Chapter 1578

Author: Chweety
Linda's wide eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Peter, her face full of awe. "Peter, you're amazing! You're even better than my brother!"

Peter frowned, his expression as cold as ice as he looked at Linda.

Jeremy slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, 'This girl must be an idiot!'

Of course, he did not dare say it out loud. Instead, he held back his laughter and glanced at Peter.

He had wanted to warn Peter earlier that this Linda girl was not normal. Ever since she learned Peter's identity the day before, she had been acting completely out of the ordinary.

"Ms. Holt, I'll need you to come back to the country with me," Peter said flatly.

"Okay, sure!" Linda immediately jumped to her feet. "Peter, wherever you go, I'll follow. You don't have to worry. If you tell me to do something, I won't even have other thoughts!"

Peter was utterly baffled.

"You really must be an idiot." Peter's words were sharp and unfiltered.

Tania had experienced Peter's sharp tongue first

    "To save someone.""Save someone? I can do that too! My medical skills are exceptional, way better than my brother's!" Linda puffed up her chest confidently. "Leave it to me!""You?" Jeremy raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Looking at Linda, who seemed no older than 16. She hardly looked like someone with any medical expertise.Peter, however, took her words seriously and gave Linda a closer look. "You're saying you know medicine?""Of course, I do! Didn't you see what I was doing yesterday? I was extracting viruses from those people. Don't think the Holts only have my brother, Saxon, as their star! I'm great too!""Fine. If that's the case, you'll come back to the country with me," Peter replied without a trace of doubt.Peter did not question Linda's claims. After all, the Holts were a family of renowned medical practitioners. It was not surprising that Linda would possess such skills.Since Saxon could not be located, bringing Linda back seemed like a sensible plan. Her skills

    Brandon wiggled in Peter's arms, pouting as he protested, "No way, Daddy! I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat properly. Daddy, feel my cheeks—they've lost all their chubby cuteness!"Peter smirked coldly and pinched Brandon's cheek. "You've gotten chubbier.""Daddy, if you keep saying that, I'm going to be mad!" Brandon huffed, crossing his arms in a dramatic show of anger."Alright, Daddy's had a long flight and must be tired," Tania interjected with a sigh. "Come here, sweetie. I'll carry you!"She reached out to take Brandon, but Peter shook his head. "I'll carry him."Though Brandon pretended to be upset, he was clearly delighted to be held by Peter. He grinned and asked, "Daddy, you've been away for so many days. Did you miss Mommy and me?""I did.""Oh my gosh!" Outside the car, Linda's jaw dropped as she stared through the window at the family. Jeremy held her by the collar like she was a disobedient puppy."Oh, my idol! How could you be so gentle? Is that your

    "It happened several years ago when I was handling a situation in Saint Angel. I just happened to save a little beggar," Peter explained casually, clearly never giving much thought to Linda.If Linda had not mentioned it, he would have long forgotten the incident.Tania nodded in understanding. "I see. That little girl seems to admire you quite a bit," she remarked with a smile.Peter's sharp, piercing eyes softened the moment they met Tania's. Hearing her words, he could not help but reach out and gently ruffle her hair. "What's this? Are you jealous?""Jealous? What even is that?" Tania huffed, feigning indignation."You think I'd get jealous over a teenage girl? Peter, you must be mistaken." She slapped his hand away with a playful glare. "That little girl looks like she's only 15 or 16! She's still a minor!"Peter glanced at the spot on his hand where she had swatted him, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He sighed theatrically, "So, this is where I stand

    Though Peter had voiced his concerns, he allowed Zara to proceed as she insisted.Zara carried Brandon inside, but seeing her strain slightly, Brandon spoke up, "Zara, I can walk by myself!""Brandon is such a good boy!" Zara praised him warmly, gently setting him down. "Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania, would you like to rest for a while? I'm in the middle of cooking, and the meal will be ready soon.""Wow, it's so big!"A crisp, youthful voice echoed through the villa, carrying a playful tone. "Mr. Jeremy, could you help bring in my luggage?"'Luggage' was a bit of an exaggeration. It was just a small bag Linda had impulsively bought before boarding the plane.Linda strolled into the villa as though she owned the place, casually wandering around with her bright eyes scrutinizing everything. She nodded approvingly. "Not bad, not bad at all. This is so much better than my house.""Mr. Peter, who is this?"Zara looked curiously at the young girl, especially surprised by how at ease Linda se

