Chapter 889

Author: Chweety
Peter clenched his fists tightly.

"Brandon looks a lot like you," Noelle remarked with a smile. During Peter's moment of hesitation, Noelle gently took Brandon from his arms.

As Brandon stirred, looking like he was about to wake up, Noelle softly hummed to soothe him. Brandon smacked his lips, found a comfortable position, and drifted back to sleep.

Peter's gaze softened as he looked at Brandon's small face.

Noticing Peter's change in expression, Noelle smiled. "There's a bond that comes from blood, something that can't be easily severed. If Brandon were someone else's child, would you be furious, Peter?"

Peter was stunned for a moment, and something seemed to click in his mind. He smirked. "You're too observant, Noelle."

"It's just that when we care, we get blinded." Noelle patted Brandon's small arm as she continued to rock him gently. She glanced toward the hospital ward. "Instead of lingering out here, maybe you should focus on what you need to do right now."

Peter nodded, l

    Hearing Tania's words, it was clear that she was protecting Trevon. Since Tania had spoken so highly of him, Henry and Nancy did not say much more—especially with Brandon there. Regardless of who Brandon's father was, the child was undeniably charming, and both Henry and Nancy were quite fond of him.They spent some more time talking at the hospital, but Nancy, feeling concerned about Tania having just returned, worried that she might be tired. Hence, she asked Noelle to take Tania home.On the way back, Noelle called Charles. He had just finished his work and said he would be heading home shortly. He asked what Noelle wanted for dinner, so Noelle glanced over at Tania and asked, "Ms. Tania, do you have any dietary restrictions?""I'm not picky," Tania replied, shaking her head. "Is that Charles?""Yeah, Charlie's almost done with work. He said he'll cook dinner when he gets home," Noelle explained."Charles can cook?" Tania asked, somewhat surprised. She then continued, "By the

    When Charles returned, Noelle, Tania, and Brandon were playing in the living room. Tania seemed to be on the phone with Trevon while Noelle was running around the room with Brandon in her arms.The moment Charles opened the door, he was greeted by this harmonious scene—especially the smile on Noelle's face as she held Brandon. Charles' gaze softened even more as he watched her.Noelle was the first to hear the door open. She turned around while still carrying Brandon and saw Charles standing in the entryway, his hands full of shopping bags. He was changing his shoes."Charlie!" she called out, setting Brandon down. She took his hand as they walked over. "Brandon, this is your Uncle Charles."Brandon shyly looked at Charles, tilting his head in such an endearing way that it melted Noelle's heart. "Charlie, this is Tania's son, Brandon!"Charles, who always had a sharp glint in his eyes, softened his gaze when it landed on Brandon. "Brandon, I'm your uncle!"Charles put down the ba

    Tania's face turned pale. "I... How is that possible? That can't be!""Impossible?" Charles chuckled, placing Brandon down from his lap. "Brandon, how about you go look for your Aunt Noelle?""Okay!" Brandon seemed in a good mood as he slid off Charles' lap and ran off to the kitchen. Charles stood up. "Come with me to the study."Tania felt uneasy, especially with what Charles was saying, which echoed some of the strange things Noelle had mentioned earlier in the day. Tania knew that with Charles' abilities, finding someone should be an easy task. If Charles said he could not locate her, then..."Take a look at this!" Charles opened a drawer and pulled out a yellow folder, handing it to Tania. "These are some of the leads I've gathered over the past three years while searching for you."According to these, you've supposedly been to countless countries. My men have been looking for you in each of those places. Now, tell me, who could be skillful enough to fool both me and Peter

    "No way! Brandon is so adorable, and he really likes me!" Noelle said as she placed the cup on the desk. Then, glancing at the stack of documents, she frowned slightly. "You still have so much work left?""Yeah.""By the way, about what I mentioned earlier today, you should probably look into it. I have this feeling Tania's story doesn't add up. You should've seen how she reacted when she saw Peter. I was there with him at the airport, and the moment she saw me, she was full of hostility.""Really?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Are you tattling?""I'm being serious!" Noelle glared at him. "She seemed to think there was something between Peter and me. You have no idea how furious she was when she talked to him, like she was spitting fire."And then she was cold toward me too. I think she still has feelings for Peter. As for her saying she's married… Well, I'd suggest you dig into that." Noelle patted Charles' shoulder as if she was passing on a great responsibility.Charles chuckle

    Noelle nodded. "Of course, I won't say anything. But…" She still felt a bit worried. "What if things between Peter and Tania don't improve? Tania mentioned she doesn't plan to stay long.""You don't need to worry about that," Charles said with a smile as he took her hand and led her out of the study."Knowing Peter's personality, now that Tania is back, he's not going to let her go that easily." After waiting for three years, there was no way he would let her slip away.…Since Charles had work the next day, Noelle went to the hospital with Tania. Nancy's condition could not afford any delays, and each day added to the risk. Tania sought out Sean directly. "Mr. Smith!""Why if it isn't my sister-in-law!" Sean greeted with a harmless smile when he saw Tania. He even pulled up a chair for her. "Please take a seat."Tania glanced at Sean. "Mr. Smith, I've already divorced Peter, so I don't deserve to be called your sister-in-law. You can just call me Tania."Sean narrowed his eyes

