Instead of giving the envelope, Lucas opened it. Sky's neck stretched, waiting for its contents to be taken out. However, before Lucas had time to pull it, an employee came.
"Mr. Hills, I'm sorry. Could you come to the lobby please? There's something important you need to handle immediately."Edmund's brows furrowed. "What is it?"The employee glanced at Lucas for a moment. Worried that the company's secret would be exposed, he leaned closer to Edmund's ear."Miss Williams came to renegotiate the deal. She brought a new offer and also the contract. We refused her arrival and explained that your decision was irrevocable, but she insisted.""Just drag her out," Edmund said casually.The employee frowned. He bowed again. "The problem is ... she came with journalists. She threatened to spread negative news to all television stations if you rudely refused. She lied to the journalists, telling them that today we had aRelated chapters
Mr. President's Lost Wife 137. Too Painful
Seeing Alice wince in pain, Lucas rushed to hold her arm. "Alice, are you okay?" "No!" Alice rejected his touch, taking a step back. But her balance was disturbed. She quickly grabbed onto the table. While looking down, she caught her breath. “Turn it off …. Turn it off now!” Lucas was caught indilemma. He didn't know whether to stick to the plan or prioritize Alice's safety. Realizing she couldn't rely on Lucas, Alice grabbed the phone. Unfortunately, Elizabeth was pushing her in the recording. Watching it, her head grew dizzier. "Aaargh ...." "Alice?" Again, Alice raised her hand, indicating for Lucas not to touch her. Her eyes were closed tightly. Her lips curled into a painful grin. But the dizziness in her head only got worse. Faintly, another sound began to echo. "If I knew it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have stopped you when you were about to jump on th

Scott glanced sideways. Alice was still looking down with both hands holding her head. Sky who was standing nearby was pouting. She was clearly confused and scared. "Okay. Let me try." After taking a deep breath, Scott inched closer. "Alice .... Do you remember me? I'm Scott, your friend. I intend to help you get out of this place. I think you'd better calm down first. How about we get out of here?" While catching her breath, Alice peeked out. Her lips were still grimacing. "Where are you taking me?" "To the hospital? You just got your memory back. It would be better if the doctor checked your condition first. Look at Sky. She's really worried about you. You can't possibly let her get scared, right?" Alice bowed her head. Sky was looking up with eyes clouded with worry. "Uncle Scott is right, Mama. You need to go to the hospital immediately. I'm afraid there's something wrong with your brain." Her vo

Sky furrowed her brows more deeply. "Then where are we going, Mama? Is it Papa Lucas' inn? But earlier, Mama was also angry with him. I think Mama needs to get away from him too." Sighing in pity, Alice stroked Sky's hair. "We will stay at Aunt Emma's house." "Aunt Emma and Uncle Henry don't mind? We're not their family." Alice shook her head slowly. "We are their friends. A good friend always cares and is willing to help. You don't mind staying with Aunt Emma for a while, right?" Sky shook her head quickly. "If they don't mind, I'll be happy to stay at their house. Let's just say, that's my promise that has been delayed. Do you remember, Mama? They did invite me to stay at their house. But that was only for one night. Now we don't know how many nights we'll stay there." Alice didn't know how to respond. She just smiled, hoping her sadness wouldn't show. "Alice!" Someone suddenly called.Alice and Sky

"Finally, you're home. I can't wait to have dinner with you. Tonight's menu is my favorite," Elizabeth said when she arrived downstairs. A second later, she stretched her neck. She watched the door as if waiting for the others to arrive. However, there was only Edmund with Sky's backpack and the green teddy bear. "Oh? You go home alone? Where are Alice and Sky?" Her acting was very concerning. Instead of replying, Edmund walked straight towards the stairs. He was to tired to face his mother. Elizabeth knew very well that Edmund was upset. She understood that it was a good sign for their mission. However, as a mother, she never liked being ignored by her son. "Ed? Your mother is talking to you. Why don't you answer?" While going up the stairs, Edmund still thought she wasn't there. Elizabeth's joy was slowly eroded by anger. "Ed? What's wrong with you? I just welcomed you home, but you're ignoring me?
Mr. President's Lost Wife 141. Close to Them
"How long have you been here?" Emma asked. Edmund blinked stiffly. He was afraid of being kicked out. "Recently." "Do you want me to check the CCTV?" Emma raised an eyebrow. Edmund took a deep breath. "Can't I wait here? I promise I won't show up in front of Alice. I just want to be near them. I won't be a bother. I'll just sit still here." Emma placed one hand on the car. Her expression was serious. "You remember that you also have a life, right? You're a CEO. You have a lot of things to take care of, including your own health." "I know. Don't worry. I've brought my own needs. Water, food, clothes. I even took a shower before coming here." "And that?" Emma pointed to the small backpack on the next seat. A green teddy bear sat there. "You intend to meet Sky?" Edmund fell silent for a moment. "Can I?" Emma took a deep breath and put her hands on her hips. "Listen, Ed. Even Sky and I have t
Mr. President's Lost Wife 142. Alice's Mind
When Edmund took out a green teddy bear, Sky's jaw dropped. "Papa did bring Grassy! As I thought, Papa wouldn't leave Grassy at the office." Her laughter was in the air.When her father handed her the bear, Sky immediately jumped to catch it. "Thank you, Papa. I think I can sleep well tonight even though I can't hug you." Edmund smiled faintly. "Besides, I also brought this." Seeing a backpack full of pins, Sky's laughter echoed again. She jumped up and down. "My bag!" While helping Sky carry the full bag, Edmund let out a faint sigh. "You never go without your bag, right?" "Yeah, an adventurer must always be prepared and full of supplies. What did you put in here, Papa? Why is it so full?" Sky patted her bag. It was bulging but not too heavy. "Open it later when you're inside. Now I have to go back to hiding. Don't let your mother see me. I don't want her to cry again." Sky nodded in agre

"Oh, Alice ...." Emma pulled her into a hug. "You don't need to rush. We understand your condition. It must be very difficult. Slowly, let's heal your wounds, hmm?" "But what about Sky? And Ed? We promised to always be together, but I failed to keep it." While patting her back, Emma tried to calm her down. Without their knowing, a little girl was listening to their conversation. Hearing her mother's sobs, she didn't come in. The smile had disappeared from her face. Her eyes were now sad, her head bowed. While hugging Grassy, Sky returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa, her gaze hanging. After a blink, she turned the teddy over, giving it a gentle rub. "Grassy, what should we do? Mama still seems angry with Papa. Can they get back together?" Biting her lip, Sky turned to the window. Longing weighed on her heart. After pondering for a moment, she took the Rocky Talkie from her bag. "Papa, do you hear me?"
Mr. President's Lost Wife 144. Restless Guy
Sky stepped backed towards the door. Standing on tiptoe, she waved her hand. Her mouth moved silently, but Edmund knew what she wanted to say. "I love you, Papa." Edmund waved back. After that, he drove to the office. He couldn't wait to finish his work so he could "go home" sooner. Alice and Sky were his home. As Edmund left, Sky stared at the air. She felt a little empty in her heart. However, remembering that Rocky Talkie could connect her with Edmund, her smile brightened again. With a small hum, she walked like a penguin into the house. When Sky had just closed the door, her eyes got widened. Something crossed her mind. "I forgot to remind Papa to have breakfast! While Mama is still washing the dishes, I have to get my Rocky Talkie." Sky turned around, ready to run. Unfortunately, before she could take many steps, someone knocked on the door. "Oh? Is that Papa? Or Uncle Henry? Is there something left behind
