When she got home, Sonnet saw that Maxwell had already returned."I heard that you went to have dinner with someone else. Who are you with?" Maxwell asked casually as she teased the baby."Lucas."Hearing Sonnet's answer, Maxwell paused and asked sourly, "Why are you suddenly eating with him?""Wanted to talk to him about women.""A woman thing?"Sonnet nodded. "He's in a relationship. You probably won't be able to guess who the other party is.""Oh? It's great that he's in a relationship… No, what I mean is that he already has a girlfriend. We should give him our blessings…" The corners of Maxwell's mouth curled up to his ears.Previously, he had been worried that Lucas would try again. Now, it seemed that he was worried for nothing.Sonnet sighed. "Indeed, I should give him my blessings. If it were any other woman, I would give him my blessings without hesitation. But this woman… I really don't know if I should give him my blessings…""Who is that woman?" Maxwell was curiou
"Dad, Mom, you can't leave me, Dad!" he muttered, his expression pained.Knowing that Maxwell was probably dreaming about the car accident when he was fourteen, Sonnet's heart ached. She quickly hugged his head and pulled him into her arms. She coaxed him gently, "It's alright, Maxwell. It's alright. I'm here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"Maxwell gradually calmed down in her arms. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Sonnet with sleepy eyes. "I had a nightmare.""Yes, but it's just a nightmare. It's all in the past," Sonnet said to him with a smile.Maxwell reached out and hugged Sonnet tightly. He didn't speak for a long time. Sonnet didn't say anything either. She just quietly let him hug her and accompany him.After a while, Maxwell suddenly said faintly, "I dreamed of the scene at the time of the car accident. Dad said that there was a problem with the brakes and he couldn't stop it no matter what. Then, the car fell down the mountain! Mom protected me behind
Two days later, Jinny called Sonnet. "Sister Sonnet, are you free today?""What's wrong?" Sonnet instinctively felt that something was wrong and asked."I want to trouble you to accompany me to the clinic," Jinny replied. "I want to go for acupuncture.""Alright, I'll take a car to pick you up." Sonnet agreed immediately.She got Lewis to drive to Jinny's house to pick her up. Jinny gave Lewis an address and the car drove to that address."Why do you want acupuncture?" Sonnet asked Jinny."My leg has been indescribably uncomfortable these past few days." Jinny stretched out her injured leg. "Maybe it's muscle fatigue. Yesterday, my mother's colleague introduced me to an acupuncture doctor at a clinic. He said that his acupuncture is very good, so I want to try it. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night."As she spoke, she grabbed Sonnet's hand. "I'm here to trouble you again. I'm a little afraid of waiting there alone."Sonnet smiled and replied, "It's fine. I have nothin
When she entered the ward, she happened to see Monica feeding Will breakfast. Will's mouth was not wide open, and the porridge Monica fed him flowed down the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes.Monica suddenly felt dejected. She put down the bowl of porridge heavily and complained angrily, "You can't even eat porridge. What's the use of you?"Will groaned, probably expressing his dissatisfaction with her words.Sonnet quickly walked in, picked up the bowl of porridge, and said to Monica, "Shall I give it a try?"Monica showed a look of disbelief. "Can you do it?""Second Aunt, have you forgotten? I have a patient at home. I'm a professional at taking care of patients," Sonnet replied with a smile.Monica smiled. "That's right, that's right. I forgot that you're good at this."Sonnet took a towel and put it on Will's chest to prevent him from dirtying his clothes. Then, she picked up a spoon and scooped less porridge. She carefully fed Will the porridge.This time, Will n
Monica immediately laughed. "Oh my, you and Maxwell are so enthusiastic. You're the best! It doesn't depend on how much you usually interact with this nephew of yours. Maxwell doesn't usually interact much with your second uncle, but he's really helpful at critical moments."Seeing her reaction, Sonnet knew that she was happy to treat Will.She immediately contacted the doctor in the clinic and asked Lewis to drive Will to receive treatment.On the night after the first acupuncture treatment, Monica called Sonnet. "Sonnet, let me tell you a piece of good news. Your Second Uncle doesn't spill any food when he eats! It seems that the acupuncture treatment is quite effective!""That's good. In that case, I'll get Lewis to drive over to pick Second Uncle up tomorrow. We'll treat him for a week in a row and see if Second Uncle's condition can improve.""Alright, alright. Let's try continuous treatment!" Monica was very excited.Just like that, Sonnet took Lewis to the hospital every d
"What private…?" Will's voice was a little weak, and his face was full of confusion."I saw the cash you sent to the private investigator on the surveillance camera. Second Uncle, it's useless if you don't admit it.""I really… didn't… didn't!" Will said anxiously. "There's no need…"Maxwell's expression was solemn as he asked again, "You gave Scout Cattle the money to defend the city, right?"At the mention of this, Will revealed a guilty expression. "Mariette told me… that it was someone with the same name. I thought… no… I got someone to investigate that person and found out that the person he saved was indeed you… Only then did I know that you weren't dead… I looked for Mrs. Wilson, but Mrs. Wilson didn't know the details…"Maxwell sneered. "Since you don't want anyone to know that you gave Scout the money to defend the city, you should give him cash. Are you using Cobalt Wolfe’s wife's account because you're afraid that I won't be able to find out?""No! It's just cash!" Wil
Maxwell nodded. "That's right. The couple went on a vacation at this time. They lived on that street and encountered a mudslide. Now that the two of them have lost contact, we have to wait for the local rescue team before we know if they're alive or dead.""Ah… what a coincidence.""We haven't found the ox guarding the city either," Maxwell added.It seemed that not only did he get someone to investigate Cobalt, but he also investigated Scout."What's with the bull guarding the city? Did he lose money from gambling and hide again?""I'm going to look for Lovey now. Honey, why don't you come with me?" Maxwell asked.Because Lovey had other thoughts about Maxwell before, Maxwell was very self-aware. If he wanted to look for Lovey, he had to bring Sonnet so that Sonnet would not misunderstand.Sonnet smiled. "It's alright. I'll be at ease if you look for her.""Honey, you should come with me. She's about to take her exams. If there's a woman, I'll feel more at ease."Only then di
"He died in the grass beside the national highway. The cleaning staff found his body in the early morning. Preliminary confirmation is that he fell and hit his head because he was drunk.""What's he doing on the national highway at night?""There's a black casino over there. They're probably gambling."Sonnet frowned. "Why is it so coincidental? We were looking for Cobalt and his wife, and lost contact. We were looking for Scout to defend the city, and he died!"Maxwell's expression darkened slightly. "If these two things are man-made, it will expose this mole. This mole must have a very important identity. He's very afraid of being found out, so he wants to silence him at all costs.""He can be considered ruthless." Sonnet sighed.After saying that, she thought of Lovey. "Should we tell Lovey about Scout’s death?"Maxwell shook her head. "She's taking the college entrance examination tomorrow. It's better not to tell her. Let's wait until the college entrance examination is ove
