"No need, Leo. I've already found a good place for the kids," Ella said firmly, declining Leo's offer.

Leo raised an eyebrow, looking both surprised and curious. "You want to send the kids to…?"

Before he could finish, a loud ding from the elevator echoed down the hall.

Out walked a tall, slender figure in a mask and hat. Despite the disguise, Leo recognized her immediately: Jenna, Ella’s close friend and a rising star in the entertainment industry. But Jenna wasn’t alone. Trailing behind her was her ever-busy agent, Abby.

“Darling, are you okay? And what about Kaia? How’s she doing?” Jenna asked hurriedly, her voice filled with concern.

“Jenna, keep it down,” Abby whispered, tugging on her sleeve. “It’s late. The kids are probably asleep. Don’t wake them up.”

“I wasn’t shouting,” Jenna muttered, lowering her voice to an exaggerated whisper as she grabbed Ella’s hands. “Tell me everything—what happened to Kaia?”

Ella quickly summarized Kaia’s accident, still puzzled. “But how did you

    Thinking of this, Leo silently extinguished his cigarette, threw it away, put the lighter back in his pocket, and then took out his phone to make a call.The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.The voice on the other end sounded groggy, as if the person had just woken up: “Hello?”“Did I wake you up by calling so late?” Leo’s voice was gentle.“Dr. Leo?” The person on the other end quickly woke up, followed by the rustling sounds of getting out of bed and putting on clothes. “What can I do for you, Dr. Leo?”Leo hummed and said after a moment, “It’s like this. My daughter was Kidnapped by someone yesterday, and the person who kidnapped her was from the Montgomery family. It’s not good to handle this kind of thing openly, so I can only ask for your help. I think you understand what I mean, right?”Leo’s tone remained gentle and polite, much like how he spoke to his patients about their conditions, making people feel like they were basking in a warm spring breeze.The per

    Ella had no idea about the rich inner world of the little girl. She simply thought of the doctor’s advice and believed that eating light and easily digestible food would be more beneficial for the little girl’s recovery.After deciding on breakfast, she checked the time. It was indeed a bit early at 5:30 a.m. Looking out the window, everything was dark and quiet, and the breakfast shops were mostly still closed. Going home to cook for the little girl was not suitable either, as the elderly couple had stayed up late last night, and she would surely wake them up if she left for too long. Besides, Kaia was alone here, and Ella was not at ease leaving her for too long.After thinking it over, Ella decided to try her luck outside the ward. Although breakfast shops usually did not open at this time, she knew that the hospital canteen usually opened early. Although the canteen might not have prepared any food at this time, as long as the canteen staff had already started preparing breakf

    At this moment, someone was discussing, but Ella just turned a deaf ear to it and kept her eyes glued to her daughter."When that person came, he said he broke his hand, but I looked at it and it didn't look like a broken hand. It looked like it was chopped off by someone! The cut was so smooth, just like when we slaughtered pigs back in our hometown."Ella didn't expect the old woman to suddenly say these things and quickly covered Kaia's ears, fearing that the little girl would feel even more uncomfortable.The other old ladies next to her were quite interested and didn't feel the slightest bit of the gory story.It wasn't until someone caught sight of Ella and Kaia and gently pulled the sleeve of the old woman who was telling the story with great detail, "Lower your voice, there's a child next to you! Don't scare the child!"The old woman was taken aback and turned around to look at Ella holding Kaia in her arms. She then slightly lowered her voice but continued with her descriptio

    To be on the safe side, the doctor still gave little Kaia a detailed examination.A mental examination required the doctor to ask Kaia some one-on-one questions. After all, with Ella present, Kaia might not tell the truth in order to avoid worrying her.Therefore, Ella waited outside the room.Ella pushed the door open and saw Leo leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, as if he were resting. He almost immediately opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening.“Ella, you’re out? Where’s Kaia? Is she doing the examination alone in there?”Ella nodded and looked at the fatigue that Leo inadvertently revealed in his eyes. She felt complicated and uncomfortable in her heart. “Leo, Kaia should be fine now. Why don’t you go back and rest for a while?”He still had a surgery to perform tonight, and he really needed to rest. After all, surgeries that required him to operate personally were generally not easy, and he had to concentrate. Otherwise, he would be irrespon

    "See, this is the difference between you and Leo," said Mrs. Kane with a cold snort. "Ask Lila, did Lila ask him to cook porridge for her? No! He went on his own! He didn’t even sleep and just wanted to cook porridge for Lila and Kaia!"Unable to bear being scolded by Mrs. Kane, Mr. Kane muttered under his breath, "Well, who asked him to perform poorly before and get kicked out by our daughter? He should have behaved well and tried to become a regular employee, shouldn't he?"When Mrs. Kane heard the words "regular employee," her attention was drawn away. Instead of holding onto the point that Mr. Kane was inferior to Leo, she turned to ask Lila. "Lila, you see how much Leo cares about you and the children. We've been asking him to help us without giving him any recognition. Is that really fair?"Lila remained silent.Was it unfair?It was more than unfair.If these two children were really Leo's, she would never have been able to treat them like this. But she knew their true identit

