this period. She was overwhelmed with a burst of gratitude in her heart.She must say that every time she met with Xander and Leon, they always had endless topics to talk about.Perhaps this was the advantage of being in the same industry!Thinking of this, Rosalie could not help but think of another man.Every time she was with Byron, their conversations always ended unpleasantly...Thinking of Byron, the smile on Rosalie's face also faded.Xander was paying attention to the person in front of him and saw the change in her expression. Although he
Halfway through the meal, Xander went out to answer the phone.After he came back, he looked at Rosalie apologetically. "Sorry, Grandpa told me to go back. I don't know what's going on."Hearing this, Rosalie smiled coolly. "Since Grandpa Lancer is looking for you, then you’d better go quickly. I’ll go back by myself in a while."Xander apologized again, then got up and left.Rosalie ate for a while and glanced at the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She was still worried thinking of the three little ones at home, so she did not stay any longer and got up to get the bill."The gentleman had already settled the bill just now," the cashier said with a smile.Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be taken aback.They clearly agreed that this meal was to express her gratitude to Xander.That man actually paid the bill himself..."By the way, this was given to you by that gentleman. You’re so lucky." The cashier took out a bunch of flowers from behind and looke
Rosalie: [Thank you, but that's what I should do. We’ll have to work together a lot in the future, Young Master Xander. You can't be so polite to me every time.]Rosalie came back to her senses and replied. Xander smiled noncommittally. Xander: [Indeed, this is a one-time deal.]As soon as he replied, there was movement upstairs.Xander put away his mobile phone and looked up, only to see Old Master Lancer supported by a middle-aged man as he walked downstairs. The two of them were talking as they walked."Grandpa, Uncle Hector." Xander frowned when he saw that man but still respectfully greeted him like someone with a good upbringing.The man was Stacy's father, Hector Hudson.‘This man came to the Lancer family’s home, and Grandpa asked me to come home so urgently. I can easily guess the purpose of this meeting.‘It’s nothing more than them being a lobbyist for the farce that Stacy made before.’Xander felt annoyed and bored as he thought of the chaos that night.Hearing
