"AHH!" Clara grunted and woke up with a jerk. She snapped her eyes open and sat up to realize it was just a nightmare!In her dream, she relived the memory of when Wilson had forcefully dragged her to the operation room earlier in the day. But in the dream, Wilson had not stopped the operation and insisted that it go on. Watching the needle prick her in fear, she had tried to struggle, but she could not move nor escape.Clara was panting heavily, relieved that it was all just a dream. She looked at her sleeping son beside her and saw Yannick sleeping soundly. Fortunately, her nightmare had not woken him up. Clara got up and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, but as she looked out the window, she was surprised to see Wilson outside. Wilson was leaning against the car, still in the same position she had seen him in a few hours ago.Clara tightened her grip on the glass and finally made up her mind. Then, she put the glass down and went to the door.Wilson jerked his head
Wilson was the man she had loved as well as the man she had hated. Her love and hatred for Wilson had become such complicated emotions that she did not know how to deal with him."Wilson, enough is enough. That's it between us. So, just let me go, please?" Clara said weakly. Turning around, she went back into the house and closed the door behind her. Wilson stood alone outside the house, looking alive but dead inside, and he felt just like an empty shell.-Lisa quickly recovered after regaining consciousness. The next day, she could get out of bed and walk around slowly, and by the fifth day, she seemed to be normal again. Lisa could not breastfeed her baby due to her health and constant medication, which she regretted. But at the very least, she and the baby were still alive.Lisa was in the ward, holding her daughter with a smile. Although the baby was born prematurely and looked funny, Lisa found the baby beautiful, especially those eyes. Lisa thought her daughter's eyes
During the weekend, Serenity visited Lisa along with her triplets plus Fred and Cynthia.Lisa was delighted to see the five children with her best friend and teased, "You have so many kids with you. Those who don't know you might think you're running a kindergarten."Serenity glanced at the row of kids standing behind her and laughed. They did look like a group of kids in the kindergarten."Oh, Serenity! You're here!" Clara came to greet Serenity."Hey, Clara! Hm? Where's Yanny?" Serenity wondered as she did not see Yanny."He's up on the second floor watching Renne. He'll be down soon," Clara said. Sure enough, Yannick appeared shortly and came downstairs.Jacqueline was delighted to see Yannick and ran toward him as soon as he came downstairs. She gave Yannick a big hug and greeted him cheerfully, "Yanny!"Yannick naturally picked Jacqueline up without effort. Although only nine years old, he was now stronger after working out for some time. He did not feel tired picking up Ja
Fred knew yesterday that he would see Yannick here. When going to bed at night, Jackie had talked about Yannick all night. Fred felt uncomfortable over Jackie's excitement in meeting Yannick. She even took out her beautiful dress, asked Fred if it looked good on her, and wondered if Yannick would like her in the dress.Fred did not want Jackie to care about Yannick that much. He wanted Jackie to care about him alone!Putting Jacqueline down, Yannick came over to greet Serenity and the other kids. Although Fred turned his head away and did not respond to Yannick's greeting, Yannick did not mind and smiled. He told Lisa, "Aunt Lisa, why don't I take them to meet baby Renee?""Sure," Lisa agreed. She did not have to worry because the nannies and maids were looking after her baby.Lisa watched as Yannick led the kids up the stairs, amused to see the big group of kids. "When Clara's baby is born, the group of kids will grow bigger. It's going to be fun having eight kids around at once!"
Micah frowned, thinking about the baby. Mom said Aunt Lisa's baby was beautiful, but he did not think so, no matter how he looked at her.Micah's gaze rose and turned to his sister. Well, Jackie was much prettier.Jacqueline stared at the baby with curiosity. She carefully touched Renee's face and wondered how such a tiny thing was just the size of her larger dolls.Fred paid no attention to the baby and focused on Jacqueline."So adorable!" Cynthia cooed as she looked at the baby. The baby was so soft and cute. Her eyes sparkled, and a smile lit up her face. Cynthia was unrelated to the White family, but Caden had dragged her along for the visit here. Aunt Serene wanted to bring Caden over, but Caden refused unless she came along.As if sensing the crowd's curious stares, the baby opened her eyes and began to cry. The nanny hurriedly picked up the baby and coaxed her. The baby stopped crying after a while, and her eyes moved, as if she was looking at her surroundings. Cynthia
While holding Renee, Jacqueline discovered that the baby was fascinating. "The baby is yawning! Haha! She's so cute when she yawns! Micah, Yanny! Did you see the baby yawn?!""Yeah," Micah responded nonchalantly.Yannick said, "Looks like Renee's comfortable!""Renee, hurry and grow up. I've got lots of beautiful dolls for you to play with!" Jacqueline said, ready to be Renee's older sister. Renee smiled in Jacqueline's arms as if she understood what Jacqueline had said. Jacqueline got even more excited and said, "Yanny! Look! Renee is smiling at me. Does she like me too?""Yeah, she must really like you," Yannick said gently.Fred felt uncomfortable watching this scene in front of him. Maybe his presence was unnecessary, he thought as he lowered his head and slowly walked out of the room. He should not have come in the first place. All these things had nothing to do with him.While at the walkway, Fred happened to see Cynthia and Caden through the window. Fred stood on the tip
Cynthia became envious of Evelyn as she listened to Evelyn's stories with her boyfriend. She began to wonder what it would be like to have a boyfriend in the future. Would it be like what she saw on TV? Although Cynthia was only in first grade, she knew what a boyfriend meant. She had seen it on TV before, after all!"Then just don't like other people," Caden said in a small voice, and his smile faded again."That's impossible," Cynthia refused and did not notice the dimming light in Caden's eyes.-Fred had no idea how long he had been hiding in the hallway. No one noticed him leaving the room, not even Jackie. Jackie did not come out to look for him because he was just a nobody.Fred was good at playing the piano, and that may be the only reason Jackie found him interesting. Many other children could not play the piano or keep up with Jackie's rhythm, so she loved playing with him. Whenever Jackie met someone else she liked better, he would be cast aside, just as he was at the
The child's voice caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at the stairs. Fred stood near the stairs on the second floor, and Jacqueline glared at Fred with a look of anger and shock. She must have seen something.Concerned, Serenity hurried to her daughter's side. "Jackie? What's going on?""Mommy, I saw Fred push Yanny down the stairs!" Jacqueline said. "I'm not the only one who saw it! Micah saw it too!"Jacqueline did not understand why Fred would push Yanny. Thankfully, Yanny had grabbed the handrail, or he would have gotten badly injured.Jacqueline had seen it on a TV show before. A lady who had gotten pushed down the stairs had died. Even though Mom told her that the TV show was fake, she had nightmares about it for a long time.Serenity then turned to Micah. "Micah? Is Jackie telling the truth?"Micah answered with a nod. "Jackie and I saw it. When Yanny was about to descend the stairs, Fred suddenly ran to him and pushed him."All eyes were on Fred at o