    Noelle was peeling an apple for Nancy when she looked up and saw Tania standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Tania, you're back?"The room fell silent, and the first to react was Brandon. He climbed down from Peter's lap and ran over to Tania, wrapping his little arms around her legs. "Mommy, Mr. Lennon said he's taking me to the amusement park.""Amusement park?" Tania frowned and looked at Peter in surprise."What are you doing here?" Tania's tone was not friendly. She had been so focused on Brandon that she had not noticed Peter's presence. Seeing how much Brandon seemed to like Peter, a hint of worry appeared on her face.Peter watched Brandon jump off his lap. He was concerned that Brandon might hurt himself. Even as Brandon ran to Tania, Peter's gaze remained soft, filled with a gentle warmth.Sensing the tension in the air, Noelle quickly intervened, "Peter came to check on Aunt Nancy. By the way, Tania, what did the doctor say?"She handed the task of peeling apples

    Tania claimed that Brandon was not Peter's child, but judging by the way Brandon acted around Peter, the affection between them could not be faked.Peter, who was usually so high and mighty, treated Brandon with such care even though Tania had claimed that the boy was not his. It showed just how deeply Peter loved Tania.Noelle did not know exactly what had transpired between the two of them, but she secretly hoped they could start over. However, thinking about Tania's marriage made Noelle worry that Peter's path might be a difficult one.Watching the heartwarming scene unfold before her, Noelle could not resist taking a photo and sending it to Charles. "Charlie, look at this. Don't they look like a happy little family?"Charles was in the middle of a meeting with senior executives. He had strictly ordered that phones were not allowed during meetings, and even if someone brought one, it had to be on silent.However, while a certain department head was giving his report, a ringtone

    Sean let out a chuckle. "You're quite considerate of others," he said as he walked toward his office, with Noelle following behind."Of course. Peter is Charlie's good friend, and Tania is Charlie's cousin. Naturally, I hope this all ends well. Besides, Brandon…""What about Brandon?" Sean, who had only met the child briefly, already found him quite likable. "He looks a lot like Peter, doesn't he?""You think so too?" Noelle's eyes brightened. "Look, I secretly recorded this video earlier when they weren't paying attention."She handed her phone to Sean, who watched the video and nodded in approval. "Impressive work, Noelle!""But don't worry. Even if Tania leaves now, Peter has ways to bring her back. He has always been persistent when it comes to Tania."Sean had witnessed their relationship back in the day and knew Peter was not someone who gave up easily."Speaking of Aunt Nancy's health, Tania plans to undergo some tests soon. Then, they'll schedule the surgery. We've discu

    Eloise's fingers shook just a little, but she nodded seriously. "Take your medicine, get better, and I'll go. Just don't send me away now, please."With that, Eloise held out the glass of water to Steven again. "You need to take care of yourself. You haven't had any rest for days."Steven stared at Eloise's defiant face and suddenly laughed mockingly. He stood up, towering over her with his tall frame. He tilted her chin up with his long fingers, his icy eyes locking onto her bare face. His words cut deep. "You seem to have forgotten that you're just a pawn to me. Even your name, Eloise, was chosen by me. Remember your place!"Eloise's face went white as she heard his words. Her hands balled into fists at her sides. She tried to read his expression, but his eyes were like ice—no warmth nor emotion."Yes, I've always known who I am," Eloise said quietly, looking down. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lost."She looked up again, her eyes then as cool and detached as his

    Charles squinted at him. "You don't seem too happy to have me around!""No, no, don't get me wrong. Noelle and Kelly are my sisters, and they’re part of the Smith family. I wouldn't ever dislike them! But don't you think you're wasting resources by being here?"Sean was practically pleading. "Look, if you're not smart with your money, that's fine by me!""Silly Sean! You just said they're your sisters, yet now you're talking about money?" Charles raised an eyebrow. Sean's face fell. "I messed up. I don't want your money. I'll pay you to leave, okay?"Charles just smirked. "Alright, I'll have my things packed up and head out in a couple of days."Sean let out a big sigh of relief. "Okay! I'll have someone clean up for you right away. It won't even take two days. We'll have it done today!" After saying that, Sean whistled cheerfully and bounced away.Charles rubbed his forehead, a bit frustrated, and quickly reviewed the latest reports about the Collosus Group.Steven had been sec

    Yves's car lingered long at the hospital entrance, finally pulling away as the last bit of night faded.Yves had been hanging around the hospital entrance for a while, and the secret guard who was watching him had already told Charles about it. Actually, Charles had seen the car parked outside the hospital on the security screen a long time ago.Charles was staring at the screen, lost in thought.After a bit, a tiny smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.Charles was surprised that Yves cared so much about Kelly. He was brave enough to come there all by himself, even though it was dangerous. The hospital was full of their own people. If Charles had not been sitting there and had caught Yves instead, this whole thing might already be over.The door to the hospital room opened, and Sean, who was tall and striking, stood there. He had been at the hospital a lot those days, staying close ever since he started looking after Kelly. Linda was there too.Every day, Linda was b

