"Mia, you're so good to me!" Matthew tightly hugged Lyra and refused to let go, constantly rubbing his chubby cheeks against her.Ronan gritted his teeth, glaring disapprovingly at Matthew, then pursed his lips and walked away briskly. Lyra watched his cold figure, feeling even more tender towards Matthew. The doctor came over and applied ointment to Matthew's bruises.Then Lyra took him to the restroom to clean his hands. Matthew complained of hunger, asking for a hamburger. Lyra reluctantly took him to McDonald's across the street from the hospital and bought him a chicken burger. "Matthew, does your dad hit you?" Lyra asked, worried. If Ronan did hit his son, she was considering whether to report it to the authorities. Although he had great influence in T city, this wasn't T city after all. At the very least, she could give him a warning or something. Chomping on his burger with a mouth full, Matthew looked like a cute little squirrel. "No, my dad has never hit me," he sa
Ronan's words, "My wife wouldn't abandon our son," completely shocked Lyra. Was Matthew her son? But didn't Torin say the child had died a long time ago? After thinking for a long time, Lyra decided she had to go find Torin to get things clear. She had never doubted Torin before; she just felt there must be some mistake. And now that Ronan also knew she was alive, he probably wouldn't let her go so easily. After pondering for a while, she realized she had to go find Torin to sort things out. Lyra packed everything up and handed the house keys to the landlord early the next morning. "I have urgent business and need to leave for a while. Once I've settled down, please send me my packed belongings." The landlord was curious, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" "I can't explain it right now, it's my private matter." Lyra hastily carried her luggage downstairs just as the taxi arrived. The landlord helped her load the luggage into the taxi's trunk. "I'm so
The airport announcement rang out: "Attention all passengers, we regret to inform you that your flight YX668 has been delayed due to weather conditions, and the departure time is pending. Please remain seated and wait for further instructions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!" The flight number is YX668. Lyra had an ominous feeling. She lowered her head to check her flight number, and sure enough, it was the flight she was supposed to take! How could this be so coincidental? Lyra gritted her teeth. As long as she could get into the waiting area, she would be relatively safe. She still handed her ID to the security officer. The security officer checked her ID and apologetically said, "I'm sorry, due to the weather conditions, your flight is delayed, and you can't get your boarding pass now." Lyra walked away disappointed. How could the flight be delayed just as it was her turn? Was it just a coincidence? After all, flight delays due to weather conditions wer
Ronan lifted his eyelids slightly, pretending not to notice. Along the way, Lyra was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She forced herself to appear calm and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window. The man lounging lazily beside her gave her a tremendous sense of oppression, making her deliberately suppress her breath. Sometimes the more worried you are, the more likely things are to happen. While waiting at the red light, Ronan squinted his eyes in the rearview mirror. The driver immediately understood, getting the CEO's meaning. He had been driving for Ronan for three years and had never seen Ronan sitting in a car with any woman before. There must be something about this mess. Greenlight, the driver stepped on the gas to start. As they turned at an intersection, he suddenly deliberately jerked the steering wheel outward. The driver smugly gave himself 32 thumbs up in his mind. He was a godsend! Sitting in the back seat, Lyra was caught off guard, and
Matthew suddenly whimsically said, "Little White, how about I find you a mom?" Little White barked twice, indicating he didn't understand. Matthew thought of Lyra's gentle demeanor and chuckled. With his chubby little legs kicking the edge of the bed, Matthew shyly said, "Little White, would you like Mia to be your mom?" Before Little White could respond, the hospital door was abruptly pushed open. Lyra appeared at the doorway, shouting, "Matthew!" Matthew paused for a moment, then immediately jumped off the bed. Bounding toward Lyra with joy, he rushed over like a gust of wind. He was just thinking about Mia, and Mia showed up. It was like they were on the same wavelength! Today he wore a Captain America hoodie and matching sweatpants, looking incredibly cute. "Mia, you came to see me!" he exclaimed excitedly, throwing himself into Lyra's arms. Dad said if he came to the hospital to play for a while, he'd bring Mia over. Dad wasn't lying after all; everything he said was
Five years ago, when Lyra was wheeled out of the operating room, he was injected with a sedative by the hospital doctors because his emotions were too intense. Now, upon reflection, it's clear that doctors at the Mayo Medical Center would never have had the audacity to do such a thing. Moreover, he secluded himself for several days, and when he emerged, Lyra's body had already been cremated. Was the rush to cremate her, not an attempt to destroy evidence? At the time, Matthew had just been born prematurely, and his health was much weaker than that of a full-term baby. For the sake of his son, he gradually pulled himself together. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many strange aspects to the whole affair. When he first saw Mia Vale, he almost thought he was dreaming. He could be certain that Mia Vale was Lyra, his deceased wife of five years. Some might argue that there could be people who look so similar in the world. But he could swear one hund
"I finished my business and came over. I am your guardian, it's perfectly normal for me to come and find you," Ronan replied loftily. Matthew was almost driven crazy by his clueless father, wearing a face full of disdain, completely unwilling to hide it. "I'm already grown up, I don't need a guardian!" Ronan looked down at him disdainfully. Matthew tilted his head up to meet his gaze and realized just how much shorter he was compared to his father. Damn, being short was a disadvantage; he felt completely overshadowed by his dad! Matthew deflated, feeling disappointed. He had planned to confess to Mia today. How could he do it with his dad around? The standoff between father and son intensified, the tension thickening. Lyra stood awkwardly on the side. Ronan was already here, she couldn't just ask him to leave! So she delicately said, "Matthew and I are going to have dinner now. I've already reserved a table at the restaurant." The implication was clear: there's no seat reserve
Matthew nervously snatched the phone, only to find that it hadn't been dialed at all. "Dad, you lied to me!" The little guy immediately became furious. "So what if I lied to you?" Ronan snorted. "Lying makes your nose grow longer!" "Hmph, that's just a scare tactic..." Ronan initially wanted to say it was just to scare the kid, but then thought better of it. He couldn't say that, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to scare his son in the future. With a smug expression, he said, "That kind of thing only works on children, it does not affect me." "You lied, the teacher says everyone is the same!" "Ignorant little brat!" The two of them argued back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, leaving Lyra dumbfounded. She hadn't expected this father and son pair to argue so immaturely for a full ten minutes. Matthew was only five years old. But Ronan? Lyra's eye twitched. Was he really this immature, arguing with a child? Suddenly, she understood. So, this was how they interac
