Standing in front of Margot, he smiled and spoke, "Long time no see, Margot."Margot's eyes were a bit red as she shook his hand and said, "Long time no see, Tommy."Tommy hugged her out of courtesy. Margot didn't refuse.But just as the two were embracing, Curtis appeared at the door.Tommy voluntarily let go of Margot and greeted Curtis, "Long time no see, Curtis."Margot's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned to look at Curtis.She thought he would be angry. After all, he used to be quite petty. He wouldn't allow her to interact with any other man, let alone embrace.But Curtis' behavior seemed indifferent; he shook hands with Tommy. "Long time no see. Is everyone here?"Natalie explained, "My parents couldn't make it due to some matters, but they thank Margot for the invitation.""Then let's all take our seats."Curtis stepped forward and took Margot's hand.Margot silently looked at him, thinking that he chose to trust her, so he didn't mind. Having such trust wa
Midway through the meal, Curtis stood up. He suppressed a cough and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll go to the restroom."He pushed his chair back and left, his face looking a bit pale.But no one else noticed except Margot.After a while, she also got up and said, "I'll go to the restroom too."In the eyes of the other three adults, they were a couple, so it was normal for them to go together, and no one paid attention.Margot arrived at the restroom door, and from behind it, she heard the sound of coughing.She knew that Curtis' condition was very serious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached the point of needing a heart transplant.But he still didn't want her and their daughter to stay in the countryside. What should she do?Since modern medical technology couldn't save him, she really could only choose to believe in that miracle doctor.But how could she convince Curtis?Feeling that Curtis was about to come out, Margot immediately turned and left.After watching Curtis en
Margot forced herself to remain calm.Facing Curtis' gaze, she replied, "Of course, I'm going back to Emeria. Where else would I go? Besides, I have business there too. I need to settle some matters, so it might take some time."Curtis continued to stare at her. "I can go with you.""With your condition, how can you come with me? You need to stay in the hospital and receive regular oxygen therapy."Curtis fell silent.Indeed, in his current condition, he wasn't suitable for traveling. He couldn't protect Margot from wind and rain, nor could he share her burdens.What use was he in front of them, mother and daughter?Margot feared that he would overthink, so she reached out and held his large hand. "Curtis, I won't be gone for long. But during the time I'm away, don't do anything, okay? Just stay in the hospital."A few days should be enough time to persuade that miracle doctor to come and cure Curtis' illness. As long as Curtis recovered, she didn't mind spending over a decade
Margot didn't want to tell anyone that Curtis was sick. Even though the Morris family was powerful, they were helpless when it came to Anthony lying in bed, let alone Curtis' condition, which required a heart transplant. Besides, Curtis was capable himself. If he couldn't figure it out, how could others help him?In Margot's eyes, the only ones who could save Curtis were herself and her daughter, so she had to take responsibility.Looking at Calvin, Ye Shengsheng said, "My relationship with Curtis is very good. Don't ask anything, just do as I say."Seeing that Margot really had something to hide, Calvin reluctantly agreed. "Okay, I'll listen to you. When should we send Anthony back?""You can prepare today and send him off tomorrow.""Okay." Calvin nodded and gestured towards the breakfast he had just prepared. "Margot, have breakfast first. I'll go to the hospital.""Okay, thank you.""What are you thanking me for? These are things that a big brother should do."Shortly a
Deep inside, Curtis was calculating something. Since they were all in the same hospital, just on different floors, Curtis soon arrived at the door of Anthony's hospital room, holding his daughter's hand.Knowing that Anthony was about to return to Emeria, Curtis felt that he should see him one last time. Regardless of whether it was to apologize or express regret, he had to say a few words to him.He raised his hand and knocked on the door, which was opened by a nurse hired by the Morris family. Regina hadn't come to the hospital recently due to feeling unwell, and Calvin was busy preparing to send Anthony back to Emeria.Curtis entered the room with his daughter and instructed, "Both of you leave. I have something to say to him."The two nurses didn't recognize Curtis and looked to Anthony for help.As Anthony saw Curtis, his eyes filled with intense hatred, his handsome face contorted in anger. He wanted to clench his fists and exert force, but he couldn't feel anything
Why did Curtis come to find Anthony?Because if Lilac stayed by Anthony's side, she wouldn't miss Curtis so much. This way, she wouldn't cause trouble when he left, right?Thinking about Margot, Curtis felt that he owed her too much. He couldn't bear to let her take her daughter to the countryside for more than ten years. His affairs should be handled by himself alone.Lying in bed, Anthony was somewhat puzzled. Looking at Curtis, he angrily asked, "What trick are you playing now, Curtis? Don't you think you've hurt her enough?"How could Anthony not know that Margot loved this man? Just a while ago, Margot had said in front of him that she would never leave Curtis no matter what. Now that Curtis wanted to leave her voluntarily, wouldn't Margot be heartbroken?Anthony didn't deny that he hated Curtis. He had also thought about finding Curtis to settle scores once he got better. But if Margot insisted on defending this man, as her elder brother, he naturally wouldn't be able to b
Upon hearing Margot's voice, Lilac turned around and smiled sweetly. Her voice was soft and sugary as she said, "Daddy and I are playing rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses gets notes stuck on their face."She stood up and bounced over to Margot who was walking over. "Mommy, count quickly! Who has more notes on their face, me or Daddy?"Margot put down the thermos, hugged her daughter, and started counting.After counting, she looked at Curtis and smiled gently. "Lilac has fewer notes than Daddy.""Wow~~ then Lilac wins, right?"Lilac pounced on Curtis and hugged his neck, acting cute. "Daddy lost, Daddy has to kiss..."Curtis laughed and kissed his daughter's tender little face.Holding her in his lap, he looked at Margot and asked, "What did you bring for us to eat today?""What else can you eat? It has to be light."Margot scooped some into a bowl and handed it to him.Curtis didn't want to move. He looked at her with tender eyes mixed with a hint of coquetry. He said, "Ma
Upon hearing this, Lilac looked at Curtis with a distressed look. She blinked her big eyes, pouted, and was about to cry.Curtis tenderly stroked her little face and explained, "Darling, didn't you promise Daddy that you would stay with Daddy today and Uncle Anthony tomorrow? We agreed on that, right?"Lilac nodded and said, "I promised Daddy, but Daddy didn't say that I would be separated from Daddy.""Daddy has to work, so isn't that why you and Daddy will be separated?""Then Daddy, promise me not to be apart for too long, okay?"Curtis smiled, hugged his daughter, and sat her on his lap. "Okay, we won't be apart for too long, just a few days. You go with Mommy to accompany Uncle Anthony, and Daddy will wait for you at home."Lilac agreed and nestled into Curtis' arms, not letting go of his neck.Margot put away her spoon and stood up. "You two continue playing. I'll go get some medicine from the doctor.""Go ahead."Curtis didn't mind.He knew that Margot was probably jus