    "I know it because my classmate Lily told me about it," she said.Ella raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And how does Lily know about Theo's family?""Because they live in the same community, and Theo invited her to his birthday party. Lily said that only Theo's mother was there, and his father wasn't. Theo told her that his father is always busy making a lot of money and doesn't have time to be with him."The little girl finished speaking and then turned her head to ask Ella, "Mommy, can Mr. Lucas really make a lot of money every day?"Ella nodded.She thought her daughter would ask how much money he made or express surprise or envy, but instead, the little girl tilted her head with a puzzled expression."But Theo doesn't eat much, and he can't spend that much money. What's the point of his father making so much money?"Ella couldn't help but chuckle.Her daughter's thoughts were really different.Other children spend their parents' money on toys and clothes, but her little glutton only think

    Kai stood stiffly by the door, his small body straight as a rod, his face a mask of determination and seriousness. Ella gave him a soft, exasperated glance before she opened the door to the room. She didn’t say a word, just gave him a little nod, signaling for him to enter.Once Kai was inside, Ella closed the door behind him, cutting off any chance of escape. He immediately stood at attention beside her, almost as if preparing for a drill, his hands behind his back like a little soldier awaiting orders."Mom, you can ask whatever you want," Kai said, voice serious, as though he were reporting for duty.Ella’s lips twitched into a smile at his stiff posture. She couldn’t help but chuckle. "Oh, come on, kiddo. I'm not here to interrogate you, I’m just trying to talk. Why are you acting like I’m the principal at school?"Kai's eyes widened, his little fists clenched behind his back, but his face remained dead serious. "Mom, I’m not nervous," he said firmly.Ella raised an eyebrow and t

    Ella pinched the little ears on the little girl's hat: "Cute, our Kaia is the cutest."Kaia was really happy when she heard this and walked up to Kai like a bunny: "Brother, let's go too."Kai shook his head: "You go with Mom, I won't go."The smile on Kaia's little face froze immediately: "Ah? Why?"Kai lowered his eyes: "I want to read a book.""You need to read again..." Kaia curled her mouth. "But brother, don't you read every day? Mr. Arthur said that your knowledge is almost surpassing his, so you are not afraid that one day you will lose all the books in the world. After reading all of them, there will be no book to read if you want to read in the future?"Ella couldn't help but chuckle at Kaia's childish words.Even Kai was momentarily taken aback, but he didn't show any signs of annoyance or impatience. Instead, he spoke gently, "Silly girl, there are endless books in the world. Didn't our teacher teach you that the sea of learning knows no bounds?"The little girl blinked h

    Fortunately, Leo didn’t ask for anything else after hearing that."What’s the matter?" he asked.Edwin immediately replied, "Mr. Quinn already knows about the situation in Fairfield. He’s very satisfied with Young Master’s intelligence and decisiveness, so he specifically asked me to inform you to come home this weekend.""Go home?" Leo’s lips curled up, repeating the two words. Edwin recalled what Mr. Quinn had said on the phone today and looked at the man beside him, with a hint of flattery in his expression. " Young Master Leo has been in the hospital all day. He probably doesn’t know that Lucas is critically injured and his life is in danger. When the news came out, the Apex Corp was in chaos.""Speaking of which, we should thank Mrs. Montgomery. If she hadn’t kidnapped Miss Lila's child and angered Lucas, she wouldn’t have been kicked out of the board of directors by Lucas, and things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly for us today."Leo glanced at him."What, has my father already

    “Uncle Leo, can I go in and see Mom?”“Your mom just had surgery and needs to rest quietly…”“I’ll be very quiet.”Leo looked at Kai, who was trying hard to look strong, and suddenly thought of himself. He waved his hand. “Okay, you can go in.”Kai turned his head and asked in surprise, “Aren’t you coming in, Uncle Leo?”Leo shook his head. “I... won’t go in.”Kai didn’t insist and pushed the door open to the ward.The ward was so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable. Kai looked at Ella lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages and wearing a ventilator. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn’t help the sourness in his eyes.“Mom…”“It’s all my fault.”“I should have noticed something was wrong earlier and come to see you earlier.”Kai gritted his teeth. Tears finally slipped down his pale face, but he wiped them away the next second. He was already a little man and couldn’t be so weak.“Mom, don’t worry. I will take care of Grandma and Grandpa, and also

    Mr. Kane wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Kane interrupted, "I think Kai misses his dad, right? It's fine, Lila has gone abroad for something, Kaia followed Jenna, and Kai can stay with his dad for a while."Kai pursed his lips and forced a smile. "Grandma is the best."Although Mr. Kane eventually agreed to take Kai to the general Hospital, Leo was a cardiovascular surgeon, so since Kai still complained of stomach pain, they naturally went to the pediatric department first.The doctor listened and examined Kai's little belly with a stethoscope and his hands, then had the grandparents take him to check his excrement. Finally, he remained silent for a while before speaking."He probably ate too much and caught a slight cold. It hasn't reached the point of enteritis, but children's stomachs are delicate and need attention."Mr. and Mrs. Kane breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.As they left the pediatric department with the medicine, the Kanes reflected all the way.

