Chapter 79


    “The nanny said Ms. Louise had left for the hospital early in the morning,” the bodyguard exined.


    “Oh,” Abel replied. No wonder I didn’t hear anything in her room earlier. I thought she was still angry at


    me.


    He thought for a moment before reaching toward the breakfast box in the bodyguard’s hands. “Let me

    deliver it.”


    The bodyguard handed the boxes to Abel.


    In the ICU ward, Hesperus had already woken up, but his face remained pale.


    He had inhaled the dirty water in the pond, and his lungs were infected.


    Emmeline discreetly administered several injections, which made him feel a lot better.


    “Mommy.” With tears in his eyes, Hesperus took Emmeline’s hands. “I’m sorry to make you worry.”


    “Don’t say that, my baby.” Emmeline ced a finger over his lips. She sounded like she was about to


    sob. “I’m happy that you’re okay. I nearly lost you.”


    “I’m already feeling a lot better.” Hesperus wiped the tears away from Emmeline’s eyes. “I’ll stay close


    to you so you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”


    “Mm. You’re a good boy, Star.” Emmeline nodded and struggled to hold her tears back.


    To her, Sun, Moon, and Star were her everything. She would only be happy if the three boys were


    happy.


    The door to the ward opened. Hesperus lifted his gaze over his mother’s shoulder and saw Abel.


    “Daddy…”


    “Why are you here?” Emmeline said coldly without turning around. “Didn’t I tell you not toe into the


    ward whenever I’m around?”


    Abel could tell that Emmeline must have mistaken him for Adrien.


    “Ahem, it’s me.”


    Emmeline was surprised to hear that voice. She turned her head around.


    “It’s you!” Emmeline stood up. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ryker.”


    “Breakfast.” Abel showed the two boxes in his hand. “I bought one for you and one for Star.”


    Emmeline blushed slightly. The eventsst night were still fresh in her mind.


    Abel also felt awkward. He put the boxes on the table and went to Hesperus’ bed.


    “Are you feeling better?” he asked in a gentle voice.


    He felt a lot more at ease when he saw the little boy gazing at him animatedly.


    “Thank you, Daddy. I’m feeling a lot better now,” Hesperus said.


    “That’s good to hear.” Abel patted Hesperus’ head. “When you’re feeling better, I’ll bring you all to the


    amusement park.”


    “Yay!” Hesperus pped his hands excitedly. “But don’t me Timothy though. He didn’t shove me into


    the pond on purpose.”


    “Tell me, what happenedst night?” Abel asked nervously.


    “I’ve already asked Timothy.” Abel heard a voice from behind him.


    It was na and Rosaline.


    na was holding a sk in her hands.


    “It was an ident. Timothy didn’t do it on purpose,” na said. “He tripped and identally shoved


    Star away.”


    “idents can sometimes happen when children jostle each other while ying,” Rosaline said. “I


    think we should give this matter a rest.”


    “I wonder if the culprit is a child,” Abel said sullenly.


    “Timothy is ming himself,” na said while wiping away tears in her eyes. “He’ll be scared if you ask


    him too many questions.”


    “That’s right,” na said. “I’m here to apologize to Hesperus on behalf of Timothy, and we’lly the


    matter to rest.”


    “I’ve never med Timothy,” Hesperus said. “He didn’t do it on purpose.”


    “You’re a good boy, Star.” Rosaline leaned over and gently touched Hesperus’ cheek. “Come over and


    y once you’re feeling better.”


    “Thank you, Granny,” Hesperus said. “Sun, Moon and I love you very much. We thought you’re our real


    granny.”


    Rosaline felt tears well up in her eyes when she heard that.


    “You can still treat me as your real granny. I’ll always love you like you’re my real grandsons,” Rosaline


    said while wiping her eyes. “What do you think?”
