Emily put her hands together in front of her chest. Her prayer sounded loud in the car. Louis could only agree. He was too busy thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

In the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly, Emily felt a vibration from her watch. Seeing the call coming from Frank, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy!"

"Princess, where is your brother?"

Emily brought her watch closer to Louis.

"Daddy! We are under attack. We’re hiding in the Range Rover, but it turns out, they have a level 8 rifle! The car window can only withstand two shots. The left-side window has been hit twice! So I turned the car to face the rifle,” Louis explained before flinching because a bullet had just hit the windshield.

"Turn the car towards seven o'clock!"

"Okay, Daddy. Seven o'clock, seven o'clock."

"That way, Louis!" Emily helped him thinking.

Quickly, Louis carried out the order. Just as he stopped the car, a bullet hit the arm of the man with the rifle.

"Aargh!"

    Louis chuckled. Wrapping his little arms around Frank's body, he said, "You can't fail, Daddy. You’re too great. The proof is that Emily and I are fine now." "Yes," the little girl continued, "Daddy came on time. Daddy was able to beat Victor. Daddy also managed to save Louis from being shot. Daddy was great!" Frank glanced at his daughter. Stretching out another hand, he widened his smile. "Come here, Princess." "Oh, I like hugs." With a sweet smile, Emily joined in her father's arm. There, she felt safe and warm. "Thank you, Daddy. Thank you for coming here and saving us. I missed you so much." Emily buried her chubby cheek on Frank's chest. "Yes, I missed Daddy too." Louis looked up, resting his pointy chin on Frank's shoulder. "Victor said he wanted to sell us to someone else. I can't imagine what would happen to me if my parents weren't Daddy and Mommy. I would definitely feel empty and miserable." Frank smiled meaningfully. His eyes sparkled at the twins, full of pride. "

    Horrified, the twins immediately leaned closer to their father. Frank reassured them with a brief smile. "Mrs. Moore, we are sorry for the misfortune that befell your family. You need to know, we had no intention of bringing anyone down. All we did was defending ourselves. You were the ones who attacked us first in various ways. Your husband even intended to shot my son earlier." "Don't distort the facts!" Patricia pointed her finger at Frank. "You came here on purpose and created chaos. Then you accused my husband of nonsense even though you were the one who was at fault!" "Are you angry because we broke the tables and chairs here?" Louis spoke up. "Sorry. But we did it because we didn't want to be thrown overboard." "Yes, Louis and I don't want to be separated." "Shut up! I've had enough of your acting." Before Patricia cursed any longer, Frank straightened his hand. "That's enough, Mrs. Moore. I hope you can learn from the mistakes of your husband and daughter. If you kept bl

    "Philip?" Barbara covered her mouth with one hand. Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes again. But this time, the meaning was different. "Philip, you’re safe?" Barbara snatched the phone from Kara. With two hands, she cupped it as if it were a very precious object. "Yes, Auntie. Philip is safe." Barbara let out a laugh. Her eyes twinkled at the figure she missed so much. However, when her laughter died down, the curve of her lips changed direction. "But, why isn't he moving? He's still breathing, right? Philip is still alive, right?" Barbara shook the phone as if it were her lover. "Philip is fine, Auntie. He's just sleeping. Maybe Philip is sleepy after taking medicine," Emily explained as she sat near Philip's legs. "What medicine? Why is he taking medicine?" Emily fell silent. Her eyes flickered. "Painkillers?" she answered doubtfully. "You said Philip was okay?" Before Barbara went berserk, Frank spoke up. "He said he was fine, Barbara. Only his waist and left leg h

    Jeremy shrugged. He glanced briefly at Ava before returning to watching the harmony of his brother's family. "I don't know. I didn't count it." A second later, Jeremy said nothing more. The silence made Ava's eyebrows furrow slightly. "Why are you here?" "Are you the only one allowed to stand here?" Sighing, Ava looked away. Her eyes rolled faintly. "Did you come to blame me? Do you want to sue me for the accident that happened to us earlier?" Jeremy didn't answer. He just pocketed his hands, standing more relaxed. "Why are you silent? Say what you want to say. Do you want to scold me? Do it! I'm ready." "Are you okay?" Ava flinched. Her head tilted back, her blinking stopped. Getting no response, Jeremy glanced over. His eyes were dim. "You told me to say what I wanted to say. After I said it, you kept quiet?" Ava exhaled quickly. Turning around, she muttered, "There's no point in me keeping up with your jokes. It's not funny at all." Just as her feet were about to take a

