Willow hurried toward the banquet hall to find Terence. As soon as she saw him, she hurriedly explained, "He's had more than two bottles of whiskey.""Is he trying to kill himself?" Terence asked as Willow dragged him upstairs. "Slow down, even if he's going to die, another minute won't make a difference. Why not just call a hearse now?""Are you even his friend? Why are you talking like that?""Oh? Sounds like you actually care about him?""I care about our business deal and my money.""Sure, keep telling yourself that. You both act so tough.""Here," Willow said as she pushed open the door. Instead of Theodore, she found Lionel in the lounge.Willow was surprised. She asked, "Why are you here? Where's Theodore?"Lionel replied with his hands behind his back, "He just left.""Where did he go?""If I'm not mistaken, he probably went to the hospital. He got a call from a woman. The woman said something about a child with a fever, so he rushed out immediately."Willow was stun

Sometimes, it was hard to see the truth when you were too close to the project.After the banquet ended, Willow left Sweeney Residence on her own."Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently unavailable…"She had called both Jessica and Penny several times, but their phones were switched off, and none of her messages were replied to.Her mind was a mess. She rolled down the car window and hoped that the night breeze would help clear her thoughts.Suddenly, a figure caught her eye."Stop the car."Isaac was slightly startled but quickly pulled over to the side of the road. "What's wrong, Willow?"Stepping out of the car, Willow said, "I saw a child alone by the roadside.""That's impossible. It's the middle of the night."Isaac also got out of the car without finishing his sentence. There was indeed a little girl crouching by the sidewalk under the streetlight. She couldn't have been more than three or four years old, with a tiny mushroom-shaped backpack on her back and a wh

"Miss, what's wrong?" Yasmine asked. She looked up at Willow with confusion. She couldn't understand why the woman was suddenly staring at her with such a strange expression.The word "Miss" snapped Willow back to reality. If Yasmine were still alive, she'd be about this age. Her heart ached as she said bitterly, "I had a daughter, and her name was Yasmine too.""Really? Where is she?""She… she's gone to a faraway place.""Did she die?"Willow froze.This child…Yasmine said with seriousness, "Every time someone says someone went far away on TV, it means they died."After so many years, this was the first time anyone had spoken about Yasmine's passing so plainly and directly in front of her. Her daughter hadn't just gone somewhere unreachable, but had died.Suddenly, a small, soft hand tugged at Willow's fingers.Willow opened her hand and found a milk candy in her palm."For me?""Yes," Yasmine said as she nodded. "Here's the candy, so don't be sad."For some reason, whe

The police officers turned around in surprise. "Really? That's great.""I'm sorry to hassle you.""Don't worry, it's not a hassle at all.""Well, in that case, let's exchange contact information. We'll accompany you back to your place to verify your address and make a record. When we get news from the girl's family, we'll come by to pick her up.""Alright, sure."On the way home, Yasmine fell asleep on Willow's shoulder. She was probably worn out from crying or was just exhausted. When they arrived, Isaac lent a hand and helped carry the sleeping child into the house.Willow was worried that Isaac's tall frame might accidentally bump Yasmine's head, so she followed him cautiously."Willow, are you sure you can take care of her on your own? I could take her with me. Besides picking you up from work, I don't have much else to do.""How's a man supposed to take care of a little girl? There are too many things that would be inconvenient for you guys."Willow settled Yasmine into t

Chapter 515

It was already past midnight, and the pediatric ward of the hospital was quiet.Once the door closed, the sounds from the corridor were cut off from the room.Theodore turned around and looked at Iris. "The fever's gone down. You don't need to worry too much. Just follow the doctor's advice, and we'll keep him under observation for now.""I'm sorry. I was supposed to take Yaron back to Emperia today.""Now is not the time to talk about that. You can go back once Yaron is feeling better."Hearing this, Iris clenched her fists. "Theodore, where were you today? It seemed like you drank a lot. The doctor said you shouldn't be drinking. You…""It's fine," Theodore interrupted, his tone tinged with impatience.Iris's expression darkened. She asked as her voice grew softer, "Are Yaron and I causing you trouble?"Theodore furrowed his brow slightly. "You're overthinking things. It's getting late, you should get some rest. The nurses are here to watch over him."With that, Theodore exc

