Caroline held a meeting with the production team in the afternoon. They estimated they could finish the first batch of clothes after ten days.This duration had exceeded Caroline's expectations.She reminded the head of the production team, "The production speed is important, but there aren't many workers in the factory now. Please, don't make them work overtime." She would not blindly pursue speed. She wanted nothing but the quality of the clothes and her employees' physical and mental health.The head of the production team replied, "Understood, Ms. Shenton. I'll obey your rule and let them get off work on time. The factory won't operate at night."Caroline nodded. She then said to Naomi Lynch, the recently promoted secretary, "Naomi, order the security department to keep an eye on the factory. Ask them to be on guard."Naomi was a woman in her early 30s. Her short hair made her look very capable. Caroline had chosen her because her serious facial features made Caroline reca
Caroline and Evan entered the hospital, both feeling calmer. They rode the elevator to the top floor.As the elevator doors opened, Caroline's surprise grew. It was like a spacious apartment up there, divided into five rooms by transparent glass. Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the space filled with flowers and trees. It felt cozy, more like a vacation spot than a hospital.However, it was nothing like a typical hospital scene. It felt more like a holiday retreat.Caroline's attention shifted to the doctors, her gaze fixed on them as she observed the rooms. Her eyes landed on Lily, lying in a bed with a respirator.Filled with relief upon hearing the steady sounds of the medical equipment, Caroline found some comfort.The doctor, who had been noting down information about Lily, turned to face Evan. With respect, he bowed and began explaining the situation to Evan in fluent Spanish.Meanwhile, the doctor's expression displayed a mix of confusion and dissatisfaction.Caroline o
"Sure," Caroline agreed with a happy smile.After chatting with the three children, Caroline stood up and left the hospital.Someone suddenly collided with her as she approached the exit and was about to hail a cab.This unexpected impact caused her to stagger a few steps before regaining her balance. However, the person who bumped into her fell to the ground heavily.Turning around, Caroline saw a woman wearing a long sleeping robe who appeared to be in a sorry state.Caroline could still make out the woman's delicate facial features despite her messy hair. The woman's eyes, though, were filled with fear and panic."I... I'm so sorry…" Jamie Weiss' voice trembled, and her eyes turned red.Caroline shook her head reassuringly. "I'm fine. Are you okay?"As she spoke, she extended her hand toward Jamie. "The ground is cold. Let me help you up."Unexpectedly, Jamie shuddered vigorously at Caroline's offer, leaving her a bit puzzled."Do you need assistance?" Caroline inquired on
After Caroline tended to Jamie's wound, she brought a set of clean clothes for the latter.When Kenny led Jamie to eat, Caroline called Axel."Mommy!" It was Liora who picked up the call. "Mommy, do you miss my brothers and me again?" Caroline smiled. "Yeah, but there's something else. Lia, can you let Ty talk on the phone?" Liora shouted, "Tyler, Mommy's calling you!"Soon, Tyler was on the phone. "Mommy, what can I help you with?"Caroline glanced at Jamie, who was eating in the dining room. "Ty, can you help me look into a person's profile?"Tyler agreed to it immediately. "Sure. Who is it?""I don't know who that is," Caroline explained. "I'll send you her photo later. Take a look and see when you can get her information.""Don't worry. But Mommy, the commission isn't cheap." Tyler chuckled naughtily. Helplessness engulfed her. "Well, you're getting naughtier now, aren't you?"Tyler begged for mercy. "Mommy, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously." If others aske
Caroline had no choice but to allow Jamie to stay at her house because she had no information about Jamie's background. Tomorrow, she intended to contact the police department to inquire about Jamie's situation.She had initially planned to assign a room to Jamie, but Jamie appeared fearful of sleeping alone. Thus, Jamie strongly preferred to sleep alongside Caroline.Respecting Jamie's wishes, Caroline agreed. Before going to bed, she let Jamie take a bath and then settle down beside her.As Caroline climbed into bed, Jamie asked, "What's your name?"Caroline assisted in making Jamie comfortable under the covers and replied, "I'm Caroline Shenton."Jamie murmured, "Caroline Shenton…"Caroline smiled faintly and asked, "What about you? Do you still remember your name?""Jamie Weiss." Jamie's eyes turned dull. "I only remember this."Caroline comforted her, "Well, I'll call you Juliet then. It's fine if you can't recall things. They'll slowly come to you. Don't worry. You can
Jamie looked to be in her 40s, and Liora was uncertain of her age. Thus, it seemed right to address Jamie as Madam.Jamie was stunned. She then pointed at herself and asked, "Were you talking to me?"Liora tilted her head. "You're alone here with Mommy. Of course, I won't call Mommy a madam."Jamie's thinking was slow. After she regained her wits, she smiled. "Well, you did well. I like it."After that, she squatted before the three children and said energetically, "Call me that again. I would like to hear it."Liora said sweetly, "Madam."Jamie nodded excitedly. "Hmm."Tyler also followed suit. "Madam, hello."Jamie nodded again. "Hmm!"Axel was shy. As such, he stood at the side and did not dare to speak up.Caroline did not force him, either. After all, there was something amiss with his mentality now. She could not force things.She then returned to the kitchen to cook while the children led Jamie to play with toys with them. *Evan sat on a sofa in a suburban villa,
As they sat down, the sound of a car engine reached them from the door.Soon, a knock came at the door."Mommy, let me get it," Tyler said as he was closest to the door. Holding a glass of water, he walked over to open it.Upon opening the door, he found an energetic old man with white hair standing there.Tyler smiled and inquired, "May I know who you're looking for?"Draco glanced down at Tyler and was momentarily stunned. Then he agitatedly asked, "Young man, who are you?"Tyler smiled and replied, "Sir, isn't it impolite to ask for the host's name the moment you arrive?""Yes!" Draco's face lit up. "You sound just like Evan!"Upon hearing that, Tyler became cautious. He was about to respond when Caroline called out to him, "Ty, who is it?"Tyler shifted his gaze toward Caroline. "It's an old man who's saying strange things."Caroline grew concerned and swiftly walked over to the entrance.When she saw Draco, her heart raced. She already had to be wary of Evan, and now Dr
Draco narrowed his eyes. "You're an exception!""Thank you for your compliment." Caroline did not stand on ceremony.Draco then looked upstairs. "Let's talk about the kid."Caroline looked at him vigilantly. "What right do you have to ask about my kid?" Draco's face turned hideous. "That child looks very much like Evan!""It doesn't mean that he's Evan's child!" Caroline retorted coldly.Drano scoffed. "Fine! You can be stubborn. But you can't fake their DNA!"Listen. If that child is Evan's, I won't let the child live with a woman like you! We'll get the child's custody!"Caroline felt anxious upon hearing that, her palms becoming sweaty.If Evan discovered the truth, she could handle it. Yet, if Draco found out, she might have no options left.She would never allow Draco to separate her from her child.All of a sudden, they heard the door opening.Caroline and Draco swiftly looked over and saw Scott enter in a rush, holding the newly purchased vegetables.Caroline was b