    While Linda and Zara went upstairs, Peter headed into the kitchen to finish preparing the meal. Zara had already cooked most of it, so Peter only tidied up and added two more dishes. Meanwhile, Tania stayed in the living room, playing chess with Brandon.Even though Brandon was still young, his intelligence was remarkable—likely inherited from Peter. From a young age, Brandon had demonstrated abilities far beyond his peers. However, he rarely liked to show off and often concealed his talents at school.After playing a few rounds with Brandon, Tania looked up to see Peter walking out of the kitchen. He removed his apron, smiling lightly as he approached the two.Noticing how evenly matched Tania and Brandon were, Peter seemed surprised. "Brandon, your chess skills have improved a lot recently."His eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Brandon's moves. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. "Who taught you this strategy?""Steven," Tania replied, lifting her head with a helpless smile. "W

    "Wow, even when you insult me, you're adorable!" Linda exclaimed.Tania, Peter, and even Brandon were utterly speechless.The collective thought of the three was, 'This girl must have a few screws loose!'Tania was the first to recover, coughing lightly to break the awkwardness. "Um, the food is ready. Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat!"She asked Zara to clear the chessboard. At that moment, Jeremy came downstairs, saying, "Mr. Lennon, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Wait!" Tania called out, stopping him. "Sit down and eat with us!"Jeremy looked startled, glancing between Tania and Peter. "That doesn't seem appropriate, Mrs. Lennon.""If she said sit, just sit," Peter interjected.With Peter's approval, Jeremy stopped hesitating. Zara quickly added another set of cutlery, and Jeremy joined them at the table."This is so delicious!" Linda exclaimed loudly. She had a habit of reacting in an exaggerated manner, something the family initially struggled to get

    Peter glanced behind Brandon's ears and confirmed the faint patches were there as well. "Ms. Holt, your observational skills are impressive."Linda scratched her head sheepishly. "Hehe! Honestly, I was just guessing. I wasn't entirely sure. So, Master, are you saying the patients aren't your wife and child?"Peter nodded. "They are. But there's another patient I'd like you to examine as well. Her condition is more serious."Peter brought Tania and Linda along to the hospital, where Charles and Sean were already waiting. They had been informed of their arrival.After they got out of the car, Peter casually hoisted Brandon over his shoulder while Tania stepped down beside him. Linda trailed behind, her mouth agape and her expression brimming with excitement. "Wow, master, you're so cool!"Tania smiled wryly at Linda's enthusiasm. "Ms. Holt, are you always this... straightforward?"Linda beamed. "My goddess, you're so beautiful too!"Tania could not help but shake her head. "You ca

    Noelle looked slightly taken aback and turned her gaze to Charles, then to the group that had entered the ward."Peter's here, and so is Tania!"She smiled and put down her book.Tania quickly walked over. "Noelle, this is Linda Holt, the miracle doctor Pete brought!"Tania had already witnessed Linda's skills before arriving. Linda had only given Tania a couple of acupuncture treatments, and the dark patches behind her ears had lightened significantly. Tania even felt her body improving noticeably.Though Linda was young, her reputation as a prodigy from a prestigious medical family was not unwarranted.A miracle doctor?Charles' eyes narrowed as he glanced at Peter, who gave a small nod. "She's Saxon's sister."Linda directed her gaze toward Noelle, her expression serious as she circled around her twice. Her eyes never left Noelle, but she suddenly pouted."Strange. You've been infected with the virus, but your condition is so much better than the others!""Better?" Noelle

My mom says no one wants you because you're just a bastard!""Go away!

Their gazes were cold and indifferent. Even at school, the way those elite students looked at her was filled with mockery.She was only five when her mother brought her to this bustling metropolis, leading her straight to this grand yet icy mansion.The people here were dressed elegantly, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away. However, when they looked at her a

    Even though she loved him deeply now, Noelle still felt as if a part of her memory was missing. It seemed unfair to Charles.Charles simply smiled, lowering his head to place a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips."Alright. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." He agreed, his tone warm and unwavering. "But before that, I think we have something more important to do.""What is it?" Noelle looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with a misty glow that made Charles' heart ripple."Our wedding night, of course, Mrs. Hoffman."Noelle's face turned bright red in an instant. "But… we're in a hotel, not Phoenix Tree Residence!""It doesn't matter where we are. As long as I have you, that's all that matters."Tonight, every word Charles spoke was as if dipped in honey, making Noelle's heart race. She stole a shy glance at him. "But… my brother and the others are still outside—""Forget about them."Without another word, Charles scooped her up and carried her straight to the bed, b

