99. Elizabeth's Charade
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sky brought her face closer to Elizabeth's eyes. The woman immediately tilted her head away. Her hand pressed Sky's shoulder to stop her from approaching.
"Before my patience runs out, get out of bed!"This time, Sky flinched. She quickly got down and stood up, covering her ears. Seeing her behavior, Elizabeth sighed in disbelief."You dare make fun of me? Who taught you to cover your ears when I'm advising you? Your mother?""Sorry, Grandma. It's not that I don't want to hear your voice. Uncle Ed said, if you're angry, you can pinch my ear. Because of that, I have to protect myself."Elizabeth sighed and pressed her temples. Her head started to throb. Maybe now, she really had high blood pressure."Grandma, are you okay? Does your head hurt again? Or are your ears ringing? You should watch her diet, Grandma. I heard that older people get sick more easily. You should only eat healthy food. Don't eat snack carelessly.""You thin

"Is that so?" Edmund grabbed his mother's phone on the table. The screen was still on. "And now, you can play your phone even though you're dizzy?" Elizabeth fell silent again. Why did she forget to turn off the screen earlier? "That's because I couldn't wait for you guys to come home. I meant to call you. But because I was too dizzy, I didn't call." Edmund nodded. While pocketing his hands, he looked around, looking for other evidence. "You know what, Mom? I panicked when I heard that you fell in the bathroom. But if it turns out that all of this was just a trick, don't blame me if next time I think your illness was an act." Elizabeth opened her mouth, about to argue. Before her voice could come out, Edmund said, "Alice, where is the blood pressure monitor I bought earlier?" Seeing Alice handed over the new device, Elizabeth's breath hitched. "You want to check me? Why don't you use a blood pressure monitor there?" She pointed at the

"Alice, what did you give me?" Elizabeth grabbed a tissue sheet and then spitted out what she had just chewed. Hearing that, Sky stopped coloring the book. She straightened her head. Her mother was showing the contents of the bowl to Elizabeth. "This is Moroccan Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup, a good menu for hypertension sufferers. It looks delicious. Don't you like it?" "Just try it yourself. It tastes bland. Did they run out of salt?" "Grandma?" Sky put her colored pencil on the table. "You are sick because your blood pressure is high. You can't eat salt." Elizabeth was startled. She just remembered that there were other people in the room besides Alice and herself. "But this isn't delicious at all. How am I going to eat? My appetite disappeared as soon as I tried it." "What if you just eat the chicken?" Alice prepared the next bite. Elizabeth immediately covered her mouth with one hand. "No. I don't want to eat that
Mr. President's Lost Wife 102. Sky's Defense
Alice was stunned to hear Sky's assessment. After a blink, she shook her head."I'm not sad, Honey. You and your papa love me. That's more than enough." "You're still happy even though Grandma doesn't love you?" Sky asked in surprise. Alice shrugged. "Yeah. We can't force other people to like us." "But Mama loves Grandma?" Alice fell silent again. "She's my mother-in-law. I have to respect her." "Oh, I understand now. Mama is kind to Grandma not to get something in return, but because she is Uncle Ed's mother. Just like me and Papa Lucas." Alice shook her head at that name. "Papa Lucas?" Sky nodded. "When we were still living with him, I always hoped that Papa Lucas would love me as much as I loved him. Because of that, I often felt sad and angry every time Papa Lucas ignored me. But after finding out that Uncle Ed was my real father, I no longer had hope in Papa Lucas. I'm not afraid that he do
Mr. President's Lost Wife 103. Giselle's Intimidation
"Giselle, I want to take medicine. Can you help me?" Elizabeth's voice attracted all attention. Giselle rushed back to her side. However, instead of reaching for the medicine on the table, she opened her bag. Seeing that, Alice blinked in surprise. "Is that part of their plan?" she thought. Suddenly, Elizabeth laughed. "Jeez, Giselle. You're asking for a prescription from your personal doctor again? You're so kind." "Yes, this is the most effective blood pressure-lowering drug in the medical world. You will be healthy again in a blink of an eye." "Can I see the medicine?" Alice inquired, freezing Giselle and Elizabeth's movements. Before Alice arrived in front of her, Giselle quickly exchanged the vitamin for real medicine. "You're afraid I'll poison your mother -in-law?" Giselle said while handing her the medicine. Her tone was like joking. While Alice checked it, Elizabeth snorted. "Alice, you are

