Anna took out her phone, typed some things that needed to be prepared, and sent it to Thaddeus. “These are all available in hospitals. Call room service while I pour her some water. She must be thirsty.”Mona lazily cracked open an eye and watched as Anna and Thaddeus took care of her and served her. Although she was uncomfortable, her heart was quite happy.Anna came over with a glass of water and was surprised to see Mona with her eyes open. “Mona, you’re awake. Do you want some water?”Mona nodded heavily. Anna knew her best. Her throat was burning, and she urgently needed a drink to relieve it.Anna moved a pillow behind Mona’s back to make it more comfortable for her.“Here’s the water. Be careful. Don’t spill it.”Mona took the water and gulped it down. The discomfort in her throat instantly eased.“I’m sweating a lot. Do I have a fever?”“Yes. You had a bad fever in the afternoon while you were sleeping. We tried to get you to sweat it out, so you got better.”“I feel m
“It seems she’s all better now.” Thaddeus looked like an old father with a doting smile on his lips. “If you like it, I’ll tell them to deliver it to you every day.”“No need. I can drink it on occasion, but watermelon is a cooling fruit. It’s not good for the body.”“As you wish.” Thaddeus looked back at Anna. “Thank you, Dr. Faith. You can rest now. The consultation fee will be wired to your private account tomorrow.”Anna narrowed her eyes in a smile when she heard there was money involved. “This trip was quite worthwhile. I had to suffer PDA from you two but earned some extra money.”Thaddeus raised his brows. “Smart*ss.”Anna stuck her tongue out. “Well, I won’t disturb your rest anymore. Good night.”“Sleep more and think less. Everything will pass. If you need anything, call me.” Anna made a calling gesture with her hand to Mona before leaving.Thaddeus touched Mona’s forehead to confirm that the fever had really gone down. Only then was he relieved.“Now that your fever
Oh, it’s time. I should go.” Linda looked at the time on her phone, packed her stuff, and hurriedly said goodbye to Mona. “I’ll be leaving now. Have fun with the kids.”Linda was about to leave after speaking, but Mona grabbed her arm and hurriedly asked, “Hey, where are you going? Don’t leave me again.”“I’m going somewhere fun. Why don’t you come with me?” Linda grinned. It was a heartless smile. She broke free from Mona’s grip and started to run.“Hey! Linda, don’t go! Where are you going? I’m coming with you!”Mona stood up. The children were being watched by two guards and the driver, so there was no problem for her to go after Linda. She picked up her bag and chased after Linda.“Linda! Where are you going? Wait for me.”Linda ran all the way to the top of the mall. In the blink of an eye, she stood on the edge of the roof. She would fall if she took another step forward.Mona screamed in fright. “Linda! Linda, don’t jump! Please don’t jump.”Linda turned around and looke
“Go to hell!”Mona felt her body suspend mid-air. Linda pushed her from behind, but another force pulled her back. Two forces fought against her body, causing her to float in mid-air, unable to fall or get down.Then, when her body could no longer endure being pressed against the platform, the two forces suddenly disappeared. She came down from the platform and sat on the ground, and a shooting pain snapped her back to her senses.She looked around again. There was no sign of Linda. There were only two guards, panting with exhaustion.Mona was puzzled. “How did we get here? Also, where’s Linda?”One of the guards answered her question. “We saw you suddenly run out of the playground alone and go to the roof. You even tried to jump off. We couldn’t stop you, and you also cut your hand with broken glass.”The guard pointed to Mona’s hand. The wound was still bleeding.“Madam, we have to hurry and dress the wound. It’d be bad if it got infected.”The guards pulled Mona for fear she
Mona was also very embarrassed and could only come up with a random excuse, saying that she was acting out a performance. The reason was so ridiculous that the guard could not help but laugh.Mona glanced at the guard and gave him a fierce look. It was only then that the guard stood upright and resumed his expressionless indifference. It was quite cute.When the two came out of the control room, Mona got a call from Thaddeus. He had finished handling the affairs at the police station and was ready to head to her.Mona hung up the phone and turned back to the guard following her. “When Thaddeus comes, you’d better keep this hidden from him, understand? Otherwise, I won’t introduce a pretty lady to you.”The guard nodded. “Yes, Madam!”“Good.”Mona nodded in appreciation, very satisfied with the two guards Thaddeus arranged for her. Marco and Polo. They were both named so interestingly.When she returned to the playground, Bobby and Millie were still immersed in the joy of playing
Mona looked at Marco’s figure running away. She walked to Thaddeus and bumped his shoulder. “Why did you tell him to run?”Thaddeus lowered his eyes and rested his gaze on Mona’s face. Only he was allowed to look at this beautiful little face and she to smile at him. Was Marco not even aware of this? Making him run was letting him off easy.The man’s long arm wrapped around Mona’s shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. “He did something wrong, so he should be punished.”Mona understood immediately and knew what Thaddeus meant by ‘something wrong’. This man was overbearing and possessive, and he got jealous so easily. All she did was talk to Marco. Was there a need to go this far?“Did you go to the police station? How is Linda’s case? Is there any progress?”“It’s determined now that the hallucinogens triggered her brain to produce hallucinations, which led her to go up the mountain and fall off the cliff. In addition, Linda’s bag was found at the scene of the accident, and th
“Am I such a person in your heart?” Thaddeus frowned. “Am I that irresponsible? If you think of your husband like that, you’re also questioning your vision. You’re not only belittling me but also insulting yourself.”“What?” Mona was startled by the man’s forceful words and actions. “You’re so fierce.”Thaddeus choked. This woman had clearly told him to speak up if he had something on his mind, but now she was calling him fierce.“I’ll continue to examine what kind of person you are, but I personally saw you and Ginny go in and out of the resort. Did you know I was watching not far away when you two were making out? I watched you two get onto the sightseeing tour bus together and go to the top of the mountain.”“Make out?” Thaddeus felt ridiculous. “Shouldn’t you know my attitude toward women? Even if you didn’t, hasn’t Anna told you that my body will never want to be close to a woman that’s not you? And Millie, of course.”“That’s...” Mona thought for a moment. “Then my feeling i
Bobby thought to himself, ‘It’s probably because Daddy is too handsome.’Mona had been laughing hysterically while covering her mouth. When Thaddeus came over with the children, she got up with her bag and walked over. “Let’s go.”“What are you laughing at?” Thaddeus noticed something wrong. It was fine if only other people were laughing, but Mona was laughing mysteriously too.Mona blinked and quickly came up with an excuse. “I’m laughing at how the Fontaine family is so good at raising children. You’re very grounded. Look. Those mothers think that you’re doing such a good job that they’re ashamed of themselves.”Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. “You’d better be telling the truth.”Mona smiled and pulled Thaddeus out of the playground. “All right. Let’s get going.”Once the family happily returned to the hotel room, Mona told Thaddeus to take the two children back to the room for a nap. She had more important things to do.“Where are you going again?” Thaddeus called out to Mona.“
