Chapter 1604


    Natalie nodded. “Indeed. It''s a meaningful gift.”

    “That''s right,” Lina agreed. “As for Anders, since Anders is physically weaker, I''ve designed a small


    crystal sculpture of the goddess of love as a pendant. Even though it''s not as special as Connor''s, this


    is the best thing for Anders. I hope Anders will recover so he can be a normal kid like the others.”


    Natalie''s heart melted, and her eyes even turned red. “Thank you so much, Lina.”


    “Hey,” Lina started with a huff. “I just reminded you that I''m their godmother. Why are you thanking me


    for this?”


    At Lina''s deliberate gesture of impatience, Natalie shook her head and smiled again. “Okay, okay. I


    won''t thank you anymore.”


    “That''s more like it,” Lina said in satisfaction.


    After tossing the empty coffee can into a nearby bin, Natalie told her, “And I was wondering why you


    were going out so frequentlytely. You were so vague when I asked you about it. So that''s because


    you were preparing gifts for my kids.”


    “That''s right.” Lina nodded. “There aren''t any gem-cutting machines in the vi, so I had to head out to


    the studios to rent their machines to make their gifts.”


    “It must have been tiring.”


    “It''s nothing.” Lina shrugged. “It''s not hardbor anyway, and I do like this. Moreover, I''m doing this for


    the kids I like, so it''s nothing tiring for me. Everything''s worth it as long as they like their presents.”


    “Don''t worry. They definitely will,” Natalie reassured.


    Anders was still young, so he would not be able to give Lina an answer.


    However, Natalie was certain that her two other children were children who would cherish presents


    given to them by others.


    “I''m d to hear that,” Lina told her as she stretched.


    Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The host of thepetition appeared and went on stage.


    The chattering people immediately fell silent at that.


    They knew that the appearance of the host meant the official start of thepetition.


    Indeed, once the host was on stage, he announced the start of thepetition. Then, the theme was


    disyed on the screen above.


    The moment the participants took in the theme, they began making preparations.


    In the meantime, Shane''s private jet hadnded at the exclusive apron at the airport. Dozens of people


    came down the ne.


    The two leading men were bodyguards.


    Behind the bodyguards was Shane.


    He was not holding the hands of the two children like he always did as he came down from the ne.


    Instead, he was carrying a child, who was tightly swathed in fabric.


    That child was none other than Anders.


    If Natalie were there—if she saw that Anders was not in the incubator and was in Shane''s arms instead


    —she would have burst into tears on the spot, for that meant that Anders could finally be out of the


    incubator. It meant that he could live as a healthy child under the sun, independent from the incubator.


    However, Natalie was not there; she was at thepetition.


    “Daddy.” Right then, a child''s voice sounded from behind Shane.


    When he turned his head, he realized it was Sharon.


    Shane was holding Ss'' hand and looking at him. “Daddy, how is Anders? He''s not airsick like I am,


    right?” she asked in concern.


    Shane gently answered, “No, Anders is fine.”


    Sharon sighed in relief. “That''s good to hear. I''m d. I''m so scared that Anders will be sick. Both you


    and Mommy get so worried when Anders gets sick.”


    “No worries. Anders won''t be sick from now on,” Shane told her as he looked at the boy in his arms.


    Sharon nodded. “Okay, I''m d.”


    “Sharon, you''re a good sister,” Shane praised as he reached out to pat Sharon''s head.


    Connor quickly chimed in. “Me too. I''m a good brother too. I was scared that Anders would get cold on


    the ne, so I kept asking the air stewardess to hand Anders some nkets.”
