Sean checked his phone again. “It’s the boy, Sir—the grandson of one of the librarians.”

Rowan's lips moved forward. "How is he?"

“It's not written in the report, Sir. Do I need to look for the information?”

Rowan was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head slowly. "No. That child has nothing to do with me. Just delete the assault part from the report. Make it look like an accident.”

"Okay, Sir." Sean stepped back, returning to his original position.

Meanwhile, Rowan sipped tea with a dreamy look. His brows were still furrowed. The image of Louis refused to leave his mind.

Suddenly, the old man snorted with bitter laughter. ‘I should be thanking the person who launched the attack. Those illegitimate children should not be born. They will only tarnish Harper's good name.’

Closing his eyes, he leaned back in his chair, letting the gentle breeze drift his thoughts.

"Grandpa!"

Rowan opened his eyes. He didn't know how long he was closed. If Frank's voice hadn't echoed, he wo

    “Pediatric ward?" Frank sighed softly. Frowning, he glanced in all directions. That was unexpected. Feeling doubtful, Frank checked the GPS history of his secretary's phone. Turned out, his memory wasn't wrong. “Why did she go to the children’s ward?” Realizing that Kara's GPS point was near Louis' room, Frank's heart went out of control. The beat seemed to rise up to the throat. "Is it possible... Kara already has children?" Pieces of information instantly gathered to form various possibilities. "What if Kara's family member is Savior employee?" “Could it be that the librarian is her mother, while Louis is … her son?” Frank's eyes widened. “What if the books fell on purpose? Is that an assault?” He sighed in disbelief. "Judging from their age, they could be the children of that night? Could it be that Louis and Emily are our children?" Frank's mouth fell open without a word. His jaw had stiffened with tension. He always thought Emily looked like Kara, while Louis looked

    The nurses grimaced slightly. They wondered why Kara was so scared. "If it’s the case, okay. We will cancel the patient transfer. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call us. Have a good rest, Kids." The two nurses nodded goodbye. However, when they came out, Kara followed. “Nurses, I am sorry. I appreciate your efforts, but ... the characteristics that Emily mentioned earlier are referring to the person who harmed them. Because of that, I was afraid that something would happen if we moved Louis into that room.” One of the nurses opened her mouth, intending to explain. However, Kara interrupted. “Now, may I ask for your cooperation? I really hope the security team is willing to guard this hospital from suspicious people, especially those wearing black shirts and hats. If the security team needs overtime, I am willing to pay it.” A nurse quickly took Kara's hand. If their director asked Louis to be moved to the best room, didn't that mean their family was special? “Mi

    Jeremy rushed to carry out the order. He was relieved that the critical period had passed. "Miss Martin ...." Jeremy stopped his words. There were many ears around. He couldn't possibly warn Kara. "Mr. Harper is calling you," he said with great emphasis. He hoped that Kara could catch the code sent through his eyes and tone of voice. However, Kara didn’t get that signal. She was really tired. She didn't sleep last night, and now, she had to face the boss. "Okay." Kara sighed heavily. With lazy steps, she entered the CEO's room. "What's wrong, Sir?" Frank's body stiffened. He squeezed his cold palms under the table. “Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be on guard at the hospital?” "I didn't apply for leave," Kara said briefly, emphasizing that she was not a special employee. “Then, what about your family? Is there anyone looking after him?” Kara's jaw tightened. Susan was allowed to take her time off until Louis got better. Therefore, she did not need to be on guard. “T

    Kara picked up the phone hastily. “Mom?” "I'm sorry, Kara .... I’m sorry." Kara's chest throbbed with pain when she heard her mother's sobs. Her mouth was dry and her tongue was numb. “W-what's wrong, Mom? Why are you apologizing?" “I just left for a moment to see the nurse. But, when I came back, Emily and Louis were no longer in the room." The world seemed to shake. Kara could no longer stand strong. If Frank hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have landed on the floor. “Kara .... Oh my god!” Frank rushed to carry her to the sofa. Meanwhile, Jeremy took over the phone. After hearing further explanation from Susan, he followed the others to the CEO's room. Frank was rubbing Kara's arm. With a face as white as cotton, she looked very worrying. Moreover, she seemed having difficulty to catch her breath. "What happened?" Frank asked, immediately catching Kara's attention. "Where are they?" she sighed while raising her head weakly. Jeremy glanced at the CEO briefly. He kne

    When Frank and Kara arrived at the harbor, dozens of police cars caught their attention. Kara suddenly felt a little relieved. She thought the twins had been saved. "Where are my children, Sir?" Kara asked the nearest police officer. The young man in uniform looked confused. He was only assigned to stand guard at the front, without knowing what was happening behind him. Just then, a man with a badge hanging from his waist came over. "Mr. Harper, you have arrived?" His eyes widened considering that the Savior headquarters wasn't that close. "Yeah," Frank glanced back. Seeing the hyper car parked there, the officer immediately understood. It's one of the fastest cars on earth. "Okay," the man in the black jacket sighed before returning his gaze to Kara, "I'm Carlos, the detective in charge of investigating this case." Kara greeted him with shaking hands. "So ... how are my children, Sir?" Carlos opened an arm, gesturing for Frank and Kara to follow his steps. "Thanks to Mr. Harpe

