This time, that woman did not lie to Eva.The vaccine was under the tree, but it was buried beneath it.The soil in this area had signs of someone having dug it previously.Eva looked around. There were no tools for her to use. She decided to use her hands to dig up the soil.After a while, she finally dug up a box. She opened it to find the vaccine in a glass bottle. There was also some ice placed next to it.Nathan had just climbed over the wall. When he saw this, there was a complicated look on his face.Eva cried out of happiness. “The children are saved. Let’s go back to the hospital.”Nathan nodded. He left the park with her, and they sped toward the hospital.…The children’s condition was getting worse. Their heart rates kept dropping.Efforts were being put in by the Chief of Medicine and the team of experts to save them. However, the virus was too potent. Even the medication previously used no longer had any effect.It was then when a nurse hurried inside to report
Nathan walked over to them happily as well.The children smiled brightly as they looked up at him. They shouted, “Daddy.”Nathan’s heart softened. He rubbed their heads adoringly and asked warmly, “It’s good that you've woken up. Do you still feel unwell? Tell me if you do.” Mia and Max knew they had been sick. When they saw their mommy crying, they immediately smiled and comforted her. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. Don’t cry.” “That’s right, Mommy. We’ll be better soon. Don’t be sad.” They reached out to Eva with their soft, fair little hands to wipe off Eva’s tears.Eva quickly wiped her tears away when they reached out. “Alright. I'll stop crying. I’ll stop crying right now…” The Chief of Medicine walked in with the team of experts and said with a smile, “Mr. Langley, Mrs. Langley, the virus is almost gone from the children’s bodies. We would need to observe them a little longer. If there are no further issues with them, they can be discharged later.” Eva immediately stood up a
Nathan said nothing else, but a sharp look flashed in his eyes.He had not yet found everything he could about Tyler Sullivan, and now, there was Wanda Emerson.She was Eva’s mother.Besides that, she also had some sort of relationship with Tyler Sullivan.Who exactly was she?What was the reason for her to mastermind all of these?Nathan only found out that Wanda Emerson had abandoned her husband and daughter to leave the country. After that, there was no other news about her.There was no other information about her.He thought that he might be able to find out a little more from Eva.However, it looked like she did not know any more than he did.Nathan did not like the feeling of losing control of a situation.He contemplated the situation and took out his phone to call a few friends in Europe from the courtyard. He asked for their help to investigate Wanda Emerson.Eva felt a little tired by now.After the exhausting night, she decided to leave Nathan be as she went up
“Really?”Mason’s voice lowered. He seemed to have no idea what else to say.They became silent.Eva was the one who spoke up first after a while. “Err… If there's nothing else, I’ll be hanging up.” With that, she hung up before Mason could say anything.Nathan watched her throughout the call. He helped the children cut up their steaks while asking nonchalantly, “Is Mason Young following you? How did he know the children were admitted to the hospital?”It was not a loud call, but it was loud enough for him to hear the conversation.Eva said nothing. Her pretty brows were furrowed.She did not think that Mason would do something like that.Frowning, Nathan asked softly, “What kind of person do you think Mason Young is?”Eva was taken aback. She had no idea how to answer his question.She had always been grateful to Mason, but she also had unrealistic feelings for him.However, that was all there was.She lowered her eyes and gave Nathan an insincere reply, “He’s my senior
She was wearing a simple dress, but she looked elegant and proper, like a well-brought-up woman.Eva looked exceptionally well-matched with Nathan as she stood silently next to him. They were perfect for each other.While Robert quietly sized up Eva, she was also doing the same to him.Robert may be old now, but he still looked bright and healthy. He still had the air of a man who was head of the family. He was still quite a dignified man.As for Rebecca, she had taken good care of herself. She looked young and was dressed elegantly.Eva immediately greeted them politely, “How do you do, Mr. and Mrs. Langley Senior? My name is Eva Lane.”Robert noticed Eva spoke gently, and her mannerisms were poised and dainty. She was a good choice for a daughter-in-law. He was happy with her. Robert nodded at her. “So, you’re the mother of the children. You’re young, but you were able to bring up Max and Mia to be two good and obedient children. Good job. You must have spent quite a lot of e
Nathan was not happy to know that she was not really looking forward to their wedding.However, he changed his perspective on this at the thought of Eva about to become his woman. She would one day be with him of her own accord.Nathan did not say anything else. He nodded. “You should go.Nodding, Eva turned to head up to her grandfather’s room.Old Mr. Lane was still awake. He was watching the news on the television in his room.He smiled at Eva when she entered his room. “You’re back.Eva nodded and sat close to him. She hugged his arm. “Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”Old Mr. Lane replied, “It’s still early. Did you have fun just now?”“It was fine,” Eva replied.Old Mr. Lane laughed. “Mr. Langley is a pretty nice man.”Eva did not deny this. She leaned her head against her grandfather’s shoulder and stayed silent for a while.Old Mr. Lane knew she must have something to say to him, so he let her be.After a while, Eva snapped out of her reverie and said, “I was at N
Lucy walked out of the bathroom after coming to this decision.Hunter was in a bathrobe outside, seated on the sofa. He was enjoying some wine.Lucy’s expression changed to a shy one as she went close to him. “It’s getting late, Hunter. I'd better stay the night.” Hunter was delighted. “Sounds good. I’ll arrange a room for you.” …It was late at night at Cloudy Hills Estate. Eva had already gone to sleep.Her phone suddenly rang furiously, startling her awake.She quickly picked up the call and heard Mason slurring from the other end.He sounded like he was drunk and could not speak clearly. He could not even utter a proper sentence.Frowning, Eva asked, “Is there anything you need, Mason?” Mason was too drunk to respond properly. It took him a lot of effort to say, “Eva, we need to talk…”Before he could finish, there was a slam. It sounded like he had dropped the phone.After that, there was a muffled bump heard from the other end of the phone.It sounded like he ha
Nathan headed over to Cloudy Hills Estate early the next day.Eva hardly slept last night, and there were dark circles under her eyes.Nathan did not comment on it when he noticed them. All he said was, “You should get ready. We’re going over to the Lane household later.”“Why are we going over there?”Eva looked a little down. She seemed tired as well.Nathan felt a little helpless about it. “We shouldn’t be planning the wedding in such a careless manner. We have to do this the right way and get married in a proper and legitimate manner.”Eva was taken aback. That was when she noticed the car outside was filled with gifts.She was astounded to see that.There was also the fact that she had not mentioned her impending marriage to Eugene.Old Mr. Lane appeared. He was happy to see Nathan treating the wedding seriously and formally. He gave Eva a push. “What are you waiting for, silly girl? Hurry up and get dressed.”“Oh, okay.”Eva was left with no choice but to get dressed a
