Liora had always enjoyed good health with very few instances of illness. However, last night's incident had left her with a high fever.Caroline couldn't fathom what had frightened Liora so much.Suddenly, Liora started talking in her sleep, saying, "Don't go, Daddy, don't leave me..."Caroline gently patted Liora's chest to comfort her, saying, "Don't be scared, Lia. I'm here."Liora's mood gradually calmed, possibly due to the reassurance in Caroline's voice.After seeing that Liora was comforted, Caroline sighed with relief. She pulled out her phone and opened her messaging app to contact Evan.She took a moment to compose her message.Caroline: [I'll find a way to thank you for what happened last night.]Evan promptly responded.Evan: [It's okay. Just take good care of the child.]Caroline: [These are two separate matters.]Evan: [Liora's situation is far from trivial. If you want to show your gratitude, how do you plan to do it?]Evan's response took Caroline aback. Sh
Paige noticed both of them in the room and said, "I need to leave because I have something to attend to this afternoon."Caroline nodded and replied, "Alright. I won't send you downstairs then.""Goodbye," Scott said gently.Paige waved and exited the room.After Paige left, Scott checked Liora's body temperature. Upon noticing her fever nearing 40°C, Scott frowned and stated, "I'll give her an injection to reduce her fever."Caroline asked after the injection, "How long until her fever goes down?"Scott said, "If there's no inflammation, her fever should subside quickly."Caroline nodded, and they sat together on the sofa while Scott packed his things. Scott turned to Caroline and asked, "Can you tell me what happened now?"Caroline sipped her juice and explained what she had learned from Paige. Scott frowned and glanced worriedly at Liora. "I'm concerned that Liora might develop psychological trauma from this incident."Caroline suggested, "Wouldn't it be better if you s
Liora blinked and asked, "Where's Daddy?"Caroline's body instantly tensed.' Did Scott's guess come true?'With a worried look, Caroline asked, "Lia, are you looking for Papa Wilson?""No," Liora stated firmly.Realizing her mistake, Liora corrected herself, saying, "I misspoke."Caroline's heart ached as she saw Liora's expression.'Is Lia saying this to spare my feelings? Have my selfish actions kept the children away from their father?' Caroline wondered."Lia, you didn't misspeak. Do you want to see your father?" Caroline managed a forced smile.Liora looked cautiously at Caroline and softly replied, "Hmm."Emotions overwhelmed Caroline. "If you need your father, I can take you to see him."Liora shook her head vigorously, not wanting to be separated from her mother."Mommy, no… I don't want to leave you, but…" Liora's eyes filled with tears."Hmm?""But Daddy saved me, and I…" Liora couldn't find the courage to continue."You want Daddy and Mommy to be with you, righ
Caroline stepped aside and said, "She's awake and doing pretty well."Confused by Caroline's remark, Tyler approached the bed.As he looked at Liora, the thought that she might be terrified to the point of mental paralysis crossed Tyler's mind.Anxiously, Tyler extended his hand and waved it in front of Liora's face."Are you alright, Lia?" he asked.Liora replied, "I'm fine! Since a bad man ambushed me, it means I'm too beautiful!"Tyler withdrew his hand, teasing, "Oh! You must be fine since you're complimenting yourself so vainly."Liora sat up. "Who's being vain? Please explain yourself clearly, Tyler!" Tyler tutted in contempt and said, "I've never met anyone who compliments their own beauty.""You're just jealous of my unmatched beauty!" Liora punched the blanket in frustration.Tyler turned away and said, "I need a moment. I'll be right back.""Gahh! Wait right there, Tyler!" Liora sprang out of bed with agility to chase after Tyler.Caroline wondered if she had giv
After sending the text, a red exclamation mark appeared on his screen.Alex's eyes widened in shock. "Did Paige block me?"Evan set down the magazine. "If you can't even figure out the first issue, don't even consider involving me.""I'll just see her in MK if I can't call her." Alex sighed, placing his phone down in disappointment.Evan warned him, "Don't bother my employee at work.""I'm not bothering her. I'm pursuing my future! I'm not like you, stuck in the past with Caroline!" Alex touched a nerve with Evan.Evan's expression turned serious instantly. "Do you want to leave here on your own, or should I get someone to escort you out?"Alex reclined on the sofa. "I'm not leaving, especially since you won't even let me visit Paige!"Evan was furious. He was about to speak when Alex suddenly asked, "Do you know that Caroline is going to Mount Zenya next week?"Evan frowned. "Why would I care about her?"Alex sat up, sounding concerned. "Do you know how dangerous Mount Zenya
"No, I won't let go of something that upsets you so easily," Danielle said, her chin held high. "It's concerning that one of your children isn't doing well, but how can you neglect both of them? Are all three of them headed for trouble in the future?"Caroline couldn't stay calm when someone spoke ill of her children. "How dare you say that about my kids?!""I'm not cursing them, just stating the truth. I coincidentally ran into you at the company today and thought I'd remind you out of concern so you wouldn't be an irresponsible mother. Your daughter got lucky. Otherwise, she could have suffered terribly if she had actually been assaulted—"Before Daniella could finish her sentence, Caroline approached and slapped her hard.Daniella's head snapped to the side from the force of the slap. She stared at Caroline in disbelief. "Did you just hit me?!""I don't hit people, but I'll defend my children! I'm warning you not to involve my kids!" Caroline snarled."Was I wrong? Your child.
"Can't you call me from a safe place?" Evan asked.He controlled his emotions and spoke coldly. "What do you want from me?"His sudden change in demeanor took Caroline aback."Where's Axel? Do you have his phone?" Caroline finally asked what was on her mind.Evan's eyes shifted. "Why do you need to talk to him?"Caroline noticed Evan's change and frowned. "Are you hiding something from me?"Evan snapped, "No! Just talk!"Caroline pleaded, "Can you let me speak with Axel?""No!" Evan firmly refused.Caroline couldn't lose her temper with Evan, knowing he had saved her and Liora from a dangerous situation.She said, "If possible, please let me talk to him. I miss Axel so much."Evan was moved by the sight of Caroline's teary eyes.Axel was in protective isolation after his bone marrow transplant. Evan believed Caroline wouldn't be as stressed if she learned the truth now.Evan was about to say something when Caroline's phone rang.She answered the call and said, "What is it
Caroline spotted Liora in the yard immediately upon exiting the car. Liora did squats with a stern expression.Beside her, Eira monitored the time on her phone.Caroline didn't approach but quietly leaned against the front of her car, offering silent company to Liora.After three minutes of squats, Liora couldn't bear it any longer and dropped to her knees."Get up! Three rounds of deep squats now!" Eira shouted sternly, putting down her phone.Liora rose to her feet, biting her lower lip, and followed Eira's instructions to do more squats.Caroline wanted to intervene. Eira noticed her as she took two steps forward and shook her head, signaling Caroline not to disturb Liora.Unable to watch any longer, Caroline retreated to the villa.It didn't take long before Kenny returned and called out to Caroline from the foyer, "G!"Caroline replied from the living room, "I'm here."Kenny asked, "Why is Lia working so hard lately, G? She's been training with Eira daily."Caroline rep
