Mr. President's Lost Wife 12. Hurt Again
As Lucas and Rachel fell silent, Edmund was secretly touched by Sky's attention. He felt guilty for failing to control his emotions. Sky fell and felt sad because of it. “Hey, you don't need to cry. I'm fine. A blow like that means nothing to me. Now, what about you? You fell earlier. Are you hurt?” While Sky checked her elbow, Rachel was stunned. For some reason, she felt that Edmund's concern for Sky was truly sincere. "Oh, I'm hurt again," Sky muttered before letting go of Ed and checking another elbow. “This one too.” Ignoring the hand that was still gripping his collar, Edmund straightened up in his sitting position. Carefully, he rolled up the sleeves of Sky's hoodie until he found the wound. "Does it hurt?" he asked quietly. Sky shook her head. “Not really, it just stings a little. I carry plaster and red medicine in my bag. I can treat it after this.” “Want me to help?” Suddenly, Lucas jerked Edmund by the collar. He couldn't accept seeing Sky being close to another ma

Edmund carried out a deeper search. His finger kept to slide across the screen. He only stopped when he found out Lucas and Rachel's wedding date. "They were married before Alice went missing?" Edmund glanced at Lucas suspiciously. He watched his movements for a moment. When his curiosity peaked, he rushed back to the hotel. He had a lot of things to take care of immediately—investigating Lucas, finding their address, and making plans. He also had to tell Scott that he would be taking a longer leave. Until the truth was revealed and Alice returned to him with their baby, he wouldn't stop fighting.*** Upon arriving at the hotel, Sky kept glancing left and right. She hoped that Edmund would appear and greet her. There were many things she wanted to tell about her journey earlier. Unfortunately, until she entered the room, Edmund was completely invisible. “Honey, why do you look gloomy? Are you unhappy with our trip today?” Rachel asked as she brushed her daughter's hair. Sky blin

Rachel was speechless. She couldn't forbid Sky and make her sad again. After inviting Edmund in, she accompanied her daughter to take a shower. While waiting, Edmund looked around. There wasn't much he could observe. There was only Sky's and Rachel's backpack on the table. Feeling that the situation was safe, Edmund took out a plastic wrap. Swiftly, he put in a strand of hair that he had secretly taken while helping Sky take off the hoodie. “Once the result is out, they won't be able to escape anymore. Rachel is Alice and Sky is my daughter," he thought before putting the evidence in his trouser pocket. "Mister Edmund!" Sky suddenly appeared again. Her smile was so wide. She looked very small with her body wrapped in a towel. “Please be patient . I'll get dressed quickly." “Sky!” Rachel's voice echoed from the room. Giggling, Sky came back in. Edmund unconsciously smiled at her behavior. He could imagine how happy he would be if her cheerfulness filled his life. However, reali

“Then feed me first.” Sky handed her fork to Edmund. The man greeted her idea with a bright smile. "Be careful. Just bite the meat.” However, Sky devoured the steak pieces quickly. While chewing, she frowned. “It tastes the same. You tricked me." "Or ... could it be that you don't love me?" Edmund raised an eyebrow. His tone was quite provoking. “You're my friend. How could I not love you? Moreover, you have been nice to me." Edmund never knew that he could feel sad and happy at the same time. "Is it true? Well then, try again. Eat with your eyes closed. Chew well.” Sky accepted the steak without suspicion. She didn't know that Edmund was on a mission of penance. The man felt guilty that he could only now feed his daughter. "How? Is it more delicious?” "Nothing changes! Ah, I got fooled again!” Edmund laughed heartily. While cutting his own steak, he waited for the right time to ask. "Sky, what do you think would happen if you were my daughter?" Sky stared at Edmund without

"What do you need here?" Edmund asked coldly.Instead of answering, Lucas barged in. He intended to interrogate and intimidate Edmund inside. But when he sat on the sofa, his gaze fell on the long strands of hair wrapped in transparent plastic. Noticing the direction of Lucas' eyes, Edmund's body stiffened. He quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the table. Unfortunately, before he could reach the sample hair, Lucas grabbed it first. "What's this? You secretly took my daughter's hair? What's your purpose, hmm? You really intend to take my wife and child away!" Lucas shouted with wide eyes. Edmund's jaw was throbbing. He had actually been fed up with Lucas since their first meeting. Now, after that loud bluff, his hatred multiplied and was no longer unbearable. "How dare you call Sky your daughter?" Lucas flinched at Edmund's cold tone. "What do you mean? Isn't it clear that she's my child?” His voice dropped drastically. Edmund looked down with a snort. “I don't think we

“See you again, Ma'am. Thank you for bringing Sky here. I am very happy to get to know her.” Before Rachel could respond, Lucas snatched the handshake. "You're welcome. Thank you for being Sky's friend on this journey. I'm sure you will be a sweet memory that she will remember forever." Edmund almost snorted. His hand gripped Lucas tighter. “Sweet child like Sky deserves sweet memories. I would be very happy if I could be a part of her other memories. The more, the better.” Lucas didn't like Edmund's mysterious smile. As if there was something he was planning. After making sure that none of Sky's hair was stuck to Edmund's clothes or hands, he hurried to take his wife and child out of the lobby. Unbeknownst to him, Edmund was secretly smiling. “Just wait and see, Lucas Palmer. I will take my wife and child home. They deserve to live life with their real family.” *** “Gusi, pay attention to my order! Don't be a naughty goose. When I count to three, you have to make a sound. Unde