"That's also a snack," Willow said with resignation. Why did she even think about letting a child choose?"Never mind, I'll decide. There's a place I often go to in this mall. Let's just eat there.""Miss, did you come here by yourself?" Yasmine asked sweetly while holding onto her hand.After hearing her question, Willow paused. Then, she responded, "No, I came with two of my friends."Yasmine blinked. "Then why aren't they here?"Willow sighed again. "I made a little mistake, so they're mad at me right now. Once they're not angry anymore in a couple of days, I'll bring you to meet them, okay?"Jessica and Penny were probably still upset. They hadn't replied to any of her messages since last night.The waiter led Willow to a table by the window."Could you please make the food a bit lighter on the stomach? Something suitable for kids. And aside from that, a plate of glazed pork chops, please.""Sure."Willow handed the menu back to the waiter, then glanced over at Yasmine. T

Seeing this, Penny tapped Jessica's shoulder. "What are you doing? You're scaring the kid."Only then did Jessica snap out of it. With a more serious expression, she asked, "What's going on with this child? Can you explain?"Willow recounted the events of the previous night."Oh, so she got lost? Her parents must be something else. I mean, with all the kidnappers out there nowadays…"Penny grabbed a piece of pork and put it on Yasmine's plate. "Eat more.""Thank you, Ms. Ashworth.""You're such a good girl. Go ahead and eat."Only Jessica seemed unmoved by the child's cuteness. She broke the cheerful mood with a blunt question. "So, when is she leaving?"Penny kicked her under the table and said in a low voice, "Hey, keep it down! The kid's right here.""The police said they'll take her once they find her parents, but what if they never do? You can't just keep her at your place forever. She's not related to you."Willow said, "Let her stay for now. It's not a big deal, right?

Why was he here?When she spotted the person outside the car window, Penny jabbed at Jessica with her elbow and signaled her to look outside."Speak of the devil, and the devil appears," Penny remarked as she glanced around. "He wouldn't have installed surveillance in your car, would he?""Stop making things up."Willow handed Yasmine to the two women and said, "Take Yasmine upstairs first.""Are you really going to see him?""I have no reason to avoid him." With that, Willow got out of the car.Behind her, Penny and Jessica walked straight past Theodore and into the building with Yasmine. They occasionally glanced back at them with curiosity."Why are you here?" Willow asked with a serious expression.Theodore's demeanor was less tense than the night before, though it was still far from cheerful."I came to apologize.""Apologize? For what?""For leaving without telling you last night.""This is just a small issue, so you don't have to apologize. Mr. Bassett, you're free

"What are you two whispering about?" Willow asked as she looked at the two huddled together across from her.Penny immediately looked up and replied, "Nothing much. Jessica said she's staying over tonight.""Alright, then Yasmine will sleep with me tonight."Willow patted Yasmine on the head and asked, "Is that okay, Yasmine?""Sure," Yasmine said while handing Willow a washed strawberry. "Ms. Jett, here. Try the strawberry.""Thanks, Yasmine."Penny shot Jessica a look and said with a low voice, "Stop making things up. How could that be? Also, don't bring up Willow's child. It's like reopening old wounds.""Alright."Jessica hadn't meant to bring it up intentionally. She just found it too coincidental that Yasmine resembled both of them so much.…That night, it rained.For the first time in a long while, Willow dreamed of her daughter.After leaving Emperia three years ago, she had struggled with insomnia for a long time, let alone being able to dream. Later on, she had t

"Isabel, nothing happens without a reason. What's Mr. Bassett doing this time? Swinging by and conveniently dropping off coffee to butter us up? Didn't he already divorce Ms. Jett?" one of the secretaries muttered."Yeah, and he even worked with us on the amusement park project, and in turn gave up several percentage points of profit. It was so easy to negotiate with him.""I bet he wants to get back together.""Honestly, I think that'd be great. Mr. Bassett is so handsome, and he and Ms. Jett looked perfect together."Isabel finished making tea and cast a glance at them. "Mr. Bassett's business isn't something for you all to gossip about. Get back to work. Do you all have nothing better to do?"The group stuck out their tongues sheepishly before rushing back to their desks.Suddenly, Isabel remembered something and quickly returned to the office.It wasn't Theodore's first time visiting Willow's office. Without waiting for someone to guide him, he pushed the door open and walke
