Chapter 429
Charlotte dreads having her meds. Her mum would always have to force her to take them, so she
thought,'' Uncle is so cool! He doesn''t need mum to force him.''
His lips curled up as he smiled with his eyes. He looked weary from his fever, and his voice had
sounded deeper and sultrier when he said, "Do I look like a hero?"
"A superhero!"
He carried her over and ced her on hisp. He asked, "How great am I?"
She pondered for a moment and motioned to the ne with her tiny fingers as she replied, "As mighty
a s this ne, and as great as Ultraman!"
Vibrations could be felt from his chest when he let out a low chuckle. He pinched her cheeks with his
Not being able to fight over his drowsiness from his fever, he soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Summer carried Charlotte over from him.
From after they''ve boarded until they havended, he remained asleep.
Finally, when the ne hadnded, Summer pushed his arm a few times and shook him awake. She
told
him, "We should get off now."
He stood up and carried Charlotte in his arms. The chauffeur had already been waiting for them right
by the entrance of the airport. Summer had wanted to rent a cab, but Charlotte had not wanted to let go
of Mark.
"I feel bad for him. I want to stay with him a little longer. His body feels so warm, like a furnace!"
Mark eyed Summer before getting into the car, and Charlotte followed along. Feeling defeated,
Summer too got in.
The summer in Nokoc Bay could not stand a chance against Santabaca. It was always rainy at
Nokoc Bay, but in Santabaca, it was warm and sunny.
Along the way, Charlotte had not stopped checking up on him. As if she was a tiny adult, she handed
him water and even touched his forehead to check for his temperature. She even scolded Summer for
being cruel and not caring enough towards him. "He had given us his coat, but you gave him a
disgusted look!" reprimanded Charlotte.
The car pulled over in front of an apartment, and they got down. Summer had walked over to a
pharmacy across the street and bought two boxes of medicine. She left after cing them in the back

seat.
He yed the pill in between his fingers. He could feel himself huffing out hot breaths through his
nostrils.
The chauffeur spoke up, "Mr. Valentine, madam has requested for you to head back to the mansion."
"Okay," he answered and closed his eyes, resting them.
Yvette was in the living room watching television when she saw him stepping in. She asked, "Are you
busy these days? Have you not gone back to the apartment?"
He pinched his temples and nodded, "Yeah, I was quite busy. What''s wrong?"
"I just wanted to ask, what are your ns for the custody arrangements? Are you going to do it or not?"
He took a gulp of water as he sat on the couch. His voice sounded hoarse when he replied, "Nope."
Hearing so, Yvette froze. She pondered, ''He acted like h e wanted to take over her custody before.
What changed? Why doesn''t he want it now?''
''But, it''s best if he doesn''t anyways. When he gets married again next time, he can have as many kids
as he wants. That one would mean nothing.''
"Why do you sound like that? I think you''re sick, aren''t you? I''ll call the family doctor over," she said
hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Summer and Charlotte had stayed at her parents'' house for the night. Instead of sleeping
with Summer, Charlotte slept with Daisy.
Having been apart for so long, Daisy had missed her granddaughter incredibly. Charlotte, too had
whined about wanting to sleep with her grandmother.
Summerid on bed after showering. She heard a ping from her phone. She tapped onto the
notification, and the message was short as it wrote, "Have you slept yet? I''ve had my meds."
She nced at it for a while and tossed her phone aside. She paid no mind to it as she thought, ''All I
did was buy the meds. It''s his choice to take it or not.''
