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 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

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

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

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