Sky sneered at Rachel's question. “Why did Mama sound like Papa? Do you not like Uncle Edmund too, Mama?" "No. It is not like that." Rachel glanced behind briefly. Not finding Lucas, she whispered, "Mama likes him too. He can make you laugh and he is also caring. I am glad you have a friend like him, even though he is a little strange and mysterious.” "Well then," Sky sat up, "how about Mama join me to welcome him later? I can choose an easy job for you.” Rachel was wide-eyed. "Me? Joining to welcome him? No, Honey." “We can prepare a crown from twigs. When Uncle Edmund comes, Mama can put the crown on his head.” Rachel shook her head quickly. Just imagining it made her cringe, let alone doing it. "No, Honey. That's not a good idea. Papa might get jealous and hit him again.”“Why is Papa jealous? Isn't that just a normal welcome? We once got a flower necklace and Mama wasn't jealous when the hotel staff put it around Papa's neck. Besides, that's just putting down the crown, Mama.

"Sorry, Sky. I have to tell the truth. Your papa is the most handsome man to me." Hearing Rachel's loud statement, Edmund's heart cracked. His eyes dimmed as the curve of his lips turned away. Alice once said that she preferred men's faces without beards. Because of that, Edmund deliberately returned to his old appearance. He hoped that Alice could open her heart once again, or maybe remember what she had forgotten. But apparently, the woman instead chose Lucas, a man with thin beards and a scruffier appearance? Why was Alice so adamant in maintaining her identity as Lucas' wife? Why did she still feel like hiding behind Rachel's name? “Mama, that's not my question. I asked whether Uncle Edmund was more handsome without his beard or not. We don't have to compare him to Papa. Of course Papa is more handsome." Edmund's breathing became heavier. His chest was tight, as if something was stuck in his lungs. Sky poked a deeper wound into his heart. Hunter noticed the change in the sp

