"Well, don't think too much. No matter what happens in the future, I'll be here," Terry promised, his voice calming and soothing. The unease in Lisa faded. She thought she would not be afraid of anything as long as Terry was there with her!Meanwhile, Serenity took Yanny and Clara to the nearby hospital and had the hospital examine Yanny's injury. It was all cuts and abrasion to the skin, fortunately nothing too serious. The cochlear implant, however, would take at least a week before it would be ready for collection, which meant that Yanny would not be able to hear for a week.Serenity told Clara after giving it a thought, "Let Yanny take a leave of absence from school. It's inconvenient for him to go to school. Even if he attends classes, he can't hear. Maybe he should stay home for a week and return to school after he gets his new cochlear implants fitted."Clara nodded softly and agreed. "I guess so. I'll get the money for the cochlear implants and transfer some money to you t
Clara lowered her eyes gently, then sighed. "Yeah. If he wanted, he could have many healthy kids.""So don't think about giving Yanny to Wilson. Let's raise the boy together. Now, the school principal knows about Yanny's godmother and connection to the Valor family. I'm sure no one will try to bully him anymore," Mrs. Wells said.After a pause, she added, "Besides, Yanny is your life. What will you do after giving Yanny to Wilson? Can you really live with that?""Alright, Mom. It's late. You should get some rest," Clara said, ending the conversation. When Mrs. Wells had left the room, Clara's gaze shifted back to her son's wounded and swollen cheeks.Yanny would always be her life, and she would do anything for Yanny, even if it meant risking her life. She would do anything to give Yanny a better future!-At night, Serenity told Jackson about what happened at school during the day and how Yanny needed new cochlear implants."It hurt me seeing how Yanny got hurt today, let alo
"Fred, what's wrong?" Fred heard Jacqueline's voice ring out and snapped back to his senses, staring at the girl before him."Did you hear what I just said to you?" Jacqueline asked again. "What?" Fred asked. "It's my birthday in a week, so you can't forget to give me a present!" The little one asked for a present."Present?" Fred repeated, confused."You're not giving me any?" Jacqueline asked, those bright eyes staring at him. Fred noted what seemed like disappointment on her face and felt guilty for not getting her a birthday present."So... What do you want for your birthday?" Fred almost stammered."I don't know. It should be a surprise," Jacqueline said and acted like a grownup. "You have to give it to me in front of everyone!" Unable to contain her excitement, she beamed brightly.Fred looked right at Jacqueline's smile, a little startled. There was no way he could give her a present with everyone watching. The Valor family did not want him to attend the party. Altho
"Sure," Weston answered readily and ended the call immediately.Weston opened the door and got out of the car, heading toward the little boy in the crowd. The woman who had helped Fred make the phone call was visibly stunned by Weston's handsome appearance and quick arrival."Thank you. I'm here to pick up my son," Weston said to the woman."Y-You're welcome." The woman's face reddened slightly."Come," Weston said, taking Fred's hand, and the little boy followed his father to the car parked nearby.After getting into the car, Weston said leisurely, "So? Have you made up your mind? Are you coming back to Lanford with me?"The boy shook his head. "I… I want to ask you for money.""Money?" Weston snickered as if he had heard a funny joke. "You're asking for money?""Yes," the little boy responded uncomfortably.Weston gazed at Fred. "You want money from me, but how will you pay me back?"Fred felt embarrassed. Yeah... how could he pay it back? He had no way to make money at a
“Thank you?” Weston chuckled while fixing his gaze on Jacqueline. His son didn’t want to leave the Valor family because of her. “I’m not accepting your gratitude.”Jacqueline looked at the man in front of her puzzledly. Weston looked familiar to her, but she didn’t realize there was a close resemblance between Frederick and him. Weston looked at Frederick. “I hope that the next time you come to me is when you’re willing to leave the Valors.”Jacqueline was stunned when she heard that. She immediately pulled Frederick behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chick. However, she was only a five-year-old child, and she was as tall as Frederick. “Fred wouldn’t want to leave my house! Who are you to say that?” She had a hunch that Weston would snatch Frederick away. “I’m—” Frederick cut Weston off before he could say anything, “I’m not leaving no matter what!” Weston stared at Frederick for a moment. “Really?” He mocked before he left. Jacqueline hugged and kissed Frederic
Many socialites and celebrities from Solaria attended the triplet’s grand birthday party. The ordinary Jenkins family could only attend because of Caden, or more precisely, Cynthia. It would be strange if Cynthia were the only one who attended the party; therefore, the Valors invited the Jenkins family. Yara was shocked at the splendid party, and she was excited to see socialites and celebrities who only appeared on TV. Although she had imagined the scene, she was stunned to see what had been reported by the news previously. She was shocked by the wealth of a prestigious family. She realized that her family could only get into high society by holding on tightly to Caden. Doing so might benefit them, and there would be a big chance that their son would have a brighter future. Yara smiled and held Cynthia’s hand. “Come on, Cynthia. Let’s say hello to Caden’s parents since they invited us here. We have to wish the triplets a happy birthday too.”Yara signaled to Logan to let
Caden was happy to have Cynthia around. -Jacqueline had been moping around during the party because she hadn’t seen Frederick yet. She was waiting for Frederick’s present. It was her first birthday since she had become friends with Frederick. “What’s wrong? You look unhappy.” Serenity asked.“Mommy, why isn’t Fred coming?” Serenity knew the reason for his absence. Fred’s existence was a controversy for the Valors. He might get hurt again if people made a big deal out of it when they saw him. “Didn’t Fred say that he didn’t like the crowd when we left home?” Jacqueline pouted. “If I had known about it, I would have invited fewer people to the birthday party. There are so many guests that I don’t even know!” Serenity patted Jacqueline’s head. “Do you want Fred to attend your birthday party that much?”Jacqueline nodded. “Fred is my best friend!” Serenity sighed at her innocence. She could only hope that they would still get along when they grew up and their friendship
Frederick couldn’t help but tremble at the thought of Jacqueline knowing about his mother’s crimes one day.He didn’t know how long he had been curled up in the corner until he heard a sound outside his room. Jacqueline and the others were back. ‘Happy birthday, Jackie!’ He wished her in his heart. It was her birthday, and he knew many big shots had attended her grand birthday party. He had seen Jacqueline wearing a beautiful pink dress with a tiara before she went out today. She looked exactly like a princess. She must have been even prettier under the spotlight. He wanted to give her the gift he had been preparing even though it wasn’t worth much. Suddenly, the door to his room was pushed open, and he saw someone in pink holding a piece of cake.“Great! You’re still awake! It won’t count as a birthday cake if you have it tomorrow!” Jacqueline said, smiling while placing the cake in front of Frederick.“Here you go. I saved a big piece of my delicious birthday cake for