    Seeing Frank's reaction, Kara spun around. Two toddlers were apparently lying near the taller stack in the middle. They took shelter in its shadow, hugging each other. "They're here ...." Kara sighed with a smile. "They're here!" Without considering the height, she ran towards the twins. "Louis, Emily!" Hearing the names from Kara's mouth, Frank's ears immediately rang and his chest became tight. ‘Is that really them? I am … their father?’ Even though Frank had expected it earlier, reality still hit him hard. All the bad comments he had made towards the twins' parents were now turning into his heart. ‘I am a useless parent?’ He realized that his sin against Kara and the children he had abandoned was enormous. It had piled up as high as a mountain and was impossible to move. After a long time, Frank Harper finally gathered tears in his eyes again. Not because of guilt towards his father or disappointment with his grandfather, but because of the family he failed to take care. "L

    Before Louis could decide, Kara held him back. "Honey, where do you know him?" Kara asked worriedly. "He's the man who was bumped into Emily, Mommy," Louis said lightly. Kara was stunned. He did not know that fate had its own way of bringing children together with their father. Frank understood the meaning behind that expression. Carrying Emily, he walked towards Kara. "I think we should go down now. We have to report that the kids have been found safe." Kara's breath hitched. She didn't like hearing that call. Frank seemed to have found out the identity of the twins and planned to take them from her. “I can’t let it happens.” "Yeah, we need to get down from here." Kara lifted Louis without touching his cast then held out one hand. "Come here, Emily. Mommy will carry you too." Emily shook her head. Her tiny body leaned closer to Frank. "Mommy looks pale. What if Mommy isn't strong? We could fall. It's very high." Frank's heart suddenly turned warmed. One corner of his lips cu

    "There's nothing to regret, Little Bee. You've gone through it very well," Kara said softly. "Then shall we get a gift, Mommy?" Louis' eyes lit up. Kara brought her face closer to her son. "Yes, what do you want?" Louis suddenly glanced at Emily with a crooked smile. "Lately, we keep arguing about what shape our birthday cake will be. Emily wants a pretty cake, while I want a car-shaped cake. Can each of us get one cake for this birthday?" Frank's gaze was colored with guilt, as was Kara's. She didn't dare glance at the man, afraid of finding pity or perhaps anger. "Of course you can, Little Bee. Let's order two cakes." She stroked Louis' cheek while smiling bitterly. Joyful laughter instantly echoed. The twins threw their fists up in the air. "Woohoo! It will be a fun party!” "I'm getting impatient waiting for it!" "When is your birthday?" Frank asked, ruining the smile on Kara's face. Right at that moment, they arrived at the bottom. Kara spontaneously clapped her hands, g

    Philip rushed in and grabbed Barbara's hand. Before he could say anything, Barbara was pushing again. After Briony came out, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. “Philip .... Our child has been born.”Even though his head was nodding, Philip blinked in confusion. His mouth was agape, not knowing how to respond. "Yes ...," he sighed after a few moments. Briony's cries helped him regain his senses. "Wow," Philip blinked. He bent down, stroking his wife's hair with mixed feelings. "You're so great, Babe. You can give birth that fast." Barbara smiled proudly. "Our efforts weren't in vain, Phil. I was actually scared earlier. Briony's urge was very strong. But Louis and Emily forbade me to push. I tried to hold it in until finally, I gave in." Philip sighed in amazement and disbelief. Still looking stiff, he kissed Barbara's temple. "You're amazing, Babe. I'm glad you didn't encounter any major difficulties." Philip wiped the tears from her face. "I'm happy too. But where were you? I to

    "Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!" Emily rose with a high arch of her eyebrows. "You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!" Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara's hand, pulling her to turn around. "Come on, Auntie. Let's go back to the car." However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth. "What's wrong, Auntie?" "Call Philip," she muttered softly. "What?" "Call Philip!" The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip. "Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!" "Hey, where are you guys going?" Barbara exclaimed again. The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. "Why did you leave me here alone?" Her voice was shrill. "You told us to call Uncle Philip!" Louis shook his head, not understanding. "Yeah, but don't leave me here." While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. "One person calls him. One more person, hold me!" The twins blinked. Not because they didn't understand, b

    "Hello, Orion," Emily whispered as the tiny baby in the box opened his eyes. Her hand reached out, trying to reach his chubby cheek. From the other side of the box, Louis also looked inside. "Hello, Oscar." "Louis?" Emily scolded with round eyes. "Why do you call him Oscar? This is our first meeting with him. Don't make a bad impression." Louis pursed his lips. "Okay, sorry. I'm used to it. Let me repeat." After clearing his throat, he looked down again. "Hello, Orion. It's me, Louis. I'm your cousin." Emily smiled slightly and nodded. "That's just right." After giving Louis thumbs up, she waved her hand downwards. "And I'm Emily. Nice to meet you, Orion." For a few moments, the two toddlers were busy observing Orion. Philip and Barbara were amused by their comments. "It turns out that Uncle Philip was right. Orion looks like both of his parents. His eyes are like Auntie's, while his nose and mouth are like Uncle's." "His chin also looks like Uncle’s, but his hair looks like

