Wilson started the car immediately and drove to the police station.Clara hurriedly asked Wilson which police station it was and called Peter. Peter had just reported the missing case, and the police hadn't gathered any information yet. Clara was one step ahead of him. After knowing that Riley was in the police station, Peter hurriedly thanked her and rushed to the police station. Clara and Wilson arrived first. As soon as Riley saw Clara, she immediately shouted, "Aunt Clara!" Clara greeted the police and picked Riley up. "Do you know how much you’ve made your father worry about you when you ran out by yourself?""I wanted to visit Yanny, and I wanted to go to your house, but Daddy wasn't free to bring me there," Riley pouted after she said that. "Your father is busy working. If you want to visit Yanny in the future, you can give me a call. Then, I'll pick you up or bring Yanny to visit you, okay?" Riley smiled brightly and agreed. "You have to say sorry to your fath
Wilson, who was already imposing, exuded an oppressive aura as if he was blocking Peter from coming any closer to Clara.There was tension in the air. Clara hurriedly told Peter, "Bring Riley back home first, Pete. Mr. Birch will send me home." Peter hesitated for a moment. "Alright, stay safe." "Sure." Peter left with Riley after he went through the formalities at the police station. Wilson stared at Clara. "Why did you call me Mr. Birch but call him Pete?" Everyone could tell if their relationship was close or distant by how she addressed them. Clara looked at Wilson puzzledly. "Should I call you Wils, then?" Wilson's expression darkened. It would have been better if she had called him Mr. Birch instead of Wils. "Are you hungry? Do you want to grab something?" He looked at the time and asked. "No, I have to go back to the store. Thanks for helping to find Riley today. I'll make a move first," Clara said. Wilson grabbed her hand before she could take a step. "Yo
"It's fine, it's just a mild pain. You can start the car. I want to get back early," Clara said. Wilson's expression darkened, and they started the car. When the car stopped, Clara only realized they were in front of the hospital. "I don't have to go to the hospital…" Before Clara could finish speaking, Wilson had already carried Clara out of the car. He brought her to the emergency room and requested a doctor to treat her. He had even pulled some strings and called the hospital hepatologist to treat Clara. He made it seem as if Clara was in a critical situation. After examination, the doctors said that Clara's pain was a common occurrence after a liver transplant. There was no way to cure the pain, and she needed to rely on medication to alleviate it.The pain would gradually disappear in the long run. Wilson did not feel embarrassed about the fuss he made after knowing about Clara's condition. He was relieved instead. "Do you have any painkillers at home?" Wilson asked
After Clara ended the call, she hurriedly got off the hospital bed and gathered her things, "I have to go back." She hurriedly ran out of the emergency room.Only then did Wilson come back to his senses. He chased after her and said, "I'm the one who brought you here. It's only right for me to send you back." Both of them kept quiet all the way to Clara's store. They reached, and Clara opened the door to get off. "Clara, I don't think that we should disassociate with each other. Since you chose to give birth to Yanny, we have a connection no matter what," Wilson said softly. Clara lowered her head and got out of the car without saying anything. Wilson smiled bitterly and left after she entered the store. When Mrs. Wells saw Clara return, she hurriedly asked, "Did Wilson do anything to you?" "No. He just helped me to search for Riley together." In the evening, Clara asked for Yannick's opinion. "Do you want to keep learning Taekwondo, or do you want to watch the combat
After some practice, even his coach couldn't help but marvel at Yannick's perseverance. Wilson was observing Yannick's practice aside. Even though his son was knocked to the ground again and again, he would get up very quickly and continue fighting. There was determination and strength in Yannick's eyes, similar to Clara's. Wilson knew that his son desired to become stronger. Yannick was so determined that it made him look like he had suffered all the ups and downs in this world. Wilson felt bitter. He would have had a happy family now if he had not been blinded by hatred and not believed Sandra. When Yannick finished practicing, Wilson approached him and said, "I'll send you home later." "No, thank you. I saw a bus stop next to this block. I can take the bus." Yannick refused. "I'll come here and go back by myself in the future too!""Do you have to refuse me that much? I'm your father!" Wilson said. "I haven't had a father ever since I was born!" Yannick said and went
Clara handed Peter a napkin to wipe his sweat. "Thanks." Peter wiped his sweat and took off his jacket.Clara took the jacket from his hand. "I should be the one to say thank you. If it weren’t for you, I'd have to find a handyman myself." "You have to spend a hundred dollars to ask a handyman for on-site service. What's the point of wasting that money? Just call me if there is something that needs to be repaired in the future. I'll try my best to fix it for you. You can save up some money as well," Peter said. "No way." "We've been friends for so many years. You don't have to be shy about it. Besides, Riley is quite fond of Yanny. I'm afraid that Riley will bother you often in the future." "Riley is lovable. Everyone here loves her. You can drop her here if you're too busy with your business in the future. I can help you take care of her. She's cute. I'll take it as babysitting an extra daughter." Clara wished to have a cute daughter once upon a time. However, she would n
Shirley threatened Peter. It was evident that she was after his money. After all, she had lost all the money that she had gotten from their divorce, including the house mortgage. She had listened to her friend and invested all her money in her friend's business. However, the company had failed, and they were heavily in debt. Now, she wanted to take Peter's stall to cover the debt. Peter was enraged, but Shirley's threat put him in a dilemma.Clara stepped forward and coldly looked at Shirley. "I'm only friends with Peter. Go ahead if you want to fabricate any rumor about us, but you'll have to be prepared to bear the consequences. I'll sue anyone who dares to make up rumors about me. In the end, you'll have to publicly apologize and publish a statement in the newspaper to me!" Clara's aura was overbearing. She would stop at nothing to protect her most important person. Shirley felt oppressed as Clara approached her step by step. "You can try if you don't believe me." "You!
Clara knew that Peter's main income now depended on the stall. Riley and he would suffer if he lost the stall. "It's fine if she still wants to come and make trouble, but you shouldn't back down too much. It won't stop if you back down once," Clara reminded. "Got it. Let me know if she comes back to harass you," Peter said. Meanwhile, Wilson was irritated by their interaction. Peter turned to Wilson and said, "Mr. Birch, thank you very much!""Why do you have to thank me? The one I helped out was Clara," Wilson huffed. Peter looked embarrassed because he had made it sound like they were a couple and Wilson was just an outsider. "Did you come here for something?" Clara asked Wilson. "Would you believe me if I said I came over to check on you because I missed you and Yannick?" "Mr. Birch, I think we've made it clear enough between us that you're causing me nothing but distress." "Distress?" Wilson smiled mockingly and pointed to Peter, "What about him? Is he not a dist