    "You must really want to die!" Yves twisted his hand, and Elon's arm popped out of its socket. "Who told you the York family has a dungeon? My father? Or...""No! The old master has nothing to do with this!""Hmph!" Yves glared at Elon. "You never saw me as your master, did you? Only my father?" Yves squeezed Elon's cheek. "What did my father give you that made you remain so loyal, even years after his death?""Nothing... You are my master. The old master gave me my life and asked me to follow you for all of it, so no matter what you do, I will obey.""Then why didn't you listen when I said not to hurt her?" A dangerous look flickered in Yves' eyes. "Hmm?""Because I know she'll mess up your big plans, Sir. You don't see it now, but one day you'll understand that I am doing all this for you." Elon clenched his teeth against the pain. "Sir, please see the truth. This woman will only hold you back. Even if you take my life now, I won't complain, but don't let her ruin your big plans

    Nobody knew if Kelly was alive or not because Sean's hospital would not let any information slip out. The place was locked down tight by Charles's crew, and not even Yves's toughest guys could bust in and rescue Kelly. Yves did not have a clue about Kelly's condition, so he could not just rush in without a plan.Somewhere hidden on the outskirts of town, a man was strung up on a scary-looking rack, his eyes shut and barely breathing.Yves sat on a chair nearby, fiddling with something in his hands, his eyes icy as he stared at the man hanging there. "You know you messed up, right?"The man, who was called Elon, kept his eyes shut tight and would not say a word. Yves glanced sharply at another guy standing close by. This guy was an assassin Yves had trained, just like Elon. They were always at Yves's side.Elon was usually the one out in the open, but this other guy, Yoan, worked from the shadows. They were Yves's main guys.Yves did not take Elon with him to Francoria that time be

    "Alright, then I'll leave my sister in your hands!"After spending some time with Linda, Noelle had come to realize that apart from being extremely serious when treating patients, Linda was otherwise quite childish. At moments like this, she was still very much a child at heart.However, spending time with Linda was easy. She had a way of making treatments feel relaxing, ensuring there was no pressure at all.Once Linda finished joking around, Charles led her away, taking her directly to Sean's lab for research.For the past few days, Linda had not stepped out of the hospital because she was entirely focused on finding a cure for the virus. She had practically made Sean's lab her home, eating, drinking, and sleeping there without a care.Despite her young age, Linda was undoubtedly a medical prodigy. She was only in her teens, yet she handled these complex medical challenges with astonishing composure.Sean had always believed his medical skills were exceptional—at least within h

    His slightly rough fingertips brushed against Noelle's skin, his gaze filled with tenderness as he shook his head slightly. "It's okay now."Noelle, however, couldn't hold back her emotions. She leaned her head against Charles' chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her voice carried a hint of grievance. "Why didn't you tell me?"If she had not noticed Linda's secretive behavior and recalled Peter's and Tania's hesitation that night, she would have never known just how much suffering Kelly had endured.Not to mention, it was all because of her. If not for the virus in her body, Kelly would not have put herself in danger."Don't cry." Charles coaxed her gently. "She wouldn't want you to be sad, would she?"Through the glass panel of the hospital room, he saw Linda putting away the silver needles. He gently patted Noelle's back. "Do you want to go in and see her?"Noelle pulled away from Charles, took the tissue from his hand, and wiped her tears. She nodded firmly. "Yes!""

    "Don't worry! You two really are sisters. Just as you're concerned about her, she's been worried about you too!"Linda was still young, and she did not quite understand the depth of sisterly bonds.She had grown up in a completely different environment. Though her family was large, there was never this kind of closeness.The person she was closest to was her older brother, but Saxon was a man, and his way of caring was completely different from that of a sister. Hence, Linda had a hard time grasping the emotions that Kelly and Noelle shared.However, even if she could not fully comprehend it, she could feel that these two truly cared for each other."During the time you were missing, Noelle could barely sleep at night. She kept having nightmares. Some days were better than others, but I could only help ease her pain temporarily." Linda sighed. "And now, you've only just woken up, and the first thing on your mind is Noelle.""How is Noelle now?" Kelly asked anxiously, her eyes fil

    Kelly remained in the ICU for two days before she finally woke up. This was not exactly what Linda had expected, but at least Kelly showed no adverse reactions upon regaining consciousness.However, she barely spoke.Linda had already spent several hours in the hospital ward, checking Kelly's condition and even performing acupuncture to alleviate her pain. However, Kelly was like a puppet on strings—silent and unresponsive. She did not speak, did not complain, and did not even flinch at the pain.Linda stared at Kelly's face, which looked almost identical to Noelle's, and sighed in boredom."Hey... You don't have to worry. Once your body recovers, I can remove the scars on your face and body." Linda reassured her."Trust me. After all, I do come from a family of doctors… Kelly, are you mute? Why won't you say anything?"Linda had been observing Kelly for hours now, and she was even quieter than a mute person.Even those who could not speak would at least make some sounds when th
