Patricia hadn't had time to sort out her thoughts when she heard a ‘bang’. Randy suddenly fell to the ground, his small body curled up into a ball, his little face pale as a sheet. His lips turned purple then blue, and he clutched his neck, desperately gasping for breath."Randy!""Randy!"Patricia and Martin exclaimed simultaneously.Martin immediately crouched down, picked Randy up from the floor, and laid him flat on the sofa. He roared at Barbara, "He's having an asthma attack, hurry and get the medicine!"Barbara, frightened and flustered, rushed to find the medicine. But after rummaging through the medical kit, she couldn't find the asthma medication, leaving her at a loss."Sir, the medicine, it's gone! I remember that we always kept the medicine in the medical kit, but now it’s gone.”A frosty gloom filled Martin’s hawk-like eyes, turning his previously dignified face into a menacing one, as though he had come from hell itself, instilling panic in the hearts of those around hi
A coldness flashed in Martin's eyes. Hunter? The Hunter that Patricia would dream about?As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Patricia woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, accepting Hunter's friend request.Hunter immediately sent a message: ‘You're still awake so late?’Patricia replied, ‘Yeah! And you, why aren't you sleeping?’Hunter said, ‘I was on a business trip the past few days and wasn't in Ivara City. I just got off the plane. When are you free? Let's have a meal together?’Without hesitation, Patricia agreed, ‘Sure! When are you usually available?’Hunter replied, ‘I've been in Ivara City recently, you let me know when you are free, I'm available anytime!’Patricia sent a shy emoticon.Martin, who was openly observing their conversation, was confused. Patricia said, ‘Alright, I'll message you after I finish up what I'm currently dealing with.’Hunter replied, ‘Okay! It's getting late, you should rest. It's good for your skin to
Patricia returned to her room, feeling aggrieved, tears flowing like a newly opened spring.Suddenly, her phone beeped with a WhatsApp message. It was from Charles.‘Mommy, are you free? Fannie and I miss you so much, can we see you?’Not wanting to worry them, Patricia lifted her head, took two deep breaths, and held back her tears. After making sure her face didn't show any sign, she went to the bathroom and started a video call to Charles.He answered immediately. Charles and Fannie's heads squeezed into the small phone screen."Mommy, we miss you so much. Why didn't you come home today?"After speaking, Charles noticed that Patricia's eyes were reddened and hurriedly asked, "Mommy, why are your eyes red? Did you cry? Did that jerk of a dad bully you?"With his reminder, Fannie also noticed that Patricia's expression was off and pouted, "Mommy, how did that jerk of a dad bully you? Tell me and Charles, we'll help you get revenge."Patricia shook her head, forcing out a smile, "Mart
Patricia retaliated without backing down, "Randy is your own great-grandson. Can't a grandson miss his great-grandfather and come to see him? Or are you feeling guilty? Afraid the child might see something?"Gavin's expression turned hideous. "What nonsense are you filling the child's head with? I..."Before he could finish speaking, Randy suddenly picked up a nearby vase and threw it at Gavin. His cute little face turned bright red, resembling an angry beast. "You bad guy! You're not allowed to bully my mommy. If you dare to bully my mommy again, I'll kill you..."Caught off guard, Gavin took the vase straight to his chest. The vase fell to the ground and shattered with a loud "bang." Gavin's face changed, his heart feeling as though it was bleeding. The pain of being hit was nothing compared to the devastation of his heart. After all, the vase was an antique from the Renaissance period that he had spent a hundred million dollars on, and there was only one of its kind. And now, it h
Randy cunningly rolled his eyes. He tasted every dish on the table and then spat it all out."The meat is too tough.""The fish is too fishy.""The soup is so salty, it's killing me.""The caviar tastes fake, it's...""Do you really think it's because I don't want to spend money? If I can't afford it, I have plenty at home. I can give some to you." "Crabs have a strong fishy smell.""These dishes are really terrible, nothing compared to my mom's cooking skills."Almost every dish was criticized as being useless, and finally came the conclusion, "Daddy, the food here is too awful. Let's not come here anymore. The people here are not good either.”“Auntie slapped me, grandpa hit me too. They are all bad people! Only mommy is good to me. She protected me when grandpa wanted to hit me."Upon hearing his words, Gavin's heart skipped a beat. "Randy, what nonsense are you talking about? What if your dad misunderstands? When did grandpa want to hit you? He was trying to pick up the broken va
Seeing her cry, Randy hugged her leg and started crying too. Martin felt a surge of protectiveness towards Patricia as he observed them both, crying, together. Gavin was horrified, his palms sweating as he tried to explain, "Martin, there's a misunderstanding in this matter! Patricia and Debbie are both my daughters. I admit that I have been favoring Debbie, but it's because of her poor health and my guilt towards her.” “I just wanted to compensate her more. Patricia not only fails to understand my good intentions, but also repeatedly hurts Debbie. I'm just so disappointed, which is why I almost lost control and wanted to hit her."Rather than reflecting on himself, he shifted all the blame onto Patricia. Martin's pupils contracted, his gaze turning cold and intense, as he spoke with a chilling curve, "Why should Patricia repay your debts? What about the things you owe her all these years? How do you plan to repay her?"With that one statement, Gavin was left speechless. Martin, lik
Patricia opened the door and when she saw the situation inside, she was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Jade was hiding under the dining table, covered in paintball marks, with almost no intact spot left, and her appearance was disheveled. Her eyes, which used to shine with spirit and radiance, were now dull and filled with despair. It was the first time Patricia had seen Jade like this, and she didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help it. She bent over, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. Jade, who had almost gone crazy from being tormented by the two little ones, ran over to her as if she saw a savior and hugged her arm, sobbing loudly. "Wuwu, you finally came back. If you didn't come back, I wouldn't have seen you." Patricia teased, "Didn't you say you missed them? This is great. Let them play with you for a while longer." Jade, with tears streaming, said, "How would I have known that they have so much energy? It's been only a year, but they've changed
Afraid that the person might come after Randy again, Patricia hurried back to the Ellenstein Villa District before dinner. Randy sat sulking at the table, arms crossed, with a pout on his little mouth. Martin's face was gloomy, indicating his own dissatisfaction as well. Neither of them paid any attention to each other, just staring, with the air filled with tension."I want to find mommy." Randy said in a tone that showed his stubborn nature."Your mommy has her own things to do. She can't be with you 24/7. You can't selfishly keep her by your side forever." Came Martin’s reply.Randy didn't listen and persisted, "No, I want mommy."Martin's temples bulged and his voice squeezed out through his teeth, "Randy!"Unfortunately, his words had no effect on Randy."If you don't let me video call mommy, I won't eat. If you can bear it, then let me starve!" came Randy’s warning.A storm cloud obscured Martin's eyes and the surrounding air turned cold.Helpless watching the bickering between