    A nurse tried to calm Ava. However, the woman still shook her head, rejecting all the words directed at her. She was very weak. The pain seemed to knock out all the bones in her body. Her brain could no longer function normally. "No. I have no strength anymore. I can't continue." After taking a heavy breath, Jeremy bowed. The nurse had shifted. Jeremy had more freedom to stroke Ava's hair which was wet with sweat and her face which was flooded with tears. "Ava, can you hear me? Ava?" Their gazes finally met. Jeremy could see the desperation in those brown eyes. "I can't take it anymore, Jeremy. I can't. Let the doctor take it out. I can't take it anymore." Jeremy's chest felt like it had been torn apart. He almost choked with pain. Stroking Ava's shoulder, he shook his head. "No, I know you. You're not someone who never gives up, Ava. You can do it." "But I don't have the energy anymore, Jeremy." "There is. There definitely is." Jeremy grabbed Ava's shaking fingers. "This is f

    "Look at this, Brandon." Louis placed a stack of photo paper on the table. Then, he showed them one by one to his friend. "This is a picture of Russell crying. This is a picture of him laughing. And this is a picture of Russell being angry." "Can babies get angry? Isn't he still too young to understand anything?" Brandon shook his head faintly. Louis shrugged. "I don't know about that. But when Russell sees something he doesn't like, his hands keep flapping and his mouth makes sounds ...." Louis imitated a baby's moan which made the librarian glance. "Russell also has sharp eyes, Brandon. If he feels annoyed by us, he will glare while furrowing his eyebrows." Emily touched the base of her eyebrows, checking to see if they were the same shape as Russell's eyebrows in the picture. Brandon smiled at Emily's expression. "I think he must be really cute when he's angry." "Yes!" Emily nodded quickly. "He's always cute, all the time. Louis, show him a picture of Russell in the shower."

    "Oh, look at Russell, Louis. Isn't he very handsome? He's clean and smells good." Emily put her nose closer to Russell's face. When she managed to kiss that very soft cheek, she giggled holding back her laughter. She didn't want to disturb Kara who was sleeping in Frank's arms. "Yes, he is very handsome. He looks like me. Isn't that right, Grandma?" Louis raised his gaze towards the woman holding Russell. Susan smiled amusedly. "Yes, he looks like you. Only his nose is a little sharper." Louis' lips immediately pursed. His forefinger pointed at his own nose. "How sharp do you want Russell's nose to be? My nose is already very sharp." Susan chuckled at Louis' answer. "I’m just joking, Louis. It doesn't matter whose nose is sharper. What's important is that you're both healthy." Louis nodded in agreement. His hands then rose to touch the baby's feet. "Grandma, is Russell heavy?" Susan raised her eyebrows. "Do you want to carry him?" Louis glanced at Emily. "How about you try fir

    "Hello, Good Boy," Kara held Russell carefully, as if the little creature was a very fragile pearl. Tears could not stop running down her face. After kissing the baby who was covered in a towel, Kara whispered again, "This is Mommy, Russell. I'm happy that I can finally hug you like this." While biting his lips, Frank also bowed. He stroked the tiny back then kissed his head. "And this is Daddy, Russell. Daddy is also happy that you are finally here." Still with a wide smile and red eyes, Frank looked at Kara gently. Before the pool of emotion dripped again, he quickly kissed her forehead. Kara closed her eyes accepting the warmth. "Thank you for giving birth to our son, Queen Bee," Frank whispered hoarsely. Kara smiled wider and nodded faintly. "Thank you for accompanying me here." "That's what I should have done a long time ago." Frank stroked her cheek before kissing her again. "Daddy, we want to see Russell too! Can we come closer?" Emily asked, jumping a little on the chai

    Kara was sitting on the bed. Her head rested on the broad shoulder next to her. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath."Is there any news from the Twins?" she asked quietly. Frank shook his head. His hands kept to massage Kara's fingers. "You don't need to worry about them, Queen Bee. They are independent and intelligent children. They will understand that you have to give birth soon. Let's celebrate their birthday after Russell is born, hmm?" After a short nod, Kara turned her head further. "Are you crying?" Frank's eyebrows pulled together. Moving his head away so that it would be easier to see her, he shook his head. "Why do you think I'm crying?" "Your voice is shaky, Frank." Pursing his lips, Frank took a deep breath. "I'm not crying." "Then why are your eyes red and watery?" Frank blinked firmly. "I'm not crying," he repeated with more emphasis. Still out of breath, Kara let out a laugh. Her head tilted slightly, waiting for his tears to fall. "Are you sure?"

I hope you live a long and healthy life," the blonde boy said, occasionally glancing at Emily. "Thank you, Brandon. Did you come alone?" Brandon nodded. "Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here." After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. "Happy birthday too, Emily. You're so beautiful tonight." Emily shook Brandon's hand with a sweet smile. "Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you." Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his chest. "Thank you, Emily. I deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. I want to look cool at this event." "Your mom has a good sense of fashion," Emily nodded before glancing to the side.
