Mr. President's Lost Wife 56. Bleeding
"You ...." Edmund pointed his finger at Lucas who was lying on the ground. "I've been trying not to hurt you since earlier. I don't want to be rude in front of Rachel and Sky, but you keep testing my patience." While Lucas stared at him angrily, Edmund put his hands on his hips and took a quick breath. "Come to your senses, Mister Palmer. Rachel and Sky love you very much. They don't want to part with you. You should respect them." After a breath, he lowered his tone. "Don't think nonsense because it will only ruin your happiness. Learn from my experience. I have lost the person I love most because of my stupidity. You should not follow in my footsteps. Trust your wife." After lecturing Lucas, Edmund walked over to Sky. He bent his knees, checking her condition. "Are you okay?" he whispered. Sky nodded with a confused face. "Yeah, are you hurt?" Edmund shook his head with a wry smile. "That kind of blow couldn't hurt me. I'm sorry I had to show violence in front of you. Please
Mr. President's Lost Wife 57. Sky's Worry
Everyone rushed over. Edmund was holding his head with one hand. A small moan escaped his mouth. "Mr. Hills, how are you?" Rachel asked, worried. Edmund grimaced. His eyes blinked slowly. "A little dizzy." "Can you walk?" Hunter took Sky's place, helping Edmund sit up. Unfortunately, Edmund shook his head. With Arai's help, Hunter supported him. Without wasting any more time, they went to the foundation clinic. *** Tiara said that the effects of the anesthetic would wear off soon. However, a few minutes Sky watched Edmund's eyes, they were still closed. "Come on, Uncle Ed. Wake up. Don't make me worry," Sky whispered as she stroked Edmund's pale cheek. Sky had done whatever Rachel usually did whenever she had a fever. She had kissed Edmund's forehead, giving him so many hugs. After praying for the umpteenth time, finally, Edmund began to move. "Oh? Uncle Ed? You're awake?" Sky brought her eyes closer to Edmund's face, observing carefully. When the man opened his eyes, her la
Mr. President's Lost Wife 58. Lucas' Jealousy
"You got hurt because of Lucas. He should be responsible. Since he couldn't possibly take you there, let us do it," Rachel said carefully.In an instant, Sky's eyes widened like the full moon. "Does it mean we're going to town, Mama?" Rachel nodded. Sky immediately jumped up happily. "Hooray! I still have time with Uncle Ed." A moment later, she hugged the man. "Sorry, Uncle Ed. I'm not happy that your head is leaking. It's just that we have more time to chat." Edmund looked at Sky and Rachel alternately. He hesitated. He had been trying to let them go, but why were the two people reluctant to stay away from him? That way, his defense could collapse. His thoughts could change. If that happenned, bigger problems would come. “I appreciate your good intentions, but—” "Mama, why don't we go home now?" Sky interrupted with a burst of enthusiasm. “We have to watch Uncle Ed for 48 hours, right? I have to add more supplies to my backpack." Seeing the big smile on that little face, Edmun
Mr. President's Lost Wife 59. Stupid Mistake
Rachel gasped. Her eyes widened and her lips trembled. Her breath was even held back. "Honey, why is it so sudden? Can't we postpone it to tonight. Now I have to —" "You prefer him over me?" Lucas raised an eyebrow intimidatingly. Rachel swallowed the unspoken words. While forcing her lungs to work again, she tried to reduce the stiffness. "Of course not." "Then sleep with me. Just once. After that, I will believe that you are indeed a faithful wife." Rachel didn't know what to answer anymore. She was afraid that her worries would be revealed. When Lucas started touching her, she could only bite the inside of her lips. When the man started squeezing, she could only blink and control her expression. "Kiss me," Lucas asked in a voice mixed with moaning. Rachel's breath hitched again. The tension in her nerves was no longer inevitable. All this time, it was Lucas who initiated their kiss. Something always stopped her from starting or welcoming. "You don't want to?" His tone im
Mr. President's Lost Wife 60. The Truth Revealed
Lucas tried to take her hand, but Rachel avoided. "Sorry, Lucas. I don't want to endanger myself or Sky. Your condition is unstable right now. Until you regain your sanity, let us keep our distance." "No, Rachel." Lucas hugged her legs. "You are my life. I wouldn't be able to survive without you." Suddenly, Lucas hit his own chest. The sound made Rachel glance over. "I became like this because I was afraid of losing you. I lost my mind because I didn't want you to go with him. It made me almost crazy!" But Rachel still shook her head and looked away. Her eyes grew red. "If you only believed me, you wouldn't think that, Lucas. There would be no misunderstandings and you would stay within limits." "No, Rachel. I believe you. I just don't believe him. He keeps targeting you. He wants to take you and Sky from me. He wants to take away our happiness, Darling." "It's not him who ruined our happiness, Lucas, but your own behavior. Now let me go." "Please ...." Lucas held Rachel's legs
Mr. President's Lost Wife 61. You Have Me to Protect You
"You know what? I felt it was unfair that my wife had to leave so quickly. Our time together was very short. That's why I made you her replacement." After one breath, Lucas took one step forward. "But as time went by, I no longer thought of you as the old Rachel. You were the new Rachel, a different Rachel, and I fell in love with you." A second later, he grabbed Rachel's hand. "Can't you give me a chance? Please ... stay by my side. We can be a real family. My love for you is not an act." Shaking her head, she withdrew her hand. "Sorry, Lucas. I've made up my mind. I don't want to be in your wife's shadow anymore." "No, you don't need to pretend. Just be yourself. You can change your name to whatever you want, as long as you don't change your status as my wife." "Mr. Palmer, please stop making things up," Edmund finally spoke. His expression was now cold and flat. "When did you ever marry her?" Lucas stuttered for a moment. "Shut your mouth! Don't interfere." "The one you mar
Mr. President's Lost Wife 62. Sky's Reaction
Edmund took one step forward, showing his sincerity and seriousness. He really wanted to take Alice's hand, but he held the urge back. "I once promised you that I would be a good husband for you and a good father for our children. But I haven't had the chance to fulfill that. Fate separated us. Now, because we have met again, I hope you are willing to give me the opportunity to make that happen." Alice's eyes filled with tears hearing Edmund. His words felt soothing, giving her a sense of security and trust. "Why are you still looking for me, Mr. Hills? I've been missing for years. You could have forgotten about me and looked for a new wife. But why did you come all this way to get me?" "The answer is simple, Alice. It is as simple as I love you. You may not remember, but I once swore that you were the only woman for me. Without you, I would rather be alone or dead." "Even though I'm a weak woman with a dark past? A coward who wanted to end her life twice?" Alice inquired hoarsel
Mr. President's Lost Wife 63. Sky's Tears
"Maybe someday, we can visit here. But now, we have to go with Uncle Ed," Alice answered softly.Sky looked at Edmund with pursed lips. His heart ached seeing that. "Don't you want to come with me?" he asked carefully. "Do you ... prefer to stay here?" Alice flinched. She didn't expect Edmund to dare to ask that. Things would be complicated if Sky didn't want to move. Luckily, the little girl shook her head. "If you were my Papa, of course Mama and I would have to live with you. We're family. It's just ...." She glanced at Gigi and Gusi behind. Then, she shifted her gaze towards Canis near the stairs, and Felis on the veranda. "Are my animal friends coming along?" Alice sighed in pity. "Sorry, Baby. They can't go with us." "Even Canis?" Alice nodded wordlessly. She didn't want Sky to get more of a picture. It could hurt her. Unfortunately, Sky's tears rolled down. Sky quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, but her cheeks became even wetter. "It means I have to tell

"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
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 2. Watch Over Louis
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