"Sky, we should have brought that rifle too. Why did we leave it in the tent? The hunter could have taken it," Emily whispered as she shook Sky's hand. Feeling uncomfortable, Louis elbowed his sister in the arm. "Emily, there's nothing to regret. We'd better think of a way to defeat this evil man." "You think you can beat me?" The hunter laughed harshly. "Don't dream!" The hunter raised his rifle again. However, when he was about to aim, a strange sound came from above. Seeing a big orangutan about to jump from a branch, Sky hurriedly pulled the twins to run. She no longer cared about the rifle lying on the ground. She knew very well that angry orangutan was much more dangerous than the hunter. Meanwhile, the hunter was already stunned. He could only scream when the large mammal fell on him. The other hunters who watched did not dare to act. They didn't even move, afraid that the orangutan would think of them as their next target. "Aaargh! You guys .... Don't just sta
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 9. Accurate Shot
The twins fell silent. They didn't know what the right answer was. They didn't want to go back to that cramped confinement, but they also didn't want to be shot. Moreover, the hunter in front of them seemed serious about his threat. "Louis, I don't think we should fight back. He won't hesitate to shoot us. Look, his finger is ready to pull the trigger," Emily whispered anxiously. Louis swallowed hard. He agreed with his sister, but was reluctant to admit it. "Relax, Emily. There must be other ways to survive." He thought hard, forcing his brain to come up with spontaneous ideas. "Sir, how about we negotiate?" he said unexpectedly. The hunter pulled his eyes back from the lookout hole. One of his eyebrows rose. He didn't expect to hear those words. "What kind of negotiation can a little kid like you offer?" "We are not ordinary kids. We are the heirs of the Savior Group, potential great leaders in the future. If you are willing to free us, we will pay you a large amount.
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 8. Final Warning
"Papa, what a coincidence, Louis' GPS is with me. I'm looking at the coordinates of our location," Sky blinked stiffly. "That's great, Baby. Can you tell me the coordinates? I will be heading straight there." Sky swallowed hard. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. "That's the problem. I forgot the numbers I had memorized." Edmund fell silent for a moment. Sky could imagine him sighing in disappointment. "Papa, are you angry? Change." "No, Baby. I'm not angry. I understand that you are too nervous. Try to take a deep breath, calm your mind. You have managed to remember all the numbers and even letters, Darling. Slowly, you will be able to read them." Sky followed Edmund's advice. After closing her eyes for a moment, she looked carefully at the coordinates. "There's a little line sleeping here, Papa." "Okay. That's a negative sign. It means you are south of the equator. Then?" "There's an egg. It's zero, right?" "Yes. You're doing well so far. What's next, D
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 7. Caught
"Do I see correctly? There is a human child in the middle of the forest?" The man spoke a language that Louis and Emily didn't understand. An annoyed chuckle came from the other man. "Damn! Just adding to our work." "What should we do now?" "What else? We can't possibly let them escape. They can report to other people. Our plan could be ruined. Let's catch them!" The twins blinked at the rifle pointed at them. Emily immediately hid behind Louis' back, while Louis bravely stepped forward and stretched his arms in front of Mimi. "Don't hurt these orangutans! They are rare animals protected by the whole world. They should not be hunted and traded!" Louis exclaimed loudly. Over Louis' shoulder, Emily peeked out. "Yes! Orangutans must be conserved, not hunted. Don't you feel sorry for them? Look! The baby is scared!" Unexpectedly, the two hunters laughed. Not long after that, another person arrived with a frightening aura. His skin color was much paler than his friends. Obvio
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 6. The Right Decision
"No, Louis." Emily frowned. "We can't leave Mimi here alone. She could die." "But that's what she wants. She wants her child to be safe! She will survive. We just need to save her child quickly. I think we can do it. We are trained children, you remember?" Once again, Emily shook her head firmly. "No, Louis. That's too risky. We can't be selfish and think about our own pleasure. How about we just call the forest house? This is a serious matter." While Louis took a deep breath, Sky knitted her eyebrows. She looked very serious with her lips folded inward. "I think Emily is right. We can't solve this problem alone. We need help from adults. Our parents and the foundation people. We have to report this to them. Mimi needs medical help, while the poachers need to be caught." Louis pondered for a moment. He was actually reluctant to contact his parents. He wanted to be independent. However, Emily and Sky's words made sense. The problem was too big for them. "Okay. I'll call Dad
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 5. The Gunshots
"Sky, what's that sound?" Emily whispered in a choked voice. "Is that an explosion?" "I think it was the sound of a gun," Louis interrupted before grabbing the smaller girl's arm. "Sky, could it be a poacher?" Sky blinked angrily. "Maybe yes. This area is outside the scope of the foundation. The patrol team only checks it occasionally, when they have time." "Isn't illegal hunting prohibited? Only bad people still kill animals. What do you think they just shot, Sky? Is it an orangutan?" Louis asked with a serious expression. Emily immediately shuddered in horror. "Oh, if the hunters are targeting orangutan, I hope it manages to escape and survive. Orangutans are rare animals. It would be a shame if they became extinct." "And I hope it's not Mimi," Sky continued, stomping her foot. "She always takes her child everywhere. She must have difficulty moving and is vulnerable to attacks." "How about we check it? If it is indeed the work of poachers, we can immediately report this
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 4. Children's Adventures
"Honey, have you seen the kids?" Alice asked as she approached Edmund. "Kids?" Edmund looked away from his laptop. His eyebrows raised. "Aren't they still sleeping? I didn't see them come out of the tent." "I thought so too. But after I checked, they weren't there." Edmund looked around. His eyes and ears sharpened. However, no trace of the children was detected. "Are they playing in the back garden?" Alice shook her head. "I've checked it. They're not there." "Chicken coop? Who knows, Sky took the twins to see the chicks." "Not there too." Edmund snapped his fingers. "The geese coop! They must be playing with Gigi and Gusi." Alice took a deep breath. The lines on her forehead looked clearer. "I've looked everywhere, Ed. They're not anywhere." "Have you searched the house? Who knows, they might be playing hide and seek. They might be hiding somewhere." Edmund got up from the chair, about to check another room. At that moment, Russell ran out of the gue
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 3. Louis' Promise
Louis' brows furrowed at Edmund's question. "Why did you ask that, Sir? Of course I love Sky. She's my friend. She's like a little sister to me." Edmund blinked stiffly. "Is that so? You think of her as a little sister?" Louis nodded firmly. "Yeah, I think Emily is like that too. She used to want a younger sister. When Russell was born, she was sad. Sky's presence helped her to forget that disappointment." Edmund's lips slowly pursed. His hands were shoved into his pockets. "So, you consider my daughter to be your sister?" he muttered. For some reason, a feeling of relief rose in his heart. "Does it mean you will look after her like your little sister?" "Yes, I will take good care of Sky. I won't make her cry." Edmund's eyebrows knitted together. "But earlier, I saw you picking on Emily. Can you be trusted to look after your younger siblings?" Louis' lips suddenly twitched. While scratching his temple, he chuckled. "About that, I actually like teasing Emily. She's a cr

Everyone clapped when Sky and her animal friends finished performing. It wasn't just the Harper kids who were amazed, but their parents too. "Thank you, Sky. This is the sweetest welcome we have ever received," Kara said with a big smile. "Yes, this is an extraordinary welcome. How did you train those animals? Not just cat and dog, you also managed to train two geese." Frank gave Sky thumbs up. The little girl chuckled proudly. "That's because they're not just animals, Sir. They're my friends and they're smart. I think they want to follow my instructions because we get along well." "They're your friends?" Frank raised an eyebrow. The twins immediately scrambled to explain. "There are no other children here, Daddy. Therefore, Sky only plays with her animal friends." "Sky said she always fed them a lot. I think that's why the animals obey her. They like Sky!" Sky jumped enthusiastically. "Louis and Emily are right. Every day, I spend most of my time with my animal friend
