The doctor finally came out about 20 minutes later. Eva quickly went to him with her children and asked, “Doctor, how's the person inside doing?” Finn asked anxiously as well, “Doctor, is my boss alright?” The doctor looked at them both and tried to calm them down. “You don’t need to worry. The patient is doing fine. He just has a mild concussion and has a minor wound. We’ve already bandaged him up, and he doesn’t seem to be hurt anywhere else. He can be transferred to a normal ward immediately.” Eva could finally stop worrying about him when she heard that. How fortunate! It was great that nothing happened to him. If anything did happen to him, she would not know how to explain it to the children. She gave a sigh and quickly comforted the children. “Your daddy is fine now. Don’t worry. He’ll get well very soon.” “Really?” The children did not seem convinced. Finn immediately comforted them too when he saw their reactions. “It’s true. He’ll
All they got was a sneer from Nathan. “Oh, temporarily out of his mind? You’re making it sound so mild, Mr. Pileggi. Your son tried to kill my son and daughter. When I managed to stop him, he didn’t even think twice about what he had done and tried to stab me with his dagger! "Do you know about any of this?” His tone was considered polite when he said all that. However, it could not hide the animosity he felt for them. They could feel a chilling anger emanating from him. His face was filled with fury. Frank and Fiona’s expressions froze. They were fearful. They had heard about Nathan reuniting with his son and daughter. However, they had thought it was fake news, and they decided to take a chance tonight to beg for forgiveness. Who knew that news was true?! This meant that it was impossible for Nathan to let Nick off the hook. Moreover, Nick had endangered the children, which meant that even the Langleys’ elders would not forgive him for this!
Nathan seemed to sense someone looking at him and suddenly opened his eyes. The two ended up staring at each other. The man's eyes seemed to be filled with stars. Eva jumped and snapped out of it, looking a little embarrassed and troubled. She had actually stared at this man! Even though he had rescued her and the children, he was still a criminal! Nathan looked at her in astonishment. “Why haven't you gone to sleep? Eva pulled herself together and said a little coldly, “I have something to talk to you about.” Taking a seat opposite him, she continued, “Thank you... for today.” Nathan raised an eyebrow, acting like it was nothing. “There's no need to thank me. They're my children too. Saving them is what I should do. If there's anyone here who needs to feel grateful, it should be me. "If you hadn't stood in front of me, I might have ended up getting stabbed by Nick Pileggi. Besides, I'm the cause of the grudge the Pileggis have against you.” “I'm g
It was morning at Thriving Dragon Bay. Eva woke up early that morning, and Nathan was still asleep. She did not wake him up. She brought the children downstairs as she prepared to leave. However, her car was with the traffic police as it crashed last night. Thus, she went to Finn instead. “Mr. Miller, do you have any cars here that I can borrow first?” Finn paused a moment before replying, “Yes, we do. Come with me to the garage to pick a car, Miss Lane. I don't think Mr. Langley would mind.” “Thank you.” Eva smiled and thanked him. She followed Finn to the underground garage. She was stunned by what she saw. Rows of expensive and luxurious cars were parked tidily in the garage. There were limited edition Lamborghini and Maybach models that were worth billions and other expensive cars that were worth millions. Eva swept her gaze on all the cars, only to realize that even the cheapest model was worth at least a million. This was not a garage.
It was about nine in the morning. Eva checked all the flowers she had planted a few days ago. They were growing well, and some seeds were already beginning to sprout. Eva was satisfied with the progress after checking the plants. She decided to head to the mall and get presents for her children. She knew that Max had been wanting a certain spaceship model for quite a while. She did not get it for him before this because she was worried he would end up playing with it so much that he would ignore his studies. Eva decided to make his wish come true this birthday. As for Mia, she wanted a figurine of the Snow Queen. Even though money was tight for Eva, she was willing to spend to make the children happy. She did not waste any time and headed straight to the toy store to get the presents. The store assistant was very friendly. He asked what Eva was looking for and even told her that he could recommend some toys to her. However, Eva rejected the offer
The sky was already dark. Cloudy Hills Estate was brightly lit. The living room in the main villa was decorated with fresh flowers and balloons. Fine gauze and multi-colored lights were also hung up all around. A white, embroidered tablecloth was laid out on the long table. Plates of exquisite cakes were placed on the table with glasses of delicious fruit juice. The courtyard outside had been transformed into a temporary party area. Soft lights were lit up out there, and a chef specially hired by the Langleys was preparing various delicacies on the spot for the guests. The decorations were put up earlier in the day by professionals hired by Nathan. As the children's identities had not been publicly announced and there was a need to protect them, the party was held with a low profile. However, Eva did invite the children's classmates and their parents. The guests arrived at eight that night. Eva and Nathan welcomed everyone at the door with the chi
The children's eyes brightened up once more at the sight of their present. “Mommy, this is so pretty.” Mia could never resist anything shiny. She looked like she could not bear to part with the necklace. “This necklace is a set with Mia's. Thank you, Mommy. I like it a lot.” Max thanked her obediently and went forward to kiss his mommy on the cheek. Mia followed suit and kissed Eva on the other side of the cheek. Eva looked really happy. There was a soft smile on Nathan's face as he watched them. Mia took the necklace and gave it to Nathan. “Help me put it on, Daddy.” “Sure.” Nathan agreed readily. As for Max, he got his mommy to help him with the necklace. It was a sweet moment for this family of four. Smiling, Yelena reminded Eva, “Miss Lane, it's time for the children to cut the cake and make their wishes.” Eva got up and looked at Yelena. Yelena had already pushed her grandfather out of his room. The old man was in his wheelchair.
Mason had always spent the children’s birthday with them every year, but this year, he had forgotten about it because of all the trouble his company was facing. He had to do something about this. Mason turned and quickly went into his office. The assistants’ working area was right outside the door. Sean was busy with work, but when he saw Mason running toward him anxiously, he got up and asked, “Did something happen, Mr. Young?” Mason replied, “It’s the children’s birthday today. Get me two presents for them right now.” Sean was taken aback. He looked at his watch, and it was already 10:30 pm. “Mr. Young, most stores are closed at this hour. I don’t think we’re able to get anything now.” Mason’s heart sank. Eva might be sad because he missed out on the children’s birthday. Mason insisted, “I don’t care. Do something about this. If you can’t buy anything now, get something from your friends. It has to be figurines. The children love them.” Sean had no
