Back in the living room, Rosalie was chatting with the children, discussing a name for the baby."If she's a girl, let's call her Dawn Lawrence, okay? I'm Estie, and I want my sister to be called DeeDee." Estie put forward her suggestion.Both Lucian and Nox commented that the name was too simple. They wanted to find something more meaningful."Mommy, my brothers’ names are too simple. Why did you choose them?" Estie asked, puzzled.Nox immediately answered, "They're not simple at all. They're names from a TV show, and they bear great significance. Following the characters and the plot of that TV show, I'm sure Mommy gave us these names out of her yearning for Daddy!""This… must be incorrect." Lucian immediately dismissed it. Then, he expressed his thoughts, "Mommy, Lucian comes from the Latin word ‘light,’ and Nox is the name of the mythological god of the night, right?"Rosalie was so confused. She just thought their names were catchy. It was not that deep!Byron found it i
Outside the manor, in the guardhouse.Gordon suddenly vomited after he woke up. There were gastric juices and blood in his vomit.The bodyguards were horrified. The president had asked them to take care of this person, but judging by the man’s state, he must be seriously ill to be vomiting blood.Thus, they hurriedly consulted the butler for further action. After the butler’s consideration, he decided to tell President Lawrence about the situation.The butler went forward with his report when he saw President Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence in the living room. "The man outside seems to be suffering from a serious illness. He's vomiting blood!"When Rosalie heard that, her right hand that was holding the teacup trembled as she looked at her husband.Byron got up immediately and said to his wife, "Let's go over and look. If the situation is serious, we must save him first."Rosalie nodded. Then, as if something had clicked in her, she quickly followed her husband.Less than half an
Gordon's voice suddenly stopped, and he passed out again.Upon seeing this situation, Byron decisively ordered the bodyguards to send Gordon into the manor."Rosalie, just do your best. Leave the rest to destiny!" Byron grabbed his wife's hand and felt a slight coldness.Rosalie nodded and immediately followed him back to the manor.All the entanglement and grievances aside, Gordon was just a dying patient before Rosalie.As a doctor, it was natural for her to try and save him.Thus, she quickly made preparations and began dry-needling for Gordon.At the same time, Andrius and Mary were also called over to help. They began to dispense and decoct the medication according to Rosalie's instructions.The decoction needed a charcoal fire, which could only be done outside the villa. Mary was responsible for watching the fire, while Andrius monitored the water level from time to time."This is probably retribution! Gordon is not worthy of being Rosie's father. He's just lucky that Ro
"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence! I'm not a competent father, and I've caused irreparable harm to Rosalie. You both are truly her second parents. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to..."After that last visit, Gordon's last words burned in Benedict's and Melody’s minds.Melody felt deeply conflicted inside.She dared not acknowledge herself as Rosalie’s second parent, like how Gordon claimed her to be. She had wronged Rosalie in so many ways before. She was just spending this time to atone for her mistakes.Fortunately, she still had a chance; unlike Gordon, who only realized it when he was dying.Next, the three little kids paid a visit to their grandpa.Of course, the adults did not tell the kids about his actual illness but only said that he was sick. In the eyes of the kids, he must be having a terrible cold.Hence, the three little kids gave their grandpa some encouragement. They asked him to rest well and drink plenty of water, and that he would be fine soon.Gordo
In Mary’s villa at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Wilson was watering the flowers in the yard when two to three black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the gate.Several bodyguards got out of the car, walked to the Benz in the center, and quickly opened the door.A well-dressed middle-aged man habitually leaned on a cane and came out.Following closely behind was an extravagant-looking middle-aged lady. After she got out of the car, she glanced at the villa with deep disdain in her eyes."It seems that your daughter is doing well in Coast City. She can even buy a villa!"There was a strong northwest accent in her voice. Her face was full of arrogance.The middle-aged man's face was stern, with an air of solemn and prestige.This was Dorian Claymore, the leader of Claymore Group, the largest consortium in Southwest Somerland. The middle-aged lady beside him was his wife, Shaylene Lambert.The accompanying assistant immediately approached Dorian respectfully. "Mr. Claymore, the addr
At five o'clock in the evening, Mary dragged her tired body downstairs after a busy day.She smiled when Andrius walked toward her with a bouquet of roses in his hands. The exhaustion all over her body seemed to be swept away."Director Wilson, Mr. Quirke, you guys have gotten together! That's great! You're a match made in heaven.""Congratulations, Director Wilson. You finally got your wish! Mr. Quirke is indeed excellent. He helped the hospital out of the crisis last time. He's so manly!""Wow, is Director Wilson together with Mr. Quirke? That's great! Congratulations! When are you getting married?"When the off-duty medical staff saw the scene, they all smiled and greeted Mary, expressing their sincere blessings to her and Andrius.Mary did not hold back. She accepted their gazes graciously and stretched out her hand to be led by Andrius. The two's faces were full of sweetness."Let's go pick up Aunt Wilson. We’ll have some delicious food tonight." Andrius had already made a
Andrius knew who that man was right away.That was the biological father that Mary never wanted to speak of. He abandoned his wife and daughter and chose to marry for profit."His name is Dorian Claymore, the chairman of Northwest Claymore Group. You should have heard of him. After all, he can be considered a prominent figure in the business world! But he's just a piece of trash to me!"Mary gritted her teeth, her eyes turning red with hatred.The one who came with Dorian was Shaylene, the eldest daughter of the Lambert family who was a tyrant with her influence.After learning that Mary was born, Shaylene considered Mary an illegitimate daughter—a disaster.For this reason, Mary was unable to grow up normally. Her normal schooling channels were all controlled by Shaylene to force her and her mother away.Furthermore, Shaylene often brought her two precious daughters to their home to bully Mary and her mother. She would come to their house from time to time to beat them up.Whe
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mary became anxious again after waiting.Her mother's cell phone finally rang.She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She quickly pressed the answer button.On the opposite side, came that foreign yet familiar voice. "Mary? I'm your father. I took your mother back to the Northwest today. Some things required her attendance.""Dorian, what did you do to my mother? This is equivalent to a kidnapping. Do you believe that I wouldn’t call the police to arrest you?"Mary's temper exploded in an instant at the man’s light and nonchalant tone, as if nothing big happened. She lashed out angrily."You'd better be polite to my mother, and tell Shaylene Lambert, to stop trying to bully my mother. If my mother loses even one hair, I will never let her go!"She tried but could not control her emotions at all.Not until Andrius stretched out his hand and held her left hand tightly that her mood slowly calmed down."Tell me, what exactly do