    "If you’re not friends, I think that's okay. You can be a boyfriend and girlfriend. Ava is a good person, Uncle," Louis nodded reassuringly. Emily imitated him. "And she's also beautiful and kind. Ava suits you well, Uncle." As Ava and Jeremy fell silent, Kara laughed lightly. "Little Angels, how about we catch up with Philip? Poor Uncle Jeremy and Ava if you keep teasing them. They could turn into boiled crabs." "That's a great idea, Mommy." A second later, Emily took Ava's hand. "Come on, Auntie. Let's go together. Don't be shy with us." Instead of following the little girl, Ava politely let go of her hand. Her face frowned, showing reluctance. "What's wrong, Ava?" Emily asked in a disappointed tone. Her shoulders even drooped slightly. "Sorry, Emily. I can't come with you. I've been away from my mother and your grandmother for too long. I have to go home now." "Mrs. Bell is looking after them. You don’t need to worry," Louis shook his head slowly. "Yes, but that is my job,

    "What?" Ava turned around with her face still wrinkled. However, when she saw her mother, she gasped. "Mom?" Ava walked stiffly towards the bed. With teary eyes, she grabbed Mrs. Connor's fingers. "You’re awake?" Mrs. Connor blinked. Her fingers moved slightly. Seeing that response, Ava's laughter spread into the air. "Oh my God! The miracle I've been waiting for has finally come." Ava hugged her mother and shed tears. "Oh, thanks God. Thanks." She kissed her mother repeatedly. Her hand gripped the weak fingers as if she was reluctant to let go. "Thanks for waking up, Mom. Thanks for sticking around for a few months. You're amazing." After wiping her eyes, she looked at her mother closely. "Do you need anything? Do you want something to drink? Are you thirsty?" Mrs. Connor opened her mouth with difficulty. Her jaw was stiff. She hadn't used it for too long. At that moment, Ava gasped. "Wait. This isn't right. I can't immediately offer you a drink. Doctor has to examine you fir

    "What you heard was like singing, right?" Mrs. Connor nodded faintly. Smiling, Ava glanced at Jeremy. "On New Year's Eve, they sang a song to entertain my mother." Ava shifted her gaze back to her mother. "At that moment, your finger started moving. I didn't think you really heard it. Do you want to meet them?" Mrs. Connor closed her eyes for a longer time when she blinked. "They led me. I ... followed their voices." Ava widened her smile. "They are truly extraordinary children." "I can tell them that your mother wakes up. They will definitely come here straight away." Jeremy spoke casually. Ava smiled, appreciating his attempt at their friendship. "Not now. They've been through a lot today. Let them go home and rest." Jeremy raised an eyebrow. He just found out that Ava was that understanding. "Then I'll ask Frank to tell them the good news before they go to bed." Ava nodded. "That must be fine. For now, just let them gather with their families." *** "Daddy, do you think Un

    "Were you the ones singing at that time?" Mrs. Connor asked in inaudible voice.The twins fell silent. With frozen smiles, they blinked to guess it. "What did she just say?" Louis glanced at his younger sister. Emily shrugged her shoulders vaguely, afraid to offend the woman. "I don't know." Smiling, Ava got up from her chair. "You won't be able to hear my mother from there. Come here." She reached out her hand. The twins' faces lit up again. Happily, they let Ava sit them on her lap. "Were you the ones singing at that time?" The twins' mouths rounded. "Oh, that's it," Louis muttered before nodding. "Yes, we were the ones singing that time. Did you like our singing?" Mrs. Connor whispered, "Very sweet." Emily laughed while covering her mouth. "You don't need to lie to please Louis, Mrs. Connor. It's okay. We realized that our voices were a bit off at the time, especially Louis'." Louis elbowed his sister's arm. His lips were pursed, his brows furrowed. "I told you it's vibr

    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.
