Byron finished his work late at night and came out of the study.The lights on the first floor had been turned off, and only the lights in the corridor on the second floor were still on.When passing by Estie's room, Byron vaguely heard what seemed to be movement inside. His heart sank.He was reminded of the little girl's aversion toward Wendy. Byron was deeply worried that this little one was crying secretly because he still had not sent Wendy away.Thinking of this, Byron gently opened the little girl's bedroom door, walked over to her bed, and checked on her.As he walked along the lights in the corridor, he saw that the little girl must have fallen asleep but not very peacefully at all. The little girl tossed and turned in bed, her little hands scratching her body. Her pajamas lifted up from all the scratching.Byron’s eyebrows twitched sharply at this sight.He thought his little girl was having a nightmare, but her actions seemed strange.The scratching never stopped.B
Rosalie had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly woken up by her cell phone ringtone. She fumbled across her bedside table and picked up her cell phone. "Who is this?"Byron frowned as he answered. "It's me."Hearing his voice, Rosalie's heart jolted, and her mind became clearer. "What's wrong?"Byron looked at Estie in his arms. The little one was still sobbing sadly while trying to look down at herself.Byron hugged her tightly again and told Rosalie about the situation. "Estie suddenly has a lot of red spots on her body, and they’re very itchy. I just woke her up. Is it convenient for you now? I'll bring her over to show you."When Rosalie heard that Estie was uncomfortable, she woke up completely, got out of bed, and responded while putting on clothes. "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."Byron nodded and hung up. He touched the little girl's head to comfort her. "Darling, you’ll be okay once Auntie takes a look at it later."Although the little girl was uncomfortable, she
At the same time, although the light in Wendy's room had been turned off, she had not slept.It was not until Byron got into the car with Estie in his arms and the car slowly drove away from Lawrence Manor that she tiptoed around, picked up a few things in her room, opened the door, and went into Estie's bedroom.Byron had left in a hurry, so the door to the little girl's room was left ajar, which made it easy for Wendy's next steps.Once Wendy entered the bedroom, she replaced a few things in the little girl's bathroom using the light of her mobile phone screen. Then, she checked everything carefully to make sure that nothing was out of the ordinary before tiptoeing away.Back in the room, Wendy felt delighted at the thought of Estie's suffering.‘That little b*tch! Let’s see if she dares to ever go against me again!’...On the way to Rosalie's house, the little girl was still itching so badly that she could not help scratching from time to time.Byron saw the little girl's m
The little girl’s eyes flickered after she heard what her daddy said and retracted her hand.She was so uncomfortable, and she did not want Auntie to suffer too.Rosalie could not help but be stunned for a few seconds, not expecting that Byron was simply concerned about her.‘I was overthinking…’She pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at the little girl soothingly, "It's okay. Come on, let me carry you." After saying that, she stretched out her hands to the little girl, wanting to carry the little girl into the villa.She could see that the little girl was very scared now and wanted her to hug her.However, her outstretched hands were once again empty.The little girl twisted her waist in her Daddy's arms, avoided Rosalie's outstretched hand, and shook her head at Rosalie. "Daddy will carry me in."Rosalie knew that the little girl was afraid of infecting her, and her heart softened by that gesture. In the end, she compromised and followed the father and daughter into the
Rosalie frowned at the sight of Byron’s condition.The little girl only heard that her condition was contagious. She did not see the red spots on Byron's body. She shrank to the side, aggrieved. She refused to let the two adults touch her again.Rosalie came back to her senses, looked down at the little girl who was curled up into a ball, and felt a sting in her heart. "Come here, Estie darling. Let me have a look." The little girl shook her head and responded timidly, "No, it’ll spread to Auntie."Hearing this, Rosalie's eyes stung. She smiled at the little girl. "I’m not afraid. I’ve treated similar patients before and gotten this disease before, so I won’t be infected.”Even Byron was stunned for a moment, thinking that what she said was true.Estie stared at Rosalie suspiciously for a long time. When she saw that Auntie did not seem to be lying and she could not stand it anymore, she slowly moved nearer to Rosalie and stretched out her hand.Rosalie touched the little girl'
Lucian’s arm soon began itching too. The two little guys had no idea what was happening to them and stared at their mom in bewilderment. A guilty look flashed in Rosalie’s eyes when she noticed that the two little guys had gotten infected too. If she had closed the door properly just now, she would have noticed in time that the little ones were entering. Then, she could have stopped them from coming nearer in time and they would not have gotten infected… “Mommy, I feel horrible,” Nox said as he frowned and reached his hand out to scratch at his itch. Rosalie hurriedly said, “Don’t touch it.” She had just finished speaking when Byron reached over and grabbed the two little guys’ hands so they could not scratch themselves.He had been cautious of the fact that he was already infected just now, which was why he did not stop the little guys just now. He did not dare touch them. Now, there was no need to be cautious of that fact anymore since the little guys had also gotten i
“What’s wrong, Dr. Jacobs?” Yves had only fallen asleep when Rosalie’s call woke him up again. He answered the phone the minute he saw who was calling. Rosalie heaved a secret sigh of relief when she heard his voice. She did not even have the time to spare for small talk and cut straight to the chase. “Are you okay with heading to the research institute now?” Upon hearing that, Yves said up in bed and asked, “Is it for an important reason?” As he spoke, Yves did not even bother waiting for Rosalie to respond as he began changing. There had to be an important reason if she was calling him at this hour. However, he wanted to know the specifics of what had happened. Rosalie glanced at the three little ones inside the room and said somberly, “The children with me now are showing signs of allergic reactions caused by bacteria. The spray we created might help, but I can’t leave the kids now. I was wondering if you could help me out here.” Then, she added, “It’s alright if it’s
Rosalie’s phone rang an hour later. Yves had arrived. Rosalie headed downstairs so she could open the door. Byron and the little guys had been beside her, and they all heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line. Before Byron even said anything, the little guys took the initiative and urged him to go downstairs to take a look. Upon seeing how the little guys seemed to be in an even greater panic than he was, Byron nodded slowly and strode downstairs. “Thank you,” Rosalie said as she stood in the garden and took the spray from Yves. The disease was transmittable, and Rosalie was doing her best to maintain her distance from him. However, Yves had brought over quite a few sprays, and Rosalie was finding it difficult to hold them all.“I’ll help you bring them inside,” Yves suggested gently when he noticed her struggling. Rosalie turned his offer down without hesitation. “I’m sure you know too how highly transmittable this bacteria is. I already feel super guilty for aski
