Caroline replied, "The triplets are five years old."Zeke paused briefly and glanced at Caroline's slender figure. "I couldn't tell that you have three kids and still maintain such great shape.""You're very kind, Mr. Jung. Now that the contract is signed, are you available tomorrow morning, Mr. Jung?" Caroline took a sip of water, her face slightly blushing."I am. I'll have the bodyguard pick you up tomorrow. What time do you usually wake up, Ms. Shenton?" Zeke asked.Caroline answered, "I usually get up around 7:00 a.m."She habitually woke up at 7:00 a.m. to care for her children and only slept in if she was exceptionally tired."Alright. I'll have the bodyguard wait for you at 7:30 a.m.," Zeke confirmed.Caroline nodded. "Certainly, Mr. Jung.""Don't call me Mr. Jung anymore. It's too formal. We're partners, but we can also be friends, right?" Zeke suggested.Caroline found it a bit challenging to address him by his first name.Zeke smiled. "You don't mind if I call you
Tyler furrowed his brow and sat beside Liora, gently running his fingers through her hair."I know you'll feel better after getting an injection later," Tyler reassured her.Axel picked up a warm glass of water and asked, "Would you like some water, Lia?"Liora shook her head, her face contorted with discomfort. "No, I don't feel like drinking. I feel like throwing u—"In an instant, Liora covered her mouth, pushed Axel aside, and rushed to the bathroom.Tyler and Axel quickly followed her into the bathroom.Concerned, Axel tried to recall what Liora had eaten the previous night as her face turned ghastly pale from vomiting. He struggled to pinpoint the culprit.However, Tyler and Axel had no symptoms.Soon, the housekeeper arrived with Reuben in tow.Reuben's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Liora vomiting bile near the bathroom entrance. He gently patted her back and said, "Ms. Liora, I'm taking you to the hospital."Tears welled up in Liora's eyes as she whimpered, "I
The bodyguard nodded and turned to wake up Daniella, but she remained asleep. This made Bernard impatient. "Wake her up!" he ordered.The bodyguard slapped Daniella's face, shocking the other patients nearby. Someone approached and questioned, "Why are you doing this to the patient? Look at her condition!"Bernard smiled and replied, "We're just trying to wake a criminal."The person turned to look at Daniella in shock and then walked away. Daniella finally woke up after receiving a second slap. Her body jolted, and her eyes opened abruptly. Seeing Bernard, she was terrified and asked, "W-What do you want?"Bernard gestured to the two bodyguards and signaled them to close the curtain. They followed his orders.Reuben carefully approached with Liora in his arms, paying no attention to the patient who was staring at him. He heard Bernard's voice from behind the curtain. "Ms. Love, you don't want to be tormented like this, do you?"While enduring the pain in her head, Daniella
Evan wanted to help Caroline with her problems, but he ended up making things worse.'How can I explain this to Caroline?' he wondered.Liora was peacefully asleep in her bed when she heard a voice."Time to wake up, little one," an ethereal voice whispered.Liora could move her eyes but couldn't quite open them.'Who's speaking to me?' she thought."Why won't you wake up? Sleeping is no fun," the woman said.Liora felt a surge of anger. 'What do you mean by no fun? How am I no fun?'Struggling, Liora finally managed to open her eyes.She saw Evan standing there, his gaze fixed on her.Behind him, there was a woman in a patient gown, her long hair hanging loosely. She smiled at Liora, though something was unsettling about her.The woman was undeniably beautiful but extremely thin, and her gaze was rather terrifying.Evan noticed Liora was awake and asked, "Lia, are you feeling unwell?"The woman turned to Evan and said, "Is this your father? He's quite handsome."Liora wa
Noticing something was wrong, Dr. Ortiz turned to Evan and said, "Mr. Jordan, why don't we have the child see a psychiatrist?""I'm not sick! Why won't you believe me!" Liora was upset.Evan tried to reassure her, "You're just going to talk to a doctor, Lia. It's going to be okay."Liora pouted, her eyes welled with tears. "Why won't you believe me, Mommy and Uncle Kenny do…"Evan sighed. Seeing his daughter so upset, he felt at a loss but knew consulting a psychiatrist was necessary.After Dr. Ortiz left, Evan comforted Liora by caressing her back for a while before leaving the room to call Reuben.He asked Reuben to find a psychiatrist and shared the details of Liora's recent incident.Reuben called back after half an hour."Sir, I've found an excellent psychiatrist, but they can only come to Angelbay later tonight."Evan checked the time. "When will they arrive?""Around 7:00 p.m. I've already told them to come to Villa Rosa and informed them about Ms. Liora's condition,"
Liora suggested, "Can we go to the playroom? I want to play with Legos."Sophia offered, "Can I carry you there?"Liora signaled to Evan, prompting him to put her down.Evan gently placed Liora on the floor, and she eagerly told Sophia, "Let's go!"Sophia smiled and held Liora's hand, saying, "Of course."In the playroom, Liora enthusiastically introduced her favorite toys to Sophia.Sophia listened patiently as Liora talked. When Liora was done talking, she asked, "Your name is Lia, right?"Liora beamed and replied, "Yes, I'm Liora Shenton."Sophia held Liora's hand and observed, "You have a fair complexion. Do you know how to draw?"Liora responded promptly. "Yes! What would you like to see me draw?"Liora grabbed a canvas as she spoke.Sophia pondered for a moment and then asked, "Hmm... Did you see anything fun or exciting in the past two days?"Liora shared, "Yes! I saw a beautiful woman today! She's beautiful but really strange." As she talked, she began to draw on th
Sophia's body was covered in goosebumps, and she felt a chilling presence in the air. It sent shivers down her spine.She noticed that the room's heating was turned on. This gave her a chance to look around and hand Liora a piece of paper."Lia, could you draw the beautiful lady now?" she asked.Liora glanced at the paper, then furrowed her brows. "I've already drawn her on the canvas, haven't I?""I'd like to see what she's doing now. Is that okay?" Sophia insisted.Liora let out a sigh and accepted the paper. "This is such a hassle...""Thank you, Lia."Liora peered ahead and said, "Stay still! This lady wants me to draw you! Do you want to strike a pose?"The woman in a patient's gown, floating before Liora, replied, "You're quite demanding, you little rascal.""I'm not a rascal. I'm Lia!" Liora retorted."Go ahead. No one will believe you even if you draw me," the woman said, floating up to sit on the windowsill.Liora shot her a disapproving look. "You talk so much!"S
Sophia told him straightforwardly that Liora could see ghosts!Evan looked at the drawings in his hand once more with a tense expression, muttering, "These people can't even help a child properly!"Evan crumpled the drawings in frustration and headed to the living room.As he entered through the backdoor, Liora's voice reached his ears.Liora asked, "What's a camellia? I know about lilies."I see. Why do you want it?"I don't understand what you're saying, but I can ask Tyler for money to get it for you."The graveyard? No, I won't go to that scary place!"Evan felt rooted to the spot after hearing Liora's words. He watched her talking to herself on the sofa with astonishment, and an ominous feeling crept over him. He recalled Sophia's warning.After a moment of contemplation, Evan walked toward Liora with a troubled expression.When the female ghost saw Evan approaching, she floated away from Liora.Liora noticed and said, "You're scaring her! She floated away…"Evan follo