    Mom Went Abroad?Kai frowned, feeling that things weren’t that simple.Although his mother, Ella, didn’t tell him what she was going to do when she went out today, he knew that her outing must be for something very important — maybe even dangerous. She had repeatedly told his grandparents and him before leaving: Don’t open the door to strangers.At noon, he held back and didn’t call Ella.It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon, past the time Ella had planned to meet his godmother Jenna, that he couldn’t hold back any longer. He called her, but…Her phone was off.At first, Kai thought her work wasn’t finished yet. But when he tried again half an hour later and the phone was still off, a faint sense of unease crept in. Something wasn’t right. His instinct told him to check the security cameras, but he remembered his promise from yesterday: No hacking.Reluctantly, he put the idea aside and called Uncle Leo instead.No answer.Frustrated, Kai ran a hand through his hair.“Broth

    After Director Sam finished speaking, in order not to delay the surgery for the patient, he quickly let the other doctors go to the operating room first. Leo pressed his lips tightly. He was usually reasonable and gentle, but this time he was unusually stubborn. "Director Sam, Lila... she's the girl I like." Director Sam was surprised. No wonder Dr. Leo hadn't dated or married for so many years. It turned out that he already had someone in his heart, but... "If that's the case, I can't let you participate in the surgery even more." Although the hospital did not have a written rule that doctors cannot perform surgery on their loved ones, it had long been an unwritten rule in the medical community. This was because when doctors perform surgery, they need to be fully focused, and any emotional fluctuations could lead to irreversible consequences. After all, how many people can guarantee that their hands won't shake when they are cutting open their loved ones with a knife? No

    Upon hearing Samuel Griffith's words, Luke quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's right. This is coercion. Testimonies obtained through coercion are not convincing and will not be accepted in court."Ella ignored Luke and turned to Samuel with a smile. "Don't worry, Officer Griffith. I know what to do."After Samuel left, Ella bent down again and lit the charcoal she had brought with her in a basin. Luke watched her actions and felt a chill run down his spine."What... what are you going to do? Just now, that officer said that testimonies obtained through coercion are useless...""Who said they're useless?" Ella sneered, picking up a piece of charcoal and walking toward him. "Just because the court doesn't accept them doesn't mean I don't. I don't care about evidence or no evidence! Do you really think I arrested you to overturn the case?"Luke's head buzzed with her words. "If you're not trying to overturn the case, then what do you want?""My father died in that fire, and my life was ruine

    Ella and Lucas left one after the other, but they didn't notice that someone had been silently watching them from the second-floor window of the Kane family's building.It wasn't until they were gone that she took out her phone and sent a message.Without waiting for a reply, she put her phone in her pocket and continued up the stairs to the Kane family's door. "Mrs Kane, it's me. I've come to find you to make barbecue..."When Mrs. Kane heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and stood up from the sofa."Oh, I forgot that I had an appointment with Mrs. Ruth to make Barbecue today!"She was about to walk to the door but was stopped by Mr. Kane."What are you doing..."Mrs. Kane didn't finish her sentence before Mr. Kane covered her mouth.Mr. Kane lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Don't you remember what Lila said when she left? Don't open the door to anyone except Jenna!"Mrs. Kane widened her eyes. "Mmm..."Although she was only making a sou

    As soon as Ella had a good word in her throat, she suddenly realized something was wrong.Before she left, she had explained to Mr. and Mrs. Kane that no one could open the door except Jenna, but this Aunt Ruth was not an outsider, and she had made an appointment with Mrs. Kane to make barbecue today. Would they just open the door?Thinking of this possibility, Ella pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Mom told you to come today to make barbecue? But she has already taken the two children out to play at the moment. Could it be that she forgot?"Aunt Ruth was also a little surprised: "Is your mother not at home?"Ella nodded affirmatively: "The two elders just took their two grandchildren out early in the morning.""I guess she really forgot," Aunt Ruth quickly came to her senses and waved her hand. "If she forgot, she forgot. It's not a big deal. I'll ask your mother when I see her later. That's fine, girl, go to your work."Ella nodded in agreement and didn’t talk too much nonsense with

    After Ella received the email, she didn't contact Samuel Griffith immediately. Instead, as Lila, she inquired about Samuel’s background on the sidelines. Only then did she learn that when Samuel was an intern at an airline company during his senior year, he actually made a serious mistake at work. Not only did he lose his job, but he was also punished. Since then, no airline had hired him again!Ella didn’t ask for details about the mistake. After all, everyone in this world has scars and pasts that they don't want to reveal.Based on Senior Samuel’s internship, she felt that the mistake might not have been entirely his fault.So, she just asked around to see where Samuel went next, but unexpectedly, Samuel had turned to the police.When Ella inquired, she already vaguely understood why Samuel sent her that email.Sure enough, after months of maintaining online contact, the two finally met once when he was dispatched abroad.