    "Charlie, I forgot about you. Tell me the truth—are you angry?"Charles sighed. "No, how could I ever be angry with you?"He reached out and gently tucked a strand of Noelle's hair behind her ear. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. "Even if you never remember me for the rest of your life, I still wouldn't be angry.""Really?"Charles nodded.Noelle hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to look straight at him. "Charlie… if—just hypothetically—if things between me and Xavier had never gone wrong… If Winter never came between us and I was still with Xavier… What would you have done? Would you have just watched me get engaged to him? Marry him? And then—"Before she could finish, Charles pressed a finger against her lips, silencing her.Noelle blinked and saw that his gaze had deepened. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist."No. That would never happen," he said firmly. The very thought of her with someone else, marrying someone else

    The moment Noelle finished speaking, the world seemed to fall silent.Charles' lips curved into a faint smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. Yet if one looked closely, there was a serious intensity in his gaze as he fixed it on Noelle. "Hmm? What did my wife just say?"Noelle shot him a sharp glare. "I don't care. Whatever it is, you're not allowed to read it. Give it back!"She pouted, her expression just as serious and determined.Charles raised an eyebrow, surprised by how adamant she was.Though curiosity tugged at him, he would not force her if she felt so strongly about it. "Alright, I won't read it."Hearing this, Noelle exhaled in relief and reached out her hand. "Then give it back."Charles' eyes glimmered with amusement. "I promise I won't read it now, but I'll wait for the day you show it to me yourself."After saying that, he placed the diary into Noelle's hand. Instead of letting her go, however, he pulled her into an embrace as if he wanted to merge her into h

    So, that was why the name felt so familiar—because Noelle had known Charles since she was a child.No wonder, the first time she met him, his gaze had seemed to pierce right through her as if he were looking for someone else. Had he been looking at her all along?Noelle reached up and touched her own face, realization washing over her. The memories she had lost all this time… They were about Charles?Her emotions swelled uncontrollably. Moving carefully, she knelt before him, her gaze fixed intently on his face. She compared his features to the descriptions she had recorded in her diary.With a trembling hand, she reached out, stopping just shy of touching his cheek.She simply watched him, quietly, taking in his features. They were so similar to the ones she had once described in her diary. A sudden chuckle escaped her lips.Even though she still could not recall the details of how they had met, she could tell from her own words just how much she must have liked him back then. O

    Noelle smiled softly. "It's nothing. He probably just drank too much."Tania handed her a cup. "Here's some honey water. Let my brother drink some later."She paused for a moment before adding, "Don't worry about Ice and Glitter. Peter and I will take care of them.""Thank you, Tania." Noelle had indeed been worrying about the babies.The adults could stay up celebrating, but Connor and Nora were only two months old. They needed rest."It's nothing," Tania reassured her. "This is such a big day for you two. Don't worry, we'll take good care of the kids. Most of the guests have already left, and Grandpa and the others have gone home too."Noelle nodded. "What about you?""Peter and I will take Bran home soon, but we'll stop by Phoenix Tree Residence first to check on the babies.""Alright.""Just stay here and rest for now. Sean and the others are still partying pretty hard. I doubt they'll be leaving anytime soon."After Tania left, Noelle tested the temperature of the honey

    This wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Every moment was meticulously recorded by a dedicated team, with cameras set up throughout the venue to capture every detail of the ceremony from all angles.Charles and Noelle barely had a moment to rest as they moved from table to table, toasting guests with endless glasses of wine. The atmosphere remained lively and joyous deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Noelle finally helped Charles to a private lounge on the second floor of the hotel.Though many had stepped in to shield them from excessive drinking, there was no avoiding the celebratory nature of the occasion. The alcohol had inevitably taken its toll. After settling Charles onto the couch, Noelle fetched some honey water and a warm towel before returning to his side.Charles lay slightly on his side, propping his chin up with one hand. Noelle sat beside him and handed him the towel, but he did not reach for it.Sighing, she called soft

    Sean clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusement. "Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right. Just admit it—he's a strong rival."The second Sean finished speaking, he felt an icy stare pierce through him. Charles' glare was sharp enough to cut. "Hmm? What did you just say?""Nothing!" Sean swallowed hard, instantly backtracking. Dear god, a jealous man was terrifying!"You think he's

    Grant's eyes carried too many emotions—too many things unspoken. Noelle could not fully understand, but she could sense that there was something significant behind his words.The diary in her hands had to hold something important that was possibly related to the past she had forgotten. Perhaps they were the lost pieces of her memory that she had always assumed were not crucial.She had assumed so because otherwise, she would have recalled them after all these years. Besides, they had not seemed to affect her life in any meaningful way.Over time, she had gradually let go of the idea of remembering.Yet now, with Grant handing her this diary, an unsettling feeling crept over her as if she had forgotten something incredibly important—something she could not afford to lose.Holding the diary tightly, Noelle felt a strange mix of emotions that she could not quite describe.She hesitated before murmuring, "Thank you."In the end, she did not ask Grant where he had gotten the diary.
