Daniel was taken aback. “The Lawrence family?”He had just been transferred over from the North and was still not entirely clear on the business connections here.Moreover, he saw no connection between the famous Byron Lawrence of Lawrence Corporation and the person in front of him who looked too young to be Byron.From Daniel’s point of view, every businessman here would always try to get along with him.However, the other parents immediately recognized the three children.“Aren’t those the three genius children we’ve all heard about that just started school here?”“It should be them. A pair of twins and an adorable younger sister. It is them! We’re done for. I heard their parents are not to be trifled with.”“The… The Lawrence family? The reigning family of Coast City, the Lawrence family?”Those parents immediately look shocked with fright. There was fear in their eyes as they looked at Byron and Rosalie.One of them quickly ran over and tugged at Daniel while blinking repeatedly as
Byron turned and went to his three children. He crouched and checked Lucian and Nox’s wounds.“How do you feel? Does it hurt? Tell me what you really feel!” The look in Byron’s eyes had turned softer as he rubbed both Lucian and Nox’s heads lovingly. He also hugged Estie.Lucian and Nox gave each other a look and they nodded. “It does hurt a little, Daddy!”“Good!” A smile appeared on Byron’s lips as he asked the second question. “Do you feel angry?”This time, Nox answered, “Yes, I am! I feel really angry!”Lucian nodded as well. This was what they truly felt.Even Estie pouted and said, “I’m really angry too, Daddy. It’s horrible that they bullied my big brothers!”Byron accepted all his children’s answers. He was not in a hurry to comfort them, but instead, his tone turned grave. “So, tell me, what should be done to make you feel less angry?”The three children immediately looked at each other. They were unable to give an immediate answer.When she saw them that way, Rosalie instant
“It hurts, it hurts…”Zack wailed. There was pain in Daniel’s expression but he did not dare help his son up.When the other children saw how badly Zack fell, it scared them and they had fear in their eyes when they looked at Lucian and Nox.Lucian and Nox stared at their hands when they returned to their parent’s side. They shook their head slightly with stunned look on their faces.When Byron saw them acting this way, he immediately crouched and rubbed their heads.There was a calm look in his eyes as he said, “Remember this, Lucian and Nox, there are many kinds of people in this world. Your kindness must be used on the right people and should not be given to just anybody. When facing unreasonable people, there is no need for you to be reasonable. There is no need for too much mercy!”Rosalie felt a little moved when she heard this.These two boys had grown up with her and were both warm and kind. However, they lacked a certain steeliness in their personalities.If they continued gro
Their whole family had just arrived at the manor when Luther called to report, “President Lawrence, evidence of Daniel Lundgren’s corruption has been gathered and delivered to the relevant departments. It won’t be long before he would be fired!”When dealing with someone like that, there was no point in letting him off because Byron would never want to see his face again.Byron got off the car after parking the car and carried both sons into the house.Estie was in Rosalie’s arms and when Melody saw this, she mumbled, “You’re already such big children and yet you’re still in your parent’s arms.”Benedict, however, immediately noticed Lucian and Nox’s knees were wounded. He immediately went to them and checked their wounds. “What happened? Did you fall?”“They’re fine, Dad. I’ve helped them clean their wounds. It will heal in two days, minimum!” Rosalie replied and put Estie down.The little girl immediately went to check the wounds on her two older brothers and noticed something as she
Andrius pondered, yet he did not know how to respond.He shook his head and looked at Byron and Rosalie in a puzzle. “Byron, Rosalie, do I look different now? Why don’t I see it? At most, I only feel like I've changed my dressing style.”That answer made Rosalie and Byron feel that Andrius might not have changed. He was still as straightforward and as much of a blockhead as before.Of course, Rosalie noticed her best friend’s passionate secret glances at Andrius.Her eyes were sparkling as though she was looking at her favorite food.Andrius returned to his car and took the herbs from it.Byron nodded and smiled in appreciation. “Thank you.”Rosalie saw that those medicinal materials seemed expensive. Some were even so precious that they could not be bought with money.“These are all suitable for pregnant women. Looks like my bestie must have suggested these?” Rosalie looked at Mary.Although Andrius might be familiar with the origins and price of the medicinal materials, he m
“Rosie, I've checked with the asylum. Kelly has indeed gone insane! She's not in a clear state of mind anymore and is always babbling nonsense. Moreover, the doctor there mentioned she sneaked into the drug storeroom and took plenty of drugs. In the end, she was sent to the emergency room and escaped near death.”Mary told Rosalie about what happened after the pathogen attack.The mastermind, Kelly, was now loony. Many of the hospital’s medical personnel escaped the life-endangering pathogen attack and won the people’s hearts for being decisive and quick at resolving the matter. Even the higher executives of the Ministry of Health came personally to reward them.The hospital was also nominated as the best and most authorized hospital by the government. They might even be listed in the official list of insurance-covered hospitals.Andrius added, “Kelly’s charge has entered the stage of public prosecution. No matter if Kelly is sane or has lost her mind, she'll be sentenced to at lea
The Halo Hill Scenic Park was located on a vast land after the highway.The moon was bright that night, and scarce stars were blinking around it. There were a few groups of people sitting around the park. Some were families with kids, and others were young couples.That place was a perfect dating spot.Andrius might have prepared in advance for this moment. He took out a waterproof mat from the car and some snacks. Then, he looked for a space farthest from the crowd and arranged the things he brought in order.Mary felt it was romantic and said, “It'd be perfect if there was a tent where we could lie down all night to watch the stars.”Unexpectedly, Andrius answered, “I do have a tent, but…”Mary was flustered, and her cheeks blushed.Andrius would see her face flushing red if not for the dark environment.She was not prepared to spend a night in the tent with him yet.Andrius continued spreading the mat before placing the snacks on the mat. He took the portable kettle from th
They spent plenty of time and effort before finally digging out all four wish bottles in 15 minutes.All four wish bottles were closed with corks to prevent rainwater from eroding the papers inside.Someone even suggested putting a drying agent in each bottle. It had preserved the papers well. Not even mold had grown on them.Holding the four bottles, Andrius smiled. “Let’s go and wash them before taking a look at the papers. More than ten years have passed since then.”Mary nodded and smiled. She felt as if she had been taken back in time.They looked for a tap nearby and washed off the mud on the bottles. Then, they walked back to their spot only after wiping the bottles dry.“Which one of these is yours?” Mary looked at the transparent bottles. The four of them used different colored papers.There were four colors—purple, blue, pink, and white.She guessed the white must be Andrius’. According to his past personality, he would choose a simple and pure color.“Is that pink p