Giselle's eyes widened slightly. Her jaw throbbed. Her chest grew hotter, especially when Alice patted her shoulder as if to comfort her. "I'm sorry I made Ed fascinated by me. But believe me, Giselle. The fate of love has been arranged. Ed married me because he is not your soul mate. I'm glad you have accepted that fact and let it go." While Giselle was sighing in disbelief, Alice took her hand, giving it a light pat. "One day, you will definitely meet your soul mate, someone who truly loves you. And you don't need to worry about what other people say to me. I won't be affected." Alice leaned closer to Giselle's ear. With a small smile, she whispered, "I don't know what I was like before, but the current me feels very grateful to have Ed by my side. I would be a fool if I still doubted his love. He clearly loves me very much. Otherwise, why would he looking and waiting for me for five years? He even filled every day with memories of me. Is it possibl

Edmund turned to Alice. "Are you okay?" Alice smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Don't worry." "Yes, Mama is doing her job very well. Look at this, Uncle. Her face is smiling. Mama is facing Grandma patiently." Sky turned the paper over. There was a trolley now. The fat woman raised one hand and turned her head in the opposite direction. "Let me guess. Your grandmother didn't want to eat." Sky nodded vigorously. "Yes! Grandma said she didn't want to eat healthy food because it was a boring menu. She said she wanted pizza with a lot of cheese. I warned her that pizza wasn't healthy, but Grandma didn't want to listen. Mama had to take the trolley out." Sky pointed to the next picture. "Mama also reminded Grandma to take medicine, but Grandma refused. She said she usually took medicine at night. She didn't want to take medicine during the day. Grandma even accused Mama of wanting to poison her. But Mama remained patient."

Edmund put on a more serious look. "You ate snacks, Mom. You must have known that the sodium content was high, so why did you eat three large packets? Did you deliberately raise your blood pressure so you could ask Alice to look after you?" Elizabeth didn't answer. Blinking slowly, she looked away. "Then you asked for pizza, while Mrs. Klein and the others had made special menu for you. I don't think you're stupid enough to believe Giselle. Healthy pizza, really? The sodium content is still high even without cheese. Are you a child? Don't you have good self-control? Or did you deliberately make you blood pressure rise so you can blame Alice?" Elizabeth glanced for a second, but her lips remained tightly pressed. Edmund suspected that she was cursing under her breath. He glanced at the monitor. Seeing that the blood pressure numbers were still stable, he continued. "Please be honest, Mom. What did you receive from Giselle? Blood pressure-lowering medic

Edmund entered Sky's room without making a sound. Even though the lights were turned off, he could vaguely see Alice lying on her side hugging their little daughter. "Why is Mom so heartless towards Alice? Alice is a very good wife and mother. She is also a caring daughter-in-law. Why can't Mom accept her well?" Edmund mused bitterly. After one breath, he sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at his poor wife. Feeling pity, he began to gently stroke her hair. "Sorry I haven't given you the best. Sorry I haven't changed my mother." Either because of Edmund's touch or whisper, Alice woke up. "Ed?" She let go of Sky carefully then got up. "What's wrong? Did something happen to your mother?" Hearing that worry, Edmund's breathing became heavier. "No, she is fine. Her blood pressure has dropped. I have also asked the nurse to accompany her and check her again." Alice blinked for a moment. "Then what are you doing here? Didn't you sa

"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

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.

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

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
